Al di Là Caffè & Cantina In Cervia

Shout out to Milo, our epicurean guide. A great meal means fabulous food and ambiance, but not enough credit is given to the server, the culinary enthusiast who sets the tone for the adventure. We started with ZUCCHINI SALAD Ribbons of green and gold zucchini, fresh red chili, mint, onion, shaved Pecorino, lemon juice, olive oil Then shared RICOTTA CAVATELLI- Roasted tomatoes, garlic, chili, creamy lemony ricotta, basil; MALFATTI Swiss chard and ricotta gnocchi, brown butter and sage and CORN TORTELLI Homemade tortelli stuffed with corn and mascarpone, Parmigiano. The meal ended with a mango and pineapple sorbet and a warm pear cake with chocolate pieces baked inside. What is your work schedule, Milo?

Delicious food, great service - would highly recommend! I got the beet ravioli and it was divine.

More than a sum of it's parts. Al di la is constantly above average, and a great date night.

The food and service were awesome!!!

Food is spectacular, quick and kind service, highly recommend!!

I went to the bar for happy hour. There was no one else. Which can be a good thing or bad, depending on your mood. Great drinks and food though.

Really enjoyed the pasta dishes. The mussels appetizer was a little light.

Great local spot with awesome food and a great staff/service. Their commitment to Northern Italian classics and creative specials, coupled with the cozy vibes, makes this restaurant one I’ll definitely revisit. Everything was amazing but the oxtail and cuttlefish polenta and the octopus spaghetti stole the show.

We dined here on a Thursday night after hearing amazing things from friends in the area but it didn’t live up to the hype. The asparagus spears were very thick and bland, the tagliatelle took the definition of “al dente” to a new level and the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. We also tried the straciatella and the pea tortellini which were all edible but not notable. My favorite item was the mashed yukon potatoes served to accompany the chicken. I’m not normally a potato fan but they were delicious. Do yourself a favor and try one of the dozens of other amazing Italian restaurants in New York.

Delicious food. Intolerable noise level.
