All the stars. An absolutely amazing meal all around: service, atmosphere, food, beverage, aroma. Legitimate, authentic Italian food. Daily specials that impress. Oh, and get the cannoli. Center cut veal is worth a plane ride back to the city alone. It’s so nice to actually be able to hear people at dinner in the City.
Beautiful place, the food is delicious and we were attended to very respectfully. Great lunch.
This place is great!! It's extremely nice. The staff was entirely accommodating, and even though my boyfriend and I showed up in t-shirt and jeans, they were more than happy to serve us and make sure everything was to our liking. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, polite, and accommodating, since I'm vegan and all, they made something special for me, that wasn't even close to anything on the menu. They get 5 stars for outstanding service, fantastic food, and a beautiful restaurant. This place is a bit pricey, but definitely worth the experience.
This old school (in the best possible way) Italian spot may be steeped in Italian-American classics, but they are also happy to think outside the box. Customer service is also top notch. I would like to see some simpler preparations in the entrees (big fan of grilled meats without heavy sauce), but it's all a matter of opinion. Highly recommended.
Went there twice. Did specials the first night including excellent Dover sole, all of which were outstanding. Had pasta the second night, meh. My rating is an average based on food, with a bump up for the great, attentive but unobtrusive, service.
An amazing place, the food is top notch and the staff is wonderful. The ambience is classy but cozy. The wine selection is sublime. Great place to bring a first date, have a family party or just hang at the bar and have a drink. This place is a gem
I took my parents from Europe there for a nice pre-Christmas dinner. The service was very professional, however, it seemed a little bit slow, but that could have been perception as I was starving. The food was handsdown the best Italian I've ever had. The price was ok, we paid a little over 200 bucks including dessert and a very good bottle of red wine. I can highly recommend this place and will return.
We had dinner there last night--- elegant "jewel box". Old world but not stuffy. It as an accidental find as we were otherwise headed up Second Ave to a different Italian restaurant. Food is wonderfully presented and excellent. The veal scallopine with sage and prosciutto on a bed of freshly wilted spinach is perfect. Pastas very well made. Lots of staff-- attentive but not overly so. Generous martini which is always a hallmark of a class act/not skimping-- but glasses of wine can be a bit pricey at $20+ -- no I did not ask the price-- but it was a decent Brunello so what did I expect. What's nice is that there are large mirrors on the wall so that "the other person" can watch the activity in the dining room as well. All in all-- this will be a place to which we will return and look for an excuse to go with friends. Really glad we stumbled upon it.
Just enjoyed one of the best meals since returning from France.
The Monk Fish was properly prepared and was elegantly accompanied by full carrot, string beans and potato. DeGrezia is always consistent in deliver of superior products and menu.
Having grown up in an Italian home, I am extremely picky with Italian food. It is virtually impossible for me to find a restaurant that serves Italian food better than I get at home; but let me tell you, DeGrezia has done it! The pear gorgonzola gnocchi is absolutely to die for! I could eat it every day of my life. I had it several months ago and still crave it regularly. Quiet, friendly environment with a family feel. Highly recommend
Ok...first, I searched for an Italian Restaurant in mid Manhattan before our trip and DeGrazia came up with several others. I read the reviews and thought that despite some of the few negative comments on the staff/service we’d give it a try. It was my wife and my 27 year wedding anniversary...so I needed this dinner to be special. AND IT WAS BEYOND THAT! Like others comments, the atmosphere was so quaint and charming...the food was so incredibly delicious and the service and staff hit it out of the park! My wife was almost moved to tears when she leaned over and grabbed my hand and whispered...YOU DID GOOD! Thanks DeGrazia owners and staff for making this one of the most special anniversaries we’ve ever had! God Bless all of you!
Amazing food. Took my girl here for Valentines dinner 2016, Manager(Sebastian) provided terrific service, recommended a special and I loved the dish. Definitely coming back.
Fantastic classic italian dishes (quite expensive, but worth every penny). Amazing and very attentive service. The place is great for a quiet romantic dinner.
The restaurant is in a nice, quaint street off the major avenue roads.
The food was decent. Mostly frequented by older professionals - maybe for that reason was a little on the high side for the ambience and service you were getting.
Great service, good food, but the place is too dark for me. Visual is part of the experience of eating Italian food. In other words, I need to see what I eat. Four stars.
I love it. It's my "go to" Italian place. Beautiful room, lighting, sound. Fair prices for great food, including the wine list.

It's weirdly good - the vibe is "upscale red-sauce", while the food is (mostly!) not red-sauce-y.
* The linguini alle vongole is *good*, with just the right level of sea-flavor.
* The branzino - about as hoary a trope as anything - is actually *good* here.
* There is a cinghiale (wile board) ragu on the menu, and it's as good as anything I've had in Liguria
And so on, and so forth. It's pricey, but if you can get past the initial vibe of the place, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how, well, *good* everything is...
