Enzo & Lucia Ristorante

The restaurant was very enjoyable and very busy since we came on the last day of The chocolate festival. We were a group of 8 people and they were nice in accommodating us without a reservation. The food/wine/drinks and atmosphere are good, however, by the time we finished our appetizers, it got really cold on the terrace. The main course was taking a long time (understandable, given the circumstances) and we asked the owners if we could finish our dinner inside, since everybody was freezing. They told us this would be impossible, since all of their stuff was exhausted from the festival. They did bring us a heater that honestly, didn’t do much since we were a large group of people that were complaining. At that time, they had plenty of free tables inside and a lot of people that were still eating when we left. I totally empathize with the stuff, but they were more than willing to move us, had the owner agreed, since they were freezing as well. Glenn, I understand that as you mentioned,

I'm torn. I've been here three or four times. And usually come whenever I visit the area. As someone who lives in NYC it can be tough to find places with food that's up to par. This was such a place, but over the past few times, I can see that their food can be inconsistent. Additionally, I suppose inflation may have decreased their dish sizes. I remember being super impressed by the steak my first time there just under two years ago. Anyhow, still a place which I'd say you should try at least once to decide for yourself. The ambience is very nice. Service here is typically good, though sometimes just okay. Their bread is always warm!

Nice place. The food is great and the service is also very good. The tables inside are a little too close to each other and hence the place looks very crowded. The outside area (we didnt sit here) looked a lot more comfortable and relaxed. Everything we tried on the menu was tasty and decent portion size.
