    The chef’s recommendations were nothing short of perfection! The Pinot Noir paired beautifully, elevating the experience even further. Despite the cozy size of the restaurant, typical of Little Italy, the atmosphere felt open and comfortable.

    Food was just okay. For authentic Italian, spaghetti tasted like I made it on my stovetpp. They was out of lasagna. We had service from 4 different people.

    Food was good especially mozzarella sticks and calamari. The pasta was good, but not as good as I thought based on other's reviews. Very large portions.

    Best pasta sauce in all of NYC 🧑‍🍳💋 so cute and cozy inside, only waited 15 minutes for a table. The service was a little slow but to be expected in a busy area. All 5 of us loved our meals.
