"Horrific experience for a Mother 's Day family brunch on a semi-empty restaurant.Dishes don 't come out at the same time for everyone at the table, waiter forgets my drink, then comes back saying would you like some red wine? the white wine is warm . Seriously? Forty-minutes have gone by and my pasta is nowhere to be seen even though my wife has finished her meal and our 2.5 year-old son is starting to get kranky.We decided to then leave, and skimming through the reviews, it is clear we are far from the first ones.The worst part is, this is not our first experience with the exact same issues. Many, many years ago before Covid we had a similar experience with family visiting from abroad. We thought that after 5+ years since that incident they would have learned how to manage a kitchen and properly train staff. Look, we all have bad days, but on a semi-empty day and with consistent issues that span for several years of horrible service? No.A real shame since the place is actually gorgeous and the location is unbeatable for the UWS.I really just hope they run out of their lease and the city decides to move forward with a different concessionaire. One that can effectively operate a kitchen, hire and train the right staff, and ultimately, add value to the neighborhood instead of ruining family plans.Needless to say, never coming back under any circumstances."

The food was affordable and the drinks were perfect! I attended for a friend's birthday dinner. We all had a great time.

This is a cute restaurant inside the New York Historical Society (across from the Museum of Natural History) that I think would be perfect for a museum day

Wonderful lunch at Storico. Food and service were excellent. Definitely recommend for lunch if you're near the Museum of Natural History or anywhere on the Upper West Side.

My friend and I have not seen each other for several years. Although we booked for an outdoor table, we arrived early and were seated indoors. We shared 4 dishes and some wine. Each item was divine and ample. View menu

We had a fantastic Sunday brunch at this restaurant, which was a beloved favorite before the pandemic. We are happy that it is still open. The menu had a nice selection, and the food was cooked and presented beautifully. Our waiter, Letrell, provided excellent service.

My wife has a dairy allergy. Unfortunately, every item on the menu contains dairy, even in unexpected places like the buttered toast that comes with the otherwise dairy-free shakshuka. The staff seemed ill-equipped to accommodate allergies, which made for a very disappointing dining experience at a restaurant that we used to enjoy.

This was my first visit to the restaurant with my friend and we both thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere was peaceful and spacious, a true oasis in the bustling city. The service was satisfactory, although our server was not very knowledgeable about the menu when we asked questions. Despite this, we will definitely be returning in the future. View menu

6 of us went to Brunch after a docent tour. I was expecting a museum cafe and wound up having a delightful meal in a charming restaurant. Every person I interacted with was warm and courteous. The manage came by at the end of the meal and asked about the meal. He carried on a pleasant conversation about NY Historical Society itself and their association with the institution. I can honestly say I had the best eggs Benedict ever. I'd be back in a heartbeat.

It was Sunday brunch hour, and the restaurant was not crowded, so we were a bit worried at first, but soon the worry went away, as the wait staff was very attentive and friendly, and the pasta dishes we ordered were really good. I have been going to Storico since it opened some years back, and it has gone through multiple changes over time, and some of those changes were not so great at times, to be honest, and that was a reason I was not back for a while. But I am glad the restaurant is doing well and serving good food. The space and decor alone are worth visiting. We will be back again.
