Read More On Citysearch BroadwayBay 5/19/2010 - BEST FOOD NEAR GRAND CENTRALI have been eating at Gente regularly since I moved offices near Grand Central. I can honestly say this place has the best Italian food in the neighborhood - HANDS DOWN.
The price fixed lunch menu offers a wide variety of selections, but my favorite dish is definitely the unique Artichokes, which will keep you coming back for seconds!

Read More On Citysearch xhorge 8/17/2007 - Superb!Friends and I go here for lunch about once a month. We also go for dinner and business luncheons. Atmosphere, service, food and staff are fantastic. We are now friends with the staff which makes our experience even better. Brushetta is wonderful. The chicken piccata is in a light sauce with capers - fantastic. The Cosmopolitans are the best we've ever had. The atmosphere is romantic but is also...

Read More On Citysearch kasanova 9/26/2006 - won't be going there againI just got back from lunch with three other colleagues. We were seated promplty as well we should have been, being as the place was practically empty. After 45 minutes our lunch came out. Two tiny, dry foccasia (sp?) sandwiches, one pasta "special" and one risotto special. Mine was the risotto, and it was actually pretty good. The pasta was eaten with a scowl. The sandwiches were left behi...

Read More On Citysearch nyc_baby 5/24/2006 - User review by jillybean430I took friends from out of town here for a quick dinner on a Saturday night. There was a huge party there, but we still had great service. The food was good and cheap! If you don't want to break the bank, this is a good place to go and the menu has a lot of favorites.
Read More On Citysearch jillybean430 5/15/2006 - fast service, but not great food
ive been here a few times for lunch and the food isnt great. they used to have grilled panini for under $9 at lunch which was great considering that its a sitdown restaurant with service, but i didnt see those options when i came here this week. the other day, i had the grilled tuna (~$16) which came grey and well-done (though i asked for rare) atop a pile of tasteless carrots and with a side o...
Read More On Citysearch sortmon 5/2/2006 - Amazing PlaceThe food was cooked to perfection. The service was wonderful, and very personable. I was impressed with the amount of attention they gave us. I ordered a seafood pasta dish that was absolutely divine.
I highly recommend this place.

It was a calm place with some of the great desserts around. Try the orange sorbet. Take friends there. It's a terrific place for groups to talk and eat a tasty meal.
Read More On Citysearch jorgemontalvo 6/24/2005 - Enjoyable Italian FeastI was pleasantly surprised to find such authentic Italian fare outside of Little Italy. As a vegetarian, there were many different options to choose from although I would personally recommend the eggplant parm. Great place for a date or with a group of friends!
Read More On Citysearch christinewoolee 6/23/2005 - Great food & nice ambienceA group of freinds and I went to Gente and really enjoyed it. The service was good, the food was excellent, and the ambience was very nice. Its well suited for a romantic date, I think, but was also good fun with a group of friends. I highly recommend it if you like authentic Italian cuisine!
Read More On Citysearch gibbsl 6/23/2005 - Very blah.Went to Gente for dinner not too long ago. The decor was nice and comfortable. However, the food was decent but not worth talking about. My main problem with this place was the unprofessional service - a table of young women got the attention of the entire waitstaff while the rest of the restaurant was very painfully ignored.
Read More On Citysearch mypleasure 6/4/2005 - Highly RecommendedGENTE Ristorante Italiano is an incredible Discover. 11 Wines by the glass a varied Assortment of beers and fabulous cocktails (like green apple martinis). The food is very authentic (I have been to Italy many times with my family.) one o our group was born in Italy and he said the lasagna was almost as good as his mothers

Read More On Citysearch rosany 2/24/2005 - Great ItalianI recommend Gente to anyone looking for great pasta without breaking the bank. The staff is friendly and accomodating, and the desserts are very impressive. All in all, a great Italian experience.
Read More On Citysearch brbelardi 2/8/2005 - Perfect holiday party!Gente was the PERFECT place for our holiday office party. Jay (owner) is so easy to work with, completely flexible, and along with his staff can accomodate any of your needs. The intimate space is perfect for a private party because it enables you to have the whole restaurant to yourself. The food is great and the prices so reasonable...I can't imagine a better choice for a party!
Read More On Citysearch elsig215 12/16/2004 - An Amazing EveningMy friends and I take our moms out to dinner ever year for Christmas. This year we picked a Gente out of city search and just hoped for the best. It turned out to be our best outing ever. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices were cheap! The restaurant is cozy and great for group dinning!
I absolutely love this restaurant and will come back again and again!!!!
Read More On Citysearch dcarbone1006 12/8/2004 - One of the Best Values in NY!Gente is a rare find among NY restaurants. My wife and I had dinner there last week with two friends, simply because it was convenient to one of our workplaces. What a surprise! The food was among the best Italian any of us had ever had, with many unusual dishes. Be sure to try the Lugurian pasta and DO NOT MISS the Carciofi Judea, the absolute best version of this dish we have ever had. The pri...
Read More On Citysearch rcohen18 6/1/2004 - Great stop for dinnerMy husband and I were in New York for the weekend and we found this restaurant on citysearch. Being from Italy, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was very authentic. The appetizers were so good that we had 3 different ones followed by some nice home made pasta. The biscotti with the coffee were superb and the service was very good well.
Read More On Citysearch yukhahayuk 11/21/2003 - Perfect for little partiesI recently had a baby shower at this restaurant, and i can't tell you how many compliments i received regarding how quaint and casual the place was, the great food, and the great service. It was the perfect place to host a small group of 30 people or so. Jay and his crew are very accomodating. I would indeed host my next gathering there again.

Read More On Citysearch avein 2/4/2003 - Freshes food, with an amazing staffI have never ordered a bad item from this great little restaurant. The service is always great, and the owner walks around to make sure you enjoy. All I can say is they are fantastic.
Read More On Citysearch crystens 1/9/2003 - Great for PartiesI recently hosted a bridal shower at Paper Moon Milano Express. They did a great job setting up the room and serving great food and drinks. I let Jay pick the menu and he did an awesome job. The pasta was something I've never had before and it was outstanding! He also served great champagne with raspberries which was a big hit.
