    A traditional Italian restaurant with excellent service and good food. We sat at the outdoor heated seating, which was very comfortable but have also previously dined indoors. The indoor decor is very cozy. The seafood risotto was excellent, and the veal piccata was tender and well marinated. We ordered the special dessert for the day (apple crumble pie with ice cream) and the warm chocolate brownie with ice cream. Both desserts were super yummy.

    Wonderful, old-style Italian restaurant. Excellent dishes and creative flavors. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Eggplant parm is to die for. Many specials each night which is part of the fun to hear what is new. Classy staff!

    Amazing food, made a reservation for 4 online and it was phenomenal. We all got different pastas and loved it. Service was great, ambiance was a little formal and adorable, with real roses in every table. Was super empty 6pm on a saturday, which was great!!

    We had a great time and a great food with friends! Would to come again and definitely will do!

    We had to send back the rack of lamb, because we didnt know it was fried, so we ordered the Branzino instead. Good flavor but we prefer the skin a bit more krispy. I ordered my steak medium rare the first 25% of the steak was over cooked, but still juicy, once I got to the center part it was cooked to perfection. The fried calamari was delicious.

    My wife and I truly enjoyed Lex Italian Restaurant! The food, and service was spectacular. Everyone was very kind. You don’t stay in business for over 25 years if you are not a quality restaurant. Looking forward in coming back.

    Went here for my moms 75th birthday, and the service couldnt have been more wonderful. The waitstaff were so kind and attentive, and the gratis biscotti and limoncello at the end of the evening was a nice bonus. They really made it a special night!

    Absolute best bolognese pasta!! Service was amazing, waiters were kind and attentive. Ambient was lovely. Food quick to the table and amazing dessert selection. A bit high on the price but worth it!

    My Sister Christina lives at E.88th and Lexington and she took me to the Lex when I recently visited her. I had the lasagne and it was the best Ive had from all the Italian restaurants Ive been to. She just sent me 2 servings, in Detroit, and I was stunned at how delicious it was after that journey. Wait staff are the greatest as well!!!

    Really lovely atmosphere that offers free bread and olive oil. Ask the staff for menu recs: The tomato cucumber gazpacho was so refreshing, and the house Chianti was great!

    Upper East Side Sanctuary. Small and very clean place. Service is very professional and supportive. Quiet and pleasant atmosphere. The food is really good. Strongly recommend. You might need to make a reservation for dinner if you want to secure your spot. Their menu selection is very impressive.

  • Review 19 (2023-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    The food is very good, equal to competitors on Madison Avenue at a very reasonable price. Victor, the owner, and his sons are great!

  • Review 20 (2023-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    Wow. Talk about the 1960s-80s. And that’s a good thing. This place from the second you walk in until the moment you walk out screams family owned. The service is impeccable the greetings were heartfelt. The food was remarkably good the drinks had generous pour. Even the house red was really fine The bill was less than you’d expect. There was not a sour note during the entire experience Cannot recommence highly enough.

  • Review 21 (2022-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    We arrived toward the end of the brunch session, with no other customers in sight. We feared this was a bad sign, but other open options didn’t sound as appetizing. The wait staff was warm, friendly and attentive even though they were busy setting large tables to accommodate reservations for the evening. Everything about our outdoor table out on Lexington, its tent warm from heaters; the people; the food (and wine) was exquisite and lovely. What had been simply a side quest for fast food before returning to Central Park turned into a romantic respite. And if that weren’t enough, the waiter surprised us with four delicious biscotti as a free dessert.

  • Review 22 (2022-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    This place is… amazing! The mussels with white wine is to die for. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable night. I came by myself and felt so comfortable and appreciated. Come here for birthdays, anniversaries, and any arbitrary reason! Youll enjoy it!

    The Lex restaurant has been a second home for me in the last 10 years. The service is extraordinary, super cozy atmosphere and best of all, the food is absolutely delicious and authentic.Its a perfect go to for a date night, family gathering, celebration, dinner with your girlfriends or a brunch afternoon.I would highly recommend listening to the specials from your server as they are always super diverse and amazing every time!My personal favorites are the crab cakes and grilled chicken salad to start with. For entrees, you cant go wrong, its more of what youre in the mood for that evening.If you want great service, delicious food and cozy atmosphere, than this is the place for you!

    This place is amazing. Quaint, non-rushed atmosphere. Food and dessert were both great. Staff was lovely. Will definitely be going back. I had the chicken scarpariello, calamari, and tiramisu. I highly recommend all of it. You should definitely top off the meal with the port too.

  • Review 32 (2018-03-25 - Rating: 4)

    I absolutely loved the food here. My boyfriend and I shared Penne ala Vodka with chicken and the Rigatoni with sausage. Both of these pasta dishes were extremely flavorful. I would have given Lex 5 stars accept for one thing...there was a cockroach on the wall!!!! My boyfriend and I were pretty grossed out by this, but the food was so good that I honestly could only knock off one star. I would 100% eat here again, I would just hope there were no more bugs!

  • Review 46 (2024-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    Quaint little place we decided to stop at as we had time to kill before an event! The staff was super friendly, the food was amazing and perfect portion sizes - not too small that youre still hungry but not too big that you cant finish. The place feels on the fancy side and the prices are what youd expect. Overall, worth it and when were back down to the city, well definitely come back!

  • Review 59 (2023-10-30 - Rating: 4)

    Typical Manhattan Italian restaurant. Food was excellent, service was attentive and focused, the outside space could use some sprucing up and the inside space was very noisy/tables close together. Surprisingly, cocktails were not made well ... I think they need a bar tender who knows how to craft a cocktail. Service trailed off a bit at the end as they become quite busy, but we were already on coffee, so was fine. Prices were actually quite reasonable given the recent inflation.

    My girlfriend and I were walking in NYC and saw this beautiful outdoor dining area that caught our attention. They had heaters above the table and below for your feet but we decided to sit inside. It was beautiful. Candle lit and real roses it was very romantic. The cocktails were delicious my girlfriend had an espresso martini and I had an old fashion. They had plenty of specials that all sounded excellent along with the regular menu. From appetizers to dessert they went above and beyond our expectations and even gave us a free after dinner drinks on the house. We will definitely be returning !

  • Review 94 (2021-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    I think this is the best Italian restaurant Ive been to. Ive taken all of my visiting friends and dates here to sample real Italian food without the location overpricing of Little Italy, but with better quality too. Their pastas are absolutely amazing--the pasta itself is delicious and done right, and their sauces are just fantastic with the right texture and taste without being too salty. I took my parents here once, and my mother (daughter to a chef in DC who served 4 presidents) was so impressed that she asked to speak with the chef.I think this is mostly a family-run business, and they seem to do it right. The owner greets you at the door, and the staff will take good care of you. I seem to get the tall server pretty often, and hes very knowledgeable and provides great service. Ive been offered extras on the house, probably because they recognize me after all these visits.I was really worried that my favorite restaurant in UES would not make it through the pandemic, but I was so relieved when I saw that theyre still around. Thank you for your great food and experience, Ill be back!

    Theres never been a day where Ive had bad service here. The food is delicious. Everything is made fresh. My favorite dishes are the Seafood Risotto, Rigatoni, the special of the day which included Salmon, Roasted Potatoes and a crab and shrimp stuffing on top of the salmon. It was so yummy. Lets not even get started on the appetizers and deserts! Try the crab-cake and brownie, you will not be upset. They staff is amazing!!!! They make sure you are comfortable and satisfied from the beginning of your stay until the time you leave. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

    Had the chicken Parmesan which was very good. The service was good and the food arrived promptly. I am disabled and the staff, very kindly, took my walker to the back for me when I took a seat in the front of the restaurant.

    Our favorite local restaurants have been dropping like flies: Scaletta, Chef Ho, Macchiavelli. We want to make sure this low-key but charming neighborhood stalwart stays open. The food is always fresh, interesting, and delicious (spectacular seafood last night), the service both helpful and gracious.

    Lex is the only place in NYC that is consistent when it comes to good food and service. The food is superb and is always HOT. The place may not look like much from the outside however dont miss a chance to have a great meal here. I have been coming here for years and the staff is the same....says something positive about the establishment if you ask me. My favorite dishes are the veal martini, any pasta dish and the branzino fish are excellent.

    Lex was excellent. We had the penne a la vodka, angel hair pasta and the fettuccine a la toscana and it was great. A bit pricey but delicious.

    The food and the staff was outstanding! All 17 of us enjoyed ourselves for my fathers 80th birthday, and our waiter Joe was more than accommodating. Sneaky great place!

    My husband and I had dinner at Lex Restaurant last night before attending an event at the 92nd St Y. Its perfectly located just across the street from the Y if youre planning to attend a show or discussion there. The food was great and the ambiance was good. The service, unfortunately, was disappointing. The owner/maître d was very pleasant and helpful, the young men helping with table service were great, but our waiter, sadly, was not. He was rushed, refused to listen to questions before providing inaccurate responses, and, at the end of the evening, brought us the wrong check to pay. Everyone has bad days - this was certainly one of his. Still, we will definitely be back.
