Best Sunday Lunch Restaurants in Fordham

I have been a patron of Limani in Long Island. During the pandemic, everything was impeccable. After the pandemic, when they removed the glass separations for each table, we found the noise level complex, and we will not go there on the weekends. This is the second time I have dined at the Manhattan location. As cited in my review, the food and service were excellent, although I needed a better explanation of what I ordered. In addition, I found that they were too fast to clean the tables and we were not even finished. It was like they were rushing us out. The drinks could have been more potent. However, again, I found it to be cold and drafty. I had to eat wearing my coat.

Everything form service to food was excellent. My only complaint was the portion size of the side dishes seemed small for this level and price point of a steak house.

4th time back. Return with every trip to NYC. Food still excellent. Zucchini fries a great sharing appetizer. Bolognese is decadently rich. Service is prompt. We usually go on a weekday. This time was on a Sunday so place was packed with customers bumping my chair every 5 minutes. In the past we have always sat in the back where it’s a bit quieter and not so cramped. Regardless, will be back again but will schedule for midweek.

Pretty place, and obviously popular. Noise level is awful, even in the garden. I was disappointed in the food, as the place was recommended for the food. The French Toast was dry, and not soaked enough or just not enough egg. The omelette was average. It took a long time to get our starter coffees, and at that time the were not full. Later, it became very bus and I know it was harder for the staff.

We love the food and the service at San Matteo. Carmela is so friendly and attentive it feels like dining at a friend’s house.
