    The Inferno pizza and the calamari salad is a great lunch for two. Chase the spicy slice with the cold calamari. And sit at the bar 'cause the chairs are super uncomfortable.

    Very nice restaurant ! Let me advice you to share a mozzarella burata which is just excellent as well as the pizzas !

    Pricey, but a nice option for the area. The meatballs and spaghetti and ricotta cheese w/English pea pizza was top notch. Very nice spot.

    The wine is so so and the crowd is mostly touristy, but still coming back for the space, so chill and relaxed, especially with sun outside!

    The bolognese was fantastic! And the pizzas were great. The inferno was a little spicy for our Italian friend, but she loved the food.

    Pricey nouveau deli aimed at Little Italy tourists, but it makes some of the nicer sandwiches and pizza in the neighborhood.

    Been here 5+ times
    Grand Street sandwich (shredded lamb w/ mint). There are other equally delicious and larger sandwiches, but this one just hits the spot.

    Comfortable atmosphere and plenty of seating at the bar. Pricey for the area and very touristy. Not a place I would choose to eat but good for pre or after dinner drinks.

    Beautiful big space and friendly staff, but the music was dreadful, like we were at the club, it was Tuesday and there was no one. The food was forgettable at best. You pay for the location I suppose.

    We were here on a warm sunny day, and it was great to sit outside on Mulberry street in the shadow

    I had such high hopes for this beautiful space. That's the only good thing I can say. The bad: a) hash browns are actually home fries and raw ones at that, b) service is slow, c) food is blaaaand

    It's aweful! The food is expensive, they only do bolognese salse and some pizzas. And it's fucking cold! It was colder inside than outside. We left before finishing for this reason!

    Service was slow, food was okay but nothing crazy, and came room temp. It's cute inside but food was okay. Grab a glass of wine and a burrata instead of splurging on a meal

    Terrible... On the menu, there was only few options what to choose and on the top of that, they served half of table, but the second half came after 20 minutes. Never more...

    Below average good. Ask for serveur Patrick - he's good. Store manager reduced the bill as we were unhappy. Chef didn't come out to hear us out. Quite disappointed by boring food.

    I don't know if it was just bc of the Feast of San Gennaro, but portions were tiny and service was not good. Despite the negatives, food was tasty.
