Oh my gosh, I was delighted, this place is not only beutiful on the inside, the service and food is impeccable. The selection of dishes, and freshness of all the ingredients is great. To top it off, they have a great atmosphere in the heart of Brooklyn with accommodation for groups. Highly recommend.

All I can say is wow, first time taking my family here. The food is unbelievable priced fairly fresh and portion size is good. So much better then all these run of the mill Italian places in bay ridge. Staff is great, place is really nice and clean, I’ve been missing out for years by not eating here. Everything is home made - they make their own pasta. Last night was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Staff was excellent. Skip the other places and just come here....
