Met a friend here for lunch yesterday. We had both never been here. She is a former New Yorker and heard thru the grapevine about Sabatino's. Our waiter was Ryan. He was so friendly. My friend boasted "I'm having the veal parm sandwich...let's see if this place is authentic!" I had the Caprese Salad and garlic bread. My friend was so happy! Sure enough...this is authentic New York.
