The fried calamari made an excellent chioce for antipasti - the squid was fresh & batter was tasty. For secondi, the branzino (fish of the day) was impressive as well - fish was fresh and I loved the charred and crispy skin. I was glad that I had some space for dessert, as the tiramisu was exactly the way I liked it - moist with decent amount of coffee flavour. Waiters were friendly, and service was good and quick.

A late night comfort food truck spot run by Mateo, his wife and family, that hits the spot.They even have a TV to catch a game.Whether it's plato de fritura with pig ears or a Dominican Cubano sandwich the truck has a non-stop flow of customers into 4 am some nights.Had the DominiCubano which is layered with smoked pork chops, shredded pernil, a secret garlic based sauce, mozzarella, swiss cheese, cabbagge, tomatoes, onions, ketchup and a ketchup mayo comboThis was a delicious sando!Yaroa the Dominican casserole isFries topped with shredded beef and chicken, melted mozzarella, ketchup, mayo and cheddar cheese.. Yep its loaded!The fried plate of meats and pig ear is just deliciousness to look at. The pig ear had an interesting flavor. A little tart and chewy .Fried plate has pork, chicken chunks, (longaniza) dominican sasage , salami, fried cheese, steak, pig ears, smoked pork chops with sweet potatoes, fries or fried plantains,Dont skip out on the homemade flan cocho a flan cake topped with tres leche. Damn this was good! Took a slice home as well.

Great food and ambiance. Would definitely return. Everyone that took care of us was lovely. Enjoyed the bruschetta and ravioli specials. Great drinks too. The cosmo was perfect.

We loved this restaurant with its cozy ambience and wonderful food. It reminded me of places we've been in Italy. We shared the pear and gorgonzola salad. I would highly recommend that!!! My husband got the Il Timballo and I had their special which was butternut squash ravioli with scrimp on top. I savored each bite. Both were excellent!!! The service was perfect. Attentive and friendly. We had a great experience.

Had dinner before a show and it was EXCELLENT! The service was very quick but the food tasted like it was made from scratch. I will definitely be back!

My wife and I had a 50th anniversary family celebration in New York and dined at Il Punto based on the recommendations of many TA readers. My recommendation is to believe the TA readers and try this fabulous restaurant. We were a group of 10, including two children,who had traveled from several Mid-Atlantic states. I had contacted the restaurant in advance to confirm several dietary preferences, and Antonio (GM) assured me that they would accommodate us. Our table was ready when we arrived, the service was excellent and the food was superb. Everyone was raving about the appetizers and their menu choices throughout the weekend. Thanks very much to Antonio and his staff for a wonderful start to our celebratory weekend.

A restaurant with real Italian food, an atmosphere just like in Italy, courteous service and a central location, a few minutes' walk from Times Square. Recommended to visit.
Great place for couples or friends. The food and service was excellent. The wine list is very good and they have cocktails as well. Don't leave without trying one of the desserts.

Good Italian food, small venue, great service. I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free. The gluten free pasta was good and did not make me sick, so they did cook it in a separate container. The venue is small, but cozy. It definitely has Covid vibes with the clear partitions still up. Maybe it helps with noise? There is a semi-outdoor covered area if you want to eat by the street. And the bar has some bar stools too. The guests with me had the gnocchi and the ravioli and said it was good. Service was excellent. I never had to ask for anything. That was a real plus.

WE LOVED the food and service. This is a semi-formal place to have authentic Italian food in a small place with charming ambience. We walked from the Arlo Midtown hotel, omnm W. 38th Street, and were very pleased with the reccomendation from the hotel staff. If you're staying mid town, do not miss this little gem. Prices were reasonable and the wine selection was fine.

Delicious Italian dishes, and no pizza’s but antipasti, primi and secondi. The Tiramisu with pistachio is heaven. Very good, efficient and friendly staff. Highly recommended!
