Traditional Italian cooking served in a narrow room with exposed-brick decor & a romantic feel.
Amazing experience. The food was amazing. Unassuming little Italian restaurant tucked in the heart of the neighborhood. True Italian experience once you get inside. We would love to go back. Hand made paste was amazing, the desserts were some of the best we have ever tried. Definitely recommended.

The pizza at La Rustica really hits the spot. Great taste, plenty cheesy and the right amount of sauce. It definitely has that old school pizzeria taste and the cherry on the top is that all of the toppings are beef! No pork!!!!!!

Very organized and always makes my drink exactly how I like it. The staff are so friendly and kind, and they really brighten my day. I love this store so much! I know experiences can depend on the day or shift, but every time I go, it’s always been great for me🩷

Looking for a place to use the restroom, I discovered this cafe one Saturday evening. Thank god I did! The raspberry and passion fruit tarts were really delicious. I deducted 1 star because of the vegan blueberry muffin (not pictured here). It was atrociously sweet. But otherwise the tarts, the ambience, the cute cafe charm and of course the sweetest employees will probably draw me again to this place.

I had a divine experience at Madame Bonté cafe. I discovered this cafe through the inkind app- I wish i had known about them sooner. Delicious food and drinks, warm and professional customer service and a clean place to eat. If you are just popping in for a pastry and coffee to go they are quick and efficient- if you choose to stay for a bite it is a cozy and clean place to pause for a minute. I want to give recognition to Cagla’s exceptional customer service and to Jalil for the DELICIOUS avoc

Amazing food! This is the best Guatemalan food I've had outside of Guatemala. We had the kak'ik, pepian, the enchiladas, and the atol de elote, everything was delicious, authentic, and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is cozy, everyone was friendly and service was fast and efficient. I will def be coming back to this place and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try Guatemalan food!

Such a spectacular hidden gem of a restaurant! Service was impeccable, servers and waiters were always there to take plates and refill drinks, I was thoroughly impressed. The food was extremely delicious, I got the salmon which was cooked perfectly and placed over an incredible light mustard sauce. The chicken and veggie plate were great too! The restaurant served many complimentary small plates, which was greatly appreciated, that included a bread basket, mini charcuterie, green beans, carrots,

Welcoming coffeehouse with handcrafted coffee, espresso & tea, plus breakfast, lunch & pastries.
Great location inside my college! Friendly and welcoming employees!!! I always have a lovely experience here. To be clear, I always use mobile app orders and they're prepared quickly. I wouldn't order otherwise, as I have noticed very long wait times. But for me, it's always been pleasant. The woman (who wears a hairnet and has dark hair, I believe is the manager) is the kindest Starbucks barista l've ever met.

Relaxed eatery serving straightforward Chinese food such as General Tso's chicken & crab rangoon.
Honestly just wow. Can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on this spot for 6 years. This is the neighborhood Chinese spot you have to go to if you’re looking for classic “American” Chinese food. It’s well cooked, great flavor and perfect portions. I got the steamed broccoli, crab Rangoon and sweet and sour orange chicken. Broccoli was steamed to perfection. Crab Rangoon were a little bigger than bite size, well fried and well filled. The orange chicken had veggies and pineapple in it. All around super

This is an incredibly cute bakery just steps from Central Park. If I lived in the neighborhood, I’d be here every single morning. They offer both cozy indoor tables and lovely sidewalk seating for people-watching. While it is pricey, the quality justifies the splurge. The baguette was exactly what you want—light, airy, and incredibly fresh—and the coffee was excellent. The pastries are true works of art; almost too pretty to eat! I picked up a small Lemon Iced Olive Oil Cake ($26) for my wife;

Really enjoyed Chez Fifi, its French bistro theme, quality of food and service lived up to the hype. Our waiter Alex was attentive but not pushy and helped guide us through the menu in detail. Starting with a generous French 75, we enjoyed the the beef Tartare was the appetizer. Simple, fresh accompanied eith fresh chips ( instead of bread crisps) Their staple half chicken was our main. Chicken was moist, made better with the accompanying sauce. This main comes with a neatly dressed salad an

It was the best experience we’ve ever had at a bar in NYC. We met Bob and the bartender Victoria; we had amazing conversations and were welcomed in a way we had never experienced in New York before. If your goal is to have a local experience with great music, excellent beer, and fair prices, and if we had to recommend one place we loved and would come back to again and again, it would be this incredible and welcoming bar. Bob and Victoria, you have our respect and our love, from the most grate

Absolutely amazing! I stopped in for a nice lunch and coffee after a doctor’s appointment in the area and cannot recommend this place enough. It feels just like a fancy European cafe. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Try the avocado toast and their signature espresso drink!

It’s a nice cafe located in the upper east side. In all honesty, it completely exceeded my expectations. We loved the turkey sandwich and all the ingredients were super health. I also recommend pancakes. It was deff a five star experience.

Hands down the best coffee shop on the Upper East Side! I am a big fan of their espresso drinks including the single origin for drip or espresso which truly is amazing! Each staff member makes sure that I always have a great experience here and the coffee is that 3rd wave epicness that is actually worth coming in for! Happy that they know how to expertly prepare it each time too !!! Usually pick up a bag of their coffee to make at home too! Thank you Green Lane for being such an amazing shop!!!

Sushi & Japanese seafood dishes are offered in this relaxed venture with a terrace.
Excellent Omakase restaurant on the upper east side. Very high quality seafood, much of which is flown in from Japan. Professional Omakase chef and friendly, professional staff. Lovely atmosphere in this tastefully decorated restaurant. Most patrons sit at the counter where they can chat with the chef who presents an array of delicious delicacies, which may vary seasonally and even daily. Excellent selection of sake. There are two seatings nightly and reservations are required. This is the best

I’m not sure what happened could’ve been the time we arrived which was at 1030pm I was told the kitchen was closing at 11pm. I’ve had better. This is my second time the first time was take out and I ordered lamb chops steak creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes it was good. This time the food wasn’t good the branzino wasn’t what I expected. Empire steak house is completely my favorite and better. The fingerling potatoes was too garlicky no flavor little cheese.

I had such a great experience at this Oakberry location today. Peyton was working by herself and still handled a long line of orders, including mine, with so much care, patience, and professionalism. You could really see her strong work ethic in how she managed everything so smoothly. My açaí bowl was delicious, one of the best I’ve had, and she still took the time to make it perfectly even though she was juggling so much. Peyton truly deserves recognition (and honestly, a raise!) for the amazi

Hunter Delicatessen is a great option for students since it offers a discount for them, even though the prices can be a bit high compared to other places. Despite that, the ingredients look fresh and of good quality, and the food is good. The staff could honestly be better.

Akura has been our go-to sushi spot ever since they opened. The fish is always incredibly fresh, and and the pieces are chunky! The staff is very warm and welcoming, and we’re often treated to a little complimentary something. My husband has basically tried every poke bowl with his top pick being the spicy lava bowl. I’m loyal to the salmon avocado and tuna mango avocado maki🫡 Honestly, we’ve never ordered anything here that didn’t hit.

Amazing old school Italian at its finest. Each dish was so well made - plated hot and never over done. Never felt rushed which is hard to find these days in NYC. Great service and even better wine pours. Lucky to have Nicolas in my backyard!

Brick-lined Italian restaurant lures locals with homestyle red-sauce dishes & an unpretentious vibe.
Living across the street, I always passed by this place but never came in, and I regret we did in the end. There is not one Italian working in this Italian-wanna-be restaurant. Our server was arrogant from the moment we stepped in. No wine list as someone has mentioned, just a question - white or red. We asked to try their wine as there was no wine menu. After having a few glasses and our food (which was very mediocre, by the way), we decided to get another glass of wine and also asked to taste

Upscale spot in a luxe apartment building for delicate desserts & espresso plus afternoon aperitivo.
The yogurt parfait looked good with the deconstruction as a nice elegant touch. The Nordico was expensive for being so small. In addition the bread was crumbly and cold rye which is good for soups but not for salmon; nowadays the ryes for salmon are pillowy. I know it's classic to use a crumbly rye but that's changed. The coffee was burnt drip coffee so I wouldn't order that again either. The ambience is classic hotel coffee bar, clean with classic wood chairs. I liked it for conversation. The

Bustling cafe with limited seating serving freshly baked goods & exotic cakes, plus prepared foods.
Poor service and unpredictable staff- especially the women who is always, always a sourpuss and miserable. Explains why it’s never particularly busy as the poor attitude for a neighborhood spot is a real turnoff. Unfortunate as the food coffee is quite solid/good.

Had such a bad experience. I live across this place and have ordered over 5 years numerous times. But this time I don’t know if the management has changed or what but such a bad pizza. The first pizza was burnt, at least 10 jalepenos on it, no chicken and couldn’t even taste the bbq sauce and was so salty. We called and they said they will exchange only after seeing the pizza.. come on we’ve ordered from here numerous times. Anyway we went to exchange and the guy at the counter said will exchan

My best friends and I went here today for a quick dinner date. The cashier, Danasia, was super friendly and welcoming. She treated us with great respect and kindness! Lowkey hard to find especially given that we live in New York in this generation… It was not packed at all and we had the whole place to ourselves. The spicy tuna sandwich + tuna sandwich was amazing!!! Personally for me it lived up to the hype. Definitely a must try if you haven’t yet!!!

Was hankering for something cold and refreshing that gorgeous sunny day and chanced upon this coffee place. I dont drink coffee, but my friend swears how good their coffee is. They use Colombe coffee, so I guess it is a good one. Coffee drinkers know what they want😂. This is a small place and they have other beverages besides coffee. Wanted to write this review because they have very nice polite staff working there. Knocked a star off though because the patrons from next door almost monopolized

Honestly one of the best bagel spots in the area! The bagels are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. I got the garlic bagel with chicken salad and it was so good. Staff is super friendly and the place has a really homey vibe. Tons of cream cheese options to choose from. Plus the prices are way better than other bagel places around here - you're not gonna spend $20 on breakfast lol. Clean space with good seating both inside and out.

This is my favorite place on the upper east side. The food is great and fresh, the drinks are strong and good! This restaurant is owned and operated by a family of professionals that put service first and set a standard for dining on the UES. The ambiance is great for both a solo venture or a family and friends dine in. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy 🌹

Service: the girl who serve us has a terrible attitude. There was no line and she seems to be in a hurry to take our order. We didn’t even get the chance to really look at the menu because she seems to be irritated. She even told me and my friend “ill take your orders and you guys can pay together”. She didn’t give us a choice. I orde

This is one of the locations of the famous Parisian bakery in New York, but unlike their larger branches, this one feels more like a small pop-up. It’s quite compact, with very limited space and surprisingly no washroom, which was disappointing for a café. We stopped by for hot chocolate, but they don’t offer the full café experience here — no ceramic cups or signature pots — everything is served in to-go cups, which takes away from the usual charming vibe. That said, the hot chocolate was exce
