    Our go to neighborhood Italian with great food and a fairly priced wine list They don’t pack you in so a more relaxed dining experience with super friendly / responsive staff Highly recommend if your on the UES in the 70’s

    Had business at a nearby hospital and promised my out-of-town guest a good Italian meal. We were not disappointed!

    What a wonderful Thanksgiving feast! We all arrived much earlier (separately) than our reservation but were sat with a smile. The staff was attentive and kind, and the overall feeling of the space was lovely. The food was delicious. I had the carrot ginger soup, the stuffed mushrooms, turkey and pumpkin pie. My Italian uncle decided to order off their usual menu and got the seafood. He said the calamari was perfectly cooked, not at all rubbery which he said often happens when people over cook it. The cappuccino was so refreshing, topped with perfect foam. All in all an absolutely fantastic turkey day. Thank you. We will be sure to dine again.

    Service was excellent. Very lovely place. My only complaint was the chicken Parmesan was a bit dry; it needed more sauce.

    This gem never fails to please. Although it is located on a busy corner, it is quiet and inviting inside. Service is first-rate and menu selections are many. I had a salad made with fresh calamari, tomatoes, and various greens. It was large and delicious, so I opted to take half of it home with me! My date had an equally delicious salad made with grilled shrimp. We finished the meal with a slice of cheesecake and coffee.
