Food and service were great! The eggplant was exceptional. The food was good enough for us to want to return.

OMG! Good thing we noticed that each dinner could feed 2-3 people! The food was served hot by a wonderful waiter who could not do enough for us. Next time I am in NYC, I will look forward to enjoying another dinner here!

Liked: Food was excellent.

This was our first time to Tony's Restaurant. I would go again and again and again - it was excellent. Dominic from Albania was our waiter - he was very nice, very pleasant, very courteous and kind. We were there for a 45th wedding anniversary and enjoyed our experience immensely.

Food was great. Didn't know that it was portions for two or three but it worked out fine.

We were happy with the food, although some was a bit under-seasoned. Would go back to this great location if we were in the area.

Liked: Very generous portions; great prices.
Disliked: A bit under-seasoned.

Liked: Great food and excellent service from our waiter Steven T.

It was our first time at the restaurant and definitely the right choice. Our server Ryan was most helpful with the menu choices. He was most attentive but not the hovering type. His suggestions were right on and of course the food was delicious. The dessert was unique with a hot sauce and served in a large martini glass. Di Napoli's will be our restaurant of choice when going to the theater.

Liked: Perfect location; fantastic menu; attentive service.
