A client, old school Italian fella, suggested this joint. Warmly greeted by the valet. Prior to the rest of the party arrival, had a few very strong drinks at the bar, tended by a very friendly bartender. A lady, presumably Gino's wife, kindly sat us down at a corner table by the window.
The waiter, another very charming fellow, was attentive and engaging. He recited the long list of specials. His one mistake was not tending to the wine after each of us were finished with our respective glasses.
Now, we have all been to Italy and every top notch restaurant in Manhattan. The standard of food here is clearly subpar in comparison. The potential is within reach, but the entire table wasn't impressed. My spicy veal was probably the best dish.
The specials are exorbitantly priced, so you may want to ascertain the cost with waiter before ordering.
The decor was very nice. I especially liked the touch the copper pots gave.
Came for a private event – surprise 30th birthday party which was held in the upstairs area.
Everything was flawless – food was delicious, drinks were flowing, staff were attentive, and the atmosphere was very nice.
We had shared appetizers at each table, the calamari were out of this world and I couldn't get enough of the tomato/mozzarella salad.
For my entree I got the chicken parmesan – flavors were simple yet delicious and it was a nice portion.
Wouldn't hesitate to come back.
You know I hate doing this but they earned it. 5 stars beginning to end.
Parking: strictly valet. Very efficient and quick to get you in and out of the lot.
Decor: very nice place.
Staff: hostess was very friendly, manager or owner was engaged and aware of everything happening around them. Waiters and bussers were on point with memoriZed specials and keeping glasses filled and tables clean.
Food: Amazeballs!!!! We had the Dover Sole and the Bone in Rib Eye. Both cooked to perfection. Served timely and together. They deboned the sole as it come out which is great.
Dessert: banana/strawberry flambé so good!! Throw in two glasses of Louis XIII for a special occasion to top it all off!!
Cost: it's expensive (relatively) but worth every penny.
I usually write these like stories but the only point to make here is go and enjoy!!
I died and woke up in an Italian food heaven!!!! I met the owner Gino at Sear House and he said I should try his restaurant Dimora. I was very skeptical about this place at first. But it was a Tuesday evening and I didn't feel like cooking, so we decided to give this place a try.
Valet parking took care of our car right away. We went in, immediately were served cheese-bread appetizer. Wasn't a fan of it, but hoped the food would be better. Then we saw Gino. He was sooo friendly and nice! I told him I like pasta and he immediately ordered a complimentary pasta sampler for us. Oh-my-God!!! The gnocchi was to die for!!! I have tried gnocchi in dozens places, but this was something else!!!!
Then we ordered lamb chops for my husband (of course lamb again *rolls eyes) and I ordered Branzino as Gino had recommended. Branzino was out of this world! I am not easily pleased with food (look into my yelp review history), but this was a truly good dish!!!
My mouth is watering while I write this review, in fact I will call them now and make a reservation for tonight! Can't wait!
