Exquisite food, great atmosphere and friendly staff , including talented chef Serena Bass , a true genius. Lunch specials for $10 are excellent deals: steam mussels and the Tuscan burger were perfect!!

The traditional Italian décor coupled with the brick wall normally seen in bars lends itself well to the overall ambience of this spot. A variety of Italian dishes are offered, and they also deliver .

Get there before 1pm to beat the church crowd for Sunday brunch . The French toast and the chicken panini are great options to try. Opt for the bottomless mimosas . Well worth it

Maciio Pineda

The food is so good. I tried the open faced panini along with a mimosa , no regrets!!! I'm a city guy so I love this place so take that in mind, this is a noisy place, but lovely though.

Perfect date night spot - we enjoyed the creamy garlic bread , gnocchi and the ravioli dishes. They were all delish and very attentive service . Can't wait to go back.

Kelli

Definitely one of the bigger brunch venus in the area. Wait staff is awesome for how busy the brunch hour is for them. Great for dates, if you have visitors in town or meeting a girlfriend.

Michael King

Wonderful friendly staff , met the Chef Serena Bass (amazing and wonderful) and Susan the owner. Food is always consist and wonderful both in presentation and in taste. 5 Stars

New York Habitat

This restaurant has a great vibe, all meals are wonderful and they have a great happy hour that lasts until 7:30. Fill up then take a stroll through nearby Morningside Park .

Chris Evans

The short-rib hash paired with bottomless mimosas is probably the single best thing you could possibly do around Morningside Heights on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

Jaro G4

If they have it as a special be sure to treat yourself to their pumpkin ravioli with a balsamic reduction . Simply unbelievable

Jaro G4

Everything here is actually delicious. Be sure to definitely start off with Crostini (Salted Cod and Prosciutto for sure) also the Mushroom Polenta and Gnocchi with Truffle Butter is to die for.

Please try the Spagehttini Parmesan , and spend the extra 6 bucks and get the Shrimp ! I promise you you won't regret it! Also, treat yourself to the Garlic Parmesan Bread ! Awesome!

Yummy brunch . Food comes out pretty quickly. Went on a Sunday and the place was packed!! Lots of z-list reality tv sightings ????

Adna

Lovely clean restaurant with great service. Portions run on the smaller side, but the food quality is definitely worth your money.

Daniel Marco Fernandez

Lunch menu is really cheap and tasty! The hamburger is good and also the spaghetti (10 $ each). Just across the street you have a Levain Bakery for the best dessert in town .

Minnie Kim

Bottomless mimosa brunch was spectacular! And it's only $13! The blueberry pancakes are fluffy and just melt in your mouth.

Tom Igoe

Our go-to neighborhood place . Always a good burrata appetizer , the polenta fries are great, and many good entrees. Nice folks too.

Harlem Ambassador

Finally an eatery that gives good service , good wine , good food and good face. This is one good looking staff . Check out their gay night for the hipster folk with cash.

The Corcoran Group

Check out this intimate Italian joint for brunch for perfectly poached eggs and a delicious frittata ! You also can’t go wrong with their $10 bottomless mimosa !

Time Out New York

The best approach to Lido is to treat it like a tapas bar , snacking your way through dinner Read more

Evan Harms

Halibut was fantastic; good wine and good salad too. Bruschetta was dandy as well . A little pricey but worth it

Shea Johnson

Great brunch in Harlem. $10 unlimited mimosas . Try the fennel salad or the poached eggs with white polenta .

Adam Carnegro

Try the Beef Short Rib Hash , Poached Eggs , Hollandaise - #TreatYoSelf (via @Foodspotting)

Matthew Caldecutt

There's a smaller lunch menu , meaning you can stop in and be on you way in under an hour. I recommend the garlic bread and gnocchi .

Kristen Murphy

Seasonal menu , but the short ribs , gnocchi , and veal meatballs are fantastic. Wine list is good & priced well . Hard to go wrong here.

Ivy B

OMG love this spot. And will officially be visiting again. White polenta is delightful. And the egg is poached perfectly.

Giselle Valdez

Loved loved loved the eggplant appetizer . The salmon and white sangria were quite yummy as well . Definitely going back!

The eggplant ravioli is the best I've ever had! Orange , mint , almond - the flavor is really complex, fresh and delicious.

$14 unlimited mimosas . They definitely keep them filled. Thumbs up. Saw a couple sit here for at least 45 mins post meal and nobody rushed them. They instead enjoyed more mimosas !!!!

Max Thomas

Dinner is a lovely experience with well prepared and served Italian fare with a touch of sophistication.

The mussels are so flavorful. Lots of garlicky tomato goodness. Oh and try the Sangria . It's $5 for happy hour and it has more flavor than I expected.

Tom Wang

Jess Ostroff

The perfect lunch - sugar snap pea and arugula salad plus the budino for dessert ! Delicious!!

Aaron Calloway

$15 cocktails make for a pretty big tab, but they're delicious. The undercooked my steak , so I'm a fan of drinking here over eating here.
