Reviews
I ordered the rack of lamb, it was cooked to perfection. The absolute perfect temperature
My husband ordered the spaghetti Bolognese. He loved it and we shared a lasagna. Seriously the best lasagna we’ve ever had!
The atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling over the top, making it perfect for both date nights and dinners with friends. The food is excellent — fresh ingredients & well-balanced flavors. The seafood dishes stand out, and everything tastes authentic and thoughtfully prepared. Service is attentive, professional, and welcoming. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations.
Overall, a reliable and high-quality spot for Italian cuisine. Definitely worth a visit.
We loved everything from the moment we walked in. All of us truly enjoyed every detail from the drinks to dessert. The service was excellent as always, and the cozy atmosphere with warm lighting made the experience feel extra special and memorable.
We shared a variety of appetizers and entrées, and everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back!
We started with cocktails and they were smooth, balanced, and easy to drink—nothing harsh, nothing too sweet. Just really well made. For appetizers, the meatballs were a total comfort hit, and the roasted octopus was tender and full of flavor. But honestly, the real star was the house bread made live—served warm, soft inside, slightly crisp outside, and perfect with olive oil. Simple, but unforgettable. Don’t skip it.
For entrées, everything landed: the pasta alla vodka was rich and satisfying, the rib eye steak came out medium with great peppercorn flavor, the roasted chicken was juicy, and the gnocchi caprese was light and comforting.
Huge shoutout to our server Jarrod Thomas—he was so nice, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Perfect timing, great energy, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. They even surprised us with a birthday dessert for my friend, which was such a thoughtful touch.
If you’re deciding whether to come here: do it. Come hungry, order the bread, trust the cocktails, and let the service take care of the rest. We’ll definitely be back to try more.
However- the quality of a restaurant is known by its consistency in ensuring each dish is flavorful- not just a few. We ordered the veal shank in risotto, and the lobster fettuccine. Both were mid. They didn’t add bread crumbs to the lobster fettuccine. It had a tomato and parsley base- and the flavors were missing.
Overall- I have been to better Italian restaurants in nyc. I would skip this one.
We arrived with a reservation and were seated at a cramped corner table tucked beside a large private party. The noise was chaotic—like dining inside a speaker. When we asked our waiter to move, he told us to “ask the hostess” instead of handling it himself. Eventually, the manager stepped in and relocated us to a much better spot where we could actually hear each other.
Once things settled, the experience improved. The roasted octopus starter was just okay—nothing to write home about. The Cacio e Pepe with truffle had great flavor but was a bit too oily. The Gimlet was the standout—perfectly balanced. My friends enjoyed their salad and risotto, so the food wasn’t the issue.
Overall? The meal was fine, but the service and seating left a sour note. Not a disaster, just not the polished Italian experience the reviews make it out to be.
