About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
A cozy addition to New York City's Theater District, showcasing the unique cuisine. Azalea's menu is unique for Italian restaurants. Simple and modern, each bite encompasses vivid flavors and traditions of the Brescia and Amalfi Coast regions.
The menu offers selections combining the rich, creamy sauces and hearty meats of Brescia with the fresh seafood and the delicate fruits and vegetables of Amalfi. Once inside, an 18-foot, gently curving mahogany ceiling serves as the blossom connecting the fine woodcarving of the front and side dining rooms and bar area. Georgia O'Keeffe's flower series surrounds guests as they choose from Azalea's distinctive menu and extensive wine list.
Azalea strives to be a place where extraordinary food meets exceptional service in a warm, comfortable setting.

    We had reservations for two at 5:00. The food was delicious but unfortunately after being sat for an hour and having finished our appetizer for over 20 minutes, I realized that 3 tables which were seated well after our party had been served their main courses. It was interesting because as soon as I realized the time and the other people having been served, I let our server know we had been waiting a while and our food came out. We weren’t asked if we wanted to order more drinks which was disappointing as well. I think I would try it again, as everyone was very pleasant it was just a bit unfortunate as our service was slower than ideal.

    Our meal was delicious. Gluten free options helped our table and also vegetarian options as well were tasty. Serving sizes were large but uncomfortable. The service was thorough and servers were kind.

    A very convenient location around the corner from the theatre. Very tight seating and very loud because it was full, but very friendly servers and delicious food make it a place that is a good go-to in the area. Not a “must do” or someplace I would keep going back to, but a good one to keep in the back pocket. The two most popular desserts were not available “because they had a really busy weekend” but it was Tuesday? 🤷‍♀️ Their restroom is on the same floor, so for those who can’t navigate the usual NYC basement bathrooms, it is another positive to add.

    Great service and food. Attentive staff and good presentation of dishes. Could use a little more wine inventory but we were very happy with the servers suggestion. We will be back!
