The price was good, not too cheap, but for the special taste of mozzarella, I will come again at Obika. Probably I'll try the Obika from Rome in Italy, I checked and have also there a location.

On a trip to Milan, one of their branches refused to serve me and my wife, who is black. Customers who were seated fully 20 minutes after us were eating their meals for some time before we gave up. They wouldn't even take our order. The place is run by racists in Milan, and it sounds as though the waitstaff in NY isn't much friendlier, judging from the posts on this site. Perhaps they're imported along with the cheese. I’m trying to work my way through the site’s recommendations close to my office on 57th Street, but will not be trying out Obika.

I thought the food was a little out of range and undersized for an average Midtown Lunch, though it was still tasty. Unless you're rolling Scrooge McDuck style, or on an exp account, it probably isn't the best option. Hey ML, thanks for plugging my photos.
