Wow what an amazing authentic Italian restaurant!! I ended up here with a birthday party for 10 and it could not have been better. We got burrata, salads, and a variety of pastas and other dishes. I was absolutely obsessed with the butternut squash ravioli it was fantastic. The service was so wonderful and we felt very valued as customers. They have a great wine list too. I love supporting a real family restaurant, we met some of the family that owns it and they were truly so warm and kind. My friends and I will definitely be back in the future!

Great bread, decent tuna tartare, and then… the plot twist: a grey carbonara with onions. Yes—grey. With onions. At the very least, put a warning on the menu or just call it what it is: carbONIONara. And when customers complain, replying with “that’s how our chef does it and he’s Italian” is not the flex they think it is.
Overall? A culinary jump scare I didn’t sign up for. Would not recommend, and definitely not going back.

The first time we came here was over 10 years ago and we had such a bad experience, we figured it’s been long enough so let’s give it another shot. Outside of the grumpy old man who greets you at the entrance, who I think is the same one that was there 10 years ago, the service was very pleasant and friendly. The bread is absolutely delicious and the olive oil is good. That’s about it. The Caesar salad is drenched in oil, not even sure what that was. The pizza tasted like microwavable pizza with a fried crust. The Brodo with tortellini was average, perfectly OK and definitely needed the extra Parmesan and pepper added to it. The orecchiette was good, but tasted more like mac & cheese. The Bronzino was fine, unfortunately they do not debone the fish so that was a fun challenge. The wine was perfectly fine as well. It was a very average and underwhelming experience. The tables are right next to each other so you have about 6 inches of space between you and the person at the next table, which unfortunately is standard for some NYC restaurants. I certainly will not go back and will not recommend this restaurant. It wasn’t a horrible experience. It was just very average. and I believe it is a popular place because it is relatively inexpensive compared to other NYC restaurants. But you get what you pay for.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to dine at in NY! I have had so many memorable experiences here and the staff is lovely. The food is truly authentic and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking out a great authentic Italian meal and a cozy atmosphere.
Ps.. the cheesecake is out of this world

OMG. This is the gem of all gems. This now tops my list as the greatest homemade pasta in NY. This is not your usual mediocre overpriced Tribeca spot. This is outstanding and I’m telling everyone!
Get the homemade bolognese pasta and/or the lasagna and you’ll taste flavors you’ve never tasted outside of Italy. Generous outdoor seating on a warm night has you feeling like you’re in Florence. Cannot wait to come back for their desserts and more of their homemade pastas and fluffy bread.
5 stars!!!!!

Lovely wait staff but the food is average at best and because of that extremely overpriced. My bruschetta was uninspired plain and unseasoned, the chicken dish adorned with a wilted and slightly mushy arugula salad. I would say either the chef or the menu needs enlivening – perhaps both. Overall a dull experience.

Always wanted to stop by and check out the place. We had some fried calamari and kind of Burrata salad which was fresh and tasty. For the main dish we ordered seafood pasta and ravioli and both of them were amazing! Atmosphere and service is great as well. Price is little overpriced as like in every restaurant in NYC but good thing is that you will get quality food

Comfortable outdoor lunch seating and service. Friendly and attentive service. Carpaccio was very nice and would order again. Artichoke and zucchini was a bit mushy but tasty. Mushroom soup good but chicken pillard was a tough texture. Excellent fresh bread!

Amazing so glad I stumbled in. The wine list is extensive I had an amazing Nebbiolo but you cant go wrong here. The Menu is an encyclopedic tour of Italy.
The olive oil is so good it should be a drink on the menu & the Lasagna fugetabouit.

Solid date night with the homies. 8 of us made reservations, brought wine (our friend is a wine rep and set it up) and had delicious food. Only one of us were disappointed in our meal.
I got one of the specials – the pappardelle with duck Ragu. It was a nice helping. Not a giant plate and not a skimpy one. Perfect amount. It was good, but didn’t knock my socks off. My buddy got the same and was amazed.
Wife got the butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter sauce. She enjoyed her meal and my bite of her food was on point.
The rest of the squad got the special ricotta gnocchi with truffle oil. My bite of that was exquisite. Light and delicious. Cannelloni (stuffed with Ricotta and spinach) looked good. The carbonara was exactly what it should have been. Creamy, bacony and great.
The letdown was the spaghetti and turkey meatballs. My buddy had maybe 3 bites. I took some to see what all the hate was about and agreed that the flavor of the sauce was bland n disappointing. The meatballs were good but needed more spice. Every pasta dish could’ve been a tad more Al dente, but that’s just my “Been to Italy boujee side” talkin.
All in all, a great experience. The wine was flowing. The conversations were going. And the service was top notch. Shout out to Alfonso, who was the best waiter we could’ve asked for.
