    The food came very fast. It was well cooked. I had the Pollo Francaise, and the portion was fairly large. It was a little under seasoned. The costs were reasonable for Times Square dining. Would definitely go back.

    I was with three friends and all had the specials- two ate lasagna & one black squid ink pasta with mussels, calamari, peppers and a spicy red sauce. My friend commented that the seafood was perfectly cooked. I had a pizza. We all enjoyed our meals and could not finish the generous portions. We shared a chocolateVesuvius dessert. To our surprise it was NOT what was expected (some molten concoction) but was much better with multiple different delicious layers of chocolate (mousse? Ganache?) and something that seemed to be cheesecake. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I always come to Daniela’s at least once when I am in NYC. Reliably great food and friendly attentive service.

    We were quickly seated at our reservation time. Service was outstanding, checking in on our party often. An extensive menu, and the daily specials were great! Will definitely return!

    First time dining here. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was reasonably priced but didn’t taste great. Portions were very big. The calamari and mozz sticks were subpar but the mussels were good. For dinner, the chicken marsala and chicken parm tasted good but the side pasta was disgusting. The sauce used in the side pasta and pasta vodka was sus- it tasted like watered down jar sauce almost to the point of tasting like ketchup. It was a one and done for us. Place was super crowded so not sure if we just ordered wrong.
