   Service and food was great! Sat outside, and great ambience but I will say that the T runs below the grates in the sidewalk so it can sound loud.

   Food was excellent, service was excellent. We had reserved outdoor seating, but since it was extremely hot, we were offered an indoor seat if we wanted. Very thoughtful.

   I always have a great experience at Sulmona. The place is great, the staff goes out of their way to be helpful and of course the food and beverage never disappoints. I look forward to my next visit.

   The hospitality and professional service provided a relaxing backdrop to the delicious and perfectly prepared scallops, steak and traditional pasta entrees served at our table. Excellent wine pairings. We are looking forward to our next gathering at Sulmona.

   First of all, I want to note the noise level. The summer veranda stands on the METRO Shaft. Trains are constantly rushing by and this sound drowns out everyone. It is impossible to be. The mood is ruined, the day is ruined. Water is poured at room temperature on a hot day. I meet this for the first time. The apetizers were delicious, the pasta just disgusting. Overcooked, the sauce has no taste at all, the shells are hard. Pasta with meatballs was edible. No more. The pizza was also edible. Nowadd to that the constant sound from the shaft and you get the whole picture. When I asked for a check, after 20 minutes the waiter came up and offered dessert with a tired face. If you will not work in your restaurant, I think you will soon lose customers. Although what kind of work can be done if the veranda is on the subway shaft.

   The place was nearly empty but the sirens, Red Line, and street traffic made it very noisy. Tuna appetizer was terrific as was the pasta.

    Food was mediocre at best, not worth the price - $200 for 3 of us - 5 cocktails and 3 main dishes (no appetizers, no salads, no desserts). We sat outside, which was nice to have that option, but, every 3 minutes a train went by (underneath the sidewalk where we sat) and we couldn't hear each other. Definitely in the category of "Once and done" - we won't go back.

    Made the mistake of ordering the Branzino special. The filet was so thin and small I was literally hungry after I ate. I think for $42 maybe they should have served the whole fish bone in to make it a meal. So I filled up with a desert which was delicious. My friends ordered red sauce dishes in which they all enjoyed. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the server was wonderful. I would go back for pasta dishes only.

    Do not sit outside as you will not be to hear anyone or have a meaningful Conversation as the redline train goes right underneath the sidewalk and the subway vents are right next to the table so you constantly hear the trains go by every 3 to 5 minutes. If the restaurant were more smartly run they would’ve put their outdoor tables on the side of the business that doesn’t have the train running underneath it. That being said the drinks were good the staff was great and the food was just very average especially for the price.

    We had been looking forward to trying Sulmona for quite a while and were sorely disappointed. It was packed at 6pm and extremely noisy and the windows were open, normally great, but the Red Line T trains were traveling directly underneath the restaurant adding to the noise. It took 20 min to get a martini from the bar. The apps we had were the winner, my main, the Bolognese was just so so and the pasta was greatly undercooked. Our waiter had too many tables but did his best and was very nice. We wont be back.

    Sulmona has a great vibe and aesthetic. The wait staff were friendly and prompt with their service. Unfortunately, that's the bulk of the good news. Our introduction to the restaurant was being greeted by a rude host, who seemed like they were potentially one of the managers. He also never gave us the specials menu, which we only realized existed after we ordered and saw other people being seated and getting a copy. We both ordered a pasta dish, the cacio e pepe, and were excited for the meal: neither of us ate more than half because it was inedible. It had absolutely no flavor, no salt, and no cheese. It was watered down and the only flavor was that of the noodle itself. We couldn't help but notice that several other tables had the same dish that they too left half uneaten. We were extremely disappointed and the experience -- with exception of a friendly and prompt waiter -- was quite lacking. Not worth the prices or the visit.

    We chose this place for a commencement celebration, based on on-line reviews. Although a reservation was made in advance, We were seated on top of a subway grate and couldn’t hear each other/the waiter or anyone else. The host was frankly mean, not willing to assist with guest’s needs. The salad ordered was small, although we were told it could be shared as a starter (it fed 2 people instead of 4). The food came in different times so we were left waiting to eat until the last order was delivered, 5-7 minutes later than the other mains. The only good choice on the menu is the pizza; pasta and meat dishes were something you would get at a chain restaurant. We won’t be going back.

    If you’re trying to drink a decent amount with your dinner don’t go here- the service takes awhile and they won’t let you have more than 4 drinks even when you’re eating. Overall though, really good food and cool ambiance.

    Wasn’t seated until more than 30 minutes after reservation. Multiple parties were subjected to the same wait. No apologies given. The host stand was irregularly staffed. Lacked a sense of attention or care. Very disappointed.

    Wife and I went here for a Sunday morning brunch. Food was terrific, and the ambiance inside was exactly what we were looking for. Next time I’m in the city I will make it a point to return for another meal.

    Service and pizza was ok, nothing amazing. I was pretty disappointed with the lamb skewers dish - tasted like gas (from a grill), unseasoned meat interspersed with gristle and fat that didn’t appear to be put to good use in the cooking process. I found the little Italian flags they stick in the dishes annoying instead of charming. Food came out quick even though it was a busy night, but it took a long time to get a check. Overall for the price point, I won’t be returning.

There was literally something for everyone. The bolognese is the best I’ve ever had, including in Italy ! Highly recommend !⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We are a group of 4- 6 friends who dine out weekly. We all felt that Sulmona left us feeling like it could have been a better experience however, the Bolognese is very good! The order was not at all paced for a relaxing dinner experience. Our apps came out really quick which was nice and the arancini were great, as was the octopus HOWEVER, we were still enjoying apps when our dinner came out - way too soon - the Server did turn the dishes back to the kitchen to hold. The Carbonara was the most bland dish and I am a huge carbonara fan - I sent mine back and another tablemate generously layered his with salt and continued to eat it (he hates to send a dish back). The drinks were very good - really enjoyed the Sangria. We would likely return to give it another try, as we believe there are some good dishes to be had here - however, we would definitely ask for the courses to be appropriately spaced apart. At this current time and experience, I would give it a 3/4 stars - there's room for improvement.

    Great place for brunch - the menu includes typical brunch items like eggs Benedict and French toast but made in their style as well as pizza, paninis and burgers. There’s something for everyone and the food is very good. We had the porchetta panini, porchetta hash, eggs Benedict Italian farmer style and eggs Benedict with charred seasonal vegetables.

    Graduation celebration- our waiter was very informative, knowledgeable about the wines and gave good food recommendations. He was very attentive and even bought us a taste of another wine he thought we might like when our appetizer order was delayed. Highlights were the mushroom pizza and the bolognese- very nice sauce. We’ll definitely come back when we’re in town again.

    The restaurant and bar are lovely and the service is great and the Mediterranean salad was tasty. BUT the pastas (we got two... the carbonara and the spaghetti alla chitarra with meatballs) were terrible. Both were almost completely flavorless. The carbonara was watery (?) and bland. They were also both extraordinarily expensive. I haven't had pasta in restaurant that bad in a long, long time.
