Be prepared to be transported right into Sicily! This quaint restaurant in SoHo exceed all expectations. I will say- the resturant is TINY. But it makes the experience intimate and unique. My mom and I had each tried a different wine recommended by the waiter, both amazing. We started with the Arancino Catanese (rice balls with meat rage sauce & mozzarella) and they were actually unreal. We then shared the Cacio E Pepe and the Gnocci with clams (it was the special for the night so not on the menu but I’m sure the Gnocchi on the menu is amazing as well.) I would skip on the Cacio E Pepe and order as much Gnocchi as possible because it was SO freaking amazing. Don’t get me wrong, the Cacio E Pepe was still good but it just didn’t compare to the Gnocchi. For dessert we had the Cannolis and chamomile tea. If I lived in New York I would visit over and over again! When I return this will be my first stop❤️
