A NY classic which is very warm and welcoming. Amazing wine list and very good food. The Vongole was excellent and everyone else at our table enjoyed their food. The wait staff was very professional which has sadly become a relic of the past. Let’s hope it’s around for another 40 plus years!

Lusardi’s is a true gem on the Upper East Side — the food is exceptional, from perfectly cooked pastas to fresh, flavorful seafood. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it feel like a neighborhood staple, and the management is incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Whether you’re stopping in for a special occasion or a relaxed dinner, you’ll leave feeling well-fed and genuinely cared for.

Our friend suggested we join him at Lusardi's for dinner - what a great suggestion. This brother-run restaurant has been in business for 44 years, and they know what they're doing. Seemed like mostly regulars. Great service, food, and ambiance. Nice wine list. Lots of specials to supplement the menu. Everything our group ordered was great including appetizers and desserts. Fair prices. Highly recommended if you're in the Upper East End.

The best! Delicious! Our favorite! We love Lusardi’s and come here not just to eat dinner but to celebrate all of life’s moments. We choose Lusardi’s over every restaurant in NYC. Every time we are welcomed so warmly. We love Luis, our favorite waiter, he is so funny and makes your dinner one to remember. All of the food is amazing but I especially love the grouper and poached pear dessert. Their specials are also always fantastic. Thank you for being a little gem in our big city!

I believe the front house person and the majority of the staff are Italian, so good starting point. We had the shrimp and butter beans appetizer, seafood pasta, special of the day which was branzino in white wine sauce. All was well-seasoned and just tasted great. The pistachio tart for dessert was chef kiss. The staff was attentive without being annoying. Cozy atmosphere. Dimly lit. I would definitely come back here.

Simply the best! They make everything on-site. The staff and food are excellent! The atmosphere is charming. We go here whenever we are in the city, which never disappoints us.

Che Bello! My wife and I found ourselves around the corner, bewildered, struggling to wrap our minds around the sudden and unexpected loss of our dear aunt. We wandered in and this restaurant, the food, the atmosphere, the people - especially Dino - it all helped to heal our hearts and minds for just a little while. There's no getting around the truly tragic backdrop of our visit, but this restaurant will forever hold a dear place in our hearts. They treated us so wonderfully. If we lived closer, we would be here every week.

Love the White Truffle Pasta and Tiramisu!! The pasta reminds me of Japanese ramen noodles (which is more chewy than regular Italian pasta I have tried). The staffs are super friendly too. High recommended!

Viviana Shanks

What a tasteful and enjoyable experience ! The personnel was very welcoming and polite, and for once I felt like I was back in Italy. Menu is complete and everything looks delicious. I choose the seafood pasta and it was absolutely amazing. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked and so was the pasta. My friend took a chestnut pasta and he was in heaven (he is a real Italian). Dessert was to die for! From far the best tiramisu I had in years and on the city! I totally recommend it and will go back again as it is in our neighborhood !

Well established classic atmosphere with old-school character. Food was good. I had the veal meatballs for appetizer and rabbit stew dish for main. Great group of people. Active owner with Italian roots.

Excellent time over our relaxing dinner. Large And Delicious Appetizers, Meals, and Dessert. Worth the price to get hot food that was delivered hot! Full Bar and Many Reasonably Priced Wine Selections. Very comfortable and accommodating wait staff.

Do not order the special without asking the price. I ordered the pasta special which was good, not incredible. The manger came over to shave truffle on the pasta. It was not a question, just a simple serving of the dish. When I got the check my dish was $135 alone. It certainly was not worth that.

Friendly staff, but the food was mid (especially considering the nearby alternatives)
