Everything they make is of the utmost quality. Super fresh ingredients, zero skimping in any way, and the good old feeling of family are embedded in every dish they produce. During these stay at home times, I thought my birthday would be less than stellar. But their food, in no way lessened by a takeout container or a to-go bag, helped make it amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a super light yet decadent Prosecco sauce. The spinach was a beautiful flavor accompanim

Excellent place to go for a good meal at a very affordable price (you get quality food and it's not expensive). Be sure to order the big pitcher of wine as it's a bang for your buck.

Loved my visit. Came with a larger group of family and friends. They were very accommodating. Superb customer service. Food was great. I got the penne with the sausage, prosciutto and pancetta with a white cream based sauce. The dish was great. Slight things to note: I thought the penne noodles were a touch on the chewy side possibly related to thickness of the pasta. But I also prefer softer pasta; so this may be a personal preference thing. I also thought the sausage may have been better in this dish as thinly sliced pieces as opposed to ground sausage. But it did mix well with the cream in each bite because it was ground up.

My friends and I wanted to have dinner in Little Italy and we discovered this restaurant on Yelp so we decided to try it -- we were pleasantly surprised! The food here was delicious! I've had plenty of spaghetti bolognese (it's almost the only thing I ever order) but the one I ordered here tasted even better than most places. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the bolognese sauce had a ton of flavor. My friends ordered the fettuccine with shrimp and fettuccine with mushrooms and they both also really enjoyed their meals! The servers were super friendly and kept coming back to our table to check if we needed anything and to refill our waters. The only downside was that we originally decided to come to this place because they were offering a free dessert with a Yelp check in, but when we asked they told us it was only Monday through Thursday, which we were pretty bummed about since we came on a Friday. I feel like it should say that on the offer, because it was one of the reasons we decided on this place over others in the Little Italy area. Overall though, the food was amazing and the restaurant had a really cozy atmosphere. I would definitely return! P.S.: I don't know if anyone else felt this way, but the dim lighting in here made me super sleepy

Ambiance is cute and service was exceptional. Pastas are all under 20 and they have a bunch to choose from. We got parpadelle all a vodka, gnocchi with pomodora, orecchiette with sausage, and cacio e pepe. The cacio was a bit bland and I needed to add more parm and a touch of salt. Everything else was really good. I love that you can mix and match pastas and sauces.

This Italian is also located in the popular historic area called Little Italy. Very authentic tasting home made Italian foods. You can not go wrong with any pasta dishes here. The Oxtail ragu pasta was very good. The one with the cream sauce was also very good. Although nothing is super great, everything we had were all very good including the service. I heard they lost several Italian restaurants during the Obama's muserable economic recession Era, but We are glad this restaurant survived.

The ravioli of the day and the oxtail pappardelle left a bit to be desired, but the place was very cute and the staff very friendly.
Great pasta place! Came for dinner on a Saturday night and it was perfect, fast but not rushed. Well priced and high quality

My boyfriend and I came here for our Valentine's Day dinner. It was the perfect spot for an intimate meal. Food was good but nothing special; calamari was great though! A good place to go for more reasonably-priced Italian food in NYC

I had a pretty bad experience here. I came with a few of my friends for a casual dinner on Saturday, and neither the service nor the food was up to even a mediocre standard. First off, we never got our appetizer that we ordered. When we asked about it, our server casually admitted he forgot and then didn't do anything about it. It was a simple mozzarella dish that wouldn't have taken long to make and just bring out. Next, and this is quite serious, my friend ordered the special of the day, which was the beef ravioli. All was fine until she bit into a crab ravioli. Can you imagine if she had a shellfish allergy? This is absolutely unacceptable and this truly could have turned into a medical emergency. I don't even understand how they'd mix two wholly different types of ravioli. Plus, crab ravioli wasn't even on the menu. We called over and asked our server why there was a crab ravioli in her beef ravioli dish, and upon checking with the kitchen, he said that tomorrow's special of the day is crab ravioli and it must've gotten mixed in somehow. He lightly apologized and to make up for it, he offered a free dessert... I don't think he understood the gravity of the situation. Granted, it isn't his fault, but this is a serious issue that is indicative of their larger practice and he should reflect some amount of concern on behalf of the restaurant. Overall, I'm very disappointed in the way this restaurant is run, both in the kitchen and in service. I will never return. Even without all the bumps in our experience, the food was just okay.

This has to be one of the Best Italian places! I highly recommend to eat here! If I could get 10 stars I would. I started out with calamari and bruschetta. Let me first by saying that the red sauce was out of this worlD. My friends ordered the Pinot Grigio and I ordered the Cabernet. Delicious! For our main entrée we order oxtail ragu with pappardelle pasta. This was heaven. My other friends ordered a pasta dish with cream sauce and it was so delicious. The gentleman that took our order May have been the owner I'm not sure but he was fabulous. Overall this was a fabulous place to eat. The ambience and the food was superb. I will be dreaming about this place for a very long time
