Beautiful hotel restaurant with ample outdoor space. The Spicy Lamb Ragu had amazing flavors. The shredded lamb was tender, and the pappardelle was al dente. I enjoyed the hint of mint - wasn't in every bite, just here and there. My friend's Skirt Steak had strong scallion aroma and taste, which I enjoyed since I love scallion. It was a tad overcooked than medium, but still delicious. read more

Really cute restaurant inside a hotel lobby but such a vibe. Had live music and even a professional pair of dancers on Saturday evening. We got there just in time for their happy hour box, which was a great sampling of the apps and small plates. The pasta and their cocktail menu were both great. Definitely recommend and would go back again. read more

Had dinner (asparagus salad and ravioli) with a group of 8 on Friday night. The food was good looking, but unappetizing, too rich and under spiced. The service was lackluster, probably because there is 20% automatic gratuity for large parties. Our server only stopped by a total of two times over the whole night, and it was very difficult to get the attention of any of the other wait staff. read more

Came to Lulla for a late lunch with a friend and loved the experience. Caught aperitivo hour which starts at 3pm and started things with an aperitivo box for two for $26 which was a great spread filled with everything from sliced nuts and house made focaccia, to a delicious meatball and tomato and mozzarella salad. I opted for a cucumber and tonic mocktail and my friend had a spritz which she loved. Then we got the mussels cioppino which was the perfect sized dish to share and it was delicious. We also got the crispy artichoke hearts which were wonderful. Loved the service and the perfect Al fresco setting with coverage overhead just in case there was a summer shower.

I would've given Lulla a 3.5, however what should've been a 1.5 hour dinner turned into a 3 hour dinner so I have to downgrade it to a 2. The food was ok overall. The focaccia was great; the eggplant parm, potatoes and crispy artichoke were just ok. For mains we did the vodka fettuccine, the lamb ragu and the ricotta lasagna. The vodka and lamb dishes were the standouts. At this point we were 2 hours into our dinner due to slow service, there was an event occurring at the same time, so I don't blame the staff at all, but the building regularly holds these events so they should be staffing accordingly. We then made the mistake of ordering dessert because we were tempted by the fresh baked cookies. The cookies were great, however the 45 minute wait for them was not great. So yes, go at your own risk and don't make plans afterwards. read more

Our first night in New York, and we had an excellent dinner downstairs in our Hotel the Motto Hilton in Chelsea. The restaurant Lulla was exceptional in service, food & ambience. We were greeted by the manager Alex and our server Jack was charming and delightful. We started out with the delicous Polpette as an appetizer. From there we moved on to our watermelon salads, and our main course the Branzino & Skirt Steak, were amazing. Everything was so flavorful and beautiful presentation. We were honored to have met the chef himself as he stopped by our table. Pleasantly surprised, the chef gave us a complimentary tasting of his Agnolotti bolognese dish and house made focaccia bread -- both were mouth watering dishes. Thank you Chef for the nice reception. As a previous owner of a restaurant myself for the past 30 years, I have to say and feel very confident that Lulla will continue to be successful if things remains the same, the welcoming staff/the flavorful food/the impeccable service from everyone. Will definitely come back before we leave New York. read more

Don't go here. We had a reservation that the hostess couldn't find. Instead of giving us another table or saying how long a wait would be, hostess didn't accommodate at all. So we had a party of 8 just standing around the hostess stand wondering what to do. Eventually we got the reservation service to call the manager who seated us in the lounge which is just a bunch of couches. Barefoot kids were running on top of the couches and the manager had to kick them off the couches so we could take our seats.... Very unappetizing. When we finally got proper seating we ordered some vodka pasta (unsalted) and arugula salad (heavily salted for some reason). This was a terrible experience, I've never been so angry and frustrated at a restaurant before. read more

Tucked inside the bottom floor of the Motto hotel, Lulla is truly the definition of a hidden gem! This place is even more awesome because they have happy hour ("apertivo hour") every day of the week. You won't want to miss their Apertivo Boxes, which are iconic on their own: perfect for people like me who want to try a little bit of everything. All of the small bites in that box (that I was able to eat as a vegetarian) were to die for-get this!! We also tried a few other small plates: Eggplant Parmesan: this had a ton of flavor, which made me happy because this dish can be a hit or miss. Crispy Artichokes: delicious, perfectly crispy/breaded and a very small portion. Handcut Fettuccini Vodka: this was probably our least favorite item-I think it really just needed more vodka sauce and salt! Easy fix, so hopefully the chefs will take note. The pasta itself was a lovely texture. Lulla also makes a really solid Aperol Spritz, and it's even better when you come during their happy hour and can get it for $12! read more

The mascarpone lacked flavor & not sure why, but the 4 measly bites of mango were drizzled with a savory garlic or chive aioli! Yccch! Missed the cocoa nibs altogether.

Manager was extremely confrontational when we expressed the poor service. He came over twice to intimate us saying to excuse everyone's behaviour but didn't take any accountability.

This is the bar and restaurant in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel Motto. It's a newer hotel, and the lobby bar/restaurant area is trendy and has a nice vibe (though like many Manhattan options, a bit spendy for those of us visiting). On nice days, they can open up the glass walls to create an indoor-outdoor space which is quite nice. I haven't had too much food here, but the almond croissants and avocado toast available at breakfast were both high quality (relatively quick) breakfasts. I've also met colleagues here for drinks after work, and it is an accommodating space (even for a medium-sized group). read more

The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music.

The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

For those who savor finely concocted cocktails paired with fresh raw bar offerings in a salon-like setting, this is the spot for you.

During our stay at a hotel across the street, we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant, and it turned out to be an absolute highlight of our trip. It was a quaint and cozy place From the moment we were greeted, the experience was top-notch. We opted to sit outside, and our server, Carolina, was an absolute delight--attentive, warm, and incredibly helpful with her recommendations. Her knowledge of the menu made choosing dishes easy, and everything she suggested was spot on. The food was beyond our expectations. The hand-cut fettuccine, served with veal meatballs, was cooked to perfection--savory, tender, and full of flavor. The Agnolotti, filled with mascarpone, was a standout with its creamy, nutty filling. The Linguine Vongole was also a highlight--perfectly cooked al dente linguine tossed in a rich, briny white wine sauce, featuring plump, tender clams. It was light yet flavorful, with just the right amount of seasoning and a hint of garlic. A true seafood lover's dream. We also tried the appetizer bites sampler, which was the perfect way to start the meal. It included a generous selection of all their appetizers, and it was more than enough to share around the table. Each bite was a delicious taste of what they have to offer, allowing everyone to try a bit of everything. To top off the evening, we were greeted by Megan, the manager, who was full of energy and just as friendly as Carolina. Together, they made our night unforgettable. Their warmth and enthusiasm really set the tone for an incredible dining experience. For dessert, we indulged in warm, freshly baked chocolate cookies paired with ice cream. The cookies were perfection--gooey and not overly sweet, just the right balance to end the night on a high note. We'll absolutely be recommending this place to our friends and family visiting New York. It's a must-try! read more

Feedback on my recent lunch experience this past Wednesday. While we were impressed by the modern, romantic atmosphere of the hotel and the adorable outdoor seating area, the food and service did not meet our expectations. We visited for an outdoor Italian lunch with my mother and daughter. While we were greeted quickly and placed our orders promptly, several issues arose: - Focaccia: We were disappointed that bread was not included, and the focaccia we ordered arrived after our main courses had already been served. While the bread itself was delicious, the balsamic and oil dip was far too sweet. - Pasta: My daughter's pasta and meatballs were particularly underwhelming. The sauce lacked depth and flavor, and both my mother and I found it to be of poor quality at an Italian restaurant. Tasted like a can of Chef Boyardee - words from my mother. - Shrimp Caesar Salad: My salad consisted mostly of iceberg stems with very little green leaf. The shrimp and pesto were flavorless, and there was no salt or pepper on the table to adjust the seasoning. - Service: Although the waitress was thoughtful in offering a child's portion for my daughter, there was a significant delay in checking back on us while my daughter was waiting to eat. Additionally, we were only asked about our experience as we were paying and walking out, which felt too late to address these concerns effectively. On a positive note, my mother's burger was cooked perfectly, and your bar area looked very inviting. However, given the inconsistencies with the meal and the timing of the service, I am hesitant about returning. I hope this feedback is helpful as you continue to refine your dining experience. read more

Discovering Lulla NYC was a delightful experience that perfectly blends comfort with culinary sophistication. I visited for a late lunch and indulged in their summer lasagna, paired seamlessly with a glass of house white wine. The lasagna was a standout dish--layers of fresh ingredients melded together with rich, vibrant flavors, creating a satisfying and memorable meal. The house white wine complemented the dish beautifully, adding a crisp and refreshing balance to each bite. The ambiance at Lulla is both cozy and inviting, featuring warm lighting and tasteful décor that create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're dining solo or with friends, the setting is perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal. The staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience with their excellent service. Leaving Lulla, I felt completely satisfied and already looked forward to my next visit. If you're in New York and seeking a spot that offers delicious food in a comfortable setting, Lulla NYC is a must-try. Its combination of delectable dishes, fine wine, and charming ambiance makes it an ideal choice for any dining occasion. read more

I'm a regular at the Lulla Bar at the Motto Hotel in NYC, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The entire staff is fantastic--always warm, welcoming, and attentive. From the moment I sit down, I'm greeted like family. Christian Bernal, in particular, is an outstanding bartender. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly set him apart. On my most recent stay, he went above and beyond by picking up donuts for my son's birthday, just to make my checkout and travel home smoother. That kind of thoughtfulness speaks volumes. The drinks are top shelf, the food is consistently excellent, and the atmosphere is the perfect blend of inviting and sophisticated. Whether you're staying at the Motto or simply nearby, Lulla Bar is well worth a visit. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

If you're looking for a spot in NYC with good service and a smooth happy hour experience, Lulla is definitely worth stopping by. read more

I had brunch at Lulla last weekend and sadly, I was underwhelmed. I felt that, given how relatively slow the restaurant was at that time, the service was slow. The food was okay but nothing spectacular. The ambiance, particularly with the patio being open on a sunny day, was a real delight. Overall, it was an okay meal but I'm not sure I'll be recommending it to friends as a brunch place. read more

Amazing dinner here with friends! The happy hour deal was great with the Aperitivo Box. Drinks were creative and fun. Loved the Caprese spritz and electric Watermelon.

It's got a decent seating and service setup. The pasta is homemade, which is a plus, but it can be a bit lumpy and heavy on the garlic. The Chicken Piccata was more fried than expected. The menu is somewhat limited, but the cocktails are a highlight - really good. read more

I had a really enjoyable lunch at La Pecora Bianca! I ordered the Toscano salad with salmon, and…read moreeverything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The salmon was a generous portion, beautifully seared, and seasoned really well. I especially enjoyed the vegetables, which were perfectly cooked. They were tender without being too soft or tough and packed with flavor. All the ingredients complemented each other nicely. The service was excellent as well! We sat outside, and our waiter was very attentive. My only complaint was the seating arrangement. I was with a larger party that preferred outdoor seating and the only available tables were right next to the sidewalk grates connected to the subway. Unfortunately, there was a pretty unpleasant odor coming from the grates throughout our meal, which took away from an otherwise lovely dining experience. I'd recommend avoiding seating guests in that particular area, as the smell can be quite distracting while eating. Aside from that, I really enjoyed the food and service and would happily return.

I also had some tea. Everything tasted fresh and came our very quickly. For dessert we ordered the Tiramisu for 2, which was good for four. The Tiramisu was the star of the show!

One can go for more trad'l breakfast food (tho upgraded!) or one can do more lunchy items. Every dish I've ordered, and the dishes of those with me have been nothing less than super delicious. It's kind of pricey, so take a look at their menus on line,,,but it's worth every penny. Try their amazing pancakes, which can be eaten as a dessert and shared among 4 people. Or go for the gusto and order it for your brunch meal. It's sweet and delicious. The waffles are also great. And so is their pizza!! I highly recommend L'Amico. It can get moderately noisy, but for parties of 2 or 4 it shud be no problem. A few times I went as a party of 6 and we had some problems hearing one another from one side of the table to the other. However, the sound level is not oppressive,,,quite similar to so many Manhattan restaurants. So, the sound level should not be an obstacle for most people, except if you go in a large party and need to discuss things quietly.

My favorite dog friendly restaurant!!…read more It is so sweet that there is a menu just for the dogs. If you do intend to bring your dog, just make sure to note it in the reservation as they will put you on the patio, and do a lot to space out the dogs. I would note, it's called the patio, but it's not just for summer since it's like a three season patio, which they keep temperature controlled. We went in February and were extremely comfortable! It is fun for the dogs, but the food is genuinely good for the humans. In our most recent trip, my partner, my dog, and I all had some version of the burgers. Our dog had the Wilson's Burger from the Dog Menu. We started with the pull apart bread which was incredible (fluffy with a great salsa verde, it's cilantro forward). I had the double patty burger, and my partner had the grilled wagyu burger. The double patty burger was delicious, but very pickle forward and was extremely creamy (cheese and black pepper mayo). It tasted like a burger with a pickle sauce, which I loved, but if you're not a fan of pickles or creamy things, I'd avoid. My partner, (who doesn't like pickles or creamy things) really liked his grilled wagyu burger. Of course, we both upgraded for the fries. The service probably is the best part of the restaurant. The entire staff is so friendly, the host even made a birthday card for our dog's birthday. Our waitress, Katherine, also brought a birthday pupsicle with a candle on the side for our dog! She also kept checking that his water was full. When you book a reservation, they try to get as much information as possible to make your visit as enjoyable as possible, and I really like that!

The food is really good. I tried one of their frose drinks and it was good and the shrimp scampi pasta I had was delicious but the portion was definitely on the smaller side. I made a reservation, but from what I saw it looked like they do take walk ins. The space is very open and feels comfortable, not cramped at all. The standout for me was the salad. It really lived up to the hype and was so fresh and flavorful, but you absolutely have to tell them to go light on the Parmesan because they do not hold back. It is one of those spots that actually lives up to the buzz. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area.

I've also done happy hour outside in the summer, and they have a beautiful outdoor space. The interior is beautiful too, and I could see this being a nice spot for a date night or a group gathering. I've tried the eggplant pizza squares, burrata pockets, pesto pasta, and pea dip. The eggplant squares definitely have a bit of a kick, and the pea dip was surprisingly earthier than I expected. We also had the Brussels sprouts without pepperoni, and those were good, but I preferred the artichoke. It had a nice char without being overly cooked. The desserts are really the star of the show. The Strawberry Fantasia reminds me of the Good Humor strawberry cheesecake ice cream, but better. The Pistachio Pistachio is a pistachio lover's dream. The drinks are great too. I like the Gin and Brusco, though I taste more Lambrusco than gin. The Smokey Luigi is very pretty and definitely boozy, but still balanced. The staff has been friendly, and I've enjoyed coming here at different times of the week. Definitely save room for dessert.

I also got a side of sweet potatoes because it doesn't come with any sides. The desserts were amazing! Decadent chocolate mousse cake and a savory limoncello olive oil cake! Wonderful experience!

Now i've wished I did this earlier so I would have made a dent into my bookmarked restaurants. Better late than never. So Upland was my first spot I did a solo lunch and I felt pretty liberated doing so. No reservations. I just decided to get up, take a 10 minute subway ride down, and walk right in, where the hostess was able to seat me at the bar. Tables were unfortunately all reserved, which was fine by me. The food took about 15 minutes to get to me after I ordered. So at this point, I was already 30 minutes into my lunch break. All good. Nobody's looking for me. I ordered the Crispy Duck Wings ($23) for appetizers. An order came with three wings, pretty decent size, and it was soaked in a yuzu kosho seasoning, making it unique. It sound expensive, but worth ordering (maybe to share). For me entree, I ordered the Rigatoni ($26), which they used beef bolognese and grana padano. That surely hit the spot. I'd definitely recommend this spot for a date night, family dinner, or friends gathering.
