We ordered the picanha and polpo to start. So delicious. The spaghetti and lumache did not disappoint. Ended the evening with the black sesame tiramisu - so creamy and moist. Nice way to end our last night in NYC. Can’t wait to come back again

The team provided absolutely world class service! We were there to celebrate a friend’s 17 years in NYC anniversary and wondered what could possibly go right if we book at Union Square Cafe. But Ethan, Ian, Kaitlin and Craig went above and beyond to make our meal unforgettable!
