“Came for Lunch and was surprised at how nice and cozy the restaurant is. The Ambiance is pretty good and the service as well. The food was pretty good. The appetizer I had was really good especially when paired with thier bread. The calamari is also pretty good and well portioned. For the main course the pasta was cooked well and the sauce and seafood was excellent. All in all it was a true tuscan delight, I highly recommend this place.”

“After leaving several spots in SoHo due to long wait times and tiny seating areas, we stumbled upon this delightful gem. It’s classic old-school Italian with jazz playing in the background. The food and service were both excellent. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to NYC.”

“Best Italian food ever! We had the grilled eggplant with smoked mozzarella, lamb and beef meatballs, and homemade pasta with boar ragu. All were delicious! The homemade ricotta cheesecake was the best dessert I’ve ever had! So light and not too sweet, filled with vanilla buttery goodness! The service was excellent!”

“Went for a friend’s birthday party, the service and the food were superb. The setting is a little rustic and traditional but for me that is part of the charm of the place. The endive salad was very good. The truffle panna cotta and the branzino were great. The espresso coffee was fine but not great. The ricotta cheesecake was one of the best I’ve tried in New York. Highly recommended.”

“We had made a reservation for 2 people at the restaurant. We were seated upstairs near a screen shielding the restroom, and a view to the busy kitchen. Throughout our dinner there were patrons waiting to use the restroom. Halfway through, the screen was moved to give us full view of restroom and more people waiting to use it. Not a pleasant setup for a nice meal. In addition, empty plates and unused utensils were cleared from our table while one of us was still eating. This was unnecessary, rushed and impolite. During dessert we were presented with the bill and the device to pay with a credit card while we were still eating dessert and finishing our cocktails. Again, unnecessarily rushed and rude! The food was very good although pricey. Unfortunately no prices indicated on the online menu when we booked and that should have been an indication of what to expect. The burrata salad was about $28 and 3 cocktails came to $75, striploin entree was $68. The bill was $350 for 2 people (incl tip). Given the ambience and the feeling of being rushed we were not thrilled with how much we ended up spending for 3 cocktails, 2 salads, 2 entrees and 2 desserts, tip (and $10 fee for using a credit card).”
