    Quaint spot with very little signage. Service was great. Antonio was very nice. Just there when we needed. We had an appetizer. Mozzarella roses. I had the artichoke salad and the gnocchi pesto for a main. Wine was excellent. Small spot with everything you need for a great night.

    Our pasta dishes (short rib ravioli and bolognese) were delicious. You can tell it’s made from scratch. Portions are plentiful and prices are reasonable. Service was friendly and attentive. Alberto was awesome! Would dine here again.

    All our 3 pasta dishes were undercooked. Tasty chewy and dough. Very disappointing for $170 for 3 people with 2 drinks.

    We received fantastic service from Alberto, which made for a wonderful Valentine’s Day date night with their prix fixe menu. The dishes served extremely well with their suggested wine pairings. The ventilation for the restaurant has improved dramatically in the last couple years, resulting in a much more pleasant indoor dining experience. Amazing hole-in-the-wall spot in East Village that should not be overlooked.
