My favorites are the chicken parm and the vodka penne. I can always count on this place for delicious comfort food, fast delivery, good portions and fair pricing. Love Love Love this place! I could eat here every night! read less

Their signature pastas are delicious, try the gnocchi or the tortellini Emiliano. Both are creamy and well cooked. I also tried their sausage red sauce and arrabiata, which were solid. They give a complimentary garlic knot with each entree which in itself is buttery rich and full of flavor.
Make sure to save room for dessert! The tiramisu is hands down one of the best I've ever eaten anywhere.
The delivery has always been on time and they have always got the order right. Definitely my goto place for Italian food takeout. read less

I haven't been to the location and I only ordered once, but my experience was so flawless that I feel confident giving a 5 star review.
I ordered through seamless and it arrived within 20mins tops. The delivery guy was friendly on the phone and in person. I'm used to delivery guys calling and saying "food downstairs" like some sort of illiterate caveman, but this guy used full sentences and actually said goodbye before hanging up. (These are big factors, people.)
I got my food and I was immediately impressed with how nicely packaged it was. My plate was on a sturdy cardboard tray and had the utensils, free freshly baked roll and a little cup of Parmesan cheese nicely packed within.
I ordered the baked cheese tortellini with bolognese sauce. I take my first bite of this magnificent deliciousness and I moaned with such joy that my coworkers got a little creeped out. It was fresh and flavorful and definitely left me stuffed with only half. I saved the other half for the next day. Can't beat a two-fer deal!
Definitely became a new lunch spot. read less

The rest of the food is very solid, i order from them almost every day, some salads are great, some are average, salads with salmon or steak are usually great. I always ask for dressing on the side because if they add it themselves they drown salad in it. Sometimes i have like 2 inches of oil in the bowl after i am done.
Pasta in olive oil and garlic is very good. Other pastas are ok, just pasta, sauce and cheese. Lentil soup is OK, chicken soup is very good. Paninis and sandwiches are solid.
Holiday specials tent to be very good, roasted butternut squash was on point, most sauteed vegetable are very good.
Overall i would recommend the place, good food at a good price, when you compare the prices to other Manhattan places you can almost call it a bargain. read less

I LOVE the pastas here! It got me through my long runs and I looked so forward to lunch every time I had it. My favorite was by far the gnocchi. On some days delivery does take a while which is something to keep in mind, but it is always worth it.
Each meal comes in a box and has a garlic knot and parmesan on the side. The garlic knot is warm buttery deliciousness that is perfect for soaking up all of the sauce still in the container at the end. I'll definitely have to make my way to the actual store sometime soon as marathon training will begin shortly. But to the management--- PLEASE join seamless!!!!! read less
