Meredith BlechmanJanuary 14, 2017Go early to snag a bar seat (but still plan to wait for said bar seat. Don't worry, they have a cafe bar in the back). Awesome atmosphere with an open kitchen, and amazing energy.
Ruby NMay 20, 2016Overhyped, along with everything else. Food is good for sure, but nothing I'd run back for.
AlekseyOctober 20, 2017Pasta is too salty, and not that nice. Chanterelles in the middle of the season are served only as marinated. Overhyped restaurant.
- Alves PeeriNovember 20, 2020Fantastic pasta. The agnolotti was sweet and finished with a warm ginger apple. It started with delicious mozzarella, then the mafaldini.
Tricia BeanFebruary 2, 2019Cacio e Pepe Fritelle, drinks and service at small bar great! Ignored at dinner. Server would not recommend a dish. Rigatoni Diavola cold and chewy. Go to Frankies 457 Spuntino, Evelina or Rucola.
Pratheeksha KSNovember 17, 2020Jumped on this hype train because why not. Cacio e Pepe balls were average. Focaccia average. Broccoli good. Radicchio good. Mafaldini and agnolotti pretty good. Caveat: we ate outside at 48F
Camilo AngelAugust 3, 2021Buen italiano para salir con la esposa. La ensalada verde deliciosa, las almejas y mejillones buenísimos, pero lo mejor las pastas. Muchas migas de pan. El vino Nebbiolo Langhe 2020 pésimo.

"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."
