    Excellent food and service. Had a timed dining limit but never felt rushed during the busy Saturday dining service. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    Truly enjoyed discovering this upper East Side neighborhood favorite. While the noise level at capacity made it difficult to have a conversation, the staff could have been more welcoming and accommodating. The menu variety was fine and we all found something to enjoy.

    This was my first time eating here. Service was excellent and I found the restaurant to be cozy and charming. For appetizers, we had the fig and prosciutto crostini and the burrata. Both were delicious. For our main, I had the Cacio e Pepe, had a little too much pepper, but was good. My friend had the cod, which he said was good. We skipped dessert. Overall, a really nice, warm, friendly experience and presentation of the dishes were great! I will return.
