    We met with out of town guests who were staying nearby. It was a great choice. The service was friendly and attentive. All of our servers were cheerful and polite. The food was excellent as were the cocktails. We are so happy to have found this restaurant. Highly recommend.

    All was good but there were some loud little kids which made the experience less than optimal everything else was great!

    The restaurant is very cozy and the food and service were excellent. The Roasted Clam appetizer was perfect, crunchy crumbs on top and just cooked clams underneath. Our group had several of the main courses. The two we liked the best were the Duck Kofte Souvlaki Pita and the Cavatelli with Lamb Sausage, Pesto Rosso, and Pecorino Romano. We will go back.

    Quieter dining experience (which is hard to find in NY). Menu is seafood centric with Mediterrean influence. Service was good, overall entree prep and presentation was average. Price was appropriate. The restaurant adds an 18% automatic "admin fee" that also serves as a tip. You can add more if desired for service.

    Food was wonderful -- especially the feta with jalapenos and honey appetizer. The sesame bread came hot and was delicious. All of the pasta dishes are great. But our service was awful and we were very neglected. We were in the against the wall and couldn't even get our server to bring our water. Everyone around us seemed to be served pretty quickly but it took us several times to try to flag down our server.

    We tried Amali for pre-theater before a show at 59E59. It is perfect for that. Service was friendly and fast. We started with roast squash and little gem salad, both of which were good. Then grilled dorade and grilled salmon. The salmon was outstanding and the dorade also very good. Roast broccoli side dish was perfectly cooked. For wine we had a glass of tempranillo which was fairly priced and delicious. Amali adds 18% to the bill as a service charge, which is OK but should be explicitly called to the diner's attention, since the credit card slip then has a space to leave a tip. We supplemented the 18% fee with a small add-on, but many people may not realize this and inadvertently leave a double tip.

    This is such a good spot! Thoroughly obsessed with the Italian, Greek and other Mediterranean infusions into menu. Some classics with a unique spin. Can’t wait to be back, and one of the best espresso martinis of all time.

    I was so happy with the food and service. I have food allergies and they were so attentive and accommodating. It is such a lovely restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back.

    We enjoyed Amali’s Sunday brunch menu, especially the Spicy Feta and the Gem Salad. I wouldn’t personally recommend the Cavatelli Cacio e Pepe (too heavy for my taste). The service was highly professional.
