   Very cute little place in the East Village. Started with the mista salad that was very good-a decent sized mix of greens, some tomatoes, goat cheese, and a tangy lemon vinaigrette. Our table of four had the truffle gnocchi (a top seller), fried truffle gnocchi, and the tri color sampler for two (a top seller). They were all tasty however the gnocchi were heavy and the fried were chewy. Well-made gnocchi should be soft, light, and melt-in-your-mouth, with a delicate texture, not tough or chewy at all. I’m perplexed at all of the amazing reviews of the gnocchi- maybe it was a bad night? The Nutella gnocchi desert is what you expect - tough but covered in Nutella and powdered sugar. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They made sure we had our drinks and water and quickly changed the sharing plates.

   We were not seated until 7:30 despite having a reservation for 7. However, it was well worth the wait!! Incredible food and wine!

   IF I COULD GIVE MORE THAN 5 STARS, I WOULD. Everything about our dinner was absolutely superb! Our waiter, Giorgio, was very attentive and answered our questions about the menu. I would definitely recommend going on a week night because it wasn’t crowded at all. I had the gnocchi sorrentina, which was the best pasta I have ever tasted. Two of our party shared the gnocchi trio which was delectable. The fourth in our party had the rigatoni with the four cheese sauce and that was also very good, especially since they specialize in gnocchi. I cannot wait to come back for more!!!

    To start, they were so helpful and respectful when I called mentioning I would be late due to heavy traffic and they still put us in a seat once we got there. Funny part is when driving up to the place, kind of looks like a hole in the wall so you wouldn't expect to want to walk in but when you finally walk into this small gem, the ambiance is so energetic and the decor pops to make it a romantic spot. The staff, from the host to the waiter were respectful and very good. The waiter doesn't rush you at all and you get to enjoy a good glass of wine and chat. Finally, the food. For a place you wouldn't think would have good food, well you would be wrong. We started with the appetizers which was the prosciutto and burrata. The prosciutto wasn't salty at all which blended very well with how good the burrata was. Just wow. Then another appetizer is the Carpaccio meat with arugula salad and topped with a shredded cheese. That also blended great together. Moving to the dinner, my wife had the popular Vodka Gnocchi. That tasted just right. The flavor of the vodka sauced mixed with the Gnocchi very well. The vodka sauce wasn't overpowering. I had the Carbonara Gnocchi. The egg, italian bacon, and white wine sauced was the best mix. Full of flavor on my dish. Finally, the dessert. The host kept coming to us to see if we were doing good. She was great. She recommended the Nutella Fried Gnocchi and I took the first bite into it and immediately knew, they were their word when it says nutella and not just some plain chocolate. This dessert was great with the nutella and white powered sugar on top. Hit the spot. To finish the night, for our wedding anniversary, they provided 2 glasses of prosecco. I would fully recommend this restaurant to anyone and go back to try the other dishes. Thank you!
