Food is great but always really salty. There's never much of a wait these days--the restaurant is huge--so it's a good bet if you're waiting until last minute in the neighborhood.

The food was great, but the waiters and workers took turns asking if we were done every 5 minutes to the point where it got frustrating.

Great carrot and watercress salad. Pastas are a bit small but tagliatelle was excellent.

Charred octopus and brussels sprouts are amazing! Go for three courses and spread it out.

Pork chop at an Italian place? It's delicious. Don't forget to pay with Cover!

All-around fantastic menu, dessert included. Great interiors, too.

Order the apple cinnamon oatmeal pancakes for brunch and you'll dream about them later.

The first east side restaurant from the owners of Dell'anima & L'Artusi. Try the pasta, definitely.

Go for the Charred Octopus app, the Agnolotti pasta, and a weird/loud playlist.

Like your cocktails a little on the bitter side? Try their Aperol cocktail.

In a large, bright, occasionally noisy space, chef Gabe Thompson pulls off smart but crowd-pleasing Italian that's full of big flavors.
Kris ConcepcionJune 13, 2015
Came here for drinks. Grab a seat outside when the weather is nice.
Sami AvilesApril 15, 2013
The pineapple tiramisu was a dreamy bunch of tropical flavors. Good ambiance for friends or dates.

Cute hangout spot. I'd come back for drinks but I can't say that the food blew me away.

The braised short rib polenta and Bronzino were delicious - there was nothing left on my plate

Gabe Thompson and Joe Campanale—the duo behind Dell’Anima, L’Artusi, and Anfora—have, for their latest Italian restaurant.

Oxtail Polenta and Agnolotti pasta are amazing! Highly recommend.

Not your typical NYC restaurant given the size. Our waiter was very slow and monotone so didn't contribute to the best ambience.
Marissa SolomonJune 26, 2013
Ricotta appetizer was amazing as well as octopus pasta dish
Mike NickersonDecember 19, 2016
Standard Italian fare - nothing really pops out as being more memorable than other restos. Our waiter, Aaron, was not helpful or friendly - was offputting.

Peekytoe Crab as starter, then enjoy whatever you choose ..
Anne MyersJune 21, 2015
The service was rather clueless, but the food was off the chain. My friend and I already made plans during brunch to return there for dinner!
Adam MerriamApril 23, 2017
8.8..... perfect example of the subjectivity of these sites. Forget about the horrible service, the food was meh and meh, swimming in a sea of superior Italian restaurants in the immediate area

Their unique take on the French Toast is so delicious!
Nicky DigitalApril 11, 2013
Plan extra time in your schedule because they unapologetically sat us over 30 minutes after our reservation time.
Kathy LJanuary 10, 2014
The Montenegro Sour is a must try. Light, flavourful, and delicious.

White Negroni for the win! Best cocktail I've had in a while.

While food for dinner was delicious service was slow and seemed uncaring.

Get the Gnocchi and the Braised Short Rib Polenta!

Best new restaurant! Brussel sprouts are a must!!
Jolie BennaimMarch 26, 2016
So disappointed my second visit was one of my worst NYC dining experiences. the service is horrible. 5+ servers later and +30 minutes between drinks and courses. I won't be coming back anytime soon.

Sweetbreads Agnolotti and Orange Wines.. Don't Underestimate the Salads.

Parmesan French toast. Do it.

The NYT was right. Too salty on the garganelli ragu. Tuna tartar was great though.
Nicolette RomeroOctober 19, 2014
The tajarin is so worth the carb overload.
