Very cute date night spot. We were greeted when we came in by the bartender. Small bar area but reminds me of Cheers. Our waiter was Dante(I think). He was VERY nice and made great recommendations. The bruschetta was fresh and oh so delicious. My friend and I both got the lasagna. I will say we waited what seemed like forever for it but you can tell they make it to order. It was worth the wait! It came out hot and flavorful. I had been wanted lasagna and this did not disappoint.

We made reservations for NYE at 3pm. They were very accommodating and it was easy to reserve. We also had a spot right in front as it becomes a tow zone at 5pm. The lasagna is the benchmark for lasagna everywhere. It honestly was the best lasagna that I ever tasted. I also enjoyed a couple holiday drinks they had on the menu.

I am on a quest to find the best chicken fettuccine alfredo in the city, this one was good. The chicken was grilled to perfection, nicely charred, the pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was plentiful (a little thin/soupy) however there was a super strong taste of oregano or some other herb that isn’t traditionally used in alfredo sauce. So I wouldn’t rate this as one of the best but definitely satisfying!

After many years we can to visit this restaurant and we were somewhat disappointed.
It looked like this restaurant did not have any work done for decades. However, the attemp ro decorate foe the Valentine’s day ended up being funny – red hearts all over! Mix of porcelain and plastic plates, pressed aluminum cutlery, butter in a plastic tubs, a few ol8ves inside of the plastic tub with unknown oily substance, cramped rigid furniture….what else….by now you got my gist.
But the food saved the outing. Calamari dish was plentiful and tasty, lemon veal had too much flower in it but with a good capers-lemon sauce and accompanied by a grocery chopped spinach from a bag flavored with garlic (this was a big disappointment), chicken and potatoes dish was way to greasy with big chunks of flavorless green pepper. It was a weird feeling of the food, which wants to be good or better, but not quite making over the threshold.
Selection of wines- simply not good.
Service- “where?”
This was a poor overall ratio of value to quality.

Our food was delicious, the service was great and we had the perfect night to dine outside for the last night of the season. We always love dining here and this time was outstanding!

This is slowly becoming my favorite italian restaurant!! I love it so much. We’ve been on Sundays and they have street dining open. Everything is delicious and the service is amazing. I can eat their bruschetta everyday!

RUN don’t walk !!!!!. A hidden Gem that is a must try.
Best lasagna I’ve had from an Italian restaurant thus far. The strawberry lemon drops are mixed to perfection (flavorful and strong). The staff are always friendly. The decor is giving homely yet cutesy. Good vibes. Great prices. Great staff. Delicious food.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service, food, and atmosphere!!! My waitress Valerie and the server Dante were so kind to my family and I. Rigatoni Vodka, Lasagna, and Baked Calms were a 10/10. The service was great, very attentive and working hard throughout the night. We deeply appreciate making our dining experience more enjoyable throughout a Friday night rush. Will definitely be back at some point.

My friend and I had high hopes for Bacchanalia. I have to say that we were pretty disappointed. The food didn’t hit the mark. The fried calamari dipping sauce didn’t seem to be very tasty compared to other places we have been to. The crispiness of the fried calamari was good though. We both were very disappointed in the baked clams as they all had a ton of sand in them. We have been to others places none of them had sand like Bacchanalia did. I did like the eggplant parmigiana. The service seemed to be very slow considering that we were the only customers in the restaurant. The overall atmosphere / ambiance was pretty good considering the holiday season.

Went on a sunday night. there were maybe 2 tables occupied. while we were there another 2 showed up. for a smallish place, we had plenty of room. Service was good. No issues.
Lasagna was really good as advertised. But of the 3 orders our table received, one looked like the pictures I’ve seen and the other two were distinctly different, taller, more cheesy. Still, likely some of the best lasagna I’ve tasted.
Spaghetti marinara sauce had a fennel taste and smell that turned my daughter off. Linguine with mussels in white sauce were solidly good. mussels themselves were decent. Not great but good. I cant find great mussels anymore. calamari i felt was excellent. garlic was used generously in the dishes we had.
Overall a nice night for a suburban family making a trip into the city to try good food!
