The food was awesome, delicious, and affordable. Royal service. Dine like a king and would impress the best. So many amazing memories. The brick oven chick slayed, and the red wine with bubbles was truly intoxicating!

I moved (all over) and haven't been back to NYC in some time. I am SUPER sad to hear it closed. Very, very sad. I'll still stop in their wine bar though. Still, so sad. =( This truly was the BEST Italian food in NYC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-27013892244706191362013-12-10T03:11:28.856-05:002013-12-10T03:11:28.856-05:00Il Posto Accanto is still with us and I've alw...Il Posto Accanto is still with us and I've always preferred it to Il Bagatto.<br />I wish Julio and Beatrice all the best.

I switched to Supper down the block--even though you end up have to wait the same amount of time or longer there, at least you don't feel resentful that you made some "reservation" that ended up being meaningless. I always suspected that il Bagatto just wanted to sell more drinks at the bar before they seated you. Either that or it was very badly run.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
