We were really in for a treat and had no idea! Unassuming on the outside, quaint and dark with charming instrumental music inside – and goodness how delicious.

The best kept secret in Murray Hill. The table setting was elegant, and the staff anticipated our every need. The atmosphere was great, and the tables were not on top of each other. The food is prepared fresh and well plated. Be prepared to take some food home because they give you a lot. If you do not go and experience the good food and atmosphere, it is your loss. I will return to experience other servings.

I can’t believe how many times we drove by this place and never knew it was there! This restaurant is a true GEM! My husband and I went this past Friday and was blown away! Each course had us wanting more but no way we could finish a plate with such large portions which was amazing! Definitely recommend starting with an appetizer portion of their house made pasta, the noodles were decadent and held flavor beautifully. You seriously can’t go wrong with any of their entrees! We tried the Marsala (divine) and the Caprese (Fresh and flavorful) each entree does come with a salad as well which will be served before your entree. For dessert, we got the Chocolate Mousse which is large enough to share, and OMG we both were in heaven! We seriously can’t wait to go back!

From the inspiration of “The Menu” (2023)… kidding, not at all scary or gruesome, but it’s that same level of personal care and service, exclusive charm, deliciousness and classiness. We were really in for a treat and had no idea! Unassuming on the outside, quaint and dark with charming instrumental music inside – and goodness how delicious. Portion sizes are generous and tasty. Bring an empty stomach. And please make reservations, sans kids.

Wow, Wow, Wow… best pasta this side of the Atlantic! Although the wait for our food was on the extreme side, IT WAS WORTH IT! Yes, all six dishes were perfectly and evenly temperature hot and delicious. Not one dish was mediocre or cold or warm. It was magical to have the perfectly heated pasta dish. All the flavors came through.

Took 2 hours for my wife and I to have dinner and dessert. Menu was confusing, plating made no sense. At least we can say we tried it, but we won’t be back. We know a few people who enjoyed it. Maybe it was an off night. But considering the price, first impressions are important.

The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t something I’d recommend. Although they tried to explain the menu, it was still very confusing. Pricey options, but you do get a lot of food. I was hoping when I made reservations that it was a quiet romantic atmosphere, but while we were sitting by a table they had a guy that would not shut up he was so loud during their whole conversation… not the restaurants fault but still not enjoyable. It was friday so I I understand that they were busy but it took a while it seemed to be tended to. I was hesitant to get dessert but thought why not…we got the mouse and it was tasty but nothing to look at, they plopped it on a small plate I think it could have a came with some chocolate drizzle or a couple strawberries not just a plop in the middle of a plate lol. Im disappointed we didn’t have a better experience because we were referred by someone who really enjoys it.

My “fav” restaurant for a number of reasons. The food is great, the portions unbelievable, the staff awesome and the atmosphere laid back and private We enjoy our dinners there. There is no rush you get to enjoy your meal and taking time to have conversations with your dining partners. Great chef, great awesome fantastic staff and I can’t wait to go back again. Than u all ever so much

I finally had the pleasure of dining here for our 5 year anniversary and it was exceptional. You must have reservations and it is an adult only establishment, thus making it the ideal place for an intimate dining experience with your significant other. We started off with a bottle of prosecco to toast to ‘us’ since they have an extensive wine list and cellar. They have baked in house bread sticks to nosh on while you look over the menu. It took us some time to decide as everything sounded incredible, and their staff is more than happy to help by explaining the dishes and the many options you have. They make 3 different pastas in house and bake fresh bread that arrives once you have made your selections. We chose to have our pasta dishes as appetizer portions which the Chef recommends come out first. To say they were decadent is an understatement. These portions are very generous and as such we decided to only eat half in order to have room for the rest of what was to come. The next to arrive were the salads which accompany the mains and you can select the mixed greens with vinaigrette or from their other offerings. We chose to have the fresh spring mix. For the grand finale I decided on the veal for and my beau had the chicken, both prepared in a lemon sauce. It was perfection. Both plates had 3 pieces and we each brought 2 home with us along with the other half of our pasta. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert, but we had enough food for another meal which tasted just as fantastic when reheated with care. This was a wonderful experience that I recommend anyone celebrating something special try out or even just because you enjoy really great Italian food.
