Aren't DMV Appointments non-transferrable?

While it's true that appointments are technically not transferable, for DMV Appointments the transfer service is included for buyers at no cost. The transfer team has both - the sellers and the buyers dmv information, so it can cancel the sellers appointment and then rebook under the buyers name. Should something not work out the Appointment Trader Money Back guarantee will kick in. In any event you won't be turned away when you go to the DMV as the Appointment will be in your name.

Atmospheric, authentic, great food

5/5 by Mick W on 04/04/2022

We - two couples - stumbled into Emilio's and found a gem. The owner (Emilio, I presume) is not the chattiest host in the world (!), but his food and staff more than make up for that. On first appearances, it would be easy to walk past and write this place off, but that would be a missed opportunity. Great, great food; simply Italian fayre cooked well and served quickly yet attentively. Small-ish menu that concentrated on good dishes. My partner described her cheesecake as "the best I've ever had!" - and she's hard to please. As a Brit in New York, I was thrilled to see photos and mementoes of former guests on the wall, many featuring my here David Bowie, who'd eaten there many times. Highly recommended.

1/5 by Marsha G. on 03/30/2022

Disappointing and overpriced lunch8 mini baked clams that were mostly tasteless wet breadcrumbs $26.00!Tagliettellle with bolongnese sauce was $35.00 and tasted like it came from a pizzeria.Special pork chop with cherry peppers was good enough. Served with 4 small potato cubes and a scoop of hot peppers. $36.00Martini, which was mostly ice and water , and no name gin. was $20.00 even though it said 19.00 on the menuThe Boss was sitting at his usual front table with 2 friends. He was angry and cursing very loudly and banging on the table. He would have chased a patron for similar behavior! Not the most charming ambiance....The bloom has been off this rose for awhile. Time to let it finally die.Don't go.

Best restaurant I've ever eaten in.

5/5 by Lee S. on 03/22/2022

Best food. Most wonderful ambience. Not just a restaurant, an experience, like Disneyland for adults. Although there were also some kids here. So much fun with David Bowie's signed photographs and album covers on the walls; he lived only a few blocks away. Now I'm re-listening to all his old music--Changes; Major Tom; Aladdin Sane-- and finally listened to his last album, Blackstar, maybe the most beautiful he ever recorded.

😍

Hole in the wall spot.

5/5 by Brooklyn C. on 03/20/2022

Main room had maybe 12 tables total. Wasn't nearly as busy as some other reviewers said. I asked them to surprise us, and I ended up with their special of the day: a tortellini with lobster and garlic butter sauce. So good and rich! The bread also 100% lives up to the expectations. You can taste how it was homemade. The one with the red sauce could have been it's own meal. They also had the best cannoli I've ever eaten. Great vibes, amazing food, very local feelings. 10/10 would recommend.

5/5 by Alexandra J. on 03/15/2022

We had been hoping to come here for a while, but we're intimidated by having to wait a long time when it was cold. We decided to come by on a milder winter Monday around 6pm and there was a line of 3-4 parties ahead of us. They do not have a reservation or wait system, you just kind of line up and wait for something of the right size to be available. That being said, the host kept us informed and it moved faster than we thought, overall I think we waited 30 minutes. We were seated at a small two top table and honestly that was the worst part of the place. We had to keep juggling to make everything fit since we wanted to order a lot. But we made it work and it was worth it. I ordered a bottle of wine from the menu that was sold out, but the server brought us a similar bottle and honored the lower price of the bottle we had wanted which was kind. To start they give you some bread, one plain and one with sauce and if the meal had ended there it might have been okay because the bread is that good. Idk how but it is! We ordered the fried zucchini, which was giant and good, fresh and not greasy, but we would have loved to have a sauce as the taste was kind of same same after a bit. Then we had the Penne Arrabiata and the bolognese, both were great. I liked the pasta better on the bolognese, but the flavor of the arrabiata. The real star of the menu however was the veal parm which we had last. SO good. It's pricey, but worth it if you want the splurge. The staff were very friendly and I never felt like I wasn't fancy or cool enough to eat here. It's expensive, but I hope to come back again one day.

😒

I'll start with saying that it's rare I crave pasta.

3/5 by Elle L. on 03/09/2022

I walk passed this place constantly and all notice a long line down the block, figured I give it a try considering I was craving pasta. Wasn't my fave and was really hoping for a creamy white pasta, which they don't have on the menu. Ordered pasta and the chicken parm, both were meh, and sorry to say, but service was horrible. Took almost 20min to get water. The place is super cute inside though!

😍

Best of the best.

1/5 by Joanne F. on 02/27/2022

this place is pretty popular!! We wanted to try it, so got online to wait for a table.Many 'friends' showed up and were consistently permitted to jump the lineand get a table before those of us that had been already waiting We waited for over an hour and finally threw in the towel when they seated a sole dinner who came up after us to a 4 top tableInstead went around the corner to Socarrat for paella and an inviting and respectful welcome. MUCH BETTER: <a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsocarratnyc.com%2F&s=ab5e9e865e8456191e9fa0ae4b79054fdcce854328dd8919c52eced4e7ee98a7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">socarratnyc.com</a>

Absolutely incredible restaurant.

5/5 by Tim R. on 02/26/2022

Veal parm is out of this world. If you go here and don't like it, you should keep that to yourself bc you have shit taste

😍

Food was delicious and authentic.

5/5 by Jae G. on 02/24/2022

Vibe was very chill, no ego type and you can enjoy a wonderful meal in a very cozy location. It takes you back to the 80's & 90's where the focus is the meal and company you are with instead of a big production. Absolutely fav Italian restaurant.

😒

Tasty food, awkwardness due to owner being extremely rude to staff in front of all dinners twice - unprofessional.

3/5 by Aina L on 02/12/2022

We had a lovely dinner, food tasted nice, although would rate it as overpriced. For starter we ordered mixed antipasti - nice but not amazing, wouldn’t class it being worth the price. I had a really beautiful fish of the day with clams and beautiful sauce - really enjoyed it. The 2nd main we had was breaded chicken alla parma - enjoyed it during the first few bites but it was too rich - too much cheese and no vegetables or any sides to go with.
Service was mixed. The wait to order was a little too long but once ordered, timing of the waiter was perfect.
Our experience was interrupted 2 times by the owner being extremely rude to his staff - loudly and in front of all diners. This made us feel awkward but also revolted by how staff was treated. For that reason, I would not want to come back to a restaurant that doesn’t treat staff with respect.

🤮

1/5 by Lindsay F. on 02/06/2022

While I understand Emilio's doesn't take reservations, I thought they might make an exception for a large party of 15 people. No one answered the phone when I called, so I stopped by during the day to ask the host in person. The reservation was a few weeks out, so it wasn't an unreasonable request. But the host was incredibly rude, brushed me aside, told me to "stop by the day of the dinner to ask if it would be possible," and shooed me away. Uh, what? Parties of this size require planning in advance. Either don't take reservations at all, or make an exception for large parties, but don't brush people off with nonsense. It was majorly off-putting, and I'll be sure never to return.

5/5 by Lenny K. on 02/02/2022

Went back today and decided if I really wanted the true experience here then I was going to eat carbs. Had an outstanding meal here. The pasta faglioli could've been the best soup I have ever had in my life. The appetizers of baked clams and cold antipasto were excellent. This also may have been the best chicken Parm I have ever had. The sauce, the chicken, the cheese was so good.For dessert we shared a slice of New York cheesecake, tiramisu, and a cannoli. No complaints. Just hope my blood sugar didn't rise too much lol. But, if you are going to have carbs then this is the place. Oh yeah I forgot to mention how superbly cooked Al Dente was the pasta with puttanesca sauce. And oh yeah, John Franco of the Mets was there again. Full disclosure moment; we were there together with some other friends.

😍

Great Italian from start to finish

5/5 by ConfederateMike on 01/11/2022

Upon entering the door you could feel the authentic atmosphere. A small restaurant in an historic building with food that was siperb. The linguine, spaghetti, and lasagna were all excellent. The cannoli finished it off just right.

🤮

At first everything was going pretty well, until one person

1/5 by Rafael V. on 01/03/2022

At first everything was going pretty well, until one person in our party (let's call her Charlotte) said she didn't really think much of the food. Apparently the waiter overheard her and for some reason he got very mad about it lmao. He asked her two times what she thought of the food and she, out of politeness, said she liked it a lot. He even asked another person in our party what Charlotte thought of the food. It was so obvious that he was trying to be mean, it was laughable. What's even funnier is that the owner was there and I tried to wish him good night and happy new year as we were walking out and he just ignored me. It was a fun experience, at least, but doesn't reflect well on the service offered by this place. (The food was also overpriced in my opinion).

🙂

Was expecting standard red sauce fare.

4/5 by Henry S. on 12/26/2021

Was pleasantly surprised by quality of dishes. Stellar cacio e pepe. The pollo Emilio was also a great pick. Not cheap by any measure, but good value nonetheless. Solid wine to accompany.

😍

We loved the food.

5/5 by A K. on 12/11/2021

I have Italian roots and this reminded me of my Nonna's cooking, and she was a awesome cook! We ordered the Chicken Parm, Mozzarella peppers, and Ravioli Ricotta. Mwah !

😍

Worth a wait

5/5 by midwestwanderer30 on 12/05/2021

We arrived the neighborhood from the airport and were hungry. Hoping to score a great meal we looked on Trip Advisor and stumbled upon this Michelin-starred Italian restaurant. Heeding advice to arrive early, we zoomed over and were the third party waiting to be seated. The atmosphere was perfectly New York, the octopus, ravioli and cheesecake were phenomenal, and the service was confusing.

😍

Expect Great Food for the wait

5/5 by Halie E on 11/30/2021

Emilio’s Ballato 🥰 my second time here and it was even better than the first, it’s truly a frills Italian spot with your meatballs and red sauce. The meatballs were some of the best I’ve had in the city and it made the freezing cold 30 minute wait worth it. The owner greets you on arrival and the whole time it feels like celebrities are walking through the restaurant.

Tips:
-Always expect to wait (your party must be there with you or they’ll give your seat up)
-Don’t expect great service
-Expect amazing food

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
