All four of us had delicious dishes!! My wife and I had the minestrone soup which was outstanding! Perhaps the best minestrone soup I've ever had! My mushroom pizza was great as was my son's chicken parmesan and my nephew's burger. Great food! Why not 5 stars overall? 1) for a Trattoria, the pasta choices were extremely limited-and I really wanted to eat pasta, none of their options were particularly appealing; 2) we ate lunch and unfortunately they only have one menu, a dinner menu with dinner menu prices (ouch!); and 3) the decor/ambiance was to a certain extent a little spartan. Certainly more in line with a "pub" than a "trattoria". But if I would have looked at the photos a little closer I'm sure I would have realized that so "shame on me." Overall would I recommend them? Yes, but know that it's more of a pub atmosphere than a trattoria.

Halloween night and the place was done up for the holiday-including staff. Polpete, salate di casa, orechiette, tiramisu. Excellent from start to finish. Definite neighborhood vibe. Comfortable. Friendly.

Really tasty and delicious food. Homemade pasta, chicken Parmesan is to die for and super large portion. Meatballs are very tasty and a different take on sausage and peppers that's really good with homemade focaccia bread.  Also, homemade tiramisu Definitely worth a visit

Service - the lady at the front podium and our waitress were excellent. Friendly and attentive. The busser kept our water glasses full and our table clear, as needed. The man that helped with parking (owner?) was also very friendly. The food was excellent and it was a great evening. Would recommend for a date night or just family night out.

Service was good. Restaurant was very noisy, high ceiling , difficult to hear friends. Food was very weak in flavor, we all had pasta.

The pasta is always top notch and the special spicy vodka with goat cheese was tremendous. The whipped ricotta with honey was disappointing as it was sloppily presented but the char on the bread overcame it. Would always recommend a date night here.

Happy, smiley service. A nicely curated cocktail selection. Yummy food in VERY generous portions. We were lucky enough to get the rooftop patio to ourselves and it was perfect for our birthday get together!

Terrific food and service at this quaint and beautifully decorated space. Met friends there and look forward to going back. Highly recommend!!

This is an excellent Italian trattoria in the Little Italy neighborhood. Friendly, cozy and beautiful, the restaurant ties the past to the present with generous helpings and tasty offerings. A special gem on Taylor street.

Haven't been to Peanut Park in a few years, but quality is still the same. The Focaccia appetizer is hands down a must order. The Chicken Parm is a go to, we split the half portion which was perfect for two pairing it the Cacio e Pepe (or any past dish). Next time we plan on ordering Pizza which looked amazing coming out of the brick oven.

Disappointing, we won't be back. The menu is limited and the pasta was not good. Calamari was a ridiculously small serving.

Kind of a hidden gem on Taylor St. in Little Italy. Cute pub with great food and excellent service. The prices are very reasonable, and portion sizes are very large. We don't get to this area very often, but would definitely be back!

The passionfruit martini and their homemade pasta is a must get!! The tables are packed tight but this will be on my regular rotation!!! Cannot say enough good things !!! So delicious

The service was extraordinary! Dave, owner, was so kind and nice to meet. I had a wonderful Mother's Day lunch with my family. Oh, the pizza was amazing as was the tiramisu. Thank you!!!!
