Amazing restaurant!!! Came here solo after work and was looking for a good meal and this totally exceeded my expectations! The bartender was very nice, cocktails were delish, and I had ordered the only chicken dish on the menu and it was delicious!!! It is ala cart so I ordered a side of potatoes and they were some of the best potatoes I’ve ever had! Will definitely come back again!

I am in awe with this restaurant. I took my family out for my grandmother's birthday. I aunt and cousin despise pasta and have not liked it for 25 years so they were annoyed and skeptical that I took them here. We started with the FOCACCIA DELLA CASA and CHARRED OCTOPUS. The Focaccia is baked fresh and whipped ricotta is do die for! The charred octopus is better than the one I had on the coast of Spain this summer. I decided to order for the whole table and after trying the AGNOLOTTI TRUFFLE FONDUTA, RIGATONI CACIO E PEPE, Pesto dish and ORECCHIETTE ARRABBIATA, my family FINALLY fell in love with pasta. It was so delicious we decided to order another round of AGNOLOTTI TRUFFLE FONDUTA to all split. We then got some desserts to celebrate my grandma, and she loved all of them! The staff and service were amazing, my grandma doesn't speak English, and we all sang to her in Spanish.  Our waitress was also Colombian like us and was super sweet. Will be returning here very soon! Thank you for showing my family how delicious pasta can be!!

A quintessential NYC restaurant. This was our second time, and this experience was just as amazing as the first. The staff is warm & attentive, on point with their recommendations. The food is out of this world. They put original twists on classics like their ravioli and artichoke appetizers. The pork chop and orecchiette arrabbiata were perfect. Overall, it took a lot of willpower to stop eating.
