What to Eat at the San Gennaro Festival - Eater NY

"The are a half dozen stalls along the seven blocks of Mulberry Street attributed to Lucy Spata, who started out in 1971 selling zeppole, sausages, and other southern Italian and Sicilian fare. One of the best things to get is her humongous arancini: rice balls, stuffed with ground meat and cheese and deep fried." - Robert Sietsema

Great restaurant inside the Motto Hotel. The Hilton itself is a hidden gem—don’t skip it. The rooms are snug but modern and cozy, the views of downtown Manhattan are some of the best you’ll find. For the price, the views and now the food, it’s a definite yes for us. This was our second stay, but our first time dining here! It did not disappoint. The restaurant’s patio has a cute fun vibe that makes it even more enjoyable.

Sat at the bar and Andy helped me pick out my drink, entree, and dessert and he was spot on! It was all delicious! Andy was very friendly and kind and worked hard getting everyone served promptly with expertly made drinks!

Absolutely loved our experience here! The food and service were both top-notch. The honey hot pizza is a must-try—perfectly balanced flavors with just the right kick. Our food came out quickly, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were crafted beautifully and tasted just as good. We also ordered the seasoned fries and lamb ravioli—both were delicious and full of flavor. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and a great vibe!

My first time visiting here was amazing. The atmosphere was fantastic, and they have a great happy hour! Our host Alyssa was very friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Our server was Ashley and she was top notch! She made some amazing recommendations both with drinks and food which she nailed. We enjoyed everything we tried and next time we will save room for dessert. Also manager Megan checked on us and seemed to be doing the same with each table. We had a great experience and will certainly come visit again

During our stay at a hotel across the street, we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant, and it turned out to be an absolute highlight of our trip. Originally, we had planned to head to Little Italy, but after reading glowing reviews and noticing that this spot was conveniently located next door, we decided to give it a go—and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we were greeted, the experience was top-notch. We opted to sit outside, and our server, Carolina, was an absolute delight—attentive, warm, and incredibly helpful with her recommendations. Her knowledge of the menu made choosing dishes easy, and everything she suggested was spot on. The food was beyond our expectations. The hand-cut fettuccine, served with veal meatballs, was cooked to perfection—savory, tender, and full of flavor. The Agnolotti, filled with mascarpone, was a standout with its creamy, nutty filling. The Linguine Vongole was also a highlight—perfectly cooked al dente linguine tossed in a rich, briny white wine sauce, featuring plump, tender clams. It was light yet flavorful, with just the right amount of seasoning and a hint of garlic. A true seafood lover’s dream. We also tried the appetizer bites sampler, which was the perfect way to start the meal. It included a generous selection of all their appetizers, and it was more than enough to share around the table. Each bite was a delicious taste of what they have to offer, allowing everyone to try a bit of everything. To top off the evening, we were greeted by Megan, the manager, who was full of energy and just as friendly as Carolina. Together, they made our night unforgettable. Their warmth and enthusiasm really set the tone for an incredible dining experience. For dessert, we indulged in warm, freshly baked chocolate cookies paired with ice cream. The cookies were perfection—gooey and not overly sweet, just the right balance to end the night on a high note. We’ll absolutely be recommending this place to our friends and family visiting New York. It’s a must-try!

The restaurant was bustling, which likely caused the kitchen to be backed up—our dishes took about 40 minutes to arrive. The spicy pizza was a highlight, with a nicely crisp yet chewy crust, which added a delightful kick. The pasta dishes, however, were less impressive. By the time they reached our table, the two pasta dishes had clearly been sitting out on the counter for a while, as the pasta had clumped together into a solid mass, which was quite unpleasant. The linguine vongole, in particular, lacked a nice sauce, so it ate quite dry. Overall, the food was decent but left room for improvement.

Great pizza and appetizer boards. Happy hour also! Tons of seating outside to enjoy the summer weather. Staff were great and pasta was solid. I especially enjoyed the pizza.

Absolutely blown away by the service and hospitality! We’re staying at the Motto Hilton Hotel,NYC and decided to visit Lula Restaurant — and we ended up coming back twice in one day! That’s how amazing it was. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Special thanks to our wonderful server Emmy and the incredibly professional manager Alex — both of them went above and beyond to make us feel at home. What truly amazed us was that we came in quite late the second time, and even though the kitchen was already closed, the chef personally agreed to make us the same fantastic Bianca pizza we loved earlier. On top of that, he treated us to freshly baked focaccia and other little chef’s compliments — everything was just perfect. (Photos attached — it was all simply adorable!) As a restaurant owner myself, I know how much heart and effort it takes to deliver this level of care. Lula deserves 10 stars out of 5. Truly a hidden gem. Highly, highly recommend

So far, Lulla has been our favorite meal in the city during this trip. To start, we ordered the shared appetizer box which was a steal at $28 for the tail end of happy hour. It contained small portions of each of their appys - Focaccia, Giardiniera, Panzanella, olives, Crostini, spiced nuts, a meatball... and every single one of them knocked it out of the park! We also tried the Agnolotti. Hearty, cozy, bolognese with a hint of orange as well. Very good! The portion wasn't small or huge. Just right. We also ordered the broccoli rabe which was nicely done but more bitter than I'd expect. We enjoyed it but just know that it's not for everyone! Service was great. Ambience was perfection. My only complaint is that we had several fruit and house flies buzzing around us which always puts a damper on things, and my only suggestion would be is add a few more desserts to the menu. None of the three offered spoke to us. All in all, a fantastic meal and we'd absolutely return and enjoy it again!

Just had a lovely meal at Lulla. Delish food, and great ambiance, but be aware you are paying gor the seating and scenery, as the menu is in Manhattan prices in a hotel. Take for example the Hibachi crudo. Even though this is under the entrees section of the menu, it's really more of an appetizer. It only comes with the six slices of fish, so plan accordingly. We also had the Skirt steak, comes with a side of broccoli rabe and a scorched lemon. The steak, while cooked perfectly medium rare, lacked flavor. Barely any salt or pepper, would have done better if it was seasoned with a rub or accompanied by a sauce. The hand pulled fettuccine with veal meatballs was a hit. I usually don't gravitate towards veal, but these were juicy and tender. We even opted gor extra Meatballs, which were $3 a piece. We also had the Linguine and white wine clam sauce, and the Pasta Bolognese... both of which were decent. Good, but not memorable. I remember the clams being a bit sandy. While food was about a 4 star for taste, 4 for presentation, 3.5 star for flavor, service was about a 3.5, but location and atmosphere was a 5. Given that this was attached to a hotel/bar, we assumed that the dinner service was a little lacking due to the location in a hotel.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7 Decor: 8 Value: 5 Overall: 7 Tbh, I find this restaurant a bit expensive compared to what I would like to pay for similar food. But for some reason, I keep returning, so guess I really appreciate what they offer. Obviously, the nice ambiance really adds to the experience as well. I have been here for both breakfast and their all day menu. Most of the food has been quite solid. The chef has a knack for creating great flavors with fresh ingredients. I really have enjoyed my meals overall. On my first visit, I had the delicious Breakfast Sandwich, with fried egg, soppressata, mortadella, burrata and spinach. This may still be my favorite item from the restaurant. The Crispy Fingerling Potatoes were very flavorful too. Next go around, I was surprised how good the Lulla Burger was. The roasted tomato is really a nice addition, along with the sharp provolone and caramelized onions. I'm also thankful that they didn't use the typical burger sauce that's everywhere now. A simple bit of fresh aioli really gets the job done. The other two items I tasted were a mixed bag. Though the Crispy Artichoke Hearts were expensive, they were delicious. However, I was not a fan of their Panzanella Salad, partially because the croutons were soggy, stale, and not crispy. On my most recent meal, a group of us were able to try a few more items. As I have stated, prices seemed a bit high, but I really liked all the food. The Burrata was creamy, with an refreshing mint & pine nut pesto. The Eggplant Parmesan was unique and the Agnolotti was excellent too. I seriously enjoyed the Bronzino, but wish it was a whole fish instead of half. This time around, the Lulla Burger was slightly overcooked for my liking, but still enjoyable. After three wonderful experiences, I am confident in saying that I will be back for some current favorites and try some more new interesting dishes.

Did another stop over into Lulla for happy hour since the weather was beautiful. The happy hour is a great deal with $12 cocktails, $8 beers, and $10 wines. The box they have is filled with delicious goodies, my favorite being the meatball. And for $4 extra, you can refill any of the sections of the box if you really liked anything in particular. We also tried their freshly baked cookies with hazelnut ice cream. The cookies were so soft and gooey and the ice cream was delicious. The service was on point with our server (sorry forgot her name, but want to say it was Steph?) was so kind, constantly checking on us and making sure that our waters were refilled. Overall, a great space for happy hour, especially for the summer! Will be back!

Celebrated my cousin's birthday here this weekend. It was absolutely astonishing. How delicious and thoughtful each item was. We enjoyed a few things, including chicken, piccata, the steak, and their Apertivo box. It gave us all a chance to try new things that we've never had per se. The focaccia that came with it was amazing as well as the pickled veg And candied nuts. I'm not a big drinker, but I thoroughly enjoy their Spritz and the Bellini. They also have the best Negroni my family had ever tasted. We picked upstairs to take a look at the second floor, and they had a really gorgeous lounge area, seasonally opened and named the Limoncello Lounge. It was so pretty and spacious and of course temperature controlled for this city heat. All in all would go back for sure

Although Lulla is a hotel restaurant, the food was very top quality. I had the Linguine Vongole and it was a blend of perfect flavors. The clams were succulent, plentiful, and the shells were a perfect makeshift boat for the delicious sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly and was wonderfully garnished with delicious garlic crisps and just enough parsley for a perfect herbacious touch. I also took advantage of the restaurant coupon included with my room stay, so it was an incredible first meal while in Chelsea. Servers are nice and restaurant is very beautiful. Perfect place to start a trip, if you are feeling too tired to venture out!

Loved the fettuccine with veal meatballs! Two meatballs were perfect for me. The burrata was solid, and the focaccia (not pictured) was wonderfully crisp and flavorful

I only have been to Lulla once, but am rarely in the nabe, so am writing this review prematurely. I got the hand pulled fettuccine and added 2 veal meatballs. Great dish. Better by far than any pasta from Eataly, the fettuccine had a nice flavor on its own. It is cooked slightly al dente, which is perfect but if you don't like pasta with a slight chew ask for a longer cook time. The meatballs are tender with almost no filler. The tomato sauce and dollop of ricotta made it all come together. The outdoor space is charming and quite nice for that part of town. You do hear street noise. The service was excellent.

Great food, ambiance was nice too. We came here for breakfast with my family of 6(2 of which are kids). You must try their breakfast menu! The pancakes melts in your mouth, so delicious! Only giving 3 stars because the 2nd time we came here the waitress lied to us, she gave us "milk" for my children (1 yr old and 3yr old) even though our main waiter already told us that they do not have milk. That bothered me, I wanted to ask for a manager but I am a one tired mama. I respect the honesty of our waiter he was a young and reputable person. I hope he gets a raise her deserves.

Megan and Jordan went above and beyond for us - we absolutely always love bringing friends and having parties at Lulla due to the ambience, the food, but especially the service. It's always our go-to, and for great reason. Wonderful happy hour as well - perfect year round! We had a fun girls night planned and they were absolute cherries on top of a lovely evening!

Decent food, but not worth the price! Ambiance & Service: Modern, trendy spot in the Motto hotel lobby, but bugs affected our experience. Service was friendly and attentive. Food: - Aperitivo Box: Great for happy hour, feeds 3 with a variety of small bites. - Fries: Mid and forgettable--would skip. - Hand Cut Fettuccine: Delicious with perfect toasted breadcrumb texture. - Summer Lasagna: The standout! Fresh veggies and tasty sauce. TL;DR: Trendy spot with friendly service, but the food doesn't justify the price. Lasagne is the highlight.

Nice trendy spot that has a nice vibe on Friday nights. The menu is limited and based on the reviews, I decided to stick with something simple, which was the fries. Can't go wrong there, right? Again, nice spot, a little pricey but just will say I LOVED the drink that I ordered. I can't recall the name of it but it was top tier.

Amazing drinks and service! This place is located in the Motto hotel. The drinks are great and well made! We stayed there for work and we had an amazing time and drinks. Jordanis is amazing and he makes the best drinks! Make sure to ask him. The environment is chill and cute. We loved the decor, it's very Instagram worthy!

Lulla was a random Yelp suggestion and a decent restaurant. Located in the lobby of a hotel and was dimly lit for atmosphere but mostly just made the place feel dark. We ordered an eggplant parmesan, the vodka pasta, and a burger. - The eggplant parmesan was nothing to write home about, very standard and tasty. - The pasta's sauce was very flavorful but the pasta itself seemed like it could've been cooked a bit longer it was not quite al dente. - The burger was also pretty standard, the grilled onions were good.

Went here following a hair appt in the area and was attracted to going because of the outdoor seating and being with my dog, but was told the hotel is dog friendly overall. They do an apertivo deal which you will not beat. Staff was so friendly and when a downpour came out of nowhere they invited to hang out in the lounge on the 2nd floor to wait it out and offered drink service there. They also do a Sunday supper meal which I want to try. Can't wait to go back!

Came here on a Friday night and the outside was fairly packed. The inside of the restaurant has a modern deco appearance with cool velvet couches. Appetizer: $16 eggplant parm. It was an interesting twist on eggplant parm, the topping on top was a mix of cilantro, garlic, as well as other ingredients. Not what you expect on eggplant parm, wish they had written that on the menu. Entrees: Spicy lamb ragu: the pasta in this is homemade and it tastes homemade. The mint in this is overpowering. I get that lamb is paired with mint, but in this case it is just too much. Basil would have been better. For $28, the lamb in the dish was minuscule and I had to spit out a few pieces because of the chewy fatty pieces. Hand cut fettuccine: pasta was similar to the spicy ragu. It was a $26 dish and you can add a protein. They don't write on the menu how much the addition of protein is. But we added the breaded chicken. The chicken was crunchy, but could have used a few less minutes cooking since it was a bit tough. I'm assuming the addition of breaded chicken was $13 since there was no breakdown on the bill, making the dish $38. Dessert: again not listed on the menu but they have 3 options, we got the chocolate chip cookies with hazelnut gelato. Warm and gooey cookies. Service: our waitress was great, she checked on us frequently and had recommendations. The food came out in a reasonable fashion. We also ate early for a Friday. I think some more transparency in their menu would go a long way. Overall, it was a good experience but in a city filled with so many options, I think this is a one time experience.

My friend and I stopped by for dinner, and overall, I found it underwhelming. On the positives: the atmosphere was very nice and welcoming, which makes sense given that it is connected to a hotel. And the focaccia we got to share was delicious. The bread had a nice texture and a good crust, and the accompanying sauces were delicious. However, the dish I got - linguine vongole - was disappointing. The sauce was kind of bland and not as creamy as I'd like, and the clams were fairly small. Additionally, while our server was friendly, we waited a very long time for our food and to get the check. All in all, it could've been just a busy day for the restaurant, and maybe other dishes are better. But I don't think I'll be stopping by again any time soon.

We have been coming here for years since we stay at Motto almost every time we visit NYC, which is at least three times a year. I have consistently ordered their Tre Uova and I am obsessed with their citrus vinaigrette. Unfortunately, our recent visit was disappointing. My scrambled eggs were not fully cooked as I requested, and the focaccia was stale. Our server was somewhat friendly, but we were surprised to see an 18% gratuity service charge automatically added for our party of 3, something that has never happened to us before. We didn't say anything because we were planning to tip anyway, but we probably would have left a better tip had it not been added upfront. Overall, this visit wasn't as enjoyable as past experiences. Very disappointed.

Before stopping by Lulla, if I'd known what I know now, I'm not sure I'd ever have given it a chance. I'd been lured to the 1-year-old restaurant by cursory glances at its Yelp page and website, and in my haste, I completely overlooked a big red flag: Lulla is inside a Hilton. That probably sounds really pretentious, but don't get me wrong: I'm a fan of Hilton for business travel (I even have the Hilton Honors app), and I can't remember ever having a bad meal at any of its properties. But I also can't remember anything about any of the meals I've had at its properties -- they've all been simply satisfactory, lacking anything distinctively good or bad to leave a lasting memory. And I could say the same thing about restaurants at Hilton's fellow mid-priced hotel chains. The dining options at those chains have come a long way since the days when it was still considered a big selling point to offer complimentary continental breakfasts, aka toast and honeydew melon and maybe some scrambled eggs or bacon strips that had spent more time under heat lamps than Tan Mom. Those improvements, however, have only occurred after decades of mediocrity, and reputations for dismal dining don't disappear overnight. That's why I still can't imagine going out for dinner at a Hilton or comparable hotels, even though I've gone to great lengths to score restaurant reservations at many boutique and luxury lodges around Manhattan, e.g., Koloman at the Ace Hotel or The Bazaar at the Ritz-Carlton. But as I said, I was blissfully ignorant until I arrived at Lulla. Upon my arrival, when I realized Lulla was inside a Hilton "micro-hotel" called Motto, I did pause and hesitate, but I decided to forge ahead, partly because of Lulla's comfortable vibe -- it's got a spacious bar/lounge that opens up to a big patio, and it feels like an oasis in a busy Manhattan neighborhood that's sort of a no-man's-land, not quite Flatiron or Chelsea or NoMad or anywhere else. (I used to work in this neighborhood and was endlessly fascinated by its high-low juxtaposition of grand, historically significant buildings occupied by places like Old Navy and Marshalls.) Anyway, aside from Lulla's pleasant ambiance, I was also compelled to continue because of the main reason I came in the first place: the "aperitivo box," basically an antipasti bento box that's less adorable than its Japanese counterpart but certainly no less appetizing. From 3pm-7pm, the box is $26, a $12 discount off the usual price. It serves two, and everything inside is so delicious that you'd be fighting for the last bites with your fellow box-enjoyer -- but only if the portions were small, and happily, they're quite generous. The box is customizable to some extent, e.g., they let me swap out the nduja crostini and pork meatballs for extra focaccia and roasted fingerlings. And for people like my wife and me -- those with fairly light appetites and a fondness for variety -- it's a complete and compelling meal. Even the simplest-sounding items in the box, such as giardiniera and olives, were elevated with abundant herbs (both dried and fresh), bold acidity from citrus and vinegar, and a spicy kick that'll impress lovers of heat (such as yours truly) and probably be a bit too bold for others (such as my wife). I also came away surprised by the execution on the aforementioned fingerlings, which were craggy and crisp without being dried out, and the panzanella salad, which had chubby little orbs of mozz and croutons that somehow stayed crisp for a couple of hours after being bathed in a punchy vinaigrette. Similarly, a slice of ciabatta remained fresh and crisp long after it'd been generously smeared with ricotta (which, speaking of spicy kicks, had been sprinkled with vibrantly red Aleppo pepper). Ultimately, I can't quite say that I'm ready to plan a date night at this Hilton restaurant. But I can say I'd definitely return for the aperitivo box, and maybe even for a work gathering, and that thanks to Lulla, the idea of a Hilton restaurant suddenly seems very different to me.

Great spot for a happy hour! They also have a huge outdoor patio space so it's great for a big group of people as well. My group and I ordered a bunch of spritz's and a Bellini which were amazing. I also ordered a margarita off the regular drink menu but it came in a Bellini glass so it felt a bit on the stronger side so I would stick to their happy hour menu for next time. The shareables were also so fun we got a huge order of fries with seasoning and they were delicious, along with the shareable appetizer board which not only tasted great but it was so presentable as well. Definitely check out Lulla!

LOVED this place!! First and foremost they have TONS of vegetarian options on their menu which I really appreciated. All the options looked amazing but my friend and I both got the Honeynut Lasagna and it was phenomenal. They also have a daily happy hour from like 4-7pm and we got the $12 spritzes which were also really delicious. The vibes were also amazing. The restaurant is really cute and they also had live music playing which just added to the fun! The server we had was really nice and we had such a nice time.

Fantastic hotel bar/restaurant with lots of different seating types. Beautifully decorated and the bar was stunning. There was live music when we went that was very lively. The pastas were delicious, I really like the lamb pasta I had. It was a bit pricer but such a fun spot. Service was great as well!

Came here once and fell in love with everything - the service, the food and the ambience. Got the fries and the arugula salad along with a few pasta dishes. They were done really well and I'd say reasonable in price for what it is. The service is what really shines as they are attentive but not overly so, they make your feel welcome and invited. This has become one of my go to spots.

I visited this establishment in December after a nearby place botched our dinner reservation. This is in the lobby of a hotel which was a little weird when someone stepped out of the elevator and unpacked their suitcase on the floor in the middle of the restaurant while a live band was playing in the dimly lit dining room. They did a good job of making it feel a little nicer than a hotel lobby but its not remotely private and seats are spread around the lobby with both the check in desk and elevators regularly distracting conversations at the table. The handmade pasta, focaccia, and other items were all so good that we easily looked past the less than stellar layout. It was my dining partner's birthday and they brought us the most delicious tiramisu. It was so good we crowned it the best of the three different tiramisus we ate that week! (The tiramisu and pasta are Leaps and bounds better than nearby Eataly!)

The service was excellent. Servers and staff were nice and accommodating. Next time we'll try food, but the food I saw in the group next to us was elaborate and looked super good. Ambiance 10/10. Upscale hotel vibe but fun and stylized. The director, Alex was awesome.

Landed at Motto, the hotel Lulla is in, for a work trip after a long cross country flight. Made it down to the bar in time for happy hour and perfect patio weather. Jordanis at the bar welcomed me with a perfectly chilled glass of Sauvy B. Great conversation and quick service...Good to be back in the City!

Good but not great food. Ambiance is lovely, especially the outdoor patio area. Service is very friendly though the bartender was pretty slow (and the restaurant was not even half full). My glass of wine (ordered before the food) came after the food. My ravioli was good, the mussels were only okay. The red sauce overwhelmed the delicate mussels. My sister's pancakes were good but she said they didn't have enough syrup. And the side of fruit was okay but not great, and the sunny side up eggs weren't seasoned at all.

it's in the lobby of a hotel. we went during brunch hours and the pancakes were decent. my friend got the pasta and really loved it. it's definitely a solid spot for a bite if you're in the area.

Excellent happy hour spot! I came with two friends and we shared the apertivo box with cocktails and followed with pastas and salads to share. The box was so much fun - little bites of everything and a great deal at $26 for HH. Pastas and salads were well cooked and flavorful. I thought for the prices everything had a good value. The only weird thing about this spot is that you have to go through the lobby of the hotel and it does ruin a bit of the ambiance with people coming and going. Otherwise I think the space is well decorated and I would definitely return for happy hour!

Great restaurant. Very friendly service. Great service. Special thanks to our waitress Caroline for the festive evening. Everything is very tasty and beautifully prepared, although, of course, there is no arguing about tastes and sometimes you may like Italian food less than American... But we liked everything! And wonderful live music, and a magnificent interior, and an excellent location of the restaurant. Prices are moderate. I recommend it 100%.

Beautiful restaurant and lovely service. Came for an early dinner with two others and were sat right away. The service was off to a slow start as drinks took a long time to arrive. Thankfully it did pickup after the first round. Started with the Aperitivo Bites sampler box (not sure if that's on the menu) which had a bit of all the apps so you got to try everything. Everything was great, and it was a great way to sample multiple things. Prime meal I had the Skirt Steak which was cooked perfectly and didn't need any additional modifications. Dessert was the Pana Cotta which was good, not too sweet. I'd go back to try other items on the menu.

What a treat: right in the lobby of our hotel in Chelsea, Lulla showed us Italian comfort food and top notch hospitality. It was (poetically) the burrata's first night paired with summer heirloom tomatoes and a ton of herbs. House made focaccia with a tidal wave of butter and dipping spices: we took this down fast. My fave pasta was the unapologetically spicy lamb ragu. But the agnolotti pillows of whipped cheese in an excellent Bolognese were a close second. Brian really liked the fettuccini in vodka sauce too. They have a great martini and Sangiovese by the glass and while we were way too stuffed for dessert, the F&B director Alex has given us strict instructions to try the chocolate chip cookie!

I love their outdoor space. Came here for dinner and there was a live jazz band playing. I ordered Bolognese and it was delish!! Would go back again.

Went there few days after christmas, they still had the beautiful christmas trees and. decorations at the entrance. The interior decor was simple and nice ambiance. The food was good but service was a bit slow.

Another outstanding happy hour with a box for 2 at $26. The space reminds me of Jonathan Benny's restaurant at the Evelyn hotel. The happy hour box comes with eight items and added on the marinated mushrooms for $4. Much more to explore on this menu.

Had dinner (asparagus salad and ravioli) with a group of 8 on Friday night. The food was good looking, but unappetizing, too rich and under spiced. The service was lackluster, probably because there is 20% automatic gratuity for large parties. Our server only stopped by a total of two times over the whole night, and it was very difficult to get the attention of any of the other wait staff.

Jordan was amazing and will take care of you! Go see him and have a great time. Drinks are great, food is hot and vibes are chill.

Super cute restaurant inside of a Hilton hotel. Huge outdoor patio area is great for large groups. Be sure to try the homemade pasta when you're here. They don't rush your group and allow for a leisurely brunch. Would come back with a large group again.

Beautiful hotel restaurant with ample outdoor space. The Spicy Lamb Ragu had amazing flavors. The shredded lamb was tender, and the pappardelle was al dente. I enjoyed the hint of mint - wasn't in every bite, just here and there. My friend's Skirt Steak had strong scallion aroma and taste, which I enjoyed since I love scallion. It was a tad overcooked than medium, but still delicious.

I celebrated my engagement here a few days ago and we truly had the best experience here. There was about 12 of us and we had our table upstairs, next to the window with a beautiful view and there was couches behind us. Just a beautiful and comfortable setup. The service was amazing as well as the food. I felt like family style was the best decision for such a large group as everyone can just pass food around. And that's exactly what happened. The waiter knew it was a special occasion and kept sending us out goodies and pampering us. I'll forever be grateful for the hospitality. I will most certainly coming back in the near future. I cannot thank this place enough for allowing us to celebrate such a special moment there. Thank you!!!

Tucked inside the Motto by Hilton, the restaurant has amazing French fries and a different but delicious take on eggplant parmigiana. The service for dinner and breakfast has been excellent and tasty. For breakfast their omelette and yogurt w granola helped to start the day. All topped off with delicious coffee. The servers were all friendly, efficient and helpful.

Instagrammable brunch spot. The focaccia and fries were good and decently sized. The overnights oats were good as well. The breakfast sandwich was tasty but came with no sides - disappointing given the price. The pancakes were also tasty but came with no sides. Overall good but a bit pricey for what it is.
