    Best amaro selection I've ever seen. Definitely a bar where you can ask for the "bartender's choice" and you'll get something great.

    I had my first Amaro here and was a huge fan. Much milder and sweeter than fernet. Loved the bar especially the music. Also they DO accept credit cards. Only complaint is the bathroom wasn’t great.

    Now that's a place for fernet & amaro. Be adventurous, just ask a friendly waited what a today's special is and go for it -- you won't regret.

    The place sports a list of champagne cocktails that are only $3 during happy hour & an impressive wine & beer selection. Grab a Belgian beer & take a seat by the streetside window to "people" watch. Read more

    Cool place to grab a drink before or after dinner, especially if you like fernet or amaro as they have a huge selection of both.

    This place has amateur bartenders and less than clean restrooms. In 5 years, it will be a dive bar, unless it's bought by someone who knows how to run a bar. The sound system also grates on your ears.

    Amazing range of Amaros. Try the Zucca if you're a Newbie to Amaro.
