I don't normally bother with reviewing places but I think this place deserves one! I can't speak on the fridge dinner-prepped foods cause that's not really my thing, but the sandwiches and rice balls here are fantastic, definitely some of the best I've had in NY when it comes to quality. The place is pricey, which also is not usually my thing, but it's clear to me why the prices are higher than other places (besides the area), and reason being is the quality of ingredients and care put into the food. The recipes for everything are exactly as they should be, every flavor is dialed in very carefully and clearly this place is run by someone who knows Italian food like the back of their hand and has a genuine love for it. Their coffee and tiramisu is great too! They've won me over, and I am not impressed by much these days. Last but not least, the staff there are absolutely lovely. Every time I go in there are guys preparing it all with what seems to be a lot of detail and attention, and the lady who's always working the register when I'm there is doing a great job and is sweet.

I've been to a birthday party you catered for less than 30 minutes and have inhaled one pesto rice ball AND an Italian combo. Both were so lovely and tasty. I can't wait to try it all! 15/10

Cute place, but not so tasty balls. Porcini and mozzarella lacked flavour, ragu was probably the best and the truffle with mushrooms was underwhelming. All balls served at different temperatures ranging from burning hot to lukewarm. Friendly service but not coming back for balls anytime soon.

The sandwiches were amazing, reminded me of when I went to Rome, great quality, flavor, and very kind staff, is it pricey? A bit but I’d definitely say worth it!
Can’t wait to come back again and try different sandwiches!
Only came because my partner and I bought pesto sauce from a farmers market up in Beacon!

I got a sandwich from them with mozzarella and ham and pesto, all insanely stupidly delicious. This will absolutely be my go to in the future. Highly highly recommended.

Very disappointed. The Ragu balls both large and small contained minuscule pieces of meat. So small I could not easily identify any meat . Not worth 8$ a ball. We tried the force mini ballls as well , same story. Also tried eggplant. Tiny pieces of eggplant. Overpriced and underwhelming. Better rice balls at our local pizza shop.

Absolutely horrible. Please do not come here and do NOT take your kids here. Very unwelcoming environment, cold food and bitter staff. I brought my daughter’s here who were glared at from top to bottom in an inappropriate way by the male staff. They do not care about the customers. Extremely unprofessional.

More like 4.5 stars than 5.Never heard of a risotto ball, and they were delicious. We got the Ragu, Margherita, and Pesto risotto balls. They were all good. Flavors weren’t too pungent like I prefer but I wouldn’t say they lacked flavor. It was delicate. Textures were ON POINT, lovely crisp on the outside. They used grass fed beef which is a huge plus for me. The person working there was very nice as well.I only wish the price was lower based on what you get. But I’d consider this a treat
An interesting variety of risotto balls but we left underwhelmed. The carbonara ball had a good flavor but the bacon was super chewy - we would have preferred crispy to contrast the soft interior (3.5/5). The eggplant Parm lacked flavor, we usually love eggplant dishes but this was a miss (3/5). Our favorite thing was their health drinks - the fridge was too cold so unfortunately we had to wait for the drink to defrost but it was worth it (4.5/5).

Small place, delicious rice balls. They also have some great looking sandwiches, but didn’t try those!
I ordered lunch to pick up from here recently and really enjoyed it. The guy working there was very friendly and personable. He waited till I arrived to heat it up so it could be hot and fresh. It only took a few minutes and it was packed nicely. I got the roasted eggplant focaccia sandwich, porcini mushroom risotto ball, and a pesto mozzarella risotto ball. Everything tasted great, especially the risotto balls. The prices are decent and I appreciated there were lots of vegetarian options. They also have coffee and pastries, including some tasty sfogliatelle. When I come back, it’ll be because of the food and the friendly vibes.
