Theatergoers flock to this Times Square spot for friendly service and homey Italian fare.

In Short
Inside this mammoth Times Square restaurant, the dark wood bar is shined to a high polish, and tables dressed in white linens are flanked by leather-upholstered chairs. Gracious waiters rave about the antipasto bar, which promises 40 types of cured meats, seafood, vegetables, and cheeses for patrons to mix and match. Italian-American entrees include steaks, pastas, veal scaloppini, Maine lobster, and thin crust pizza. Cannolis and profiteroles make a sweet finish.
