During the Christmas season, came to Amarone with a group of 5 for a late lunch. Although I made reservations, the restaurant was not crowded. It was actually basically empty. The food tasted good, but the menu was a tad bit limited and they do not allow substitution/ changes to their dishes. Overall just a decent experience, not bad but not great neither. I most likely will not return because there are better options in the city. read more

I was here for a large event so I can't speak to what the regular food or service is like. Everything was fine, I suppose, but nothing stood out. I had the spaghetti bolognese which was pretty average, as was the Caesar. I ordered a gelato for dessert -- relieved when everyone else got their tiramisu as it looked pretty mushy, and not at all like a traditional dessert. (That said, the portion was huge). The acoustics in here are pretty awful -- it was so loud you could barely talk to the person across from you. I wouldn't tell people to avoid this place. Like I said, it's fine. But there are a lot of great choices in the neighborhood, and this one just doesn't rise to the level of "great." read more

Moderately energetic, cozy restaurant with fair pricing. highlights of the menu were the bruschetta and the crème brûlée. Service does take a bit longer than average. We had placed our entire order at the beginning to have a seamless meal however we found that there was a 15 minute delay between main and dessert. Overall though, the staff is kind and lovely. read more

It had been a number of years since I had been last to Amarone but what peaked my interest was that Amarone was going to become Root and Vine and people had already begun to review it and I wanted to try it out. However, upon arrival, there was still signage and specials listed for Amarone which I was happy about. [I inquired about the name and menu change and was told that the owner decided to stick with Amarone and the restaurant would not be becoming Root and Vine] I decided to go in and was directed to a table. Cold water in a carafe arrived and I was given a menu. No bread or EVOO was brought to the table. [somewhat of a disappointment for an Italian restaurant] I looked over the menu and decided on the grill salmon which was served with spinach. I also decided against wine and went for an Aperol spritz. The food came out in a short time and was hot and delicious. The salmon was sitting on a bed of spinach in a tasty sauce dotted with capers and grilled well. The Aperol Spritz was a good pour and refreshing on a hot day. The service was prompt and the waitstaff professional. It is priced appropriately for the area. I would recommend and will return. read more

Absolutely fantastic across the board! Every dish tasted great! I love pasta, but tried the chicken as it was recommended by the waiter and it was the hit of the night. Fair pricing for NYC. Good wait staff that took good care of the family of 5. Loved every minute of it! read more

Solid Italian spot in the city. Service was very friendly and they made you feel at home. Drinks were made well, especially the dirty and espresso martinis. Nice selection of bread for the table and the apps were great, we got the calamari and the antipasto. The chicken parm was very good - pounded super thin and a big portion. If you're a chicken parm lover - it's definitely worth checking out. We will be back for sure! read more

Nice, cute Italian place in Hell's Kitchen. Ordered calamari and arancini as appetizers - very delicious and light. For entree, we shared the lasagna bolognese and ravioli - absolutely delicious. Felt very light, almost homemade-like, which I love. Service was great and friendly. Food these days in restaurants make me feel bloated and weird, but this place did not at all. read more

Delightful restaurant. My meatballs were delicious, the wine was great, and the service was friendly. Thank you!

They moved back to Hells Kitchen and the foods as good as it's always been. Cozy warm ambience sets the stage for another good meal. I love supporting family owned and this still is one of my favorites. Started with mussels that were cooked perfectly. Next up was Pasta Vongole. Plenty of clams in a spectacular white wine, olive oil sauce on top of Al dente pasta. Dinner wouldn't be complete with out a Chicken Parm which IMO is one of the best. No matter where they are in the city, this is still one of my favorites, the food is always good and now that they are close to the theater, it's perfect for a pre-theater dinner. read more

Let me start off by saying my wife & I had a wonderful 33rd Anniversary dinner at Amarone Scarlatto's. Great service & my wife truly enjoyed her Pumpkin Ravioli & her Mozzarella, Basil & Tomato Salad. I on the other was a little disappointed with my chicken parm dinner. Seemed a little lite with the mozzarella cheese. The best part of my meal was my Caesar Salad. We started off Arancini which was just ok. I'll give it 4 stars solely on our experience not on my food. One thing I will say was everything came out very hot. Enjoyed myself but I'll try another restaurant next time we are in NYC. read more

My trip to the City was planned months in advance along with my reservation to Amarone Scarlatto. Besides the array of, "must haves," when visiting New York such as bagels and pizza, the traditional Italian dinner entrees should also be on most lists. That said, I was looking forward to dining here given the solid reviews and the great ambience displayed in the pictures. Unfortunately, my experience fell a little short of my expectations. I arrived a little earlier than my reservation, but the folks there had my table ready available right away. The atmosphere was excellent from the decor, to the spacing of the tables and the care spent maintaining the restaurant. The service was exceptional with bread brought forth quickly and service throughout being very attentive by all. To start, I had a Caesars Salad. Very generous salad with a dressing that was tossed into the lettuce which was not overwhelming in the least. The service approach with the cheese atop was non-traditional, but it worked well with such a large portion. My entree was a linguine and lobster special which was equally generous. I had not expected to manually crack the lobster, but the inclusion of the shell added to the taste of the sauce along with the other shellfish that was included. Unfortunately, the sauce could have used additional seasoning as it was otherwise very mild in taste. Red pepper flakes might have helped, but my sense was that the pepper flakes would have been too much. Perhaps other herbs and garlic were a couple of things that were missing. This was the biggest reason for my rating. The entree was followed with a delightful looking NY cheesecake. When it came to the table, it was presented with additional sauces and a topping, but the appearance did not translate into its taste. The cheesecake was somewhat bland and on the dry side. Those who have rated Amarone with five stars was a huge enticement to my reservation. I had a great conversation with locals who had nothing but wonderful things to say about why they frequented as often as they do. Their thoughts did not translate to my experience this evening. I plan to give Amarone another try as I did see entrees around us with the depth of red sauce that I prefer and the service that I had was simply outstanding. If my dining experience is different for the next visit, I'll be sure to share the experience. Be well. read more

Lovely atmosphere and most importantly: good food. I had the chicken parmigiana and was happy to see that it was not just a thin slice of chicken. Recently I ordered this elsewhere in separate restaurants and it was hard to find the chicken under the fried cover! The accompanying pasta was perfect too! read more

- we would easily come back and eat here again! - the dishes pictured were 10/10. Great taste, came out hot. The only minus is that the chick pea part of the Polipo e ceci dish was dry, but the seared octopus was cooked to perfection so we didn't care - not pictured are two espresso shots which were perfect to give us some energy in Times Square - great service from multiple people!

WOW! This place was phenomenal! Took my wife here for a nice date night while visiting nyc and came across this gem! Amazing nyc food for a reasonable price! First-The restaurant was very clean. Small, but had a cozy, romantic and pleasant vibe to it. It smelled like fresh cooked food the moment you walked in. I made a reservation on open table and got there right on time and was promptly seated 5-10 minutes. While you wait they have a small bar available for drinks which I highly recommend! The staff was probably the best part. Extremely professional, funny, and you can tell they work hard. They all did an amazing job! Second- the food was out of this world! They have a decent sized menu with a lot of amazing dishes to choose from. Me and my wife started off with some salads. I got a Caesar and she got the same. You can tell it's fresh homemade dressing and it wasn't to heavy portioned, but was enough to cover the whole salad. For our meals I got the Fusilli Norcia (sweet and hot sausage) and it was honestly top 10 best Italian dishes I've ever had. It was a great portion size but not to much. It exploded with flavors and just fresh tasting ingredients. It was presented beautifully. My wife got the pappardelle bolognese and I think that was even better! Generous portion size and it tasted incredible. It was hard not to steal food off her plate! For dessert we got tiramisu and chocolate cake which both were delicious. And ended it with some hot coffee and cappuccino and they were great! My only issue was that there was a good amount of time between courses, so be prepared to wait a little. But for how good everything was. It was worth the wait! I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Bottom line up front: check the store name and menu before going in. I think Amarone NY and Scarlatto merged and now have a different menu. Read on for more details. Broadway trip with my daughter and needed dinner in between shows. Here's how it went: The Good: - arrived right at 5pm on a Wednesday and got seated right away - decor and cleanliness was terrific - staff was very polite and friendly; a guy I assume was the manager came up personally to ask how things were going - Ordered the fettuccine portofino and the gnocchi sorrentina: both were delicious, hot, and came quickly; scallops in the portofino were done correctly and not too tough - bread on the table was delicious The Not So Good: - pictures on Yelp showed a different place, menu, and prices. So when we sat down I thought I must have missed a smaller door that led to the other restaurant. NOPE. I think Amarone NY and Scarlatto must have merged because they now have one awning with both names. Because of this, the menu has changed and is more expensive than the older Yelp pics. I'm uploading new menu pics to show what is there now. - and yes I checked. The menu pics show Amarone, my receipt says Scarlatto. - took a long time to get attention of staff to get the check Bottom line: good food. Service mostly good. Prices way too high for amount served. I'd come back for the taste if someone else decided to foot the bill. read more

Decided to try Amarone since we had a taste for Italian food and it was close to the theatre for our Broadway show. Received a friendly greeting by the host and waitress. Everyone worked together. Somehow our waitress forgot our fresh bread. As soon as we requested some bread, someone was brought it to our table immediately. Great service. Okay, let's talk about the food. I think great service is very important. The bread was soft and taste ok. Nothing special. Our Caesar salad was good. The lasagna was absolutely delicious. It had thin layers of fresh pasta and each layer topped with a delicious sauce. One of the best lasagnas I've ever had. Reasonable prices. Will visit again. read more

Wonderful brunch spot on the upper west side! We went and sat outside on an oddly warm winter day with our little puppy. The host/waiter/extraordinaire provided great service and accommodations. The brunch menu was limited however we were glad to hear the lunch pre-fixe was offered $17 per person for three course is an amazing deal! We ordered the meatballs, minestrone soup, and for entrees the eggplant parm (delicious!) and the Pollo alla griglia. And to top off, the tiramisu was one of the best! (Better than the one I make!). Highly recommend, especially if you want a satisfying brunch (that is not your typical eggs on the run). read more
