I’ve been coming here for years and I’ll keep coming back. I know the cheese wheel pasta can come off as “gimmicky” but this is no gimmick. It’s pure heart, soul, and cheese haha! You’ll be happy ordering anything off of this menu. Ambiance is fantastic. 10/10!

Delicious meal! Every bite was so very tasty! We had the scallop crudo, grilled octopus, and burrata to start. Had the seafood squid ink pasta and risotto as our mains. We were hoping to try their infamous sea urchin pasta but was told it was seasonal and not year round. Food was well balanced and each bite felt well curated! The risotto was creamy but not heavy- the peas and asparagus and a hint of citrus help balance it out to make it a really enjoyable dish! The pasta was perfectly Al dents with great bounce and chew and packed with flavor! We had the almond flan with passion fruit saffron sauce- this too was well balanced and scrumptious to the last morsel! The staff are super attentive and friendly! Thank you for a great meal and even greater experience!

I love their food, it’s not super expensive but it’s not cheap either. They have the most amazing pasta and you can taste the freshness.

We only stopped late in the day for coffee, before a 3 hour drive back home. We had some desserts, which, honestly, were not remarkable. But the coffees were great and the most enticing thing was to see the owner of the place (presumably) greeting people in front of the restaurant, and how warmly everyone responded. A true neighborhood atmosphere, something like from an old movie. We were very moved and somehow felt sucked in, becoming part of the place. Something very rare, I would say.

Good portions, decently priced for NYC, and tasty appetizers. The actual pastas were not that great, and the ones we had were cooked way too “al dente”

Fabulous meal in a wonderful clean and welcoming environment. Wait staff was pleasant and very helpful. Appetizers were phenomenal. Had the smoked sliced duck breast salad. WOW. Beautiful compliment of flavors. We also had a tuna appetizer that was to die for. It came with a mini potato salad that had wasabe in it. I had the sea urchin pasta. It tasted very good but the sea urchin didn’t add much. My companion had the squid ink seafood pasta. It was very well done and incredible. Will return again.

Great pasta place love the parmesan dishes. Good service but it can get crowded. Tip: plan your visit as the line forms by the bar and it can take some time to get seated. The pasta dishes are consistently good as are the specials. There is limited wine selection but the offerings are generally reasonably priced and good.
