We were in NYC multiples times with my extremely sick sister after multiple surgeries. We stumbled upon this restaurant and we will always cherish it! The staff took AMAZING care of us! They even made us a special table for Valentine's Day. I highly Recommend and would absolutely come back!
Finestra Restaurant East 73rd 1st ave , if your in the area give this cute cafe a try.
