I enjoyed a lovely pre-theater dinner and the waiter was helpful if not somewhat chatty. I read the prices on the menu and found them comparable to other establishments in the area. However, $6.00 for a 10 oz bottle of Pepsi and $5.00 for a cup of Lipton tea is inexcusable and will keep me from returning to the restaurant.

Dined in this restaurant this past Friday. Service was excellent - waiter considerately asked us if we had a show to get to which we did & served our meal accordingly. Ambience was nice - our table was ok. Shared two appetizers, the Arrancini, which were to die for and home-made mozzarella w/balsamic vinegar, also very good. Also shared the butternut squash ravioli w/sage butter & the beet/gorgonzola ravioli. Both extremely delicious. Although the food was great, the portions are very small especially the appetizers. We are 2 women who were satisfied, but not so sure if the husbands would have agreed. 2 Appetizers, 2 Entrees & 4 White Grape Martinis (outstanding!!) came to $180, tip included. They did offer a set menu for $35/pp, but the choices did not interest us. Would definitely go back!

The food is at mediocre at best, slow service and extremely loud. not going back...

Better to get a slice of pizza around the corner. You will feel used when you're done here. Food is par. No better and way to expensive for what it is. The staff is not good. Nice but incompetent. You're in New York - there's no reason to eat at Abboccato. Ever.

I've eaten here several times and never hesitate to bring business clients, friends or family. The dishes are simple authentic Italian. The crudo is nice, as is the grilled octopus appetizer. The whole branzino is excellent and don't miss the creamy white polenta with gorgonzola, best polenta I've ever had (except at home!). The wine list is solid with many regional Italian choices. The first time I ate here I tried a Don Antonio Morgante Nero D'Avola Reserve, which I fell in love with.

My husband and I chose this place for the recent Restaurant week. Pleasantly surprised. Very cozy romantic atmosphere. Really tasty italian food..reminded me of our tuscan honeymoon. really fresh simple ingredients prepared well. good service. we will definantly come back on a non restaurant week night and sample the food again

I ate here on Friday night, and the service was very good indeed. Perhaps they have read all their bad reviews here! The food is very good indeed. I'll be back.
