"Talk about a meal and a show!! If you haven 't been here you have to try it at least once. This particular Samurai has been here for years. The food is delicious!! They make the rice with garlic butter and then they serve you these two side sauces...I always only get double portions of the shrimp sauce. I think it 's a shrimp-based sauce. I 'll have to ask next time I 'm there. From the moment you walk in to see the friendly face behind the counter, to the table server, runner, and chef it 's an experience you 'll never forget. You can take a date, family, friends, or even go solo. The table is set up in such a way that even if you go solo you won 't be dining alone. I usually order the lunch combo with chicken and shrimp. The meal comes with a side of soup or salad, mushrooms (yum), veggies, chicken or veggie fried rice or you can order good old white rice. The salad has this ginger dressing that is to die for. The soup is delicious as well except that when it 's for lunch you have to pick one or the other (soup or salad). Whichever one you choose trust me you won 't be disappointed. For dinner, you do get both the soup and salad so you get the best of both worlds. Plus it doesn 't matter if it 's lunch or dinner the portions are very hearty. It doesn 't seem like it at first but once you have all of the food on your plate you realize it 's plenty of it. The only downfall is the heat/vapor, and you 'll walk out smelling like you just prepared your meal but you 'll leave happy. As my grandma used to say, Full belly, happy heart."

"The design of Mozzarella Vino ' restaurant is very simple and upscale. The soft lights and classic music was great for our dinner. My friend and I started started with wine Vermentiono Di Gallura. I would say it was very good decision to trust the server 's suggestion.Our waiter, as I knew later worked here for long time, had a pretty good taste of food. Our appetizer had 3 types of mozzarella: buffalo mozzarella, smoked mozzarella and burrata. It was one of the most delicious mozzarella I have ever had . All type of Mozzarellas in the restaurant are from Italy. I would say they truly deserve to be known in New York for the Mozzarella cheese. Our entree was lasagna. The server mentioned that it was one of their specials for today. The lasagna came very warm and delicious. I was very pleased with the taste of lasagna, because it contained mushrooms. An interesting combination. We finished our dinner with dessert. It was one of my favorites Carrot Cake topped with rabiola cheese and mascarpone mouse. To be honest, I wasn 't sure how cheese as an ingredient would make dessert sweet and delicious. Believe me, the restaurant surprised me when I tasted it. It was not just sweet but very light taste. The Service was very polite and friendly. The manager visited our table a couple times to make sure that we are good. It gave me feeling that they have high respect for their clients. In the end of our dinner we were introduced to the owner of the restaurant, Gianfranco Sorrentino. He is a nice man with friendly and open personality. And he also gave us advice us to visit their other restaurant Leopard des artistes I would definitely follow his suggestion. If you would like to try different types of mozzarella, light dessert with couple of good wines, you should definitely visit 'Mozzarella Vino '. You will be so pleased with the service, atmosphere and of course, their delicious food."
