The family came here after a nearby off Broadway show. We had a reservation and our table was ready, even though the restaurant was crowded at 9 pm. We started with caesar salad and meatballs, followed by two pasta dishes (shared) and a side. All were commented on as being "very good". The staff was attentive and extremely nice. Helped make for a memorable evening. We'll definitely be back.
We were there for dinner before an off broadway show. Our reservation was held and the ambiance brought you right into Italy. Our waiter, Emanuel was amazing. Shared the specials and explained the nuances of the menu. He was very personable and attentive. The food and drinks were amazing. Wonderful flavorful pairings and the portions were plentiful. The rest of the staff was spot-on with all of our needs. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!

Excellent homemade pasta with superb service. Our waiter went the extra mile with his recommendation of which cheeses paired best with the wine we selected. Highly recommend the spaghetti and meatballs as well as the Cacio e Pepe.
Don't have anything bad to say about this place. I didn't give it 5 stars only because I can't say it was outstanding as I've been to other Italian restaurants that impressed me with their food more. Otherwise the whole experience was good from beginning to end. We had the mushroom pasta and salmon and split a salad. Service was great, no complaints. Would probably come back here.

Visited on 2/4/2024 : I found this restaurant very pleasant for the occasion we came for. My friend just came from picking out her wedding dress with her family and her bridesmaids and it was also her birthday. The staff there gave us a complimentary dessert for her and sang happy birthday. They even greeted her and said happy birthday . I think it really made her day. My only complaint is I wish there is a way to add protein to some of the pasta options. However, I understand why they're probably wasn't any, but if they were to take this in the consideration, I would love to have added chicken to my dish. I don't mind paying extra for protein so money isn't an issue. But everything tasted delicious. I got the cacio e pepe.

The food is okay. I'll say the carbonara is a disappointment, I def won't get that if I ever come back again. It's not creamy, it doesn't hit the carbonara spot. The service was great, relatively attentive. I love how the happy hour/bar section is separated from the dining area. The place is nicely decorated. Everything was okay. The fish has a caper in their sauce. Their chicken was good as well as the pizza.

This used to be such a great place to go - the food was amazing, the service was amazing... Now? Not so much. The food is still good (not great, but good), but the service is so rude. I met a friend for lunch the other day, but he wasn't feeling well, so he just ordered tea. I had a full lunch. Mind you, the place was practically empty - we were one of 3 occupied tables. The waitress made it very clear that she was super annoyed that both of us didn't order lunch. In addition, I had called to make a reservation and the person who answered acted like I was bothering her and she was doing me a favor by taking the call. There are a zillion great restaurants in Manhattan. Don't choose this one.

We reserved a team lunch here for group of 6. Our table was ready upon arrival. The restaurant has a nice European rustic vibe, with a bar area in front, and outdoor seating as well, weather permitted. It's a full on Italian lunch menu, if you are not familiar with Italian dishes, you would spend a lot of time in Google lol! The lunch menu is also different than dinner menu. We got the burrata for appetizer. Amazing flatbread with tomato sauce and outrageous burrata cheese. I made sure no cheese was wasted. All of us got variety of dishes from pasta, gnocchi to panini. They all loved and spoke highly of their food. I got the Salmon that was seared so beautifully. The skin was crisp, but a very soft tasty layer underneath. The vegetables on the dish were also cooked so well. The special blueberry non alcoholic drink was solid as well. Overall e had a fantastic team lunch. Service was incredible. We were in and out within an hour.

We had a delightful meal! The service was excellent! Matt listened to our wishes and we were able to taste and enjoy many splendid dishes. The pesto gnocchi, the mushroom flatbread and the Caesar salad were delectable. We will be back!
This is my new go-to brunch! I’ve been twice and the food and staff are phenomenal. Also dog friendly!!

Our waiter was not only rude but blatantly tried to add an extra item to our bill as if we wouldn’t notice. We could tell because as soon as we took a close look, he ran over with the correct bill. Terrible.They also, weirdly, brought my fiancés dinner over 30 minutes after mine. Overall, the food was not good to justify the poor service. Shame.

This restaurant's food may satisfy your cravings, but beware of the sticky situation beneath the tables with chewing gums, making cleanliness a priority. It's best to steer clear if you prefer a dining experience without unwanted trouser adornments.

Loved it. We tried the new cauliflower, Caesar salad and tuna tartare appetizers and they were incredible. The Uccellino special cocktail was so tasty and refreshing, too! Thanks to Emanuele, Matteo and the team for a great experience.

Had the best food, service and vibe!! Such a cute and cozy spot, with the freshest pasta and ingredients!?
