Good food. Tried the Carbonara and the Gnocchi con crema rosa al tartufo. The carbonara was good though not memorable; the choice of meat is bacon that was rather bland compared to guanciale or pancetta. The gnocchi was very good with a nice crema rosa. Tiramisu was very good, though the size is quite single-serving rather than a dessert meant to be shared— likely for the best after a filling pasta meal.

An unexpected diamond amongst the surrounding pubs and bars! We walked by it and assumed that it would be only ok food, given that the exterior looked a little uninviting/unimpressive. Don’t be fooled by the book cover! Cos this place holds true to its roots and I was brought back to Italy! Real authentic wholesome Italian food, from appetizer to desserts! One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in the last 6 years! Great service and great atmosphere 🙂 perfect date night!

Very disappointed with our dinner last night. Their high rating is misleading!! Prices of entrees were 30% higher than listed online. Paid $37 for linguini with clams that had overcooked store bought pasta, a thick grey sauce, huge garlic chunks. Never encountered anything like this. Caesar salad was sad and tasted like it was from a cafeteria. Fried zucchini was ok, lots of batter. Fettuccine bolognese used fresh pasta but was average. $200 incl tax and tip for 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine. Wish we had gone to Olive Garden instead

Best fresh tuna steak ever. Capers, garlic, onion and added the most wonderful memorable taste. Our waiter was an expert! We had a nice table outside. Was a bit pricey for me with the wine but money well spent.

Nice place, pretty good food, just terribly over priced. $20 caprese salad is three slices of regular tomato and some cheese. Past dishes at $40 were good, but not worth the cost. Staff is nice.

This place is a hidden gem in NYC. Cozy, small place serving delicious Italian dishes and wine, perfect for a date os special occasion. We booked a few weeks ahead and we’re met by the manager Giulio , who was very friendly, as well as the waiter.

Haven’t been here since the Pandemic hit, but we are soo glad we stopped by! Giulio was amazing. Treated us like family from the min we walked in. The food was exceptional. Honestly, everything we ordered was out of this world! They made my truffle fettuccine in front of me AND my banana dessert! Just an amazing night! Thank you for the wonderful experience! Even with restrictions for Covid easing, we felt very safe. Staff wore masks, barriers in place, and hand sanitizer available!
