"Not your typical neighborhood Italian restaurant. Their regular menu and specials give an interesting choice of what turned out to be sophisticated and very good food. Of course, you pay for this. However given the numerous restaurants in their price range, many of which dispense mediocre food, you will do well here. Service is professionl. The dining room is small and fills up early. Good wine list."

Food is excellent. Spaghetti and meatballs are outstanding. Also, the fried zucchini flower is wonderful for an appetizer. View menu

The food was excellent. Service wasn't bad, wasn't great. The decor is quirky, but it works for them. Overall a little overpriced, but not egregious for NYC.

Would go back again. Everything was prepared with care, flavors were good, service was fine. pumpkin tortelli was good, but not quite satisfying... Just short of what I was hoping for.

Truly a very special restaurant. Cozy but vibrant, this is an amazing neighborhood find that really knocks the cover off the ball in terms of food quality. I would highly recommend it! View menu

The menu is basic but there are plenty of specials and the food is great. The homemade pastas are outstanding! Nice place for a business lunch where the noise level is low and you can have a conversation without distraction.

The food is great, some items even amazing. The owner is very attentive and watches the floor for the slightest hint of a customer need. The restaurant itself is very small and the tables are close together. The wine we had was delicious! It is a wonderful Italian restaurant and we like to relax and enjoy the experience.
