Delicious classic Italian food with fresh pastas, salads and secondi of fish and steak. The Playing an Italian waiter but my brother (a regular) says he is actually Italian! Branzino was yummy, had a thin crust prosciutto pizza and we shared a grilled salmon. All fresh and good. The wine "special" was a Slovenian white and it would have been nice to know it was $22 per glass before we enjoyed it! Otherwise, all good. Pleasant outdoor shed across from a Fire Station which added a lot of color to the evening (might drive some people crazy ..)

Wow. Such a cozy place, rustic, intimate. The food was amazing. Best I've ever had at any restaurant in my 38 years. True traditional Italian. Not the Italian-American we are used to. They make their pasta in house, as well as everything else being made to order. The red wine on special was divine. There were so many points for each dish where we just sat in silence and stared at our plates in a trance. Each bite was savoured, and rightfully so. Pure perfection from beginning to end. Our waiter was wonderful too! His Italian accent was so thick and beautiful I wanted to put him in my pocket so he can narrate my entire life.

Excellent food when I came here for a private event. This place has got its bread and olive oil RIGHT, with the perfect saltiness and chewiness on the bread. The arugula and walnut salad was my fav dish, it was light, nutty and the dressing was done perfectly. Salmon was also a hit with the crispy and well seasoned skin (eat it w the skin), and got chicken, pasta, potatoes, and asparagus as well all of which were very good if you add a tad bit more salt to it. Berry salad for dessert with the fresh mint was a nice final cleanser.

Such a fantastic Italian spot! The restaurant is very open but has a warm inviting feeling. All the food was delicious and everything felt authentic and handmade. It was delicious! I’d definitely recommend a reservation because it can get very busy.

Great food with even greater service! Emanuele makes everyone feel so welcome. I love coming here with friends and always make a point to bring my parents when they visit each year. The lasagna is my personal favorite but you really can’t go wrong with any of the dishes. I’m very lucky to have this spot in my neighborhood!

I went for a party yesterday and the vibe and energy of the server was great. The hospitality was great. Was the food to die for, ehh. Even though the party menu might be different for any regular person who dines in, I just wasnt a fan. But it was filling portions, very fresh, and light. The starter I had was the meatballs, they were soft and the sauce was great, but if it had a tad bit more salt I know the flavors would be showing more. Then, the main course I had was the Cacio e Pepe and there was a lot of cheese that it gave the sauce this grit I wasnt fond of. But the pasta was amazing in that dish, loved the texture. Lastly, the bread pudding was nice, the sauce couldve been sweeter. It was overall, an okay meal. The drinks menu they handed just wasnt doing it for me, I’m not a mezcal fan but I just couldn’t find a drink I was interested in besides the wine. It was a nice experience, the staff catered to everyone’s needs, food portions great, wine selections great. If you want a classy Manhattan Italian experience for a cute price come here.

"If you want to feel like you're in Italy, this is the place you must go! The food is delicious, the prices are affordable for everyone, and the wine list is amazing. I had the Montepulciano Emidio Pepe 95, which is super hard to find in the city. Thank you for the experience!

We stopped in tonight while we are in the City to visit the Christmas Markets and see decorations, and it was a fantastic dinner! The food was the best Italian we have had in the US, and our waiter Emmanuel made us feel like family! The gluten-free Oreccheitti was impeccable. I highly recommend making a reservation! You will not regret your dining experience!

I popped in at the recommendation of a friend and sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly, thoughtful, and engaging. She was from South America and we chatted about our mutual experiences. The lighting was warm and the place had a cozy and comfortable vibe.
The food was delicious! The portions were ample and the textures and flavors were satisfying down to the last bite.
Probably the most rewarding aspect of the experience was the service. I met the manager, I think his name was Emanuele, who was from Sicily. So kind and positive. It made the evening quite enchanting!
I'll definitely be back soon.
Grazie for the experience ✨️
