I have eaten here a number of times before with my boyfriend and had great food and service. Last night I dined with a girl friend. For various reasons we ordered just an entree each and she had a glass of wine. I guess the waiter was annoyed that we didn't order more because at times he was a bit rude and seemed somewhat annoyed and begrudging when asked for the black and the red pepper shakers or more water. It will make me think twice before I consider a return with my sister or any other of my girl friends.

It has become my new favorite place. Small, great service, great food (watermelon salad, veal chop 😊), wonderful gin martini.

First time at this restaurant and the food was just so good. We had a lovely waiter and he was very attentive. Will for sure be going back.

This is a great little neighborhood restaurant. The food is delicious. My friend and I each ordered a watermelon salad, with a drizzle of balsamic, fresh basil, and feta. It was so fresh and pretty, I felt like it was something Martha Stewart would make if I were to be invited to her house for dinner. We got the eggplant parmigiana balls with melted burrata cheese. They paired perfectly with the toasted bread they brought to the table. Next we had Shrimp Scampi over linguine. The shrimps were fantastic, the butter wine sauce was rich and deep in flavor, and the linguine was fresh pasta, which made very happy!!! Great dish. We skipped dessert and ended the meal with some mint tea. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem!

Delicious food. Unfortunately, service was poor. Waited 20-min for a waiter to take our order, and 40-min until our appetizer was served. Owner wasn't present.

Everything about this restaurant is wonderful and makes for a truly satisfying dining experience -- ambience, food, and service. All dishes are delicious, and staff go out of their way to accommodate allergy restrictions, diners' preferences, and even share plates for you. The owner, Vincenzo, and server Jose are especially courteous, cooperative, and considerate of diners' wishes. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant was quiet and food very good Brussel sprouts and grilled artichokes were delicious. Cesar Salad was very good And enough for two people. The eggplant balls were good and enough for an entree The service was very good and attentive Haven't been in awhile But will be back

We thought the food was very mediocre and are going to cancel our next reservation that we had made.

My favorite neighborhood Italian restsurant. Every dish is excellent. Not much more expensive than a coffee shop on Madison Ave.

Celebrated wife's birthday, food and service were impeccable. Higher recommend this neighborhood gem.
The service at the end of our meal was brusque and impatient. The captain saw I was bending to get my coat and bag to leave and impatiently tried to get by my in the narrow space. Instead of stepping aside and letting me have right of way as a guest, he persisted in trying to push past me as I struggled. The food was mediocre for the price. Don't recommend .

Great neighborhood restaurant. Food is great, reasonably priced and the staff is attentive but doesn't rush you. My wife and I go there frequently

Great food. Lots of variety. The menu is large, but they also have off menu specials like chicken parm, fettuccine primavera, etc. I had the osso buco tonight and it was delicious and a large portion. Wife had a wonderful pasta dish. Great wine selections and cocktails too. We're here almost every week. It's that good. Better than good. Great service too. Cozy little place. I especially like the soft music, Andrea Botcheli , in the background and the nice ambiance.

I booked a reservation on Open Table for 8pm. We arrived early at 7:45pm and checked in. The restaurant was packed and the gentleman told us it would be a few minutes and we offered to wait outside in the freezing cold not to block the doorway. While we were waiting outside people were streaming in and at 8pm I walked inside again and asked the host what was going on and why they never came to get us. He sort of ignored me and there was a lot of commotion but it was clear they had no table for us. They had seated people who arrived after us with no reservations and then tried to put us at a makeshift table in the open door - it's 25 degrees out - adding insult to injury they brought in freezing cold patio furniture that they took in from outdoors. When I asked if we could at least get regular chairs the host told the gentleman seated at the next table that I was mad that they were seated in our table - I was not mad at him at all and never said that - the host tried to start a fight between me and another patron. I asked to speak to the manager and was shuffled outside to the cold again. After 10 minutes waiting my date asked if we could please just go somewhere else because she was freezing. Shame on them.

It was our first visit and I was blown away by how good the food was. And service was friendly and professional. We ate outside so I don't know if I would like the interior space. First sure, I will find out. This may be my new fave!
