Visited this restaurant for dinner this past weekend. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted, seated and our drink orders taken. We were provided with a panoply of specials as well as the regular menu selections. The food was extremely fresh and the service kind and highly attentive. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend this restaurant for superb Italian fare.

We live in Queens, and were looking for a place to make reservations before our Broadway show on a Friday night. We made reservations, and were seated immediately upon our arrival. Service was fast but experience was slow (which is a good thing!). Let me explain; staff was extremely attentive, and our food and drinks came out in a very timely manner. But the experience was slow; again, in a good way! As in they don’t shove menus in front of you as soon as you sit. First, they served a wonderful starter bread with oil and a zucchini starter (which we hadn’t ordered). They took our wine order; and served us our wine. They let us snack on the break a bit; and THEN gave us our menus. Which is extremely refreshing change of pace especially for NYC. We got dessert and coffee and were still out within 1.5 hours with plenty of time for us to get to our show.

A wonderful meal of pasta with black truffles and bone-in veal chop Parmesan that were perfectly done with excellent service. One of the best experiences in some time.

Quite simply we never heard “no” or “we can’t do that.” As foodies that was extraordinary. We dined on a Saturday night and the vibe was energetic created by a wonderful age mix of dinners. If a restaurant can be analogized to an orchestra Diego is the conductor and the staff performs without missing a note. I would be happy to share our various courses but that would be limiting and that is not the goal of Il Grandino. Their goal, quite simply, is to satiate. Oh, and if you must wait for a bit…success creates demand, they boast a wonderful bar and wine selection.

What a special dining experience! The staff is so warm and friendly and the food was delicious! This intimate restaurant is perfect for a date or family and friends to come together and enjoy what is probably the best Italian food in NYC. I had the salmon and it was excellent.

Had lunch there today. We had the ravioli il Gradino and fettuccini con cardiofi. Both were excellent and very tasty. Pasta was made in-house and the sauces were made with fresh ingredients. Will definitely return.
