Profile

Its sunlight sadly stanched by the behemoth that is AOL-Time Warner’s new corporate headquarters on Columbus Circle, this inauspicious American bistro on 60th Street still shines with its emphasis on homemade pastas (heavy on the cream sauce) and a bevy of meat dishes cooked over a wood grill. A delicious baby chicken marinated in buttermilk and rosemary and served with garlic-mashed potatoes, roasted onion and broccolini is $31. A corporate crowd dominates during Gabriel’s busy lunch hour, filling out the cozy booths and 20-odd tables in the main room; dinner’s partial to Lincoln Center patrons of the arts and local dowager types. Either way, it’s hearty, no-frills, otherwise innocuously upscale Upper West Side dining with high standards and no attitude.

Overpriced Attitude

Overpriced mediocre food and indifferent, haughty staff. Prices are over the top for the quality. Waitstaff treat guests as an inconvenience. The sommelier was uniformed on quality wine and when questioned became defensive. So many other better Italian restaurants in the area. The only reason they are still in business is because they are so close to Time Warner Center.

Suggest the Tuna .... prepared wonderfully and a substantial portion. Service crisp and clean. Had a late dinner mid week and that was wonderful.. no crowds and quiet atmosphere. Highly recommend.
