Wonderfully reliable local restaurant. It's not flashy or too pricey. Consistent, nicely prepared old favorites like veal picata, chicken dishes, salads, etc. Nice wines by the glass selection.

Delicious food and great ambience. My friends and I ordered the branzino and the risotto with scallops. Both were absolutely fabulous. The ambience, lighting and attention of the staff was stellar. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. We sat outside on a lovely spring evening last night. Not to be missed was the fried zucchini and calamari. The staff was so professional and attentive that it just added to the wonderful meal. Also, I thought the price of the food was reasonable for the wonderful quality and taste.

What a wonderful Italian gem on the upper Eastside of Manhattan. Service is outstanding and always make you feel special each time we visit. Cheers and look forward to our next reservation.

This was our second visit and not as enjoyable as our first. The food was wonderful, again, but it was very crowded and noisy and the wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed so service was lacking.

Amaranth is a New York classic!Delicious food, friendly staff, upscale atmosphere. Whether you are here for a business lunch, romantic date or a special occasion - you will have a great time!Love their salmon with asparagus and delicious dill sauce and chicken paillard! Highly recommended!
i had not been to Amaranth in many years and i have to say it was one of the best dinners i have ever had! food, service and ambience were outstanding:) thank you for a memorable evening and we will be back!!
This is best-of-breed classic Italian. Impeccable service. And it's quiet, so one can actually hear the conversation. Possibly the best high-end Italian cuisine in Manhattan, and a killer wine list as well, including some fine Bordeaux as well as a full range of Italian wines.

This neighborhood spot never disappoints and after 24 years of going here, we still love it. Luca is always amazing and makes us feel so welcome each and every time. We love Amaranth and all the staff, never change.

The restaurant is in need of a serious facelift...looks tired! The food was fresh and beautifully presented. I enjoyed an arugula salad with pecorino which was perfect. The tuna tartare fell flat, quite tasteless needing lots of salt and pepper to improve the flavor.
So horrible the place is so dirty I was just in there in a big cockroach climbed on my table the kitchen Dirty the staff is so mean, and I asked to use the bathroom and he told me no

You can’t use the bathroom unless you dine in… I’m pregnant and I was just trying to use the bathroom really quick. They told me for customers only and I offered to get something to go and explain why I have to use the bathrooms they just told me no even I’m getting takeout. What a

Cucina assolutamente lontana anni luce da minimi standard italiani. Quando ho prenotato per 31 dic non sono stata avvisata che sarebbe stata necessaria una cauzione e che era obbligatorio il loro menu. La cena non era adatta a bambini e neppure fornivano una sostituzione, ci hanno fatto pagare oltre 220 dollari per cibo cotto male, servito peggio assolutamente di scarso livello. Poco disponibili. La pasta cruda con funghi era pazzesca. Il pesce servito intero...una piadina bruciata per antipasto. Non lo consiglio a famiglie! Supervalutato nelle recensioni che avevo letto....
