"Friendly" owner Mario Lusardi oversees the "vintage poster"–lined room at this longtime UES "institution" where the Tuscan food is as "terrific" as the "gracious" service and "old-fashioned style"; its "adult", "high-end crowd" doesn't mind the "expensive" checks, given that it has "maintained its quality over the years."
