Il Cantinori

4.6

About this business

One of the finest and trendiest Italian restaurants in the city, Il Cantinori is expensive and upscale as well as relaxed and casual, although paparazzi sometimes lie in wait at the door for the movie stars and models that adore the place. You may fall in love with this spot too, as the Tuscan cuisine can hardly be surpassed. The front room is where the trendier people sit (which ensures that they will be noticed), but the back area is more romantic.

Great for Groups – Il Cantinori came through in a big big way. I celebrated my birthday there and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. I was frantic to find a restaurant that would accommodate my growing party size from 9 to 11. My bf called at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night and asked for a 9:30 reservation for 11 ppl. Miraculously they could! The evening turned out perfect as we had the best table in the back of the house. Every one was more than pleased with the food and service. For a big group, the food came ou... read more

Consistently delicious – I love the food at this place. Every course has fresh ingredients and the menu changes constantly. I've been for both lunch and dinner and the food is always great. Service during lunch is usually slow even though they're not busy compared to dinner. However, all the servers are nice and sweet and the last one gave me a big plastic container full of cookies to bring back to my co-workers. Awesome. Love this place. A neighborhood gem.

Very Average Food - good service – I had high expectations based on other user reviews, but the food was very average. Granted I went during restaurant week, but I went with a group of 4, so between us we had everything on the menu, and nothing was at all impressive. The best dish from all courses was probably the mushroom salad. The sausage rigatoni was very bland with a sharp spiciness. It wasn't bad, but I've had much better at neighborhood italian restaurants (malatesta, nonna, bettolla to name a few). The desserts on th... read more

Perfect Italian Dining – Though I've heard mixed reviews, I found the entire dining experience to be top-notch. Warm, comfortable and inviting, the dining room captured an authenticity that most can not. The wait staff was absolutely charming, piling compliments on the female diners and bringing small treats from the kitchen, compliments of the chef. The food itself was also quite good, from salad to dessert. I would highly recommend this as one of the best Italian dining experiences in the city.

Loved it!! – The restaurant is very romantic but its also a great place to go just with friends. The staff has a such a great attitude. The food was absolutely delicious. The desserts are to die for. And I love the fresh flower arrangements in the Restaurant (even in the ladies room).

Best Italian Restaurant! – Incredible food. Romantic ambiance. Great wine. Great service. I definitely reccomend this place for a date or for a small quiet group of friends. It is a bit pricey, but worth every penny! I can't wait to go back!

Amazing and Classic NYC Restaurant – I have been here twice now and have another reservation for this weekend. It's such a great diner spot and a famed NYC classic. If you are looking for a pleasant, intimate, romantic and delicous meal, this is your place. I highly recommend any pasta dish over the meat/fish dishes. Get your celeb-spotting glasses on and get ready for a mouth watering dining experience.

Amazing – WIth a warm greeting at the door, we were shown to our table and served a complimentary bruschetta which was so oversalted I spat my first bite out... not the best way to start the night off. We were served water in a plastic pizza-parlor style water pitcher, c'mon Il Cant, is it really that hard to buy 8 metal or glass pitchers? As you can see, the start of the meal wasn't A+. However, things took a drastic 180 degree turn as our incredible server, Dominico explained the menu to us, etc. By the way, the place is g... read more
