Beautiful place, mediocre food and terrible service. Pappardelle with too much rosemary, cacio e pepe too oily and spoiled wine.

One of the best bloody marys in the area, just the right amount of spice.

Not much variety on the lunch menu. And pretty price for a tiny personal pizza. Service was good though.
New York PRJune 17, 2014
Not a good place for happy hour. They won't let you sit outside and just have drinks if you don't order food, which is cheaper than the drinks.
AnneJanuary 25, 2010
Brunch = scrambled egg whites with spinach with side of chicken apple sausage. Then chill in that gorgeous lobby.

The $40 bottle of Ca'Stella Sauvignon Blanc is quite light and refreshing.
