Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Their selection of appetizers and main courses are tasty and fresh, you can taste the quality in the products. Make sure to leave room for dessert, you got to try their sorbet and chocolate cake, next time I'm going also for the tiramisu. Highly recommending this restaurant.

What a colossal disappointment. Decided to give this spot a try because we were in the neighborhood and looked inviting as we walked by. Very nicely done up on the outside and the ambience was lovely inside as well. Staff were all excellent, welcoming and pleasant but unfortunately that's about it for the positives. The biggest issue of all was the prices are absolutely outrageous for the amount of food that you get. I ordered the cappellaci and for $26 I got literally 8 pieces of pasta that were as big as a quarter each. My friend got the octopus that was so salty he couldn't eat more than half of it. The 2 others at the table got the truffle risotto which cost $38, was also an incredibly small portion and tasted like it had come out of a box. Without the truffle added on (which is charged extra at market rate) it would have tasted like plain gruel. We hoped to redeem the lackluster meal with some dessert but that only made the experience worse. Quite possibly the worst tiramisu I have ever had. Could only taste sugar. It was so exceedingly sweet that my jaw started to ache. I usually hate writing bad reviews especially when the people at the restaurant are courteous but this meal unfortunately had absolutely no redeeming qualities. Close to $400 spent between 4 of us and we had to go eat again after dinner because none of us were even close to being full.

I am originally from modena and this is currently the only restaurant in Manhattan offering foods from my hometown. Although the butternut tortelli were closed like tortellini, everything Elle about them was great. The waitress was incredibly professional and other dishes on three menu also very well done. I also loved the menu. Anyone thinking this is not a great place for Italian food clearly doesn't know anything about Italian food.
