We found this beautiful restaurant on our visit to Central Park! I searched for restaurants near us and this is one that came up. It was only 1/4 mile away. When we walked in, the atmosphere was great. It wasn’t rushed, but very comfortable. I ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese, and my wife ordered the Lasagna. We agreed that it was some of, if not the best Italian food we’ve ever had. 5 Stars!

Above average local Italian restaurant. I’ve been here several times at different times of year and always had a good experience. The roast vegetable Napoleon is a good veggie friendly choice. They are able to swap sauces on the pastas in order to accommodate allergies (for example their pesto contains walnuts). The service is consistently friendly and prompt.
