Murray Hill Restaurants

We are staying at the Murray Hill Suites and wanted to know if there are any good italian restaurants or steakhouses in the general vicinity? Thanks.





Murray Hill Restaurants


Coppola%26#39;s is a good italian place right near there. Here is their website...complete with 360 virtual tour.

For steak do Bobby Van%26#39;s in Grand Central.



Murray Hill Restaurants


Villa Berulia, on 34th between Lexington-Park Aves., is a good, old-fashioned neighborhood Italian.




Yes and yes. For steak, Wolfgang%26#39;s Steakhouse is one of the newest steak places in NYC. It%26#39;s owned by a relative of the famous Peter Lugers in Brooklyn. I haven%26#39;t been but reviews are very good. It%26#39;s at Park %26amp; 33 st. It%26#39;s pricey as are most of the steak places.





Trio is not exactly Italian. It%26#39;s billed as Croatian/Mediterranean, but I think you%26#39;d like it. It%26#39;s not too pricey and there%26#39;s often live piano music. It%26#39;s on 33 st b/w Lexington %26amp; 3rd.





Tre Pomodori on 34th b/w 2nd %26amp; 3rd is ';cheap and cheerful';. Better for takeout imo.





Salute on Madison %26amp; 39th is good (but can get pricey). I like their pizza and sometimes have lunch there in the bar area. Stella del Mare is another that%26#39;s good but pricey. I think they get more of a business crowd.





The best rest. in the area imo is Artisanal (French). Minado is a bargain all you can eat Japanese/Korean buffet with very good food. Sarge%26#39;s deli good for breakfast.




Agree with nywhiz about Trio and Wolfgangs





Trio - book in advance if you want to go on a Tues / Wed or Thurs when they have a pianist. Lovely food





Wolfgangs- excellent grilled food - not cheap but beware huge portions - I ordered far too much extras - the jacket potatos were the size of a plate!!!!

Not an Italian or steak place, but a lovely restaurant with great vibe is Meli Melo.





On Madison around 30th Street. Closed Mondays.




Thanks, everyone!




I believe your hotel is on 38th just off 3rd, so you%26#39;ll be near Osteria Laguna, which is on 42nd between 3rd and 2nd, across the street from the NY Helmsley Hotel. I think it bills itself as something like ';modern Venetian,'; but whatever it is, it%26#39;s a nice casual mix of modern Italian dishes. It%26#39;s owned by the same people who own Osteria al Doge and Osteria Stella in the theater district.




A favorite of mine--and of all the friends I take there--is Notaro on Second Avenue off 35th Street. It%26#39;s a friendly, atmospheric true neighborhood Italian restaurant with excellent food, good service, nice atmosphere, and amazing prices...I think there%26#39;s an ';early bird'; special for around $13! Check it out.
