"Excellent about the details. Roommate and I are industry workers in the City so take that as it is, we are very forgiving but harder to impress I think. Portions are shockingly large and the food is top-notch. Simple and short menu, everything 's executed perfectly. Pricing is super reasonable, we shared 3 first/app courses, a pasta, and a dessert, and got a very tasty and well-priced bottle of wine (very reasonable, about a 2x markup from retail) and two afterdinner pours (1 fernet, 1 port), tab $205 before tip. Bread was amazing, and I took solid pasta leftovers home to our other roomie. We left pretty stuffed. Octopus with beans was absolutely delicious, smoky and earthy and tomato-y. Carpaccio was salty and rich and spicy from the arugula. Gnocchi was creamy and fresh with the peas green beans, could have used a tad more salt acid but not enough to make it unlovable. Pappardelle was perfectly executed and sticky toffee pudding was phenomenal. Space is perfect. So many nice touches that are so subtle to help everything go smoothly. Comfortable, casual-fancy, not too loud, very ... easy. Service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. We felt welcomed and cared for, and the food was just divine. Qotn: this pasta......it tastes like...home. like home feels. Like grandma, and comfort, and happiness. Yep...that 's it."
