We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Lume. The staff graciously seated seated us early and the kitchen was kind enough to accommodate my food requests. We will definitely visit again.

We were pleasantly surprised at the great service and the food was excellent. They were able to accommodate us, a group of 12. The gluten free pizza was exceptional. We also enjoyed the salmon, steak, the French toast. They make excellent drinks.

After approximately 10 visits to Portale I have to say 10 out of 10 each and every time. Service is attentive without being intrusive, servers seem to know what we need before we know. The menu is always changing, and new items unexpectedly impress. I did not think butternut squash ravioli would be for me, but when a sample dish was sent to the table, I could not believe how delicious it was, creamy yet light with a subtle fall spice profile. Three of us were in attendance this night and we all agreed, we have never had a bad, drink, appetizer, entree or dessert. Hats off to Chef Portale & staff! Can't wait for my next visit to NYC and Portale's

    What an incredible gem! The service was outstanding; the attention to detail was unparalleled. We enjoyed the meatballs, cacio e pepe, and a margherita pizza with prosciutto. All were delicious, and the beef jus accompaniment to the pasta was a decadent touch. Will definitely return!

    Welcomed and seated very quickly. We both ordered the cacio a pepe. It was so delicious! I also got an aperol spritz. All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would absolutely come here again!
