Lattanzi – Italian
Tucked away in the heart of the Theater District, Lattanzi welcomes guests into a candlelit sanctuary of exposed brick and white tablecloths that whispers of old-world Rome. The kitchen breathes life into traditional Roman-Jewish flavors, where the delicate crunch of golden fried artichokes gives way to the comforting warmth of handmade pastas and slow-braised meats. It is a place where time slows down amidst the pre-show bustle, offering a soulful dining experience that feels both intimately familiar and elegantly timeless.

What diners are saying
Customers consistently praise Lattanzi for its consistently high-quality Italian cuisine and intimate, buzzing atmosphere. Standout dishes include the tender grilled octopus, veal shank, and "butter-like" artichokes, with the napoleon and tiramisu highly recommended for dessert. While service is generally described as friendly and professional—especially for private events and large groups—some diners noted occasional pacing slips during busy pre-theater rushes. Overall, guests celebrate the restaurant as a reliable, fair-value destination for authentic dining in the Theater District.
