Excellent local place on 8th. Very good NY Italian cooking in a lively, family friendly spot. The lamb ragu was excellent, roast chicken perfect, and dessert just right. Staff were all efficient, cheerful, and professional. Great fun. Seemed like a neighborhood crowd, not pretentious at all.

Amazing food. Best spaghetti and meatballs in Manhattan was what caught my eye, and heck yeah it didn't disappoint. Pasta was fresh and handmade, cooked perfectly. Wine was great, atmosphere was fun but still cozy. Highly recommend.

We had dinner at Le Zie while visiting New York and cannot say enough about the service, food, or ambiance. I called ahead to find out if a menu item would work for our picky eater and the woman who answered the phone went to the kitchen to ensure that her answer was correct. When we walked in, the space felt intimate and welcoming and then … just kept going. We were seated on the third floor but the service was still superb. Our server was friendly and accommodating, the food and wine were delicious, and there was a staff member posted nearby to ensure that our water glasses stayed full and that we had everything we needed. The roasted half chicken (which does include a breast, if you’re wondering) was tender and well seasoned, as were the chicken piccata and braised short ribs. If you are in Chelsea and looking for a luscious Italian meal look no further.

Lunch Prix fixe menu is an insane deal. Amazing food. Eggplant parm and calamari with fried zucchini are particularly amazing. About $50 for three courses and wine will leave you incredibly satisfied

We were here on vacation trip and were looking for an Italian style restaurant. We found this one on the advice of a different waiter we talked to. We ordered our food and it came out quickly. The food was good and had a good taste. I ordered the chicken parmigiana. The service was excellent. If you are in New York City I highly recommend this restaurant. The reason I gave only 4 stars on the atmosphere is the lighting was a little to dim for my liking. All in all it was a good meal.

Visiting from Texas and had dinner here with a friend. All staff I came in contact with (host, bus boy, cook, waitress) were attentive and helpful. Had the scallop dish and meatball appetizer. Good dinner!

A perfect cozy neighborhood spot. Huge menu with something for everyone, with great portions and reasonable prices. Gives vibes of more old school new york. Specials menu adds a little variety - we tried the duck ravioli and it was a lovely addition!

Good Italian places like this are distinguished by the high quality of their tomato sauces and pasta. The dishes here were fragrant and herby, the sauce fresh and full of natural flavour, and the pasta had perfect texture. For our lunch for two, the quiet restaurant atmosphere was ideal for conversations while we nibbled on the complimentary bread, olives garlic, and olive oil dip. We enjoyed some Aperol and Campari drink mixes before our orders arrived. We recommend the two course set menu as it was great value for money. For starters, both the Eggplant Parmigiana and Baked Goat Cheese were memorable for the fresh fragrant tomato taste and different cheeses. For mains, the Rigatoni was deliciously put together and the Branzino (fish) was tender in the fillet and crispy on the skin. If you are in the Chelsea neighbourhood and after something a bit nice but in a comfortable and casual setting, this is the place for you.

Delicious food, like Italian grandma home atmosphere! Very important to reserve at least one day in advance, or you wasn’t be able to visit!

Warm décor, delicious food, and fabulous staff. They were so sweet and promptly brought us our food. We ordered the fried calamari & zucchini chips to start, chicken parmesano, chicken meatball dish, and truffle mac and cheese. We finished with the tiramisu, Cioccolatissimo, and Crème Brûlée. It's rare to find a place where every dish is enjoyable. The Crème Brûlée was my favorite. It was so smooth! Best tiramisu I've had in quite some time. The flavors and textures were well balanced. This is one of those rare places where every dish was exceptional and we didn't experience a long wait for anything. We also weren't bombarded with plates and overlapping dishes/courses. Every course had impeccable timing and was the perfect temperature. For instance, we just finished the last chip in the starter and table was cleared for the sizzling mac and cheese that we heard making it's way from the kitchen. I appreciate the attention to detail. In other restaurants, I hate waiting too long because I feel like I'm going to be there all night and I can't stand being rushed so staff can flip the table. They made us feel welcome but it seems they understood that we don't live there lol. My favorite part is being allowed to rest our food after this culinary experience! It wasn't difficult to ask for the check and they brought us our bags the moment we stood up without us asking. Reminds me of the quality of service I grew up with experiencing on Mulberry street in the 90s. Comfortable, delicious, genuinely warm/welcoming, and easy going but attentive. I didn't think I'd encounter the quality of service we received in this place. Not that I doubted them specifically! Lol. It's just so rare to have a pleasant experience from beginning to end. The décor definitely adds to that 90s NYC vibe but it's part of its charm. So that's a plus, for me. Nostalgic but not completely outdated. The entire staff collaborated very well together to tend to every table. I was advised to reserve a table but I'm not sure we needed to because we dined early at 6pm. But the reservation didn't hurt. If you eat the way we did, be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you visit with a party of 4+ even if no one drinks. For the quality of food, I find it pretty affordable if your group just gets one dish each because times are hard. In this economy? Sometimes we have to make sacrifices lol. But if you can hack it, try as many dishes as you can possibly afford lol. Great wine selections, also! A huge thank you to the staff at Le Zie for making my mother's 69th birthday dinner a memorable one. I hope to be back soon for the Chicken Liver Pâté Crostini and Yellowfin Tuna Ravioli!
