Bistecca Fiorentina

amazing place with great food, very reasonable prices especially for the theater/ time square area. Our food came out and smelled so good a group who just finished actually said out loud " OMG, IT smells so good I want to eat again". The steaks tasted as good as they smelled and the pasta was perfectly cooked, and was hand made and seemed relatively fresh also. The wait staff were courteous and friendly and it provided a nice atmosphere.

The best steak we had in New York served by caring staff with a personal touch. The dry martini was not in its element but the prosecco was - and the delicate sauce moistening the bistecca Fiorentina (one was enough for the two of us) was subtle but not bland. We were there between the pre-theater crowd and the post-theater bunch and got great treatment!

Attentive service, tasty food, on target desserts and tasty wine (from Italy, no less) at less than $100/pp (after tip). Came here with a few friends last week where we chowed down on mussels (okay), calamari (tasty, could have been more crispy) and 2 porterhouses for 2 (every bit as tasty as they say although I've had better meat elsewhere). All were fans of the side of creamed spinach that came with our steak dinners. Of sides ordered, my sauteed mushrooms were most quickly devoured but we weren't fans of the mashed potatoes (tasted of the instant/box variety) and the fried artichokes (crispy when warm, but when chilled- tough and kind bland) Our server was very good, frequently coming by our table to ensure our glasses (both wine and water) were never empty, even ensuring we ordered a 2nd bottle to split. Highlight of dinner was the desserts. SO and his friend both got the chocolate pudding with lady finger. By the way they devoured it, I'd say it was good. Another friend got the tartufo (incredibly delicious) and I enjoyed my mixed fruit tart, served on a flaky shell. Overall, dinner was a good experience. We did not feel rushed, even as the restaurant filled up and the food was decent. If I ever find myself in the theater district with time & money to burn, craving steak, I wouldn't mind paying a revisit.
