"Upper West Side Italian restaurant Cesca was issued an eviction notice by its landlord, who is also seeking $152,069.62 in back payments. The restaurant appears to have been 'cleared out' a few months ago." - Luke Fortney

Excellent dinner. Very good service. Excellent and patient reservation staff. Would definitely return. Great Pork chops (porterhouse) and Duck. Octopus salad (starter) was excellent

The service and food was excellent! The pork chop is huge and cooked to perfection. Chocolate Mousse Cake was excellent. First visit 1/20/20.

I was very impressed with 'Cesca! I chose from the preset theater menu and everything was absolutely delicious. So delicious, in fact, that my main complaint is that the portion size was too small. I didn't want the meal to end! For an appetizer I got the caprese salad which had ridiculously good burrata. My entree was spinach ravioli which unfortunately only consisted of about 6 ravioli but they were just SO good. I'm an Italian guy from New York... I eat a lot! Consider doubling the portion size, guys ;). But for what they were, the ravioli were fantastic and satisfying. For dessert I got the panna cotta which, as you could imagine, was also fantastic. However, the thing I was most impressed with was our waiter, Brian. Brian was fast, accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu and just an overall nice guy. His service didn't feel forced or fake. It was genuine and professional. I also saw him dealing with a vegan customer who had automatically assumed the menu included a vegan option, which it didn't. He handled the situation so professionally and went directly to the chef to see what they could make for her. He did all of this as the restaurant began to fill up and become pretty busy. Overall I cannot recommend this place any more highly. The atmosphere is cozy and classy, staff was great and I left a very, very happy customer. Thank you!

My hubby and I went for a 3 course dinner and the food was on point, as well as the impeccable service. We got a bottle of wine, artichokes to start, seafood platter, bucatini, and cannolis for dessert. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and really romantic setting.

meh... sat at the bar and barely got any service... food was ok (should have had the Sunday lobster spacial). had the artichokes and the steak and a little carafe of wine... the first was good (antipasto quality artichokes), the second was way over cooked and was sent back (the second time around was not as overcooked but still... and got the cold fries from the first time), the wine nice (except too warm... room temperature=cellar temperature, not the temperature of the bar area). will I go back...? maybe for the sunday special... but definitely not sitting at the bar.

Stopped in on Father's Day on a whim for brunch. Beautiful interior design, very friendly and helpful staff. Nice range of items on the menu (I had a 3 egg omelette with 4 items inside, wife had something totally not on the menu: scrambled eggs with 3 items added, and our some had the salmon benedict). All items were very tasty, but nothing "out if this world". Good value for the prices. We looked at the dinner menu to see if it is worth coming back, and we all agreed that we would have to make a return trip to the Upper West Side location. I'll write about that when we do! The decor of the place was nice and 'clean' (not over done, gentle soothing colors and items, and the background music was just that: background!

The duck was spectacular...the best I've had on multiple continents. Everything was cooked perfectly and served artistically. Prices were normal for the level of quality and location.
