Mediterraneo,

East 66th Street, Manhattan, New York 10065

"My husband and I consider Mediterraneo our all-time favorite New York haunt. It’s always a pleasure to dine at this authentic Italian gem, where Massimo and Melania, the warm-hearted owners, set the stage for an unforgettable experience. Their genuine hospitality and deep knowledge of Italian cuisine create an atmosphere that feels like home. The wood-fired thin crust pizza is nothing short of a masterpiece, leaving us craving its unique flavor whenever we're away from New York. And the homemade lasagna and other pasta dishes are a true testament to the culinary expertise in this kitchen. The staff embody both friendliness and professionalism, adding another layer to the dining experience. It's evident that they love what they do, making every visit a delightful journey into the heart of Italian culinary tradition. We often bring our out-of-town guests here, and it has become our go-to spot for family celebrations. The welcoming ambiance and exceptional food make it the perfect setting for creating cherished memories. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Italy with a side of genuine warmth. Thank you Massimo & Melania for giving us more reasons to love the Big Apple!"

"Great Italian restaurant owned and operated by a family from Florence italy. The food is exceptional the service is wonderful and the atmosphere is superb. I went there for lunch and they were so attentive that I felt like I was in the dining room of Italian friends. Prices are reasonable for the area and the portions are quite generous. You really get your bang for your buck here. I give this top star reviews and the highest recommendations. I had the carpaccio Bomba and followed up with a perfectly made macchiato espresso."

"Nice place in a great location. But... The food is tasteless. Just a bunch of ingredients put together with no real thought and with no combined taste. The wine was ok, nothing more and the prices are way too high for the quality of the food. Service was fair"

"A lovely lunch at this unassuming restaurant. The service was excellent. Food very tasty. Called because we were running late and they were very accommodating. Very enjoyable meal and would definitely recommend."
