Nina GomesJanuary 24, 2017Exquisite food, great atmosphere and friendly staff, including talented chef Serena Bass, a true genius. Lunch specials for $10 are excellent deals: steam mussels and the Tuscan burger were perfect!!
amNewYorkMay 5, 2013The traditional Italian décor coupled with the brick wall normally seen in bars lends itself well to the overall ambience of this spot. A variety of Italian dishes are offered, and they also deliver.
Get there before 1pm to beat the church crowd for Sunday brunch. The French toast and the chicken panini are great options to try. Opt for the bottomless mimosas. Well worth it
- Maciio PinedaOctober 19, 2019The food is so good. I tried the open faced panini along with a mimosa, no regrets!!! I'm a city guy so I love this place so take that in mind, this is a noisy place, but lovely though.
Charron F.May 1, 2014Perfect date night spot - we enjoyed the creamy garlic bread, gnocchi and the ravioli dishes. They were all delish and very attentive service. Can't wait to go back.
KelliMay 28, 2015Definitely one of the bigger brunch venus in the area. Wait staff is awesome for how busy the brunch hour is for them. Great for dates, if you have visitors in town or meeting a girlfriend.
Michael KingDecember 10, 2013Wonderful friendly staff, met the Chef Serena Bass (amazing and wonderful) and Susan the owner. Food is always consist and wonderful both in presentation and in taste. 5 Stars
New York HabitatFebruary 2, 2012This restaurant has a great vibe, all meals are wonderful and they have a great happy hour that lasts until 7:30. Fill up then take a stroll through nearby Morningside Park.
The short-rib hash paired with bottomless mimosas is probably the single best thing you could possibly do around Morningside Heights on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
If they have it as a special be sure to treat yourself to their pumpkin ravioli with a balsamic reduction. Simply unbelievable
- Everything here is actually delicious. Be sure to definitely start off with Crostini (Salted Cod and Prosciutto for sure) also the Mushroom Polenta and Gnocchi with Truffle Butter is to die for.
KateFebruary 6, 2020Loved Lido! Went for Restaurant Week - had the beet salad, black squid ink pasta, and bread pudding. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff!
Tyrone H.November 28, 2014Please try the Spagehttini Parmesan, and spend the extra 6 bucks and get the Shrimp! I promise you you won't regret it! Also, treat yourself to the Garlic Parmesan Bread! Awesome!
Yummy brunch. Food comes out pretty quickly. Went on a Sunday and the place was packed!! Lots of z-list reality tv sightings 😉
AdnaJanuary 29, 2015Lovely clean restaurant with great service. Portions run on the smaller side, but the food quality is definitely worth your money.
Daniel Marco FernandezNovember 23, 2016Lunch menu is really cheap and tasty! The hamburger is good and also the spaghetti (10 $ each). Just across the street you have a Levain Bakery for the best dessert in town.
Minnie KimSeptember 18, 2014Bottomless mimosa brunch was spectacular! And it's only $13! The blueberry pancakes are fluffy and just melt in your mouth.
Our go-to neighborhood place. Always a good burrata appetizer, the polenta fries are great, and many good entrees. Nice folks too.
Harlem AmbassadorMay 4, 2013Finally an eatery that gives good service, good wine, good food and good face. This is one good looking staff. Check out their gay night for the hipster folk with cash.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 4, 2011Check out this intimate Italian joint for brunch for perfectly poached eggs and a delicious frittata! You also can’t go wrong with their $10 bottomless mimosa!
Time Out New YorkJuly 18, 2018The best approach to Lido is to treat it like a tapas bar, snacking your way through dinner Read more
AnyaDecember 10, 2017Very happening place. Definitely come for brunch here and their unlimited mimosas 😋
Evan HarmsJuly 26, 2016Halibut was fantastic; good wine and good salad too. Bruschetta was dandy as well. A little pricey but worth it
Shea JohnsonJanuary 2, 2012Great brunch in Harlem. $10 unlimited mimosas. Try the fennel salad or the poached eggs with white polenta.
Adam CarnegroJanuary 31, 2016Try the Beef Short Rib Hash, Poached Eggs, Hollandaise - #TreatYoSelf (via @Foodspotting)
There's a smaller lunch menu, meaning you can stop in and be on you way in under an hour. I recommend the garlic bread and gnocchi.
Seasonal menu, but the short ribs, gnocchi, and veal meatballs are fantastic. Wine list is good & priced well. Hard to go wrong here.
Ivy BSeptember 29, 2013OMG love this spot. And will officially be visiting again. White polenta is delightful. And the egg is poached perfectly.
Giselle ValdezJuly 25, 2014Loved loved loved the eggplant appetizer. The salmon and white sangria were quite yummy as well. Definitely going back!- Lacey HeggemJune 2, 2013The eggplant ravioli is the best I've ever had! Orange, mint, almond- the flavor is really complex, fresh and delicious.
HectorFebruary 15, 2017Good for dates. Enjoy some wine and delicious Italian dishes in this cozy restaurant. Definitely make a reservation.
Thalia KApril 27, 2013Try the White Polenta Poached Egg Mushroom Ragu - With truffle oil and hot pepper flakes. Another delicious meal in Harlem!
Lido has great brunch and dinner, but gets really crowded for weekend brunch, so make a reservation and/or be prepared to wait- AnyaDecember 10, 2017Very happening place definitely stop for brunch here and order unlimited mimosas 😍
Brunch gets packed, so make a reservation. Bottomless mimosa refills are frequent and plentiful
David SpruytMarch 4, 2017Excellent food,service and environment! Also good tips for cookies from the bakery right opposite ;)
$14 unlimited mimosas. They definitely keep them filled. Thumbs up. Saw a couple sit here for at least 45 mins post meal and nobody rushed them. They instead enjoyed more mimosas!!!!
Max ThomasJuly 20, 2014Dinner is a lovely experience with well prepared and served Italian fare with a touch of sophistication.
The mussels are so flavorful. Lots of garlicky tomato goodness. Oh and try the Sangria. It's $5 for happy hour and it has more flavor than I expected.
Tom WangJanuary 4, 2015Try theIr unique twist on French toast for brunch. It's different on the outside but tastes good in your insides
TylerJuly 14, 2018Friendly service, superb food. The omelette, egg panini, and salad were all choice.
Natalie PachecoAugust 17, 2023A great spot for Brunch, must have a reservation and food comes out fast- Michael KingDecember 10, 2013Consistently great food, make sure you save room for the desert too...this place is always worth the trip.
Samuel TurnerJuly 18, 2015Delicious scallops and risotto. We sat outside but the inside looked interesting.
Kaitlyn PezikSeptember 14, 2015bottomless mimosas, goat cheese, asparagus, shrimp and hollendaise omelette is amazing
Jess OstroffDecember 18, 2013The perfect lunch - sugar snap pea and arugula salad plus the budino for dessert! Delicious!!
Lindsey GJanuary 30, 2012No bad meal on the menu...my favorite order: Beet Salad, Cod, chocolate with sea salt and olive oil....great date night!
Aaron CallowayJuly 12, 2013$15 cocktails make for a pretty big tab, but they're delicious. The undercooked my steak, so I'm a fan of drinking here over eating here.
