    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.

    $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.

    Try the Linguine alle Vongole - Perfectly cooked clams. Sauce is just spicy enough to bring out all the flavors. Fantastic.

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

    Brunch is always great. Nice service and no rush being that there's unlimited drink service on select drinks.

    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.

    I highly recommend the $14 unlimited drink special which last until 4pm if you last that long. Also, the Western omelette is damn good.

    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.

    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.

    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.
