Quality Italian, New York NY

Absolutely amazing place for steak (and a variety of great other food if you're not the kind of person interested in steak). They had a Bistecca Fiorentina special for two people (large porterhouse steak often served in Florence, Italy), which was incredible and almost like getting it in Florence. It was only missing the lemon on the side. Their seafood appetizers and pairings with some of the steak dishes are also fantastic. Also make sure you get a side of Brussels sprouts which are fantastically roasted and dressed with an amazing citrus sauce.

I have been here twice. The first visit was excellent on all fronts - food, service, atmosphere. The second time I went with a group of 5 and it was a slightly different experience.

There appeared to be an issue in the kitchen and after receiving the appetizers on time we waited 90 minutes for the entrees. The staff was very aware and provided more wine on the house as well as complimentary desserts.

Besides this unusual snafu, the food was, as expected, excellent. I would definitely return given the opportunity.
