Il Gradino

"After visiting this incredible place twice in the past week, I can definitely say that nothing beats their hospitality. It truly embodies the essence of Italian warmth and charm. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed like family. The selection of wine takes you on a journey through Italian wineries, and each sip is a delight. As for the food, it's simply outstanding. Each dish is executed to perfection, leaving you almost licking the plate after every bite. I must commend the staff for creating such a rare combination of perfection in the New York restaurant scene. Thank you, guys, for providing such a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return and indulge in your exceptional hospitality once again."

"I’m not sure why the reviews are low, one of my new favorite places. We wandered in late on a Friday night after a show. Inside: it was relatively quiet with Christmas music cranking. Staff immediately greeted us, sat us, and rattled off a list of specials a mile long. Everything we offered was lights out fantastic. The branzino in particular was insane. We closed the restaurant out and the staff couldn’t be nicer. 10/10 merry Christmas"

"Fabulous experience from start to finish! The service was outstanding, the atmosphere warm and quiet, and the food was some of the nest we have had outside of Italy! Well done! We will be back often!"

"beautiful ambiance, delicious food! chefs prepare food in front of you! definitely support this local restaurant!"

"Visited this restaurant for dinner this past weekend. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted, seated and our drink orders taken. We were provided with a panoply of specials as well as the regular menu selections. The food was extremely fresh and the service kind and highly attentive. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for superb Italian fare."
