Lia ValengoMarch 24, 2014Super nice hostess. Didn't like the bruschettas, but the meatball and fried calamaris are delicious. The place is beautiful, but TVs are too much.
Will DehnertSeptember 7, 2014Pizza is great- worth coming just for that. Two other sides we had were not so good - eggplant caponata and the salad.
Keiko MOctober 14, 2012Great atmosphere and in nice neighborhood . Music little too loud and little too hot if you sit near the pizza oven
Cozy spot! Loved the fried ricotta appetizer and ravioli for dinner.
Jillian NicholsOctober 12, 2014Cozy and romantic Italian place. The pappardelle with pork ragu is delicious.
Lindsay GregoryFebruary 18, 2014The best Italian on the upper west side! Go there, but maybe not on a Saturday night unless you feel like waiting...
Great pizzas! Try the Calabrese. All the pasta dishes are yummy too. Love the Orichette and the Pappardelle with pork ragu.- Samantha McDonaldFebruary 14, 2016Had an intimate date night made even better with the tartufo and wine pairing.
Only boring people skip dessert. Don't be boring. Get the ricotta/Nutella calzone with walnuts and powdered sugar. And use a fork & knife for god's sake.

Trae FJanuary 29, 2016Disappointing. The risotto balls were cold in the center. The pizza was soggy with the cheese barely melted so the toppings just fell off when you lifted up the slice to eat it. Cool atmosphere tho.
The place is dark and loud, but the orecchiette is amazing- Michelle CoudonOctober 17, 2011Try the crispy fried calamari & funghi misti pizza! Loved the rustic decor & upscale casual vibe :)
Everything here is great! Salad and pasta portions are huge.

Theresa RoldanAugust 25, 2018Lasagne was so amazing. Worth every penny....and it wasn’t even overpriced.
- MikeyJuly 29, 2019Bad experience at dinner. Service was slow on a Friday night and the pizza was very doughy. Would not recommend for dinner. Apparently brunch is great though...
MaiMaiNovember 21, 2011Small bites eggplant, shrooms, beets - awesome. Loved papardelle too. Fun wine opts 2 try.
Colette QDecember 29, 2011Order the cavatappi pasta & nutella ricotta calzone for dessert. You're welcome;) xoxo
Loved the shrimp scampi and the pork chop.with fried polenta and broccoli rabe

"Great little gem on the UWS. The portions are plentiful and the food is authentic. I recommend their Lasagna & Rigatoni Bolognese. Do leave room for dessert, Torta di Ricotta & Tiramisu are fantastic"
