| - OK, already! After running across this restaurant several times in smartphone apps we decided to find Times Square and chow down on what was described as unbelievably good Italian food. Reviewers have got it right, this place is fantastic. Shea, our server was great and she knew the menu which is pretty extensive. Before I begin, be warned that the place gets crowded quickly around dinner time so an early arrival is suggested.
Now for the food. First, the anti pasta is wonderful. It has all the ingredients an anti pasta is supposed to have. Most Italian restaurants nowadays just put some iceberg lettuce, a sliced tomato and if you are lucky, a pepperoncini. Times Square's dressing with the anti pasta was just right, not overpowering the decilicious vegetables and meats. The meats, wrapped around cheese or olives, were delicious--you may read delicious once or twice in this review.
The entrees are varied, substantial and, again--delicious with a capital D. We both had pasta dishes and the sauces were thick and yummy. Bread was served with the main dish, my only suggestion would have been for the bread to have been served with the anti pasta. Could not eat all of the food so take-home boxes were gladly volunteered.
You will be slightly incredulous that this restaurant located where it is would be so great. It will be great. Times Square also serves breakfast, kind of unusual for an Italian eatery but no problem as far as I am concerned--keep serving incredible Italian meals and I am completely satisfied. (I hear the breakfasts are great by the way.)
All in all, we will be back and can't wait to do so. Thank God there are great places like Times Square to move the chain Italian restaurants aside.
