Amazing place with authentic Italian food and great service! You feel like you're visiting Italy and welcomed as a guest to their family. Desserts and coffee were also excellent. Such a great evening for my husband's birthday!
The environment is warm and cozy. The food is always fresh and delicious!! The staff and owner treats you like family. It’s a wonderful place to relax and have a delectable glass of wine and tasty food. If you’re a tequila lover like me, this is the best place for sipping on the best tequilas.
As soon as I came in, I felt like a part of their family. It was like dining in someone’s backyard, sincerely intimate and intentional. I could’ve had everything from their menu and it still would’ve been amazing!! Lovely place to sip on a glass of wine, as well as to have a three course meal with friends and family. My warmest recommendation!
Great place to sit at the bar for Happy Hour before a show and enjoy 10 cocktails and tapas. The espresso martinis are frothy and potent. Delicious! The meatballs are tender and flavorful, with plenty of sauce for dipping. The bread with olive oil and balsamic is plentiful, too. We also shared a cubed watermelon salad with feta, arrugula, olives, and jalapeños. Refreshing! Service is attentive, too.
Fantastic experience. Andrea and family were excellent hosts! The food experience was very good. The gnocchi was a great choice, creamy melt in your mouth. Tiramisu for dessert was fantastic and to top it off a nice espresso. Nice & quiet atmosphere. There was a larger group behind me laughing and enjoying themselves!
10/10 when I tell you everything is made fresh and from scratch. So flavorful and delightful. It’s one of my favorite places now to eat. They have vegan options and as a vegan with many non vegan friends this will be my go to pasta spot to enjoy and have some wine, drinks, and food with friends.The atmosphere is wonderful and so homey. Andrea and Paolo were so kind and wonderful. Everyone there treats you like family and the hospitality is amazing. Everyone will leave with full stomach and an empty plate! Sooooo so good! Highly recommended for any kind of gathering!
Really wonderful experience there. It was the best restaurant we actually ate at in our time in New York City. Our servers name was Andrea and he was like an Italian grandfather. Always coming over to make sure you getting enough and super sweet. They made my daughter feel special for her 18th birthday. The food was amazing and high-quality ingredients. I loved my lobster ravioli. And the tiramisu was outstanding. We enjoyed the calamari and the fettuccine Alfredo as well. I just wish we had bigger stomach so we could eat more. Everything was so good. I recommend seeing this tiny little gem if you’re visiting New York City.
Delicious food. One of a few Italian places that didn't taste like Italian-American food. Highlight was the cod in a tomato sauce.
