Anyone been to Puttanesca on 56th?

Trying to come up with a place to eat after a show at City Center tonight. Any thoughts on this place? Alternatives?

I like this place. I came here before running a half marathon for carbo loading. Solid food at a great price. Not the best Italian, but not bad at all.

Go for it. It's loud, but they'll do a half portion of pasta, then try the branzino, boned at your table. For lower impact try Ralph's across Ninth Ave. I was ready to hate Puttanesca, but it was good.
