We went here after a Broadway show on Friday night, great atmosphere, good energy, gritty and authentic contemporary Italian hipster aesthetics, refreshing compared to those other tired and cliché Italian American tourist spots in the neighborhood. That being said, there is better pizza to be had in town and I wasn’t impressed with my cocktail. But worth it for the atmosphere and would go back again if in the neighborhood.

We came by during the holidays after we visited Italy. To our surprise the food tasted just the same as if you did go to Italy. The service was so delightful too. We actually just wanted to use the restroom because we were exploring the city but I’m so glad we decided to eat here. We will definitely want to come back.

Came here to reunite with some friends and their grown kids whom we hadn't seen in awhile. Food was delicious (pastas, pizzas, those Brussels sprouts!). Gluten-free options were on point for the few of us that desired/needed them. Service was pleasant, though not overly friendly. Noise level was high; didn't bother me, but something to consider in one's planning. We will return!
