Lauren HorwitzJanuary 18, 2013Thursday is ladies night! Half priced dranks, and two appetizers per chick on the casa. I'd recommend the insalata tre colori and the mac and cheese! Beware of automatic 20% gratuity.
Igor PiquetMay 16, 2015Great fixed price lunch menu until 4pm, also the lasagna is one of the best I've had. There's a 20% fixed service charge so watch out .
HallouMarch 3, 2016A good food which it should be better since its an original Italian Res. not, don't get too so excited by the history of this place.- Christy LamagnaOctober 5, 2016Situated in Little Italy, with multi-talented chef Frank Castellana recreating the finest in Italian Cuisine. Love this place!

Helen ManNovember 16, 2012Try the 1 1/2 lbs Whole Maine Lobster - I did not know it was going to be this big of a dish. But yet it was still good
UpShift DigitalFebruary 20, 2017I love this little spot for a mid afternoon cocktail. It feels like old New York.
Marissa GatesFebruary 14, 2014It seems unfair to have a 20% tip already enforced especially when there is two of you. This makes them forget you are there- especially when you need the check. The food is just okay.
Rhea S.April 14, 2012The margherita pizza was amazing! It's on the appetizer list but get it as a single meal. :)
Their moscato is great! Not too sweet and not too "grape-juice" like
Thomas NebesarJune 6, 2019Chicken Sorrento (special) was a pleasant surprise. The pizza was runny with bland overcooked dough.
Susan LohFebruary 3, 2012two course prix fixe lunch M-F for only $9.95. pick your pasta + entree. baller.
Jasmine MehrabiMarch 14, 2019Sadly a tourist trap. The breaded clams were so tiny and not worth the money. The margarita pizza was so cheesy. Pesto gnocchi was okay. A guy walks around asking if you want your photo taken too.
Charles GoggansJuly 27, 2015Had the Penna Arribiatta and Chicken Francaise. Both were good but not from the area. Wait staff was attentive .
Best place on Mulberry Street. Manager named Aaron is superb and kind of handsome.
Carolyn MayApril 12, 2012Try finding a space where it is quiet, then you can enjoy your own food and not others around you
Nia SoriaAugust 12, 2017Terrible pizza, frozen dough. Not impressed with their chicken franchaise . Needed more flavor overall. %20 gratuity included automatically added to the bill.
Victoria U.January 24, 2015Food is ok- speedy. Definite tourist trap. Happy hour and ladies night is ok.
Ben ParkerJanuary 2, 2011Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend for authentic Italian experience in Little Italy!
- Kevin RussellJanuary 26, 2012Don't get the Mozzarella Spedini! It comes rolled in bread and deep fried, it's greasier than hell
Jennifer BrunoSeptember 16, 2015Absolutely terrible. Alfredo sauce was so watery that it was dripping off the noodles
Felix I BobadillaJanuary 26, 2012Food OK, but the 20% service charge is not reflected in any of the service they provide, like the $30 dlls house wine, warm bread served only once, or just 2 waitersfor the whole restaurant. Don't go.
Brad RuprechtNovember 27, 2010great place. one bathroom so you may have to wait if you had too much wine.
Rita LOctober 26, 2012super bad food :( even on ladies night its not worth it to come.the drinks taste so cheap you can get sick after.fried calamari's tasteless & chewy,mussel's not fresh,fried mozzarella's greasy,avoid!!
- DoubleDeuceSeptember 22, 2016The food is disgusting. It made me want to vomit. Then the service charge after not offering more to drink, not clearing our plates, not offering more water. That made me want to vomit too. Terrible.
Fernanda NagamatsuApril 6, 2014Very bad service... And besides we had to pay 20% for it and to share a plate costs 4 dollars... Unbelievable!
Robin FitzgeraldFebruary 17, 2012Ladies night Thursday! Two free appetizers for each lady and half price drinks! It's for real :)
