Description: Lido’s menu is Northern Italian. The menu can be described as fresh, simple, and delicious. Flavors are layered so that each one stands out but does not compete with others in the dish. The food is organic and local whenever possible and all poultry and meats are from farms that treat animals humanely. The ambiance is modish but relaxed. We look forward to seeing you soon.

First the food is innovative, and tasty. Love the warm Kale Salad with Cannellini beans as a meal or an appetizer. The bread is killer from "Amy's Bread" The salt cod & potato appetizer is also worth a try. I saw a skirt steak dinner next to me that also looked wonderful. (they didn't need any 'go' container that's for... More

Loved the French toast with fresh berries that I had. Great, open, and inviting eating atmosphere. Attentive service and many options to choose.

A pretty little restaurant with an interesting menu in a neighborhood that hasn't been known for its foodie culture. Looks like that has changed! Very comfortable, good service. Try it.

Three of us went to this restaurant, without a reservation, at about 7 p.m on a Thursday night. We received smiling attention immediately, menus and water, and specials were announced efficiently. The bread was served with an excellent tapenade: when one of us asked for olive oil instead, it was brought with a smile. We all had two courses, a... More

I thought this place was very good. The cocktails were nice, The food was good. Solid Italian. It was a bit crowded, so be sure and make reservations if you don't want to wait at peak times. The staff was very friendly, and it was an enjoyable meal.

Stopped in on Thursday afternoon for lunch. Enjoyed a bottle of white wine with our lunch. Service was efficient and friendly. Food was really good. We had the Lido BLT, the Crab Cake, the chicken panini and the prosciutto panini. Reasonably priced but out of the way for most visitors to NYC. There are a number of good to great... More

A warm late summer day, filling in as a last minute baby sitter for my precious two year old niece, I decided to take a walk thru the neighborhood and settle in for lunch at Lido's on 8th Ave (for tourists it's Frederick Douglass Blvd.). Poor baby, she quickly fell asleep in her stroller under the spell of the afternoon... More

A New York friend steered us to this buzzing neighbourhood spot in an up-and-coming part of Harlem and Lido didn't let us down. Not just another by-the-numbers trattoria dutifully riffing on the classics, it offers a menu attractively spiced with new twists. Any number of places turn out decent ricotta ravioli; Lido's are garnished with roasted eggplant and almonds, and... More

Whenever in NYC we always make a point of having dinner at Lido. The service and food are spot on. My favorite dish is the gnocchi with a side order of the meatballs.

We stopped in for a light lunch and a glass of wine at the bar. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was great. We would return for sure.
