Cliff WilsonMay 2, 2016The scallops and gnocchi were amazing. The fritters were also a great starter.
Suraj SavaliaMay 1, 2016Agnolotti, Fritelle and drinks are not to be missed. Snag a spot at the bar, everyone is super friendly here.
The malfadini is simple and delicious. The perfect summer pasta.
Danny NathanSeptember 5, 2016Super sceney. The food was good but the service wasn't quite on par. The hostesses were full of attitude; the wait staff was friendly but managed that odd balance of inattentive yet always there.
One of the best meals you'll have in nyc. Worth the wait/hype. I like it best with 2-3 friends, that way you can try a bunch of things. If the mezzaluna pasta is on the menu - get it! Rigatoni is 👌🏼
Prins PoloAugust 6, 2022Appetizers and pasta dishes disappointing. Didn’t hit the spot, unlike its sister resto Misi.
Utku UralNovember 3, 2019The service was excellent, the decor is spot on, but the food just totally missed the mark. Over salted and overpriced across the board. I wanted to love the meal but I just couldn’t.
The rigatoni is an absolute standout but everything else here is also 👌🏾
Cole KennedyAugust 24, 2018It is everything you hoped it would be and more. There was a special appetizer focaccia with tomatoes that melted my brain, so trust the specials. The sheep’s milk agnolotti entrée was divine too.
- Roman TemkinFebruary 9, 2016a great selection of food with lots of unique flavors that are appetizing.
Steven LambiaseMarch 16, 2016The peppercorn pasta was good, but cold when it came out. Also had to wait 2 hours for a seat at the bar...

"Love it! Even more than Lilia. Little gem salad was great.. fettuccine, rigatoni & occhi.. all were great and of course the ricotta appetizer. And you don’t wanna miss the gelato"

"Solid Italian food in a beautifully designed space. Love the decor details, including bathrooms. Saffron pasta is unexpected and really good🍝. Chicken is OK, meatballs worth ordering, dessert 👍🏻"

"The baked clams are a "don't miss" dish & so is the chicken francese. The pork chops with peppers (sweet or hot, or both) is the city's most perfect evocation of that dish."

"awesome for cocktails and light food options - great for oysters or just charcuterie & cheese. this place is kinda hidden away and doesn't get as packed as some of it's neighbors."

"Grab a cocktail, get outside and enjoy it whilst soaking up the absolute best view of Manhattan from Brooklyn."
Shaun Tollerton ⚡️ - 8.1
"Love this place. Never too crowded and ace drinks. Faves include basil lime gimlet, jalapeño and black currant tequila, and the rosemary and ginger bourbon."
