A cozy little place. All four of us enjoyed the the entrees we ordered, which included FETTUCCINE ALLA BOLOGNESE and TORTELLINI TOSCANI. Salads were all fresh-tasting and creative. An appetizer we shared was CARCIOFI FRITTI, which I also recommend. Service was quick and courteous. A real find!

This is my very favorite neighborhood restaurant but all my out-of-town guests love it too. The person I was dining with said it was the best pasta (referring to the amazing squash raviolis) that she'd had in ages.

The food is excellent, I'm not going to lie, it's very good food, very good pasta, especially the steak they have. But the service is poor, discriminatory and it’s a service to which myself and my wife felt rushed to eat so that they can put another person on the table; from the Mexicans who brought out the food to the Italian waitress working besides the owner. Besides that I was having an incredible night with the love of my life, we ate a good Steak, we ate a good pasta, but then a customer came with a dog, although they claim it was a service dog, we all knew the dog was not a service dog, the issue here was that the restaurant prioritized this group of people that came in with the dog and ignored the other customers in the restaurant. We asked for a bottle of wine and the waitress stated that they didn’t have bottles of wine that they only provided glasses of wine but when the group of people who were with the dog arrived and asked for a bottle of wine it was given to them. We brought the discrimination up to the waitress and owner and they said that they didn’t understand what we had said and didn’t know that we wanted a bottle of wine. The owner was there and the waitress didn't care how we felt, they gave all the attention to the group of people with a dog who was walking around the restaurant. Just imagine a Dog walking around in a restaurant while you eat. After such a chaotic experience, that was so horrible, so discriminatory and so unprofessional. I dont recommend anyone to go to this restaurant, I think they should close it because of the poor customer service they have and all the discrimination against the people who live around. I am a dog lover and own one myself but I don’t disturb other people in restaurants with my dog while they eat. At the end of the day We all know that wasn’t a service dog, the dog was easily and openly walking around. I don’t recommend this place, I provided pictures of the dog, Thank you.

The absolute best. Been coming for years and it just keeps getting better. They treat you like family and the food is top notch with a great wine list. Get it all.

Great upscale date spot. Nice little dishes, plus some great larger dishes with a good mix of pasta, meat, and seafood. Great wine selection, but no liquor and few beers. So I'd recommend this for a classic Italian dining experience in a classy space. The majority of the tables are set for two, so that should give a sense for the intended audience. Staff was also very helpful.

Super unfriendly and a really unhinged manager. Extremely arrogant and stupid staff. Would love to understand the owners mission statement.

Best: Cristina, our waitress and the ambiance. Food was not top. I had chicken stew and it really felt like the chicken had been plain boiled and then a sauce been added. The rest of our dishes were ok.

Wonderful local Italian place with great food and moody ambience. I gave it 4/5 for value because it is priced exactly as it would be in NYC, not a cheap deal but not overly so. Recommend highly for intimate get-togethers.

Wanted to love this neighborhood place so badly but after 60 minutes they hustled us out of the restaurant so hard our heads were spinning. They asked us if we wanted tea or coffee, then pretended to have run out — the waitress told us “they” were making her drop off the check instead. It was ridiculous. Never going back again. Such a bummer.

I recently dined at this Italian restaurant, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, and the staff provided excellent service. My only critique is that the serving dishes were consistently cold. While this wasn't an issue for cold dishes, warm plates would have enhanced the experience for hot meals. Despite this, the flavors and service make it a worthwhile. I would definitely come back for other dishes.

I have been to this restaurant a number of times and always feel at home and enjoy the staff and my time spent there. The food is consistently good in the regular dishes as well as the specials.

I like this place! I've come twice so far, and both times got the lamb shank. It's freaking delicious. It's perfect for a romantic evening, or just catching up with friends. Give it a go if you're in the mood for some Italian.

From the moment we entered, the staff was cold and unpleasant. One of us had serious hearing issues, and we asked that the music be turned down. They flatly refused. We had to wait to have our order taken. The food was mediocre, very different from previous visits. My guests, and I, were disappointed, to say the least, and I will never return to this restaurant. I will also tell friends not to bother, even though, in the past, I have suggested Osteria 106 as a very good restaurant. In closing, extremely disappointed.
