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.

Had tickets to the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular on Friday night (8pm show) and made reservations for 6 pm. The restaurant wasn’t very busy at that time. Service was very attentive. Food was great —had the prosciutto and burrata appetizer and two entrees. Was surprised that we couldn’t get a glass of red wine for less than $18 (out of towners snd not used to the high prices). Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend.
