Very cute inside with an authentic Italian vibe. Get there right at 5 or the wait can be very long. We felt it was extremely over priced, even for New York. We shared the veal Parmesan which was amazing...a pasta dish and the meatball appetizer. We had a$140 bottle of wine which was one of the cheapest and our total was over $550.....blew our minds. Service was okay but hard to communicate so we ended up with a pasta dish we didn't want.
Shakir, our server, was one of the best in any restaurant services I've received in NYC. Hands down the reason I gave it a 5 star.

Other info:
1) no reservations, walk in only - prepare to wait in line for some time.
2) food is great, worth the prices? Probably not. Still a fantastic experience and more of a one-off kind of place
3) I enjoyed the small restaurant kind-of-feel but the tables can barely fit 2 plates and some bread....
Food was great. Service was good with no problems. It is a small and very popular place that doesn't take reservations in a major city. Don't kid yourself, prepare to wait for a table.
