    Fantastic and quant little Sicilian joint in SoHo. Had my family of 6 there for lunch and everyone loved it. Place was adorable and the servers were super attentive and all over it. We didn’t wait for a drink, a dish removal or even a dropped fork. Food was super flavorful and fresh and of very high quality. Easy to see why this place is highly rated. Very highly recommended!!

    Went for Thanksgiving dinner. It was super crowded but the service was so efficient. I was surprised how generous the portions were given the prefix menu was very affordable for a 3 course meal. The price of the drinks weren’t that bad either. I have to really credit the manager for super efficient service despite the craziness of how busy it was.

    We had a wonderful time dinning here on thanksgiving. Food was fantastic. We got the eggplant appetizer, the butternut squash soup and their signature ground lamb appetizer. The lamb was my least favorite because it was just too gamy for me. I’m middle eastern and eat a lot of ground beef like that but this one just wasn’t one i would ever order again. For dinner i got the bone in fillet which was also wonderful. We had the chocolate baklava and it was delicious. Definitely a great restaurant. I had the Aegean margarita, so delicious.

    My family came from out of town for Thanksgiving and we decided to role the dice on eating out. We heard horror stories. We made the mistake of not including our kids as guest for the reservation and we thought our nightmare had begun. But the hostess made an exception and it was all uphill from there. From the ambiance to the service to the food, everything was seriously perfect. I never write reviews and this place made me take the time and write one. Every manager, every server, everyone was happy to be there, even on Thanksgiving. They really made it so welcoming and inviting. Every interaction was memorable it was insane. And don’t get me started on the food. O.M.G. This place was a blessing and for thanksgiving we were thankful for each team member, the food, and overall experience. We will be back!!!!!

    I have been here several times and the food, service, atmosphere and overall experience is consistently awesome. The prices are actually reasonable for NYC which makes it even better. I will continue to come back during the week and on the weekends when there is a nice party vibe later in the night.
