As a visitor from London we needed somewhere to have a Christmas Day lunch. This one happened to be open when I was looking about a month ago from the UK and we have a fairly local Eataly in London. This was great, with a fun atmosphere. Just a bit pricey but I've found that in NYC generally. I would visit again. The panetone was fab

I don’t recall his name but our server was outstanding! Pleasant, fun, and helpful. The family talked about what a great vibe he brought to dinner! We go as a family every time we go to NYC (our third trip) and food is always delicious, with PLENTY to go around. Also appreciated the water pitcher on the table. As a large family (table of 9), it’s so much easier to keep the water glasses full ourselves. Thanks again!!
