"Owner Dominique Hand renovated a beautiful room and manager Danieli just staffed kitchen with chef from Sicily, this is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant. During the summer Dominique brought fresh herbs and vegetables from his Brooklyn garden for the salads. The pasta is made in house. We enjoyed live guitar on Thursday evening. The bar is regularly crowded with regulars including actors, writers, journalists, musicians, FBI agents and foodies. A colorful, diverse Brooklyn crowd with great food in a comfortable room large enough for groups, private conversation, couples and children.Vegetarian options: Both Eggplant parm and eggplant tower excellent. Many pastas including pesto and norma available.Kid-friendliness: Many families enjoy dinner here.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on street level with open floor plan."
