Asli SJanuary 12, 2021Cute back patio (got cold towards end of meal tho). Good for dates. Nice variety on the menu. Fettuccine w/ chicken & mushrooms was good - cooked al dente. Also try the calamari & fried zucchini.
Jacob ForsterJune 22, 2015Get the Fusilli Norcina Sausage & Parsley! It's so good! The prices are very affordable and it's a super cozy atmosphere.
DipikaSeptember 26, 2014Great date spot or to catch up with friends. Definitely reserve in their garden if you can! Love that it's so close to the high line and fairly inexpensive for the city!Upvoted Feb 25
Got the antipasto misto, ravioli with bolegnese and veal scallopine - all were delicious. My only complaint was the courses came out quickly - order slowly if you don't want to eat dinner in 40 min!- Cole KennedyJuly 11, 2016Perfect spot for a late pasta dinner, especially if you can sit in the garden. Loved the pappardelle with sausage in spicy tomato sauce.
Albert TongNovember 19, 2016Great atmosphere at this Italian spot. Ask for a seat in the garden in the back. It's covered even when it's cold.
Lee HoffmanDecember 6, 2014One of the best chicken milanese pasta and broccoli garlic and oil in the city - and totally affordable - love this place
Elena MuehterDecember 31, 2016The eggplant mozzarella rigatoni is incredible! And very affordable. Get here early to avoid a wait!
David ZhangJanuary 7, 2017Solid little Italian place with a cozy neighborhood vibe. the pastas are all great and come in generous portions
Amy LeighJanuary 23, 2014Crispy zucchini with garlic confit and fire roasted cherry tomatoes is amazing! Penne ala vodka also very solid. And as other tips said, very reasonable prices!
Edward FabilaJune 15, 2018their Prosecco is bubbly, crisp and divine...order a bottle! From pasta to desserts, everything is top notch and delicious
Melodie YoungMarch 20, 2012Very charming Italian place. Great place to take a date: romantic lighting, nice ambiance, and delicious food that doesn't cost very much. Their Valentine's Day prix fixe was AMAZING.
KatyaFebruary 22, 2013Old school Italian at old school prices! Hands down fav dinner spot in Chelsea. Try the gnocchi or the black fettuccini (if they have it as a special).
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Great lunch special and backyard patio. Food isn't special, but it's always yummy.
Devin BasileJune 25, 2016Peaceful courtyard getaway hidden in the back of the restaurant. Some of the best sautéed calamari this Italian has had....
Victoria NatenzonMay 3, 2014You must go to the back! Adorable little garden where you can sit and eat.
scott krauseAugust 9, 2015Unpretentious, low-key, quiet Italian comfort food. Gorgeous back area garden. Great food reasonably priced.
- Anna da SilvaMarch 6, 2018This is an interior shot of the new location, a few blocks from the previous location.
Casual local haunt with great service and reasonably priced delicious food.- Sebastian DörnerOctober 30, 2015Pasta with Chicken and mushrooms was really great. They even served it with tomato sauce at my request!
Sarah KimFebruary 22, 2020Lunch menu hits the spot. Ask for a side of pesto to dip your bread in! Super Yum.
Penne alla vodka with a carafe of house red wine 🍷
Sahrish IJuly 31, 2018Great food, lovely ambiance and very accommodating staff for big parties. Highly recommended!
Alexander McRaeNovember 1, 2018Lunch special is a steal. Menu says 1/2 panini and 1/2 soup but they looked full size to me.
ZuleikaMay 12, 2014The penne with tomato basil and fresh mozzarella is amazing with a salad for $10 (lunch special)
Love this place: all the pasta dished are amazing, the house wine is good and they have a lovely backyard, perfect for a date!
I miss the old one. But the new one is still good. Prices went up. Service is better.
Amanda VinciJanuary 24, 2015Delicious homemade pasta, gnocchi and eggplant rigatoni were authentic. Great prices.
Gino M.June 3, 2014Great price and decor but the food falls short. Neither authentic nor classic Italian-American. Undercooked pasta (not al dente) but their tomato sauce was actually pretty good.
Rami Haykal-ManningMay 1, 2016Ravioli bolognese and the vodka sauce were delicious. Great prices too
Just amazing food! You must try calamari and pear cake for desert!
Vishal SapraJune 26, 2011Secret gem. Pastas are top-notch. Good tiramasu, as well. Very well priced. Also close to Tia Pol, another fav.
