A comfortable, chic and authentic Italian restaurant on Madison Avenue with great quality food. We love the bronzino; it is always cooked to perfection without too much butter or salt!

Best roasted pork ever! Beautiful atmosphere, elegant, romantic, and cozy. Terrific Italian restaurant! I'm Italian so you can totally trust me ;-)

Service was outstanding. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the salmon - it was perfectly crispy and fresh. Can’t go wrong with any of the desserts!

Great cocktails and lots of menu choices. I like the tequila martini and beef carpaccio (carpaccio di manzo).

Classic pizza with truffles is delicious here

Don't be deceived by the , apparently, innofensive appearance of the lychee martini. It's damn strong!

Luxury style Italian in UES, service is rather intrusive and interior rather impersonal

Nice place! But they made a huge mistake. Espresso like an Americano, not authentic italian...

Really wanted to like this place, but just could not. Great wait staff and nice decor... The food extremely mediocre across the board from appetizers to main course, sadly even the pasta...
John Maxwell HobbsJuly 14, 2012
A great spot for a quick antipasti. Elaine Stritch was leaving as we entered and Betsy Johnson was entering as we left.

No se puede negar que la comida es buena, y el lugar es agradable,pero como turista te recomiendo que le dejes este restaurante a los locales y te evites malos ratos con su personal.
