    Married to an Italian who missed grandma’s feast of the seven fishes. Finally found a restaurant close to home that served it on Christmas Eve and it did not disappoint! 10/10 absolutely amazing! While a 3 hour dinner isn’t for everyone, it’s truly an experience! Service was outstanding, food was incredible, overall fantastic! Will definitely be back before next Christmas. Sarah was perfect! And the 2 managers we interacted with (by choice to share the positive) were so hospitable. Great job by all!

    Loved the ambience at this cozy little restaurant. The decor was beautiful and the food was to die for. Especially recommend the burrata. Was nice to sit down to a quiet and relaxing dinner after a day on the busy streets of the big apple.

    The waiters were so sweet very attractive very kind. The small plates were fine nothing out of this world, but still good. The paella was honestly a little sad. The rice didn’t have any flavor to be honest.

    We went here for dinner at 5:30, so I it may not be true of a later crowded space, but the tapas & service were outstanding at that time. We can't wait to go back when the weather is better to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views.
