Hello! Two of my friends and I met from out of state to share one day together in NYC on Saturday, 1/21/12. We chose Lasagna Restaurant in Chelsea for dinner randomly from the options in that part of Chelsea and had a special, very fun evening.   The atmosphere was nice and yet relaxed, the food was great, the drink specials were unique and well priced. Best of all, each server and host we interacted with was quick to help and friendly. Anthony was our primary server, and made the night for us with his excellent service, fun attitude, and attention to our needs.  He said he's been a server there for several years. We had such a great time we stayed for extra drinks and hung out until it closed.

Amazing food and atmosphere.., our server was friendly and helpful and made the whole experience wonderful...

I have been coming to NYC for a few months but haven't ventured out too far because of the weather. On a nice night on a past trip, I made my way out and found this lovely place. Very glad I did. Food is super good and the staff is amazingly nice and good. Very rare to see that combo in service. I look forward to going back and trying other items on their menu. I tried their sirloin lasagna and started to cry when I was finished with it. They use real ricotta cheese! Heavenly. I'm upgrading this to 5!

We never return food because we simply cannot eat it. That is until we ate here. Simply poor, soggy noodles, swimming in watery sauce.

I have been to the Lasagna Ristorante many times and after my experience today I don't think I will ever go again. Less than 1/3 of the tables were filled and the help was lounging around. It took over 10 minutes for our waiter to come to the table and over 40 minutes for our food to be delivered COLD! We were given every excuse in the book. It is the waiters job to make sure the kitchen delivers. Not even a free drink! They have lost a long term customer with their lame excuses!

For a restaurant called "Lasagna", their title product is incredibly mediocre. The chef clearly knows nothing about lasagna. First and foremost, lasagna is not a make-to-order dish, but a casserole that is to be made early in the day and reheated to order. Yes, REHEATED. Why? To give the flavors time to meld, to give the dish time to settle. The lasagna I received was watery (partly due to cheap sauce, cheap ricotta cheese, and blue-box pasta), and partly because it was assembled and baked to order. Who on earth taught these people how to make lasagna?

Another designer restaurant that doesn't even come close to real Italian food! Diners have better Italian food and I would not recommend them for Italian food.
