Krystle MobayeniOctober 26, 2011Interesting wine option: they put the bottle on the table and you only pay for what you drink.
Dilani KahawalaNovember 22, 2015Skip truffle week pasta - couldn't really smell or taste the truffle. Kind of disappointed.
Danyel SmithMay 13, 2015bartender was cool af but pappardelle was all stuck together + sauces were bland. menu has been trimmed. kinda fell off?
Raja HFebruary 17, 2012Prices are misleading. Smaller portions that what you might expect. Very tight seating.
Amanda AlbergoAugust 19, 2013The chicken parm is out of this world. Best gravy in NYC (counting my mom's!). Skip the polenta/bolognese plank though... It's basically a slop poured on some wood and is missing substance.
Samantha OrtizJanuary 20, 2014SO Disappointing. Bolognese tastes like Chef Boyardee. Were in and out in 15 mins, defiantly felt rushed. Couldn't even finish my food, that bad tasting.
!:gem:!November 17, 2012Cash only. Only go in groups. Too many tables close together...noisy, unromantic, very young crowd. Food...meh
- Matthew KennedyJuly 22, 2012Do not GO. Bolognese pomperdelle was disgusting. Horrid service. Pretentious staff, lax food, bad water.
Diego BaldinDecember 29, 2013Awesome Place & Great food! Peça um spaghetti com meatballs, a massa é caseira feita no próprio restaurante. Melhor comida italiana de NY, lembrou a comida da minha Nona.
Tim HohApril 4, 2015Sehr gute Pasta. Leider Musik etwas zu laut und Tischaufstellung unpraktisch (Tische in Reihen, sehr eng).

The neighborhood knows us for our heritage chicken parm, grass-fed beef meatballs, homemade pasta, and extra thin crust pizza, but what people really come back for is the thing that anchors it all: the sauce...
