    We were a part of 10 and the restaurant was quiet for a Thursday night. We were well taken care of by the wait staff and the bartender. The food was delicious. Recommendations for appetizers were family style and everyone was happy with their entree choices. I will definitely go back.

    Excellent food and service. Variety of meat and seafood, nice size portions. The scallopini was excellent, great flavor. Ricotta cheesecake for dessert was amazing.

    Dependable Italian restaurant off Irving Place in New York City. Has been around a long time and has a dedicated following. The food is very good and I would say the pastas are outstanding. Service is excellent and most accommodating. Go, you won't be disappointed.

    A neighborhood staple, this family run restaurant never disappoints. The Italian dishes are expertly prepared and very delicious. The menu has a wide variety of gourmet preparations, as well as expected standards. They offer a reasonable prix fixe menu in addition to their regular a la carte dishes, and daily specials. Service is gracious and the ambiance makes for a cozy, comfortable opportunity to enjoy dinner and conversation. Highly recommend. My husband and I just spent a delightful New Year’s eve there last night and look forward to going back soon.
