Experience Europe style life at this intimate cafe with good music. Go in the morning for coffe and later at night for wine and food. Friendly staff!

Standard NYC Italian restaurant but with the extra flair of a young family UWS crowd. Tasty foods and good brunch for a fair price.

Crowded for a Tuesday night... but service was impeccable + food was hot, fresh, and delicious - especially the lasagna and artichokes (we ordered another side because they were spectacular)!!!!

Pros: You can make a res, it's not crowded for Sunday brunch & the crab cake benedict was yummy! Con: Slow servers who have to be reminded of your requests.
Sarah WithersOctober 2, 2013
$16 all you can drink wine, and a $20 all you can drink brunch special on weekends. One of the best places on the UWS.

$20 for unlimited mimosas, Champagne, screwdrivers, Bloodys, strawberry sangria, or bellinis; available from from 11a-4p on weekends.

Try the Linguine alle Vongole - Perfectly cooked clams. Sauce is just spicy enough to bring out all the flavors. Fantastic.
Maria KolakowskaSeptember 6, 2014
Spinach and ricotta ravioli are scrumptious. There's also a lovely outdoor seating area in the back.

$18 for unlimited drinks at brunch! The prix fixe menu is also a good deal, and the food is solid all around.

Ask for Marcos, he's the greatest server ever! He'll make sure you bottomless drinks are forever bottomless :-)

Lovely space, decent prices, delicious food! The Grilled Portuguese Octopus Salad is amazing; so is the Bufalina Mozzarella Pizza with Tomato Sauce, Arugula, Cherry Tomatoes & Shaved Parmigiano.
Jamay LiuApril 20, 2011
great for boozy brunch with the ladies. $16 gets you unlimited refills of the alcholic beverage of your choice (bloody marys, bellinis, sangria..etc)
Diana PearlJuly 4, 2013
Tons of food for the prix-fixe menu on weekdays until 6 -- it's only $13!! Very tasty.
Bernadette PleasantJuly 18, 2013
Both food & service are superb. The prix fixe menu for dinner before 6pm is great.

I had the Rigatoni Con Pollo...so good. Our waitress was very sweet and was prompt with everything...would def go again!
Candace PetersonOctober 27, 2012
Brunch is always great. Nice service and no rush being that there's unlimited drink service on select drinks.

Anna the bartender is the best we've found on the uws. Come a few times and you're friends forever. Such a great experience at the bar.

Best pizza, linguine alle vongole, great parmigiana!
Jacky AApril 28, 2012

Michael Fox-RabinovitzMarch 6, 2016
Decent spot, ok drinks, branzino and octopus are fine, pasta leaves a lot to be desired. Friendly service

Loved the Cacio Pepe and outdoor dining!

The brunch food is way above average, but the place has a very odd atmosphere mix of casual/ formal. If you're underdressed, or try to be funny, it's as awkward as wiping your ass with sandpaper.
Earle RichardsApril 19, 2010
I highly recommend the $14 unlimited drink special which last until 4pm if you last that long. Also, the Western omelette is damn good.
Dosta DedicJuly 26, 2013
Amazing food fried zucchini the best n octopus!!
Sandy CohnOctober 5, 2016
Veal chop parm was great and huge!
Jeff SApril 19, 2015
To be honest, the meal was horrible. Took 25 min to get milk for my now cold coffee and the omelettes were overcooked ant the toppings were just thrown on top rather than cooked in the eggs.
Gilbert McCurdyMarch 1, 2020
Green Salads- $12-14. When bill came the Fennel/Arugula/cherryTomato & a bacon salad “special”way overpriced at $20. Rip off! Branzino w/ veggies ok price @$28. Lesson:ask $ b4 ordering! Won’t return
Trae FFebruary 12, 2014
Decent brunch place. Service was ok, food came out very quick, almost too quick. Crowded and lively. Would go back.
Matthew SpectorJanuary 3, 2015
Pizza is crusty crispy and delicious.
Elizabeth WarnerApril 10, 2012
Be sure to check the rating that is a C! But the sign is shadily facing away from the entrance so you can't see it. We up and left.
IvaDecember 1, 2010
Prosciutto di parma panini was delicious, indeed. But, my water glass came w/ a dead fly. Expect oceans of time in serving food. In exchange for staying forever.
Wendi WeinmanOctober 29, 2013
Awesome backyard with room to spread out...and talk.
Rachel CheeseboroughJune 22, 2014
The unlimited are no longer available...The food is still good
Minns MokkiJune 21, 2015
Con:Horrible sangria seemed was made with can syrup. Servers have an attitude. Pro:Cute outdoor to have a drink or two.
ALMA TRIBIANADecember 10, 2010
Try their Bistecchina or Salmone ... a bit pricy but well worth the price :)
Our Man On The GroundJune 29, 2011

Try the bolognese - it's the best!
Jag FirerwalkerSeptember 11, 2016
Stay away from this place, if you like service and getting treated for your money. Food is to average to be treated this way.
