    Lovely atmosphere, good service and great food. Plus the location is perfect if you’re going to see a show on Broadway.

    What a lovely find on W. 46th St. (restaurant row) in/near the theater district. The perfect place for pre or post-theater dining with a late Happy Hour feature (currently 8 pm to closing). The food was excellent, the service attentive, but not overbearing. Best of all it was QUIET. Very nice to not have to yell at your dining companions to be heard. Highly, highly recommended. We’ll be back!

    My favorite pre-theater haunt. Haven't visited since the pandemic and so happy to be back. BEST pizza in NYC , wonderful pastas and mains. Menu is smaller than pre-pandemic and prices are higher...but such is life. I'll be back soon and often!
