Kaitlin YapchaianAugust 1, 2021The farro is surprisingly delicious. As are the pastas. The fried chicken is good but a little over-rated. Service is usually lovely.
Michelle CheungFebruary 11, 2014Love the decor. Food is interesting yet approachable though portions are quite small for price. Definitely more of a scene restaurant. Should try once to experience food & decor. Again to socialize.
Great for lunch as well as dinner. Razor Clams, Fluke, Faro Salad must-try appetizers. Split a Budino, pay with Cover, and start planning your next visit.
Olivia OranOctober 12, 2013Super delicious. Farro salad, spaghetti with uni and chicken are musts. Seriously one of the best chicken dishes in the city!
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014Amazing menu. Get the fluke, the cappellacci, buttered corn and the steak. Save room for their chocolate dessert!
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJanuary 11, 2017So great for dates! Awesome atmosphere and incredible music
Serious EatsJuly 2, 2013Seasonal, Italian-accented food with an excellent wine list that includes some surprising values.- Grilled octopus salad, fried squash blossom and gnocchi Rosa! Excellent wine selection too.
razor clams, blue crab toast, rigatoni, roast chicken = all good good. but that all hip-hop playlist tho...
Razor Clams, Farro salad, burrata toast. Everything was amazing! Love the music and service was great!
shaunaOctober 17, 2013Noise level decreases as evening progresses. Crab laced squid ink chitatarra nera pasta bowl is divine washed down w/ hibiscus mimosa. Perfect
Eug KMay 31, 2016I was about to order my côtes de Provence to sit outside, when I saw a huge rat that ran between the tables, scaring all the ladies. New York, I love you
Catherine RomanJuly 13, 2013Will be craving those razor clams, farro & herb salad, and the spaghetti with duck egg and uni for days! What a meal. Oh my!
Pam B.December 4, 2013NYT recommends the risotto of baby clams; duck egg spaghetti; tripe toast; farro salad; beef carpaccio; roasted chicken; veal chop.- In addition to the giid fooid and wine selection, the service is impeccable - they did not charge me for the dish I don't like and gave me a free glass of wine to show "apology". Thanks!
BenMarch 21, 2015Super hip, great selection of small plates and wine, dining outside can be a bit loud due to street noise.
go early sit at the bar get any pasta and a side of Brussels sprouts and the chocolate dessert. yummmmmmmm
Nicholas M.July 29, 2016All food and wine were great, but scallop ceviche, farro salad, chicken and chocolate budino stand out.
Saif DiaDecember 15, 2016Brussels sprouts are phenomenal. Get them with the appetizers, as they can drown out your main
Jennifer NguyenOctober 28, 2014Everything was awesome. Ordered fusili nero,eggplant, cauliflower, potatoes. Get the chocolate dessert!
Brad ParkJanuary 7, 2014Five-star service, a relaxed approach to excellent wine, consistently delicious food, and a little bit of hip hop.
Amber VittoriaSeptember 22, 2014The cappellacci, blue crab toast, and ribeye are all beyond wonderful.
- Meg FarmerNovember 22, 2014Always a win. Duck egg uni pasta is to die for. Service is impeccable, scene is trendy.
Lucky BrandSeptember 4, 2013The Roasted chicken has quietly become New York’s latest food craze and the new must-try at this thronged, street-art inspired spot.- Valentin GuerinOctober 15, 2017Farro salad and burrata were delicious, with a glass of Sicilian wine.
Saneel RadiaAugust 9, 2013Amazingly, any wine on this incredible wine list is available as a half bottle so explore it (in those gorgeous Zalto glasses).
Marie La RueJuly 16, 2020Decent Italian menu, but somehow underwhelming given its reputation. Seasoning was overall a bit uneven. Grilled chicken was excellent. Time-travel with their 2000s rap playlist.
Dan FetznerOctober 8, 2014Razor Clams and Stracciatella Cheese Toast were phenomenal. Great music - 90s Hip Hop
Kathryn ChengJuly 27, 2013Duck egg uni pasta full stop. Razor clams, chicken liver toast, piglet and chocolate dessert.
Stephen PurcellJuly 16, 2018Dropped in for an afternoon drink - great ambiance, music, and cocktails- any pasta. annnnnnnnny pasta. and the Brussels sprouts. ultimate low-key celebration spot.
Alissa WinberryApril 15, 2014hip hop beats, Italian food & a killer wine list....excuse me, is this heaven?
Stuart WillsonSeptember 5, 2013The Old Pal, a Negroni with rye instead of gin, is a nice fall cocktail. Pistachio lemon cake also great- They really pay attention to details - down to the wine glass. It completes the wine moments.
Start with the Razor Clams! It's our favorite bite in the city!
Rory ParnessDecember 4, 2015The donuts for dessert were well they were um they were let's see uh indescribably good. Damn - get them!
Jasmine MehrabiMay 28, 2023Ordered the focaccia bread and farro salad - both were great. Steak tasted good too.
Razor clams and the crispy chicken. But really it’s all amazing.
One of the few casual restaurants that uses super pricey Zalto glasses for all wine pours (not just expensive bottles). So opt for wine instead of cocktails and pity the poor dishwashers.- Raw scallop in brown butter sauce! Still love the octopus best.
- Come before 8pm and you shall be fine finding a seat at the bar. Do name reservation for tables.
service impeccable. do yourself a favor and order one thing from every section of the menu!
Margo LowryJuly 15, 2017Order this - razor clams, agnelotti pasta and the chicken... and let the somn do the rest

"Delicious Italian in a lively atmosphere, but the real stars of the show are the short ribs for 2, the porcetta sandwich and the Cacio e Pepe. They're totally worth the hype."
