   Honestly….Surprisingly amazingly food! I say “surprisingly” bc it turned out to be a small gem of a place that I’ve passed so many times on the corner of 39th and Lex and always wanted to try it but never did until recently! It has great pasta choices and choices for anybody who doesn’t want pasta. Must mention…the brisket lasagna was off the hook! The calamari fritti was so tender and delicious and the Chianti (Giuliano Rosati) was delicious. I want to bring my immediate family of seven next time. I highly recommend!!!!!!

   We came to the House of Lasagna on a frigid evening and entered a warm and inviting dining room. Service was attentive and our dinner was delicious. We enjoyed a bottle of the Super Tuscan and the Piedmontes lasagne. We will happily return in the future!

   We had an 8:30pm reservation and when we arrived we were immediately seated by a pleasant hostess. From then everything was rushed. The waiter took our order without writing it down. I asked can you remember all that and he just stared at me for a split second without a response. Sure enough he returned to go over the order again. To rushed to write it down. Nothing major just ambivalence but 18% gratuity included without a mention which usually is standard with parties of 6. We were last to leave and no acknowledgment or goodnight. Bad training and poor management

   House of Lasagna was amazing! I had the Lazy Lasagna, and my girlfriend tried the Duck Lasagna—both were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and unforgettable. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect date night spot. We’ll definitely be back!

   As far as lasagna goes, it’s hard to recommend their lasagna dishes, we had two different ones (traditional bolognaise and a chicken one) and both were quite plain and tasteless, no seasoning and next to no garlic and herbs. My wife even commented on how plain the bolognaise was and it lacked seasoning, and she loves plain with a little seasoning, so that’s saying something. To be honest it has to be one of the worst lasagna I’ve ever eaten. I’m from Australia, a little unknown town to many in Oz , Ingham in North Queensland, which the population consists of about 80% Italian/Sicilian so for 54 years of my life, I’ve eaten and made more lasagnas than I care to remember. We enjoyed a lovely bolognaise lasagna at a small Italian restaurant in Santa Monica (Bruno’s) last week compared to these 2 dishes. The Italian bread and butter dessert was not so great either, quite dry. The staff were quite friendly and service was very good, just a pitty we didn’t enjoy the lasagna’s, I don’t think I’d give them a second chance as there are so many Italian restaurants to choose from in NYC, I would strongly suggest try others.

   Hi David-I think both of us-having grown up among Southern Italians and Sicilians-have an appreciation of the amazing ingredients in their toolbox: ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, spicy fennel sausage, etc. Alas, as good as they are when properly combined and prepared, none of these ingredients belong in an authentic Lasagna Bolognese. This dish, from the City of Bologna achieves its greatness from the sublime & subtle layering of the rich Bolognese meat sauce, silky bechamel sauce & delicate pasta sheets. Given your preference for Southern dishes, our Sausage & Pepper Lasagna with Red, Green and Yellow Peppers, Sweet & Spicy Sausages, Ricotta, hand-shredded Fresh Mozzarella with our Garlicky Marinara would be right up your alley!

   Had an 8:30pm reservation on NYE 2025 & we were greeted by friendly staff who sat me and my partner upstairs in a quiet little space for two which was so cute and comfortable. The staff was very attentive and our food and drinks were served with little wait time. The Old Fashioned cocktails were great. For an appetizer we ordered the fried mozzarella which was delicious and the breading was light and perfectly cooked. For our main course, we ordered the Lamb Lasagna & Short Rib Ravioli. Both dishes tasted so fresh and full of flavor. I felt like I was eating food prepared by a grandmother who cooks with lots of love. I’m from CA, but I now have a new favorite restaurant whenever I come back to NYC! Thank you House of Lasagna staff for making our NYE dinner a fun and special experience. I would definitely recommend others to visit this cute and quaint restaurant!
