Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Chinatown

Beautiful place, great vibe, outstanding service and food. Loved every minute

First I want to say the ambiance was spectacular down to the dancers and DJ. The food was ok could have been better or they should have better choice sides the place overall was great experience expect for one thing the waiter. When me and my friends got there we where seated and the waiter Norilk came to use took our order but that was it for the night he never came back until we had to run him down to come back to our table. Waiter Norilk went to the table beside us and the table infront of us multiples times without them calling to him to check on them and ask them how is the mood and how is everything going. I am the bday girl please note I went to take pictures downstairs for 30 mins and when I came back up my fren told me the waiter hasn’t come back to our table and I wanted to order a drink with my food. Finally waiter Norilk walked passed our table went to the next table beside us and ask them if they are good passed us again went to the table infront of us and ask if they are good too. I saw the motion I called him over he look miserable and I asked him in a nice way did he forget about us this man shouted, “I am very busy anyway what you want.” I looked at him and said I am good. I was about to order a bottle of champagne and my desert cake for my table but because of his rudeness I decide not to and it broke my vybe and mood just wanted the check and leave. Waiter Norilk was very rude and didn’t have any good customer service ethic towards us and Pappas need to look into this because NYC is a very diverse city all sort of ppl come there to eat and enjoy Resturant not only Greek ppl. Thank you

We had a great meal at Lil Frankie's. Highly recommend the fire roasted eggplant with a piece of the amazing garlic bread on the side to pile the eggplant on. The gorgonzola on the pear and gorgonzola salad was one of the best cheeses I've ever eaten. Had the classic Spaghetti Limone and the Pappardelle with Lamb Ragu from the specials- both pastas phenomenal. Tables are squeezed in tight and there are no coat hooks but other than that - no complaints!

A flawless, lovely afternoon. Wonderful service! We ordered a pizza, octopus, short-rib pasta, wine, pannacotta, biscotti, and expresso. Each dish was perfectly made and often surprisingly so. The restaurant even served my wife a birthday treat, which many fail to do.

Altesi is our favorite downtown NYC Restaurant. The food is always perfect. The service is top shelf and the place has a great vibe.
