Wonderful, old-style Italian restaurant. Excellent dishes and creative flavors. Warm and inviting atmosphere. Eggplant parm is to die for. Many specials each night which is part of the fun to hear what is new. Classy staff!

Lex is one of the best Italian restaurants on the upper east side, maybe in New York.

It’s our favorite restaurant in NYC. I have celebrated my birthday there yesterday. Everything was perfect. Thank you Philippe and the team!

A traditional Italian restaurant with excellent service and good food. We sat at the outdoor heated seating, which was very comfortable but have also previously dined indoors. The indoor decor is very cozy. The seafood risotto was excellent, and the veal piccata was tender and well marinated. We ordered the special dessert for the day (apple crumble pie with ice cream) and the warm chocolate brownie with ice cream. Both desserts were super yummy.

This was a random find near where we visiting. The service was great. The staff was friendly. Most importantly, the food was really great! My mussels inmarinara sauce were delicious. Several folks in our party had large portions with leftovers to take home for lunch the next day. We are keeping this place on the list for a repeat visit.

Stopped by this amazing restaurant in the Upper East Side, and it was absolutely worthwhile. The pasta and calamari were to die for!! so fresh and flavorful! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere on the summer and anytime!

This place is terrific. We stumbled on it by accident. We were actually roaming down Lexington trying to find a decent slice of pizza when we happened upon this wonderful restaurant and decided to follow our gut. So glad we did. The menu was outstanding and the food was terrific. Our server, Kazan, was everything a server could be, from helping us decide on the specials to making sure we had everything we needed and also giving us a little bonus of some limoncello to cleanse the palate. Definitely going to be on our agenda the next time we hit NYC .

I got here pretty late, about 50 minutes before they closed. I was worried that I might be turned away or could only ordered takeouts. Good thing they were nice and friendly enough to give me a table.
