Caravaggio
“I didn't think I could get stuffed off of such small dishes-sorry, but the pricier the meal, the less the give you.”
“A nice restaurant with a very attentive service, ambiance is quite and nice, you can have a talk.”
“Caravaggio is located just off of Madison on 74th with a pretty unassuming entrance, but once you get inside you can tell that it's an upscale place.”

I came here with my family for Easter brunch. The room was simply beautiful, and lunch was inventive Italian and delicious.
Beautiful room, sophisticated ambience, modern art, occasional power players, and fine food make for a special night at Caravaggio,which plays in a certain high end Italian niche you may only find in Manhattan.
I was impressed with the ambience, professionalism of the staff, and great choices for specials. (Our waiter seemed to remember at least a dozen in great detail, without needing to look at his "cheat sheet.")
Standouts included a grilled sardine appetizer, linguine, and a rich burrata.
Ambience is a bit formal for my taste, but overall Caravaggio is a highly professional, high quality Italian restaurant that appears perfect for a business dinner or night out with visitors or parents.
Wonderful restaurant with a great atmosphere, impeccable service and outstanding food. And they serve dinner later.
The atmosphere. Wonderful.
The service. The most attentive service. We had several servers attending to our every need from food ordering, clearing dishes immediately upon finishing, and filling our waters and drinks. In fact, while I can never complain about outstanding service, it was so attentive that there were a couple times I thought I could use a little less attention so that I could have a little more time for uninterrupted conversation. That is not a complaint- I was more humored that the service was so outstanding.
The food. Their special list cited by the server was extensive. They served a small cup of cauliflower soup and a truffle flavored encrusted little ball in bit of sauce- on a lovely presented small plate … A fabulous start to the meal and showcasing the start of a fantastic presentation of all the dishes. We then had the Brussel sprout appetizer from the specials menu – the best Brussel sprout dish I've ever had. Mixed with walnuts and some other ingredients and bursting with perfect flavor.
They have four fish entrees on the menu plus one or two on their special list, including Bronzino, scallops and swordfish. I ordered the Bronzino which was perfectly presented with colorful mixed vegetables and a light sauce on the side. Absolutely delicious, light, perfect; the best Bronzino I've had but unfortunately, a couple bones… They kindly took it back to address but I found another – I understand the need to ensure presentation isn't compromised … They offered another entree; so I went with the scallops in a truffle oil. When I commented I loved truffle oil, the server returned to the table with extra truffle oil which he drizzled over my scallops. Perfect !
Highly recommend.
