Unbelievable. I went in with high expectations and, not only were they met, they were completely obliterated. Food, service (Daya), atmosphere.... I loved every bit of it. Only my first visit, but if subsequent visits even come close, I'm ready to call this the best Italian restaurant in Bay Ridge. Where have you been all my life?

Ate here for the first time last week and have ordered twice since then. The grilled calamari is amazing.. I would eat this everyday. The steak is also equally delicious. Tried a risotto and pasta dish and again top notch- do not hesitate and just try this place! You will not regret it.

Came in last minute, waitress was super chill. We did that thing where you ask for them to decide between a few dishes, they were super fun about it. Overall, food was amazing, everything coming out of the kitchen was amazing and our dishes of appetizers, pastas, meats and what nots were all delicious. Dessert is also always special in this place, their espresso ice cream and their olive oil cake are may favorite. Ordered a salmon and it hit the spot: portions are massive. Prices are more than fair.

This place is incredible. The food was so tasty, so well priced. Place is super cozy and relaxing. But what really made the experience was the waitress Day. She was so kind and helpful, very attentive. Because of the great food and service we will definitely be coming

Excellent home-cooked Italian food in a casual restaurant/café atmosphere. Small inviting restaurant with a good feeling. The seafood risotto was unbelievable and highly recommended.

Was there on Saturday with my family. Everything’s 10 out of 10. Server Lisa was super friendly and attentive , she provided such a good service. The food was amazing. I had fettuccine with short rib and it was easily the best pasta I’ve ever had! Place was pretty busy and it was super noisy for us, but we didn’t have to wait long. I’ll definitely be there this weekend.
