"Came here to celebrate a Birthday, but was worried because I haven't been here since before Covid. And I was concerned the food and service changed. Well I was concerned over nothing. The food was better than I remember. The waitress was great, after we were seated, they immediatly brought Garlic Knots to the table. The Garlic Knots were so soft it was like eating an out the oven biscuit, with Garlic baked in and garlic oil and Parmesan cheese on top. And they had some tomato spread that went well with it. I could of eaten a dozen of them. But that bread saved us money, because we didnt order appetizers. She ordered Angel Hair Primavera with Chicken. The portion was nice. Definitely food to take home, which was the next day's lunch. I wasn't sure what to get, so I went with their special, Honey-Glazed Half-Chicken over spicey/sweet Brussel Sprouts. I don't know how they cooked the chicken but I was tasting the Honey-Glaze within the meat. It was so good. Not huge fan of Brussel Sprouts, but it was the perfect compliment to the sweetness of the chicken. We enjoyed the meal so much, and glad we got there when we did. Because by the time we noticed the place was very busy. As we ate our meals, we enjoyed watching the other dishes being served. They do a great job with food presentation. But the waitress made the night for us, but definitely for me. Like i said, it was a birthday dinner, and we said that to the waitress as we were seated. When we finsihed and was enjoying the ambiance, without me asking the waitress, she brought over a small cup filled whip cream and a candle and sang Happy Birthday. Again, I didnt ask her to do this, she took it upon herself to do this. It's those small gestures that made the night even better. Love this place."

"The design of Mozzarella Vino ' restaurant is very simple and upscale. The soft lights and classic music was great for our dinner. My friend and I started started with wine Vermentiono Di Gallura. I would say it was very good decision to trust the server 's suggestion.Our waiter, as I knew later worked here for long time, had a pretty good taste of food. Our appetizer had 3 types of mozzarella: buffalo mozzarella, smoked mozzarella and burrata. It was one of the most delicious mozzarella I have ever had . All type of Mozzarellas in the restaurant are from Italy. I would say they truly deserve to be known in New York for the Mozzarella cheese. Our entree was lasagna. The server mentioned that it was one of their specials for today. The lasagna came very warm and delicious. I was very pleased with the taste of lasagna, because it contained mushrooms. An interesting combination. We finished our dinner with dessert. It was one of my favorites Carrot Cake topped with rabiola cheese and mascarpone mouse. To be honest, I wasn 't sure how cheese as an ingredient would make dessert sweet and delicious. Believe me, the restaurant surprised me when I tasted it. It was not just sweet but very light taste. The Service was very polite and friendly. The manager visited our table a couple times to make sure that we are good. It gave me feeling that they have high respect for their clients. In the end of our dinner we were introduced to the owner of the restaurant, Gianfranco Sorrentino. He is a nice man with friendly and open personality. And he also gave us advice us to visit their other restaurant Leopard des artistes I would definitely follow his suggestion. If you would like to try different types of mozzarella, light dessert with couple of good wines, you should definitely visit 'Mozzarella Vino '. You will be so pleased with the service, atmosphere and of course, their delicious food."
