Celebrated Valentine’s day here with my partner and we had such a nice experience. Service was great and the ambiance was perfect for a date night or just a nice dinner! Highly recommend the meatballs, they are to die for. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. Seating was close as it is not a large space, but it did not cause problems and it wasn’t hard to hear or have a conversation. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing dinner at this Italian restaurant in New York! Every single dish was delicious from start to finish. The appetizers alone were unforgettable. The mussels in white sauce were absolutely divine, and the broth was so flavorful it was honestly the kind of sauce you want to sip with a spoon (we saved some to dip our bread ). The fried mozzarella was also a standout with the best cheese pull, perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey inside.
Everything that followed was just as delicious.
The spaghetti and meatballs was classic and comforting, the chicken parm was perfectly crispy and cheesy, and the frutti de mare was packed with fresh seafood and flavor. The black linguini seafood pasta was absolutely a standout, so rich and beautifully prepared.
On top of the food, the service made the night even better thanks to our server, Kevin. Lu, the manager, was truly wonderful and so accommodating, especially with a last minute visit on a very busy Valentine’s Day dinner night. She made us feel so welcomed and taken care of.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable Italian meal in NYC!

Took my partner here for Valentine’s Day, the team here did a wonderful job of setting an appropriate dining environment. The lighting was intimate, and even though we sat close to other patrons, they weren’t so close that we could hear their conversations. We were able to hear each other just fine though. The staff were very intuitive and run a very tight ship.
The meatballs are a must for a starter, and use pecorino as part of the blend. Very tender with a flavorful sauce!
Our rotini and linguini were very tasty, and our portions were enough that we still had room for dessert. The tiramisu is a MUST!
Definitely coming back for a special occasion.

Absolutely the best Italian food I have ever had in my life! I will never look at Italian cuisine the same way again. Their meatballs were unbelievably delicious the meat literally melted in my mouth. The pasta is all homemade, and you can taste the love in every bite; it was so soft and fresh that it practically melted as well.
And the tiramisu? Amazing. Truly the perfect finish to an incredible meal.
On top of the phenomenal food, the service was outstanding. They treated us so well and even sang happy birthday to me, which made the night extra special. I 100% recommend this place to everyone. If you’re looking for authentic, unforgettable Italian food, this is it!

This upper west side Italian restaurant is a real gem. It has friendly owners that are more than willing to guide you through their menu. They restaurant is known for their meatballs but it has so much more to offer. I did start with meatballs with marinara sauce. I was really impressed with the meatballs and the accompanying marinara sauce. It was so flavorful, a great start to the meal. I next had the rigatoni alla vodka which really surprised me. The vodka sauce was as good a sauce as I’ve ever had. No meal with me is complete without dessert which was a home run. The homemade tiramisu was a smooth and creamy delicious experience. Please make sure to try the focaccia bread and a glass of the chianti. The restaurant does have outdoor seating.

I’m from NY but now live out of town. Whenever I’m back I make sure to visit since I think this is the best neighborhood Italian on the UWS.
It’s a warm and cozy place, with gracious and hospitable owners who are truly hosts. The food has always been consistently excellent. I’ve never had anything but a great meal.
They have a small and inviting bar if you prefer to dine there instead of a table. It’s part of what makes it an UWS “local”.

As noted by others, underrated — food was really good and the service even better. The owner is generally around, which helps create a staff that seems happy and attentive. The food is rarely anything less than excellent although the desserts are not their strong suit. A neighborhood favorite and a place I will return to again (and again).

Stellar service, a delightful dining experience! There were 11 of us and as you might imagine we sampled quite a few dishes and all were excellent. I highly recommend any of the homemade pastas!! My personal favorites was the squid ink pasta with calamari. The tricolor salad was delicious as well. Great meatballs as an appetizer.

We had a great experience here. The chicken parm was outstanding. The service was top shelf. I had a special request with my drink and our server accommodated perfectly.
Very impressive. Will definitely be back.
