    Food is mediocre, high priced and annoying service.

    Great place. Great food. Interesting crowd that seems to be a mix of regulars and non.

    The pear salad has returned! It’s one of my favorite dishes on the menu. The salmon and branzino are also very delicious. Pair any of these with “she bites” and you’re golden for rest of the evening!

    We went for brunch. The people who opted for food off of the lunch menu were very happy with their meals. The Italian twist on American breakfast standards was hit or miss. Avoid the cannoli pancakes.

    Sat outside and enjoyed the almost Parisian atmosphere on Lenox Avenue.

    Delightful waiter with a fabulous sense of humor made the meal. Food was solid, ambiance was lovely (we sat outside because there was a private party indoors, but the weather was fine, so it wasn't a problem). When we arrived for our 7:00 reservation, the proprietor told us we'd need to leave by 8 because of the private party. We explained that we would not have made the reservation if we'd known that, and he quickly adjusted to 8:30, which was fine. A nice evening.

    I make it a point of bringing all of my friends to Settepani at least once, especially those new to Harlem or new to NYC. The food is always excellent, as is the service. We were 5 min late for our reservation and the place was full -- which made me concerned. The Maitre d' assured me he would have a table for us inside when our guests arrived; he brought us a round of prosecco to keep us contented while we waited. I don't know the noise level because we were probably the loud guests. Even if the owner is not there, it's also a bit heartwarming to see their children -- present or even just passing through. It's a reminder of how important Settepani has been to the neighborhood over their lifetimes. Everything was excellent, as always. Cheers!
