Sistina New York Reviews from The Last Year
Perfection! Highly recommend!
This is our second time dining at Sistina. Our first experience was in 2022. We returned because we had a wonderful dining experience. This time was just as incredible! We were seated at a cozy booth in the corner, looking out to the rest of the dining room. (Coincidentally, it was the same table we had the first time-and the same server). The dining room is beautiful, refined but not stuffy. The service was 5*, from the water constantly being refilled, our server’s pleasant and professional attitude, to the sommelier’s knowledge and helpfulness. The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS-just how we remembered it! The chef worked his way around the room, engaging with all the patrons. I’m not sure what all the negative reviews are about? We can’t wait to return again during our next visit to NYC and highly recommend!
Given that cost per person is $200- +300, and most nights
Given that cost per person is $200- +300, and most nights it's crowded, you would think the owner would be more pleasant. Not our Italian stallion-- he walks among his patrons like a victorious gladiator, or maybe his secret is the Achilles heal of his UES crowd --Appeal is always inversely proportional to attainability. Or perhaps it's because this restaurant has no competition in the immediate neighborhood, or perhaps the patrons enjoy being told what to do by a waiter from Queens. Which is note worthy as there are a handful of excellent Italian restaurants there, at a fraction of the cost. Last night when I told my waiter I want to order a drink, before I order food, his response was "let me tell you the specials before it gets to crowded- and when I asked for a basket of bread, his response was "you can have bread when you order your food." Didn't know I was being trained for the NYC kennel club. This is outrageous behavior and I'm paying for it ! Could be the UES clients like abuse, or are too lazy to venture into other areas in NYC where there are abundant Italian restaurants with superior food. I talked with some friends who also frequent this S&M club fronting as a restaurant and they agree with me. no Michelin star here, just an expensive spaghetti joint - truffles on everything $$$.... The food....don't know- l left after one drink !
I Recently went to Sistina expecting to have an excellent
I Recently went to Sistina expecting to have an excellent dining experience.. My expectations were shattered the moment I was seated. A waiter came over and immediately gave us a menu. We ordered two drinks and and the waiter then said, "Have you decided on what to order?" We had been there a total of 10 minutes and was hoping to have a nice leisurely meal.We were then informed that a large party was expected and it was important that we place our order before the group arrived. We then hurriedly looked at the menu and ordered a bowl of soup and some Veal Milanese. The soup arrived within minutes followed by the main course. At this point we had been in the restaurant no more than 20 minutes. Decidedly this was turning out to be a a quickie meal that one might have at a local diner but this was at a restaurant which charges approx. $100.00 a per person! The soup was fine but the Veal Millanese was TERRIBLE. It had been cooked to death and frankly tasted like a piece of cardboard. Though my companion had been a regular for years we were treated without any consideration. We politely complained about the meat being overcooked and tasteless. It frankly tasted like CARDBOARD but we were told that they could not replace this with anything else. At this point, we decided to leave. We placed $ 100.00 in cash at the table which we felt would cover 2 bowls of soup and 2 cocktails and an untouched glass of wine. The owner however, went to the front door and would not let us leave! He said he had called the police! At this point we placed another $ 50.00 on a table and left. RUDE SERVICE WITH OUTRAGEOUS PRICES! WRITING THIS TO WARN FUTURE DINERS.
Excellent Italian cuisine in very stylish interior
Sistina provides excellent Italian cuisine in a very stylish interior inspired by the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art (and other 5th Avenue museums). I was here for lunch and had the clams & mussels over linguini. The meal was very tasty, as was the red wine poached pear I had for dessert. The interior & service was very elegant (and you certainly pay for that). A good restaurant choice if you like fine upscale dining.
La Sistina is an upscale spot on the UES.
I recommend sitting in the garden room if possible, which is well lit and bright. There is also some cool art decorating the restaurant. The service was good, and I appreciated the selection of breads and three kinds of butter to start. The restaurant has a very large specials menu, which I ordered from. I got the scallops and potato puree. It was pretty filling and the scallops were cooked well, but I wish there was more variety and flavors with the dish. The scallops had a nice texture, but definitely lacked flavor, and the combination of the scallops and potato could get a bit tiring by itself. I wish the dish had a bit of acid to lighten it as well. The dish I ordered was okay but not terribly impressive.
While the ambience is lovely the service is arrogant, slow
While the ambience is lovely the service is arrogant, slow and much less than gracious. They are unwilling to accommodate requests for half portions of pasta at lunch, very unusual. I ordered two appetizers one a salad and another a seafood. The salad was supposed to have shaved truffles but there was not one bit of truffle, only very artificial and overly strong flavor of truffle oil. There were very intense overpowering garlic chips and a cloyingly sweet sheepmilk ricotta spread underneath the lettuces. It was a strange combination of flavors that should never have been on the same plate. The seafood appetizer included tasteless shrimp covered by clashing overpowering flavors of orange, garlic and jalapeño, which should have worked but somehow did not. Perhaps the proportions were wrong. It was an unpleasant, disappointing and very expensive meal. Most of it remained on the plates.
Interesting tale of 2 evenings!
We were staying nearby at the Carlyle and came in for a late dinner at the bar our first night in town. It was outstanding - 5 stars. The bartender was warm and engaging, the food was great, yes expensive but we weren't drinking so not too bad. Veal tortoloni and the bass. We liked it so much we decided to cancel our Saturday night dinner elsewhere and come back - a completely different experience. Also at the bar but the server was rude and indifferent, focusing only on locals. They have many specials and he rattled them off so quickly I couldn't even understand one. The food also was less good, my $55 pounded veal chop was dry and tasteless and my wife's $50 chicken meatballs also not great. We also got to see the chef confront a poor woman who was unhappy with her food and threaten to call the police on her. So from 5 stars to one. Just depends on the night I guess.
This was our first time at the restaurant.
The ambience is lovely. The room is quite nice. No music is a plus. The crowd is old and well dressed, by that I mean sport jackets . The weight staff was wonderful, and the food quite good. When you first sit down, they place prosciutto and cheese on the table as you peruse the menu. The reason I write this review is because they actually charge $50 for this dish which no one actually ordered. I presumed this was on the house, so to speak. Unfortunately I noticed I was charged for it. After spending $400 for two people it seems very petty. If they want to charge, they should put it on the menu and let the customer decide to order it. They may have gained $50, but they lost a customer JWolfson
Expected better quality food
The restaurant was recommended by a friend. Location is prime, ambiance great, service very good but the food was average. Pasta was oily, fish was ok and the chocolate soufflé was average. Prices were ok.
Terrible customer service.
They are unresponsive when calling, they do not have a voicemail setup either and you cannot change your reservation via a third party app even if you made it on Opentable. It's a scam that they want to make it as hard as possible to cancel or change your reservation so they can make money off of you. We were sick with COVID and tried multiple times ot get in touch with this restaurant and they still charged us. Seems like they wanted us to show up sick and spread COVID in their restaurant.
True Italian cuisine - in a cozy, quiet, and beautiful
True Italian cuisine - in a cozy, quiet, and beautiful framework. The chef owner is an art collector. You see drawings by Matisse on the walls. The wine list is amazing!
Quite possibly the best restaurant in NYC.
I hesitate to tell people about Sistina in hopes of keeping it a secret, but they more than deserve the recognition. Although the menu is stunning, I've never once eaten off of it because of how well cultivated their specials are. Impeccable service with a classic UES feel. Would be surprised if a Michelin star wasn't on the way.
Exceptional food, service and class
I’m 77 and been to great Italian restaurants in Italy, Europe and the US, and all three of us found every aspect of our meals to be exceptional. The waiters were on top of everything and very well trained and attentive. I rate this as probably the best Italian restaurant I have ever been to - definitely 5 stars from us.
We made a reservation for Christmas Eve one month ago
We made a reservation for Christmas Eve one month ago after reviewing the online menu. They called a week away and said it is a 250 dollar price fixe menu that they still haven't decided on.
Atmosphere and Great location
Close to Metropolitan and good. I was only expecting high prices, given this location. But the food was very good, interesting and flavorful. I had the lasagna Bolognese. The service was excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. Warning, lots of steps !
overpriced for decent food
We went for a business dinner. The restaurant was very expensive and we felt pressured to spend more. The food was good, but not better than at restaurants costing two thirds of the price. I think the focus is more on projecting a feeling of luxury than offering a really fine meal.
We had a nightmare at Sistina tonight.
The waiter insisted that we order right away because the restaurant was going to be busy. We told him we weren't ready to order food as we had just ordered drinks . We said that we hadn't even looked at the menu so it would be awhile. He then brought out the owner who proceeded to give us a lecture in a very loud and obnoxious way. And by then he was yelling at us and we yelled right back at him. He behaved like a lunatic and the entire restaurant was shocked by his crude and distasteful remarks. Then he told us he wasn't going to serve us. I'd never experienced anything like this and I am a native New Yorker. The owner clearly has an anger management problem and you would have to be crazy to eat in this vile restaurant with it's vile owner rushing you out of the restaurant.
Wonderful Lunch
I can't find any fault with my lunch experience. The outdoor seating was lovely, the food was delicious, the service was first class. The gave us a plate, of exquisite cookies, compliment's of the chef. There aren't that many restaurant's in the neighborhood, on this level of excellence. It's on the expensive side, but most in the neighborhood, are also expensive, and not nearly as good.
Overpriced New York dining
Very expensive upmarket dining experience. Tuna tartare delicious but top top end pricing at €45. Salmon also delicious but another eye watering $46. Wine not even worth considering, perhaps I’m just not their target market.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
