    Delicious! So unexpected. This location has been open for a while and I walked by it many times and finally stopped in. Previously this location had another restaurant that left a very bad taste in my mouth but today all that changed. Sara and Massimo you are both amazing, we feel so welcomed and you are so attentive. I have returned numerous times with a Friend or my family, and the food never disappoints. I love their pastas, all the appetizers, the shank and their hospitality. We will continue visiting this establishment as long as they are around. Excellent!

    This spot may be small, but it definitely holds its own evident from how busy it usually gets in the evenings. Luckily, we came by on an especially hot summer day and had no trouble grabbing a table. Our waitress was super friendly and walked us through the menu and specials. We went with the tuna tartare, the goat cheese and mango salad, and the Rigatoni e Gamberi. The salad was delicious the goat cheese was coated in crispy breadcrumbs, adding great texture. The tuna tartare was incredibly fresh, though I personally would've liked a bit more flavor. As for the pasta, the tomato sauce was tasty, but the shrimp seemed slightly overcooked and not grilled. Still, I'd definitely come back, I really appreciated the freshness of the ingredients and the fact that all the pastas are priced similarly.

    Briciola is tiny but super cute and cozy on 45th. Cocktails were made really well and the menu had so many great options that our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. Everything we ordered was delicious -- the mussels were perfect for sharing and the mains were packed with flavor. Service was friendly, the vibe was relaxed but lively, and it's the kind of spot you want to come back to so you can try more of the menu. Highly recommend for a casual date night or night out with friends.

    This is my favorite small neighborhood spot. The food is always delicious and their wine choices are very nice. Plus the service is great! It's right off 145th so there could be a little road noise, but it's never bothered me or our conversation. I highly recommend! Honestly, I've never been disappointed.

    Really nice and cute place! The restaurant is really small and most tables are for groups of 2 - so if you have a larger party you will be placed on a shared table with barstools. The host was really friendly and we had a nice experience. For apps, we got the goat cheese with herbs and this was my absolute favorite. it comes with some bread and has the cheese immersed in tomato sauce. Really yum! For mains, we got the fettuccine with mushrooms and I wasn't a huge fan of this - I found it a little bland. We also got one of their specials - which was pasta in pesto sauce with burrata and sun dried tomatoes and this was really good. For dessert we got the chocolate souffle which comes with a scoop of ice cream and some berries. It was really good and would definitely recommend!

    Such a gem in Hamilton Heights!!! Lovely bartender while we were there, great lunch specials, and tasty food! Tiny tiny place but those are often some of the best :)

    A delicious sausage, basil and pepperoni pizza. A nice glass of red wine, and a good book!

    The perfect place to come on a date, with a friend, or as a loner! Super cute, quaint, authentic spot. Delicious fresh food. Great service. A great variety of items, something for everyone! A sprawling wine selection, and good vibes!

    Small little slice of the building, but nice

    Carbs on carbs equal curves on curves, and this pasta is worth those extra stairs and hours at the gym. I'm so basic I can't tear myself away from the spaghetti and meatballs, but it's also just so good that I don't let them take that hot crusty bread away until I've gathered every last bit of garlicky tomato stain from the plate. I need to go with more friends for lunch so we can all get $21 wine and pasta specials so I can sample them all.

    Branzino Limone was to die for. The shrimp and artichoke Pizza wasn't my favorite of the ones I've tried (get the porchetta!)

    Oh this is my favorite Italian restaurant in all of Manhattan. You can't go wrong with the specials!

    I can't say enough good things about this place. It's cozy and warm, and the food feels like a warm hug. The pizza is always fresh and the flavor combinations/toppings are so good. I implore you to try every variety of pizza they have... I know I'm trying to work my way through it all. The service is great as well, especially for delivery. I called one time to customize an appetizer order, and they accommodated when they really didn't have to... I appreciate the flexibility. I have heard their gluten free options are also fresh and tasty as well, so this place is definitely a winner in my book.

The restaurant door was open so it felt airy and had the ambience of an outdoor cafe. The service was quick and attentive. I ordered the carbonnade flamande, which is a beef stew made with Belgian beer. My friend ordered the Moules Frites. Normally I'd get the Moules Frites as well but I wanted to vary it up since I had seafood for takeout the night before. This was my first time having this beef dish. You could taste the beer in the beef stew but it wasn't too overpowering. Felt almost like a goulash. I was hoping for something with a bit more seasoning but overall, it was ok. The dish came with frites too which I was excited to try. They were crispy yet soft on the inside. I like my fries a little more skinny and crispy but these went well with the beef gravy on the side. Overall, the evening was pleasant but the food wasn't the best Belgian I've had, about a 3/5 for me. Just so so. Also, as a side note - They really need to work on their bathroom situation. The queue was really long for one stall and people were lined up the whole time we were there.

Located in East Harlem, the subway took me to 103rd Street. A steep hill fortified my appetite. Cafe D'Anvers is easy to spot with it's inviting red exterior. Laura was at the table. Jackie greeted us cheerfully. We came here for Moules Frites which we ordered and a glass of Sancerre to wash it down. Two large kettles were put down in front of us with plenty of mussels and a separate bowl of fries. Mayo and ketchup to dip the fries. I prefer mayo. We ate our way enjoying the meal. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with a sour cherry sauce and their signature chocolate mousse with strawberries and puffs of whipped cream. Both desserts satisfied immense. I recognized the mousse cups as I had bought them at Eataly. Jackie told us that they make the mousse and have an account with Eataly to sell it there. Laura and I enjoyed our lunch here. I also spied Jo Malone hand wash of English Pear and Freesia in the gender neutral restroom. Cafe D'Anvers is a cozy restaurant with both seating and a bar area. I am looking forward to another meal here.

    Major side notes: The prices online are a whole lot less than what's listed on the menu there so I…read morehave added a photo from outside. For instance, the pistachio crusted salmon is $28 online which is a good deal for the area and $38 there which is a bit much among other dishes. There are also missing things from the online menu such as the grilled octopus. Anyway, I was here recently at this pretty new restaurant with a small group of 5 others. The menu online is listed as Mediterranean and Italian but I found more stuff on here to be Italian and in general, there's a lot of seafood on the menu. I am quite aware how new this spot is because I was (rather unfortunately) at a prior cafe at the same exact location called Atelier which was Middle Eastern and French influenced which was absolutely terrible but luckily this place is much better. There is ample rooms between the different tables and the lighting is nice. The music, or rather muzak, are covers of songs which don't really fit here such as Despacito (I can't believe I heard this at a Yorkville place) but at least the volume was low. The service was a tad slow and didn't pay attention well enough but I presume some of this will improve as the place has been here longer and I'm not surprised how long the meal lasted because it's Yorkville/the UES. They gave us several types of bread to munch on with a couple pieces on each side not matching and there are bottles of olive oil. The best of the breads were the grissini/breadsticks and there was a piece of olive bread which was pretty tasty also but all of them were good. I went with a special of the day as my appetizer which was the Soft Polenta with mixed vegetables and tomato sauce for $24. This was pretty pricey but the portion size was probably big enough for two to share. The polenta texture was fine and warm while the vegetables (zucchini, carrot, eggplant, tomatoes, some other stuff) was much hotter on top which was a bit odd. I wish that there was more of said vegetables because this was the best part of it with the tomato sauce being quite nice. Another person had two appetizers as their meal and enjoyed the Fritto Misto as well as the Eggplant Napoleon. My main dish was the Pistachio Crusted Salmon which is listed online as $28 with citric fennel and butter. However, as said, the actual menu version is an extra $10 more and has a lemon-capers vin blanc sauce instead along with sweet potato puree and asparagus. I have no complaints about the protein as the salmon was good quality, they gave a pretty decent portion, and it was cooked very nicely with me personally having ordered it as rare and it coming out as such being fork tender and quite buttery. My issue instead of the fish was the pistachios as while the dish was listed as crusted, the pistachio flavor was almost muted being more of a topping than a crust which was unfortunate. The asparagus below were fine and the puree which took up the majority of the plate had a good texture and the flavor was fine. Overall, the dish was good but not almost $40 good. Another person had the Spaghetti Special with cherry tomatoes, calamari, and fra diavlo sauce for $42 (also available with shrimp instead for $36 on the main menu) which they enjoyed, one person had the Fettuccine Bolognese, and another person split the same salmon dish with someone else along with I believe the whole Mediterranean Branzino which they enjoyed. For dessert, another person ordered the chocolate cake at the end for us to share which which was a good portion but unfortunately was a bit dry with another person at the table saying that was probably a bit old. I was happy that it wasn't too sweet though I did find it dry with the crust at the end being the best part as it had a good texture. From the completely different price points and menu to the service woes to the minor issues with dishes, it's hard for me to give this spot a higher rating. The chef clearly knows how to cook everything perfectly but the little faults add up. Mid 3 lowered.

To eat I got the egg sandwich with ham, cheese and it came with tomatoes and lettuce. There was one slice of what I think was American cheese and it was on a brioche. Looked like a hamburger bun and it was small. I thought the eggs would be scrambled by they were over easy or over hard or something as they were not runny and not scrambled. It comes with fries but , I opted out of fries or a side salad. The sandwich had no taste really and it was pretty oily. I was disappointed in it especially, because of the price of it. This restaurant was empty with one table being used when I came as I came around 10am so it was still early. But the decor in this restaurant is very pretty and elegant. They have a back area with more tables and chairs and a nice looking bar area. Will I come back and try something else for either lunch or dinner or to have a drink? well maybe. I mean the staff were nice though when I placed my food order and explained to them my food allergies there was a bit confusion, they thought I was allergic to only potatoes because I opted out of having french fries but that was not the case. She had to have one of the other guys come over to hear what my allergies were. They both were nice but felt a little rushed while telling them my allergies. I rate this 3.5-4stars. I wanted to rate it a bit higher because of the gorgeous interior.

The dough was again gummy, the cheese was not fully melted and the sun-dried tomatoes were very chewy.

I had just taken my boot offm and walking up the stairs would be contraindicated. Upstairs had just been closed. I approached the bar in the restaurant, separated by the cafe by a black curtain. I asked if I could sit at a small table. At least two others were empty. I was told I could sit at the bar, presumably with cafe things I said I'd buy. The bar was too small to write. I went outside to eat and write. It was chilly. The danish was DRY. I could easily have gone to any of thousands of NYC or Queens places, or gone home to make a cappuccino, have a snack, or cook even something simple to taste brilliant as my food does. I asked after some minutes to sit at the bar to write for a while. I observed, and told them that no one had sat at that small table. I know they need restaurant seats. I would have sat for about half an hour, an hour the most, and moved (after half an hour) if it had been the only table left and dinner customers were waiting. I had finished eating. The man, maybe the owner, said that it is not a SHELTER. He said they were different businesses. They had not told me that earlier. So build a wall between them! I will not return, or even buy a coffee again from there, or suggest it to anyone. You know how often restaurants close.
