We passed by this restaurant and was drawn to the wooden decor ceilings and open space. The toasted buns paired well with the jam. Fairly standard Italian pasta. The waiters were oddly slow for taking orders and handing out checks despite fairly limited customers. That said, the servers were very quick with the food and cheese/black pepper.
Had a reservation and was sitting in our table within a few minutes. The staff were polite and attentive. Visited during NYC restaurant week on 1/31/26 they had a prix-fixe menu that offered an antipasti, entree and dessert which were all good portions and excellent flavors. The red bean soup was to die for specially on a cold winter night. The flavors exploded in my mouth. The bread bowl was perfect and the toasty bread gave it a nice balance. The Rigatoni vodka was delicious, creamy cooked to the right texture, had a spicy kick that I did not mind. The berry tart dessert with vanilla bean ice cream was light, smooth and not too sweet. Definitely will return again.
This is my kinda place! Feels like it was designed for men. The carbonara came in a big bowl and I devoured it all. The martinis 🍸 were excellent… and only $12 at happy hour. Meatballs and oysters great. Free bread (yum) comes with a cool container of olive oil and some tomato bruschetta. Happy hour lasts until closing so you’re not rushed. I’ll be back!
Absolutely great service and superb quality food. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated. The service and treatment by the staff was excellent, we were tended to and checked on consistently. We weren’t rushed even after we finished our meals. Beautiful restaurant and the energy was well. My husband booked this restaurant and it was an excellent choice. The food is fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to return and try other items on the menu,
Why does a restaurant charge $25 for a glass of wine yet roll the chicken breast through a mill to make it 1/8 inch thick and dry and tasteless? Other NYC restaurants do the same. I’m sorry, but it is just lazy if you can’t make a juicy chicken breast. It is my third and last time here. I tried to enjoy the food because it is near my home, but it is not good.
