    Love me some Bad Roman. Our service was terrific. My cousin and I hadn’t seen each other in years/ our server made no attempt to hurry us along. He was attentive but not intrusive. Food is delicious- creative. Nice wine selection.

    Phenomenal experience. The staff was so courteous and attentive, and were very kind in managing our requests. The ambiance was superb of course, the historical Plaza Hotel speaks for itself. The tea was delicious and the menu was filled with interesting and delicatessen items (food you won't likely find in other places). We were also pleasantly full despite the seemingly small samplers. Definitely a special experience. Also the decor for the holiday season is beautiful in an elegant want. Highly recommend seeing it for yourself.

    My friend and I chose Becco for our pre-theatre celebration of my milestone birthday. The servers could not have been nicer or more attentive. We each chose their special of ceasar salad or antipasto and entree of 3 different pastas. The food was delicious and plentiful. We couldn’t even finish it. We topped other off with the tri-flavor sorbet dessert in which they put a candle and sang happy birthday to me. It was a very special dining experience.
