By far my favorite place I have been to eat while in New York. Not only is the pasta fresh and tasty but the staff was so incredibly nice and welcoming. There was live music which was beautiful, though a little loud for my taste.

Simply the best pasta we have had outside of Italy! Highly recommend the Cacio E Pepe, or the chicken parmigiana. Live music after 6pm is a bonus! And their wine selection is decent! We had the reisling which was very good!

Went during lunch time, caprese pasta was over cooked, cacio e pepe had too much butter, only the penne vodka tasted good. Service was mediocre, but the waitress was kind when we expressed our concerns with the food.

We were a big group of 8 and the service was pretty decent. Food on the other hand – hit or miss. Four stars because the dessert was to die for!

Super cute cafe with friendly staff. It’s run efficiently and the pasta tastes great. My only wish would be to lower the sodium level.

Good amount of vegetarian pasta options. Liked the mushroom ravioli and Alla Vodka and truffle fries. Good food for the price and moderate quantity.

Whoever gave this place rating above 3 has not tried their cheese plate for $24, of which I am posting a picture. It has 80 grams of mediocre cheese.
