Our family of 7 had reservations for 4:45pm, immediately after seeing a Saturday matinee of Hamilton. We were early, the table was ready for us. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable. The drinks were yummy and beautiful. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

My parents came into the city to celebrate my birthday and we ended up at Bond 45 without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon around 4:15pm. Beautiful ambiance and well dressed staff. The meal was nothing short of spectacular. The anti-pasta bar is absolutely to die for and it would be a shame if you missed it during your visit. This is a place that's not afraid to put in appetizers in before you order your main course so don't hesitate to tell your waitress exactly what you want when you want it. Coursing is very important to them!! The entrées were absolutely delicious. Before warned that they do not give complementary bread. We all agree that we will be back soon to enjoy another meal here! read more

Within Hotel Edison, where we stayed, were two complimentary breakfasts. On the lower level was a "grab and go" breakfast. I couldn't believe the wonderful offerings: fresh fruits (apples, bananas and tangerines), large croissants, three egg sandwiches, granola and fruit topped yogurts, orange juice and coffee! My egg, cheese and caramelized onion was so delicious. My coffee was deep brewed and was very good. Service was fast and servers were wonderful. What a surprising addition to our NYC adventure. read more

Bond 45 221 W. 46th. St. New York, NY 10036 This beautiful restaurant is located in the heart of Times Square inside the Edison Hotel. First and foremost, the service from the primary server and busboy were excellent. They were both very attentive by keeping my water glass full and they always stopped by to collect any plates I no longer needed. Cutlet was gigantic and pounded thin; the breading gave it a nice crunch. The small chicken bone on the side of the cutlet was a nice decorative touch. The sauce had fresh chunks of tomatoes and complimented the CP. Parmesan Cheese was freshly grated with a cheese grater. The mozzarella cheese needed to be melted down a bit more; wasn't charred enough and was too gooey. Although the $13 up charge for the five spaghetti pomodoro was a bit pricey, I was still grateful there was an up charge option to begin with. Otherwise, I would have had to purchase an entire pasta entree. The undercooked mozzarella cheese was the main downside to the plate. Otherwise, it was tasty and the service was beyond superior. #bond45 #chickenparmreview #bond45timessquare #chickenparmesan read more

I'm always a little hesitant about dining in very tourist-heavy areas, and this restaurant is located right in the Theater District. My niece made the reservation because of its close proximity to our 7:00 pm show. They recommend booking no later than 4:30-4:45 pm for a 7:00 pm curtain, and after our experience, I agree. We arrived a little after 5:00 pm due to my flight and commute into the city and still made it out around 6:40 pm, but there were only two of us. With a larger party, you'd definitely be cutting it close. The staff overall was friendly. Our server wasn't particularly warm, but he did offer excellent recommendations for our entrées. We ordered the Toasted Garlic Loaf, Little Gem Caesar Salad, Housemade Ricotta Ravioli with Mushroom Ragu, and the Mediterranean Branzino al Forno, along with a Bond Cup and a glass of Prosecco. The mushroom ravioli and branzino were the standouts and both were flavorful and well prepared. They also surprised me with a special birthday presentation, which was a very cute and thoughtful touch. Overall, this is a solid option if you're looking for a reliable meal before or after a show for the good food, convenient location, and a smooth enough experience to get you to the theater on time. read more

We came during restaurant week, which was a happy accident! We had the meatballs which were some of the best I've ever had. The chicken parm was fantastic and was pounded out to perfection and took up the entire plate! I'd highly recommend! The pasta alla vodka was a bit spicy but was good, nonetheless. Our server was amazing. We never wanted for anything and his recommendations were spot on. This was a great place to come for lunch. read more

Ok let's start with the good. Great location if you're going to a broadway show. The place is pretty big inside most of the patrons are actually seated in the basement which is a pretty good size. When we went, it was a little bit warm down there. The staff are all professionals our waiter checked in multiple times and took great care of us, you can tell they train their staff quite well. Onto the food, I had the chicken parmigiana which was fine. I asked for a side of rigatoni but you only get spaghetti so I had to pay extra. Drinks are def on the higher end. Martinis are $20. The presentation is nice, the drinks are flavorful and aromatic but not potent. Our bill was almost $400 without tip for two adults and two children. read more

Dinner here before a show. Close to the theaters so get here early. It fills up quick. Service was good until it got busy and then it was hard to track down our server. Food was decent but I've had Italian done a lot better. The appetizers were the highlight of the meal. The fried artichokes and the Gorgonzola focaccia were amazing. Nice older vibe inside. Make a reservation and go early. read more

Stopped in for a drink before the show. Average drink with a hefty price. The presentation of the drink was nice, but it had a bitter taste. Server was absent for a while so it took a while to order and a while to pay - place was on the empty side. Sadly won't be back, but it was close to Broadway. Did not grab food, so I can't speak on that. read more

We were going to the theater and had lunch first at Bond 45. Never been there and was pleasantly surprised. Service was impeccable. Food choices for the price fix was ample for the time of day and servings were not cut in half. Took most of it home Started out with a caprese salad that was very fresh, cold and the cheese just melted in your mouth. Ordered the chicken parmigiana. It was as big as the round plate itself. The Tiramisu was light and delicious. Walked out full but not stuffed. The ambiance welcomed you right in with their display of cold salads and appetizers. Yes, I would go back read more

Very expensive. There are many other Italian restaurants nearby at lower price points. This giant two story restaurant has only 5 or 6 unisex bathroom stalls with long lines--a fact that would keep me from returning. It has a great location and good food. Vegetable appetizers very good. Interesting salads. We shared a good lasagna and pizzas looked great. Pricey Branzino fish was small for the price. Glad to have tried this theater district option one time. The ambiance is dark Manhattan style with jacketed waiters and theater murals. The waiters were nice. read more

Deb and I had dinner here in between theater shows. We started with the burrata and I also ordered Italian wedding soup along with a carbonara. The soup was a knockout, honestly some of the best I have ever had. The carbonara, on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown and lacked flavor. Our server was attentive and charming, and the interior gave off nice Italian vibes. Overall, the experience was solid, and the soup alone made it worth the stop, but I probably would not be rushing back just for the main courses. read more

We had a 4:30 reservation before a broadway show. This was a great location and after we got seated it filled up really quickly. So it was noisy but in a festive way! I would have appreciated an explanation of the vegetable bar but nothing was offered. My fettuccini was DELICIOUS, my son loved his pasta with meatballs and my husband's plate-sized pepperoni chicken was a hit. The cannolis looked great but they were empty in the middle--disappointing. Food came out really fast and the servers were very attentive to our water glasses. Overall a great meal and we'd go again! read more

Very underwhelming experience. The Smash Burger I ordered tasted like a frozen patty flash grilled or even microwaved, then covered in melty cheese and the cheapest quality small bun. There's no way to tell if the frozen party was cooked to order, medium, as the entire thing was gray-brown. I ordered two beverages and still have too much salt lingering from what I ate, even after I pushed it away and stopped trying to stomach the $29 burger. I ordered sans chips, paid the extra $13 for the asparagus. My partner is currently sick in the men's room as the chicken parmigiana did not settle with him. He also ordered the spaghetti side for $13. I helped him finish his food - the spaghetti was an absolute disappointment, even with its fancy name - and I can say we enjoyed the tomato sauce, but not the inedible burnt portion of what appeared to be gristle hanging off the side. The Bond drink was delicious. Maybe overpriced for regular bars, but this is Broadway, so it's right in line with theater pricing. We would order it again. I wanted to give this 2 stars, but I had to reduce it to one because I can't get over paying $153.xx w/tip for what amounted to an over salted, microwave burger and an Italian dish that came back up before we left. I'm really sorry about this review, but I'd rather pay $200+ in Jersey for a quality steakhouse than eat here again. My partner asked, "Would you rather eat McDonald's," and I was disappointed that yes, a McD's burger was better than what they served tonight. The ambiance is peaceful, the lighting was great, but we were three tables away from the bar and could follow along with the bartender's loud conversations word for word, "just got off maternity leave...I was born in Jersey but now I live in Queens...been here for 20 years now..." and we were reminded several times that we must be ready to leave by 5:30, we arrived at 4:15, and we've paid, lingered, wrote this review, and are now posting at leaving at 5:08pm. read more

Came here before a show on Saturday night, with a reservation. Restaurant is inviting when you first walk in, and we were greeted and sat right away. We had what seemed like the smallest, little round table in the middle of the restaurant, but the food more than made up for it. First our server was great, made great suggestions, and everything he told us about and described, was spot on and worth it. I had the lasagna and it was honestly, one of the most delicious Italian meals I've ever had. It's not your typical lasagna, it's in 3 rolls and with béchamel. It's a unique take on the classic and I can not recommend it enough. My husband had a stuffed pasta which he also said was great, but the portion was on the smaller side. We ran out before we could order dessert to catch the show we were seeing, but I will definitely be back! read more

Beautiful restaurant. Two floors. Reservations highly recommended, restaurant was quite busy. Drinks were on point. I had the Bond Cup, so refreshing. My husband had an Old Fashioned. For apps we ordered the calamari with spicy peppers. Our server forgot the spoon to serve the marinara sauce. But when we asked he came right away. We ordered the tomatoes and feta bread. Bread was crisp and the tomatoes and cheese were a great combination and a side of short rib meatballs. The meatballs were soft and great flavor. Our meals consisted of Bronzino with roasted peppers, fettuccine bolognese, ribeye with fries and a Cesar salad. For dessert we ordered the limoncello tart and cannolis. The tart made you pucker up in a good way. The cannolis were sweet with a nice crunchy shell. Perfect ending to a delicious meal. read more

Came back for the lasagna... and they were out . We ordered the ravioli and chicken parm, and the Cesar salad. The Cesar salad is meh, I make it from scratch at home and this one was nothing to write home about. The ravioli and chicken parm were really, really good. The chicken parm was... huge! We ended with the cheesecake, which is just absolutely delicious. Good vibes inside, attentive wait staff, and convenient location. All around pleasant meal and will be back, and hopefully they'll have the lasagna! read more

I'm 68 and entered the restaurant for a cocktail at the bar. The host stopped me when I was headed to the restroom. He refused to allow me to go downstairs. He claimed I was not a customer because I came in the front door. He wanted me to sit at the bar before going to relieve myself. I chose to leave. I had been a loyal customer for many years. I will never return or recommend Bond 45 again. read more

We had a reservation for dinner on a Wednesday evening before a show. We were seated in the basement at a tiny table next to the bar which was not ideal. Service was fine. They were hustling until the theatre crowd started to empty out at 6:50 pm at which point we had to flag our waiter down to get our check. The antipasti was delicious. We got the roasted carrots, corn salad and spinach. We also loved the Gorgonzola bread. The pasta carbonara was quite bland and boring. Supposed to come with guanciale and there were maybe three small pieces. The rigatoni vodka also had sparse guanciale which was disappointing but at least the sauce had some flavor. Cocktails were delicious. read more

The Ultimate Broadway Encore My wife and I have a tradition of catching a Broadway show for her birthday every year, and for the second year running, Bond 45 was our choice for the post-show celebration. Honestly? It might just be the best part of the night. Here is the breakdown of why this place stays in our rotation: The Food: Phenomenal. Whether you're hitting the antipasto bar or going for the classics, the quality is consistent and high-end. The Service: Exceptional. Even with the Theater District rush, the staff makes you feel like the only table in the room. The Drinks: On point. Their mixologists clearly know what they're doing. We used to save this for once-a-year celebrations, but that's a mistake. I'm making it a point to come back much more often. If you're looking for a spot that actually lives up to the Times Square hype, this is it. read more

I had an amazing lunch here last week on the advice from the Rogers theater boxoffice. I needed close and not a lot of food for my double day on Broadway. Jj or Jr ughhh forgot his name was such an amazing server. I believe my server's name was JJ or Jr and he was wonderful. I had ordered two appetizers for lunch and that was enough food to last me through my double theater experience on Broadway. I was also thrilled to know the restaurant was part of the Fireman group. I had just visited the Triangle Shirtwaist fire the night before. My great-grandfather was a fireman in New York City and worked that fire. The food was delish and the service sublime! Thank you for your kind hospitality. read more

I always try to stop by Bond 45 when I'm in NYC, preferably after seeing a show :-) I have always had great service and the restaurant has a cozy feel. Have enjoyed this place for years, including when it was actually on 45th. The menu has changed a bit over the years but their selections are good + the varieties of pizza options. I do have a suggestion - it's unusual to not offer (complimentary) bread with pasta dishes. There's a garlic bread loaf available ($10) which is good but sometimes plain sliced Italian bread would be just perfect. The prices are about what you would expect for a restaurant in the middle of the Theater District. Recommend trying at least once! read more

What an amazing experience! In the heart of the "touristy" area is truly a secret gem. We dined here without a reservation and the host was gracious and the service team were on point. We got the antipasto vegetables to start and for pasta we had the Lasagna and the Mushroom Raviolis. Really good, our server was right. We finished with chocolate mousse to share and my wife Paula had an Espresso Martini. This is our new forever pre-theater spot! read more

Dinner here was very good. Our favorite was the grilled artichoke. It was my birthday, which the host confirmed when we checked in, but the waiter never said anything about it. Just a weird situation for them to confirm it and then never bring it up again. Drinks were very good as well. It was a cool place inside too with a huge downstairs bar. read more

The mozzarella stick was literally one mozzarella stick. I think it was about a foot long and I don't even know how thick. It came cut in half and then we cut it again and shared it. It was good and I've never had a cheese stick like that, so that was neat. The garlic loaf was also delicious. It was a focaccia bread with a lot of butter, garlic and parm. Extremely flavorful and nothing needed to be added, just enjoy as is. The mains were also delicious. I had Italian wedding soup from the appetizer menu since I tend to get full with the actual apps. It was probably the heartiest Italian wedding soup I've ever had. Every spoonful was loaded with something. My husband had the bolognese and couldn't get enough of the homemade pasta. The vibe is really flexible, so you can come in dressed pretty nice or really laid back and it works. Regardless of how you dress, you get white glove service here read more

A delicious breakfast with okay service. I had the Greek yogurt with berries and granola (though I ordered the Greek yogurt with berries). The granola was very good quality, so I rolled with the mistake. My companion had the bagel board, which allowed her to customize her everything bagel with onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and capers to her taste. She really enjoyed that! The service was somewhat inattentive and took some flagging to get coffee refills and the check. read more

Once we checked it, we were sat quickly, we had two servers come and made sure we were attended to. Service-wise, it was very good. Food wise we were not impressed.

Bond 45 NY is in a perfect location - near Times Square and the theater district - just a two minute walk to our show! We made reservations (highly recommended) for an early dinner before our show. We were seated immediately, and our server, Luis, greeted us immediately. Throughout our meal, Luis checked on our needs, brought water, and chatted with us. He knew the menu well and helped with recommendations. The restaurant was just what you would want for an Italian place - well decorated and comfortable. It felt like the restaurants in Italy! The best part was the food. I see reviews with comments about average food. Guess they didn't choose what an Italian restaurant with an Italian chef is known for - fabulous food!! We started with the lightly fried Calamari appetizer with marinara - it had a peppery kick and was "lick the bowl" delicious! For mains, my husband chose Chef Brando's Lazagna, which he said spoiled him for any other lasagna. The pasta was house made and the taste wonderful. I chose the Fresh Black Truffle Ricotta Ravioli with mushrooms - another incredible choice with fresh house made pasta, the pillow-y ravioli was delicious in a delicate truffle sauce. The meal was so delicious, we opted to share the delicately flavored Limoncello Tart with fresh whipped cream - a perfect finish to our meal, with Coffee and 20 year Tawny port to sit back and savor the meal. Our experience was fabulous from greeting to server to food to ambiance. Give Bond 45 NY a try and experience what they do best! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. Perfectly situated in the Times Square area close to the theater district, this charming Italian eatery will surely impress out of towners. The chicken Milanese is large enough to split between two people and they have a generous pour when it comes to wine.

Up entering, the space gives off a warm and welcoming feeling. You see the bar loaded with veggie dishes. I was surprised to be seated downstairs - i didn't know they had a downstairs. It's charming and quiet. The food was good, but all we had were eggs and a salad. The service was a little odd. When the busser took our mostly unused bread plates, he knocked my lemon off, back on the table! When they brought my eggs which came with delicious potatoes, a small lemony salad, and toast, I had to request salt, pepper, butter, and jam. The jam was delicious. We also ordered a crab cobb but they brought a chicken cobb (and quickly replaced it). Unlike Cafe Fiorello, there was no chocolate at the register. Instead, there were delicious little chocolate chip cookies. The bathrooms were very clean and unisex. read more

In NYC for a few days and staying at the Hotel Edison on 47th street in the heart of the Theatre District. Had 7 pm tickets to a musical and decided to have a late lunch/early dinner at Bond 45 in hotel. It was lovely from start to finish, starting with excellent service from our waiter JJ. We decided on the prix fixe menu at $39 person. I had a generous serving of the Italian wedding soup and husband had a Caesar salad. Our mains were rigatoni alla vodka and husband had spaghetti pomodoro. All was delicious. For dessert husband had tiramisu, and I ordered the limoncello tart.
