Don’t go and try and sit at the bar. Bartender was one of the rudest humans I’ve ever encountered in my life. Hopes if he just doesn’t look at you that you won’t ask for something. It was honestly very weird.

Incredibly pretentious staff. The service was unorganized, and we had to place our orders over and over with different waiters.We had most of our entrees left over and asked to get it boxed and they threw them out. They waited until we paid the bill to tell us, and their remedy was a small slice of tiramisu. Additionally, they checked everyone’s coats upon arrival, however even after asking they did not take ours. When sitting down, the restaurant was so packed that staff would accidentally hit our heads with things they were carrying without apologizing. Average food, overpriced, horrible service, go literally anywhere else- not worth it. Dirty martini was good though.

If you’re willing to deal with hospitality that gives off “you’re lucky to be here” vibes, tables packed next to each other and virtually touching and very high prices to eat admittedly delicious Italian food, this place is for you.

I got food poisoning. Hair in my food.
I sat alone at the bar- as it was the only table available. Service was kind, but felt like every question I asked was an inconvience- even ordering.
The pasta was great. Zucchini fries tasted fishy. Hair in my bread baked into it.
Also $80 for a 1/2 order of pasta, zucchini fries and a single glass of wine is steep

This is a fantastic authentic Italian restaurant. The quality of the food is great, it is what you’d get at a high end restaurant in Italy. I recommend the chicken parm and you can’t go wrong with any of the pastas!

With one exception being the veal piccata, which was quite good, the other items were mediocre at best (brussels sprouts and mussels — both with bland dressing/sauce, and the chicken paillard was among the worst entrees I ever had — tasteless and looked like poached chicken — after three bites I mentioned to the waiter who essentially said “this is how we do it.” He eventually asked if I wanted to order something else though it was obvious that he didn’t want me to and unclear whether we would be charged for an additional order. Seems people only go for the buzzy atmosphere and hopes of seeing a celebrity. An unpleasant experience. Much better quality food at many other UES Italian spots.

Diner-level wine.. for 25$ a glass! Chicken dishes full of bones for $57! It's just a snotty rip-off. If you want quality try Bottega on 2nd and 70th or plenty of other restaurants a block away.

The food was good, but the place was extremely overcrowded, the waiter always bumped to our chairs, spilled the wine to the table and even to our cloths... We paid almost 3000$ for 9 persons, but when we left and asked for our coats they additionally charged us for 10$, which is just ridiculous to ask money for this at a restaurant.

My husband and I ate dinner here for the first time. It was incredible. Beautiful restaurant. Impeccable service. We will return.
