I rarely write negative reviews, but this experience deserves one.
First, the pricing is outrageous. $25 for a basic spinach salad is excessive even by NYC standards. Unfortunately, the quality didn’t justify it. The eggplant parmigiana was extremely bready — overwhelmingly so — and lacked flavor. It was heavy, dry, and simply not good.
What really crossed the line, though, was the billing.
They added a 3.99% “credit card fee” at checkout. Under New York’s February 2024 law, businesses cannot add a surcharge on top of the posted menu price for credit card payments. The listed price must reflect the credit card price, or they can offer a cash discount instead. Adding a separate fee at the register is not compliant.
To make matters worse, they also applied that credit card fee to the tip amount — which is even more troubling.
When I raised the issue, the owner responded by saying they “don’t have to take credit cards at all.” That completely misses the point. The issue isn’t whether you accept cards — it’s whether you follow pricing disclosure laws and charge customers properly.
Between the inflated prices, disappointing food, and questionable billing practices, I won’t be returning.
Proceed with caution.

Went for our Anniv dinner. First time here. The wait staff was outstanding and the food was plentiful. I had the Veal special with peppers and onions. The veal could be cut with my fork. Wife had stuffed shrimp which she said were excellent. Pistachio ice cream for dessert. We will return.

The cocunut shrimp served with an orange ginger dipping sauce. Nicely cooked with the perfect crisp. However, the soup of the day spinach, egg, and chicken broth was too salty. The atmosphere was great and the Italian music was very nice. They serve a big portion of salad. I loved the warm, crunchy, and sliced bread with butter. Good service, nice big windows that open outwards, a family owned business with over 30 years on the same location.

The food was not what I was hoping for. I heard from friends it was amazing. It was good. There is nothing on the website that says gratitude in cash only. That was very upsetting. The one old AC or ventilator was in need of cleaning and so was the ceiling next to it. Unfortunately I don’t think will be going back, which I was really hoping for. Maybe because it was Valentine’s day, the food was not as good as I heard it was.

Food, just ok. Meatballs steam coming off the top, cold in the middle.
Entree was nice, but you could tell it was a frozen piece of fish.
Worst of all, they dont let you know until your check comes 4% if using card & tip MUST be cash! That all should be like other restaurants & on the menu.
Never again!

The eggplant Dishes are amazing . I highly recommend any one of them.
The owner has been there for many years and the food shows why.
It was the end of the night and as we were leaving the owner and staff was outside sitting around the table and it reminded me of Sicily.
Love this place.

All delicious food truly chef quality. Pasta Fagioli, Lentil soup, Shrimp Francese. Bread is fresh, crunchy and full of flavor. Finished off with Lemon Mascarpone. A truly perfect meal for us. Bonus points for streaming romantic music in all Italian. Highly recommend!

Service is terrible! 45 minutes to get an appetizer which was terrible. It was cold and lacked taste. 1 person taking food orders. They charged us 38 for each martini. To add insult they didn’t even offer free coffee or dessert for the terrible service. 3.99 surcharge for credit cards and tips are required to be in cash (I hope they claim the income). I would never go back to this place they are so many better places to eat in my opinion like Dennys.

Friend and I had my favorite the chicken focaccia with the house dressing and we were both disappointed that they got new cook or they changed recipe for the dressing it was watery and had no flavor, the chicken was flavorless as well. This is a go to for us and hope they go back to way it was.
