Gino is a multi-generational family restaurant. I went there when I was a little girl and now I take my children and grandchildren. The food isn't trendy and that's part of the charm, because you know what you're eating, there's something everybody can eat, and if you want spaghetti with butter, (I know this to be true) they will lovingly serve it to you. The baked-stuffed artichoke, the veal parm and the red sauce are great. Service is excellent. We celebrate our happiest events here. It's a tradition.

Depressing, old, and overpriced

Among the 60+ age demographic that filled every table (except mine) there were fashionistas and sharp suits, probably because they remember Gino's better days. Besides being an Italian "institution" in New York, the flourescent lighting, stale bread, and very odd waiter would keep me from returning. The mixed antipasto certainly included some unusal additions, like sardines and red peppers, but nothing I couldn't serve out of a jar in my own kitchen. I'm convinced our waiter was sipping something in the kitchen - when I asked for a pasta recommendation, he slurred "do you want it short or long?"
