Even 20 years later, dinner here doesn’t disappoint. The food is as good as it’s ever been. The gnocchi is a must - even to share. The staff was attentive and made us feel great. This is still my favorite Italian in the UES

Food here is amazing and a true UES staple. It’s in a perfect location and the staff will always make you feel welcome. The quality of the food is spectacular. Sette Mezzo is one of the only restaurants in the city that is consistently delicious while offering great service. My favorite dishes are the linguini and clams (as seen in picture), the ravioli, and the risotto. Daily specials here are also available. My favorite desserts here are the cheesecake and the tartufo! You won’t regret coming here. You will only regret not coming in sooner!
