We researched a good restaurant in Little Italy in hopes to find something amazing AND WE DID! Not only does it claim to be the oldest Italian restaurant in the US it’s also amazing. We went with four of us and we all enjoyed what we had. While the restaurant was a little older, it added to the historic piece of the restaurant. The staff was friendly and we can’t stop talking about how yummy the food was.

Hello! I came here for my birthday on July 30th, and me and my fiancé, did not enjoy the food or service that much. First, we ordered an appetizer which was supposed to be garlic bread and greens with parmesan cheese. Look at the picture. We were served only two pieces of the most thinnest and crunchiest pieces of toast I’ve ever had in my life. It literally hurt to bite into it because of how hard it was. I was pissed we payed $22 just for that. It wasn’t even garlic bread wither. Second, I ordered the lasagna. It was alright! It was super cheesy, which I love, but there was barely any tomato sauce on it, it was mainly just cheese. And Third, my finace ordered the rice with chicken broth. This order doesn’t come with chicken already, he payed extra for that. But if you ever order this meal, make sure you order chicken with it as well, because who the heck is gonna fill up on that amount of rice? He said it wasn’t very tasty, and the chicken tasted BURNT on the seared parts. I even tasted it myself, it straight up was burnt. (This is irrelevant to the food or service, but we also were the only brown people in the restaurant and felt very out of place lol).

I love the atmosphere of the place. Authentic, old Italian restaurant. Maybe I had bad luck that day and it might also been due to my choice of meal but my experience wasn’t what I had hoped for. I had Bruscetta and Tortellini a la Panna. The dressing of the salad with the Bruscetta was too vinegary for my taste and the taste of the overall dish was not to my liking. I did enjoy the Tortellini a la Panna and I appreciate freshly made pasta but I expected a more balanced taste. It’s a rather heavy dish that has a dominant cream taste. I would recommend to pick other dishes. The food itself was still good but paired with the inattentive service, I didn’t enjoy my evening there. I got the impression that the staff was not in a good mood and that simply didn’t meet my expectation. As I already said, it might have been just a bad day too go and a choice of meal that doesnt do justice to the otherwise great chef but I can’t speak for that. As for me, I’m glad I went. I really enjoyed taking a look around.

Very nice spot to eat with friendly staff. The food was amazing. I had the escargot as an appetizer and lamb for dinner with a glass of Rosè. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for a nice place to dine.

Such a great experience dining here!!! We went because Atlas Obscura recommended it as the literal oldest continually running Italian restaurant in the entire United States. We had high expectations, after all, restaurants tend to have a pretty high turnover rate. We were not disappointed. Vibes were exactly what we expected, the servers were friendly and available, the menu had almost too many options to choose from, and the cherry on top was all the old Italian locals hanging out by the bar – it made you wonder for how long they had been frequenting this establishment. We got the rack of lamb and lasagna, both were absolutely incredible. For dessert we had the cannoli and the creme caramel, both also exquisite. Fresh food, realistic prices for the city, and an amazing experience that you won’t forget at an historic establishment.

Delicious food and quality products. The host was extremely friendly and the server polite. They seemed short staffed, having only two servers on in the main dining room. I gave 4 stars as the service was good but not great, likely because of the limited staff scheduled. I’d definitely go back for the food. Yum!

The place was really amazing as well as the staff but it’s kind got a bar there and a game was going on so it was a bit loud with some tipsy people. Other than that me and my significant other were very fortunate to get there before the hot peak hours where there was a huge line to be seated. We got a window seat. The staff were very friendly and attentive asking if we were okay, needed anything, and how was the food. Don’t get me started on the food you have to go there, try it, and be blown away because the flavor combinations are superb truly. Some of the most amazing Italian food I have tried thus far.
