A sidewalk cafe on 7th Ave in Chelsea, the real jewel is the bar located on 20th street. It is a true delight. Cozy with nice lighting, there is a small bar with a few cozy booths, Sunday Tuesday and Thursday the bartender plays an amazing soundtrack of 60s and 70s from the best of Phila International, Motown and others that sets a chill mood.Al Green, Bill WIthers and so many great songs you've forgotten, like At Last. The menu of Grappa, Scotch and Whisky is varied, as well as cocktails.

So said one of three older women (one in head-to-toe leopard) who had finished dinner and were heading out past the bar where I was sitting, reading and eating alone. Her two companions turned to gawk at me. Now, despite that, Le Zie is exactly the kind of place where a woman can sit at the bar, read and eat alone, feeling comfortable and divine. The staff and managers couldn't do enough to make me feel more comfortable, including bringing a candle over to give me a bit more light.

Dinner was simple dish of gluten-free penne with meatballs, served piping hot with a well-prepared red sauce; not too sweet, dark and rich. The meatballs were tender and delicious and it all went very well with a smooth and savory glass of Chianti, rich with coarsen tannin and perfectly able to cut through the meatballs and tomato sauce.

The back room, where the bar was, was packed with diners, including a table of eight and a table of four with a woman whose laugh continually pierced the room. What did H.L Mencken say? " How little it takes to make life unbearable: a pebble in the shoe, a cockroach in the spaghetti, a woman's laugh." Happily, a good book and a good glass of Chianti can temper a lot of things.

Le Zie is charming.

indifferent service, marginal presentation, appetizers lacking in substance, and an
overall disappointment. A special was soft shell crab....there was more sauce than crab. nothing to suggest a visit would be of value....there are better choices up and down seventh ave. and the surrounding neighborhood.

Been here a couple of times and always seems to have a nice meal. They don't rush you out of here. You can relax and have a good meal and linger over your coffee if you want to. I had the risotto with shrimp. Nice and creamy with that bite to the rice that you would expect from this dish. Wonderful! My bride had the bacon wrapped monk fish which she said was cooked perfectly. We finished off with the profiteroles. Yummy! Do yourself a favor, visit this neighborhood restaurant which is close enough to the Garden if you're going there for an event.

We were a group of 6 for a dinner.

It was pure fun. All the dishes were tasty the wine was great and the atmosphere good. What else can you ask from a place. Good dishes that were on the table - prociotto and Burata, artichoke salad, ravioli with fish, white clam sauce pasta and others.

Highly recommended
