For pasta served from a cheese wheel, I was expecting a lot more flavor. The pasta is a bit too aldente for my taste, but it's not bad for "homemade"? Pasta, if it is...
Tiramisu was okay. it didn't blow my mind at all.

A real hidden jem. Each dish we ate was excellent, authentic, and well served.
We will come again.

We came here for a birthday celebration to try the Instagram famous cheese wheel pasta. We were seated outside which - even in the rain - was nice and warm. The pasta was ok (4/5), salads were great (5/5) and the service very slow.

First time here, it was great! Of course had to try the Casio e Pepe which was good. Had the octopus as an appetizer; was the best octopus I've had. Melted in my mouth. Definitely will be back to try more on the menu.

Came here last week and was seated inside. When coming here, the main dish to try is the cacio e pepe that is made in the cheese wheel, so that is exactly what we ordered. It was good! Nothing amazing but I did like it and felt my portion was a good size. Their wine list is also very good. It was a cool place to try, I’m glad I got the experience!

Amazing staff, amazing food only thing I didn't like was that the receipts were handwritten so I couldn't scan them into my bill splitting app so easy but other than that everything was awesome

Cacio e Pepe: selling point was the tonarelli (you CANNOT find this pasta outside of Rome even in Italy , let alone New York) the pasta was good, cheese wheel was a nice presentation. However the half sized peppercorns in the pasta was too much. Coarse would be better but huge half size chunks are put in there. Lastly, the price… $25 before tax and tip. It’s just pasta and not worth the price but happy to have tried it.

Amex only - but there's an ATM. We went for the classic Cacio e pepe and it was worth it. A laid back atmosphere with college students abounding the service was well paced. I had a glass of wine, my daughter and I split the arugula salad, and each had the Cacio e pepe. All of it was everything we wanted it to be. Truly, for the price, of $22, we had a bagel, lox breakfast platter in times square for the same price - so worth it. Portion wasn't huge but we didn't leave hungry.

We had a great meal and good times here with friends. It's a cute place, the servers are very nice and the food is very tasty. Of course we had to order the cacio e pepe, prepared tableside and it was super! We also had the vongole linguini which was good but...the clams were a little large for our taste, and there weren't many. Still tasted good though. We also had a pasta dish with beet 'cream' I cannot remember the name of, but it was really good! Overall a fun experience.

We rented the back room for party and it was set up beautifully. We got a variety of “family style” appetizers and a choice between 4 entrees. The appetizers were probably my favorite part, but I wouldn’t call the portions shareable. For my main I got the Orecchiette and I feel like it still needed 2 minutes more to be considered Al dente. It looks like a really nice date night spot and others loved their dishes.
