    I have been a patron of Limani in Long Island. During the pandemic, everything was impeccable. After the pandemic, when they removed the glass separations for each table, we found the noise level complex, and we will not go there on the weekends. This is the second time I have dined at the Manhattan location. As cited in my review, the food and service were excellent, although I needed a better explanation of what I ordered. In addition, I found that they were too fast to clean the tables and we were not even finished. It was like they were rushing us out. The drinks could have been more potent. However, again, I found it to be cold and drafty. I had to eat wearing my coat.

    Good food and excellent service in a congenial space. Good list of wines by the glass. It was very quiet when we arrived at 5:45; by 7:30 the noise level was moderate — louder but not unpleasantly so.
