Cute Italian restaurant, small open atmosphere. Restaurant was suggested by someone we met at a bar in Times Square...a resident on Madison Ave. It was a great suggestion. Had dinner and we enjoyed our food. I had the lasagne and a glass if wine. I really enjoyed the lasagne and my friend enjoyed her dish as well which was the pappadelle with lamb ragu. And the service was good as well. Glad we went.

Warm décor, delicious food, and fabulous staff. They were so sweet and promptly brought us our food. We ordered the fried calamari & zucchini chips to start, chicken parmesano, chicken meatball dish, and truffle mac and cheese. We finished with the tiramisu, Cioccolatissimo, and Crème Brûlée. It's rare to find a place where every dish is enjoyable. The Crème Brûlée was my favorite. It was so smooth! Best tiramisu I've had in quite some time. The flavors and textures were well balanced. This is one of those rare places where every dish was exceptional and we didn't experience a long wait for anything. We also weren't bombarded with plates and overlapping dishes/courses. Every course had impeccable timing and was the perfect temperature. For instance, we just finished the last chip in the starter and table was cleared for the sizzling mac and cheese that we heard making it's way from the kitchen. I appreciate the attention to detail. In other restaurants, I hate waiting too long because I feel like I'm going to be there all night and I can't stand being rushed so staff can flip the table. They made us feel welcome but it seems they understood that we don't live there lol. My favorite part is being allowed to rest our food after this culinary experience! It wasn't difficult to ask for the check and they brought us our bags the moment we stood up without us asking. Reminds me of the quality of service I grew up with experiencing on Mulberry street in the 90s. Comfortable, delicious, genuinely warm/welcoming, and easy going but attentive. I didn't think I'd encounter the quality of service we received in this place. Not that I doubted them specifically! Lol. It's just so rare to have a pleasant experience from beginning to end. The décor definitely adds to that 90s NYC vibe but it's part of its charm. So that's a plus, for me. Nostalgic but not completely outdated. The entire staff collaborated very well together to tend to every table. I was advised to reserve a table but I'm not sure we needed to because we dined early at 6pm. But the reservation didn't hurt. If you eat the way we did, be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you visit with a party of 4+ even if no one drinks. For the quality of food, I find it pretty affordable if your group just gets one dish each because times are hard. In this economy? Sometimes we have to make sacrifices lol. But if you can hack it, try as many dishes as you can possibly afford lol. Great wine selections, also! A huge thank you to the staff at Le Zie for making my mother's 69th birthday dinner a memorable one. I hope to be back soon for the Chicken Liver Pâté Crostini and Yellowfin Tuna Ravioli!

What a lovely place! We went here for lunch and enjoyed it. The food was delicious. We ordered the Prix Fixe Menu which was very reasonable and great value. I would definitely return.

Came here for dinner at 7:30pm on a Friday night and the restaurant was at capacity. You would most likely need a reservation here for peek dinner times. The food and wine selection were extensive and we liked the quality of the food. The restaurant was a bit on the louder side and the atmosphere wasn’t very intimate, which makes it better for group dinners and less so for date nights

Very disappointing dinner, the caesar salad very poor there were no ingredients described on the menu. Natural water tasted chlorine . The very poor appetizer. High prices for that they bring to the table. They automatically tipped 25% without asking .

Nice little restaurant in Chelsea. Food was delicious! Our server needed a little bit more training but the staff was nice and accommodating overall.

Great food and selections. Also, I really appreciate a large rock for my whiskey. I had spaghetti and meatballs which was great. My guest had Tuna Ravioli - he said it was great (he is from NYC btw).

We visited this cozy and quiet Italian restaurant for a weekend lunch. It’s the perfect place to have a conversation without the music or noise drowning out your voices. They were playing soothing Italian music in the background. As a complementary welcome dish, we were given sourdough with garlic confit and olives. We picked the three course prix fixe lunch menu - which is very reasonable priced for the location, portion sizes and quality of food. We tried the eggplant parmigiana and baked goat cheese for appetizers, spicy pasta and chicken paillard for main course, and tiramisu and tartufo for dessert. All the dishes were delicious and filled us up. If I could be nit-picky, the chicken was slightly rubbery/dry but did not stop me from savoring the course.
