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.

Spinach and ricotta ravioli are scrumptious. There's also a lovely outdoor seating area in the back.
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.

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.
Kenji TasakaMay 25, 2013
Try the Linguine alle Vongole - Perfectly cooked clams. Sauce is just spicy enough to bring out all the flavors. Fantastic.
Nicole YaleNovember 9, 2013
$20 for unlimited mimosas, Champagne, screwdrivers, Bloodys, strawberry sangria, or bellinis; available from from 11a-4p on weekends.

$18 for unlimited drinks at brunch! The prix fixe menu is also a good deal, and the food is solid all around.
Bernadette PleasantJuly 18, 2013
Both food & service are superb. The prix fixe menu for dinner before 6pm is great.

Loved the Cacio Pepe and outdoor dining!
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.
Enrico MaltaNovember 8, 2018
Best pizza, linguine alle vongole, great parmigiana!
Candace PetersonOctober 27, 2012
Brunch is always great. Nice service and no rush being that there's unlimited drink service on select drinks.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMarch 6, 2016
Decent spot, ok drinks, branzino and octopus are fine, pasta leaves a lot to be desired. Friendly service

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.

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.
Jacky AApril 28, 2012
oh the unlimited peach Bellini was greatttt - get there for sat brunch and u won't regret it
Sandy CohnOctober 5, 2016
Veal chop parm was great and huge!

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.

Decent brunch place. Service was ok, food came out very quick, almost too quick. Crowded and lively. Would go back.
marcJuly 17, 2016
The new construction is done and this place looks, brilliant.
Catherine PasqualeMarch 25, 2016
Gnocchi was delicious!!
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

Early bird dinner special is unbelievable. 3 courses for 14.95.
ALMA TRIBIANADecember 10, 2010
Try their Bistecchina or Salmone ... a bit pricy but well worth the price :)
andrea garciaMarch 2, 2010
love the chicken parmesan and the other day I tried the Cavatelli bolognese and it was AMAZING Read more
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.
HowardSeptember 22, 2020
Sit in the courtyard. Outside but no car traffic
Sandy CohnSeptember 27, 2014

JessMarch 11, 2012
Sunday morning hostess can't handle her job. Come early.
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.
Jane AAugust 16, 2014
