We ate on a Monday evening and the weather was perfect to be able to sit outside. Don't get me wrong, the staff were very helpful and pleasant. However, they attempted to serve 3 other tables mains to us before we received our ordered food. Clearly, it had been sitting for a while as it was far from hot but... More

This is a great place to visit and grab a bite to eat. There are at least 4 different eating areas plus any type of Italian grocery items for sale. I was too full to try the gelato or chocolates! The atmosphere is wonderful. I would recommend a visit!

Have you ever departed and thought..."was the chef ill" Well if that is the case then you can benefit from this review. Every course brought utter amazement as you will read great reviews so here goes Course 1 Pasta, came out ice cold, and no sauce. My gut is that it was reheated pasta and the chef just forgot to...

I'm not a sophisticated foodie, but I know good food when I taste it. I enjoyed sitting outside on a beautiful evening and visiting with my son. The evening was a success but not because of the food. I started with a simple salad of arugala that had a very stong lemony dressing that was just too bitter. My pasta... More

Since its opening I've been to A Voce many times - the Madison ave location as well as the Columbus circle/time Warner location. The food is outstanding. Service is good as well. The Madison Avenue location does draw business groups not only at lunch but at dinner. Columbus circle location has views of the park. Decor leans toward modern. There... More

Just dined at the Madison Avenue A Voce this evening. Very pleasant outdoor table setting on a side street in the 20's, lots of patrons and attentive staff. Very few patrons were seated inside, but the restaurant looked quite stylish. My daughter and I each had an appetizer, her broccoli rabe was so lemony that we couldn't eat it. I... More

Had a businessperson's lunch here and picked the joint chiefly because it was across the street from the client. But the food is delicious - real Italian pasta and service is just so. Agnollotti are just so. Would be a nice spot to sit outside, too, when weather permits. I should mention that lunch for two, while top of the... More

Had dinner here during a trip to NYC with family. Food was very good. Ambience was nothing special. Nice views of Central Park.

I have a real fondness for Italian food, and this upscale Manhattan restaurant is excellent in all respects. The service is attentive w/o being intrusive and very responsive to each and every request. We enjoyed a number of delicious pasta entrees, but the highlight was the roast suckling pig. Tender, delicious and served nicely.

We made reservations as it was our anniversary and were given an excellent table. We did come early though (for dinner) as we had symphony tickets. The food was very good and we were not disappointed, the wine list was decent but the cocktails were very nice. At the start of the meal we had attentive and courteous waitstaff but... More
