    Solid neighborhood Italian spot. Roasted artichoke salad and pastas are consistently on point. Awesome vibe

    Exceptional service. The staff was truly kind, knowledgable and went out of their way for us. The food is outstanding (rabbit pappardelle, rack of lamb- NOM) and wine list is extensive. Eat here!

    What a gem! Respectable Italian wine list. Ordered the fig & prosciutto antipasti and the venison special (venison, roasted brussel sprouts & wild mushrooms, horseradish polenta, red wine demi glace)

    The cavatelli special was delicious and so was the kale Caesar to start! Their pasta is homemade and it makes all the difference! Next time I go I will have to get the rigatoni.

    Incredible artichoke dish. I expected a commonly cooked artichoke in its skin l, but instead it was neatly peeled and perfectly smooth on a plate. Perfect combination of flavors.

    The Pizzetta Del Bosco (wild mushroom pizza) is amazing! Also highly recommend the Rigatoni. The Pappardelle is good, but the Rigatoni is better. Service is truly fantastic! 👍👍

    The monk fish is GREAT. It's definitely pepper-y, but if you don't mind that... it's some of the best monk fish I've ever had.

    Best italian restaurant in alphabet city. The owner is super nice, waiters know what they're talking about, and the pappardelle with braised rabbit is to die for.

    Check the pizza with mushrooms and truffle oil. Ask for a side of marinara and don't share with anyone at the table. 😎

    Make sure to show your check in if you bring wine on mondays because the server will say they don't allow outside wines

    Ravioli is incredible and the portion isn't bare like other restaurants. If you need some vino, the owners will give you the right bottle w/ no questions asked. Proper service.
