If you have a large group in New York, then this is the place to go. This is perhaps one of the best Italian restaurants in New York. It is extremely popular, though, so make sure you make reservations before going. The restaurant is huge and always packed. The menus are largely printed on the walls. Everything is served family-style there. A dish will cost between $20 and $30 dollars but will easily feed four to six people. You get appetizers first with your run-of-the-mill stuffed mushrooms, calamari, salads (you must get the Caeser--it's excellent), and soups.
For dinner, you order a pasta dish or two, a few meat dishes (the chicken piccata is one of my favorites), and some vegetable dishes. All are excellent here.
For dessert, they have a sampler platter filled with fresh seasonal fruit, tiramisu, New York cheesecake, and other wonderful things.
I happened to be with 12 people on this excursion, but if you only have a few people, you won't need to order as much as I did. The service is very friendly, and the restaurant is right next to Times Square, in the middle of all the action. This is a good place.
