Mark's Off Madison: A Taste of Italian-American Brunch Bliss in New York

Food was excellent! Good portions, flavor. I came to try the lasagna and was not disappointed! The deserts and pizza were also really good. The pace of dinner service is relaxed, so you can take your time eating, but it doesn't drag. Service was excellent.

Was in the mood for Italian and ended up at Mark’s Off Madison. Overall, it wasn’t bad. The eggplant parm wasn’t my favorite, but the lasagna was definitely solid and the standout of the meal. Not sure it quite lives up to all the hype I’ve seen, but for a midweek dinner out, it was perfectly decent.

This place has THE BEST fries I have ever had. The outside is crunchy while the inside is pillowy soft. The sauces that come with it are nothing short of perfect.

Good dining experience. Great service, upscale & quiet atmosphere with intimate vibe. I came here with a few friends recently and we had an enjoyable dinner. Attentive service, delicious dishes with nice presentations. Very appetizing Zucchini Chips. I love my Roasted Salmon, very flavorful and was prepared just right! The Orecchiette and Bitter Green with Sausage was very tasty as well.

So the food was fantastic! Restaurant week tasting menu was divine! Our server was ok but not super attentive or friendly for that matter but she did do ok. The bus people and food runners were top notch. They had plate cleaned off the table and waters filled amazingly fast. We would totally come here again on our next visit. My only complaint was the fixtures and bottles on display were very dusty and you could see the dust floating in the air when someone walked by them.

Mark's Off Madison was quiet midday during lunch after 1 pm. Tables were plentiful inside and outdoors. The restaurant is big but not too big. You get views into finishing stations in the kitchen where staff may be seen plating entrées. The bar is at the entrance and a decent size unless it is after work and crowded. Pricing is Manhattan typical. For lunch the Hen of the Woods salad was great and cost about $26. Adding the Belgian truffle fries made the combo hardier. Those were $16 and fresh for sure. Worth trying for the table. Service was decent and it made sense for the lack of traffic that time of day. I would return to eat again another day and try the signature lasagna.

Beautiful place, good food. I went to try their infamous lasagna, and it was pretty good! Their pizza was as well. Our server was good, but the check-in experience was a bit lackluster, tbh, especially since it wasn't really busy.

Superb food! Instagram lasagna did not disappoint. Spiced veal pasta was a nice surprise and must get again. Drinks were perfect. Desserts not impressive for NYC.
