"Lodi, from restaurateur Ignacio Mattos (Estela, Altro Paradiso), was among the first high-profile openings at an overhauled Rockefeller Center. Go here for Italian-leaning breakfast, aperitivi, antipasti, pasta, and more." - Melissa McCart
"Lodi serves some of the most impressive Italian food within a few miles of Liz Lemon’s office. It just so happens to be located directly outside of Liz Lemon’s office. This place almost exclusively spotlights Italian ingredients, and a meal here pretty much always makes us wish we were OOO in Tuscany. You can get housemade ricotta, a whole host of salumi, and a plate of plump anchovies. We recommend grabbing a table on the large patio, where your neighbor's huge shopping bag from their trip to the Harry Potter flagship store won’t infringe on your personal space.

"This cafe in Rockefeller Center from the team behind Cafe Altro Paradiso and Estela feels sort of like an Au Bon Pain for the 1%—but it's one of our favorite daytime spots in the city, and it's perfect for any Midtown workers who have been begging the NYC gods for a place to eat dark chocolate croissants, soft boiled eggs, and frittatas made with mushrooms and taleggio." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
"This Rockefeller Center spot is the third restaurant from the team behind Estela and Altro Paradiso, and they serve traditional Italian fare in a setting that feels like Au Bon Pain for the 1% (with prices to match). They’ve got a great full-service patio, but people with Big Jobs can order soup, salad, and sandwiches from their grab-and-go setup in the front. The short takeaway menu rotates but always includes a favorite of ours: a porchetta panini that tastes like fennel pollen and fatty pork.
