From me to you
Well ... it took me a while, but I am finally writing this review. I would like to start out by saying if there was a 10 ? system I would without hesitation give this Fine dining restaurant all 10 stars ( my only regret in doing so is that it will be more difficult to get a table whenever I return ) where do I begin ... Although I have lived in Brooklyn my entire life - 56 years - I first dined here in mid April - although there was initially some mix up about the reservation that had been made, that was quickly remedied when a table was set up for us by the bar ( a party in the party room was just finishing ) we thought we might be forgotten, but it couldn't have been further from the truth - in fact my friends ( whose30 th wedding anniversary we were celebrating ) said it was one of the best experiences they had of the numerous times they had dined here ( all of which were fabulous ) We started with the baked clams, arugala salad with mozzarella & prosciutto ... For entrees we had The pork chop with asparagus, & freshly made on the premises linguine with pine nuts The 2nd time I was here ( was unfortunately for a dinner break when attending the wake for my friend's brother ) we were a group of about 10 & called to make sure they could accommodate us - when we arrived 15 minutes later the table was set up & several servers were there to take our drink & entree orders as we were on a pretty limited time of about an hour. From the time our drinks arrived, not a step was missed ( it was like a symphony Orchestra was being conducted ) the wonderful rolls arrived perfectly warm from the oven - & stayed warm while buttering ! All of our entrees arrived almost in unisen & were PERFECT !! The entrees were linguine with clams, rigatoni with eggplant, stuffed fillet seafood special with spinach & even eggplant & chicken parm - which weren't on the menu, but were happy to accommodate { all pasta is freshly made on the premises } Although we didn't have room, or time for dessert & coffee, we enjoyed the delectable cookies that were brought to the table - my favorite cookies ! ( we were out by the time we needed to return to the wake ) AND the 3 rd time I returned was for my belated birthday dinner - we were greeted warmly, the entree I chose was a special - wide ribbon pasta with ribeye steak cubes in a cream sauce - EXCELLENT !! Always attention to details - never miss a beat - whether it is topping off a glass of sparkling water, or a glass of wine when ordering a bottle ! The family owners are genuinely warm & the servers are also ( & are perfectly trained in how to be Outstanding !! ) < never any bad attitudes like I have experienced in some other restaurants > THIS IS THE WAY A FINE RESTAURANT SHOULD BE RUN !! Never disappoints !! Oh ... & the atmosphere is beautiful - I felt like I was transported to a quaint Italian village ! Buonissimo !!

Lovely atmosphere, attentive servers, fabulous food! Antipasto with prosciutto, salami, mozz, provolone, mushrooms, olives, artichokes, eggplant, roasted peppers, and stuffed hot peppers was yummy, all homemade pasta, beef ragu on pappardelle with a burrata on top particularly good. Nice wine selection. Just a wonderful place for a great Italian meal!

I recently came to this restaurant to celebrate a birthday party. They have a very nice party room here. The setup was excellent. It was very spacious. We started off the party having some drinks. The Espresso Martini was a big hit, as everyone seemed to order one. After a bit, lots of appetizers were coming around to try, and they were all great. For my main meal, I had penne with vodka sauce and chicken francese. I really enjoyed these food items. The sauce used on the penne was to die for. It was amazing. The chicken francese was so good, too. I loved the lemon sauce on it. And the chicken was cooked perfectly. Not dry at all. Everything was really tasty. Overall, this was a nice place, and I had a great time. Highly recommended.

It was my family and I’s first time dining at this fine neighborhood establishment, though we have been in the area for over two decades. I cannot believe it took us this long to try. You will not be disappointed from the moment you step in. The staff is very friendly and our waiter was Leo. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu, the history of the restaurant and is very diligent. The food was phenomenal and did not take long to come out. I will most definitely be back if I am looking for a great local Italian spot to support. This place is great for dates, casual dinners, dates, business meetings, birthdays, and large groups.

I have to start off by saying the service was excellent. The wait staff was attentive and we never needed to ask for anything except the check. The food was also very good but the bread was excellent. I read some of the negative reviews and was surprised, but we were treated like 1st class.
