We had the octopus and the homemade tortolleni, which were both excellent. Rare to find good octopus: tender and delicious. Tortelloni was out of this world with smoked scarmoza - 1000% work getting. Pannacotta either cooked wine was slightly on the sweeter side and would have liked the cooked wine to have more of a presence to balance out the pannacotta. The waiter was so friendly and treated us great all night. Drink was overpriced and gave me tummy ache (personal probz).

This place is pretty ok. I’ve there twice. The service is good. But the food isn’t good. Pretty ok. Nothing special. The sitting in the front is high table, not comfortable. There is better Italians restaurants in the city.

They should have the NYC department of health visit here, I’m sure the back room here would be illegal! The back room is makeshift, not insulated and our whole table was rained on throughout the dinner. Our table was soaked, our drinks and entrees had water from the ceiling in it. They also only have one bathroom for the whole restaurant. Terrible experience, especially for a place where you’re paying close to $90 a head for food and drinks.

Loved the ambience of the restaurant, went for brunch and there were good options on the menu. Definitely on the pricy side but great food and service.

Great vibe and food. Got the Amatriciana dish but with bucatini and it was the best I’ve had outside of Rome. I will definitely be back.

Everything was great, but particularly loved the rosemary Old Fashioned and tiramisu!
Small and intimate place to have a delicious dinner and tasty wine. Beef carpaccio is excellent

Our first trip to New York and I am glad this was the first place we ate at. From spectacular service to quality food - we were really impressed! We will be back next time we come to New York.
Highly, highly recommend the: Polipo e Patate & Involtini di Melanzana

Who eats at the same restaurant in NYC two nights in a row? We do! Omg, had such an amazing meal on Friday night, ( was sad that my daughter’s flight was delayed and she missed dinner) we decided to go back the next night once she made it here in hopes it was as wonderful the night before! I mean the food was amazing ,atmosphere was relaxing, the staff pampered us - So why not give it another go? The oysters Rockefeller was sooo good we ordered two, the Caesar salad is made table side, husband’s sword fish was over the top ( and we live on the coast of SC so we know seafood) I had the veal ravioli - soooooo delish! This will be our go too from now on every time we visit NYC ( our son lives here in NYC.) Thank you for making us feel so special….what a great NY experience! Please go….you won’t regret - they made these southern country bunkins feel like they were part of a legit Italian family! 5 stars!

Very enjoyable. Great location. Had the eggplant appetizer and the burrata. Both delicious. Had the seafood over fettuccine special. Amazing. Cappuccino was hot and creamy. Pannecotte the perfect ending. Will visit again
Our first time here after recently moving into the neighborhood. It has a nice neighborhood vibe. Very friendly, excellent service, and we found the menu items a touch more crerative trhsn the average local Italian. We had the spaghettini in a tomato/mushroom sauce with speck on top that was deliciously different and not too creamy. The seared sushi-grade tuna on a bed of asparagus with a touch garlic/olive oil on the plate. Very tasty!
This has become our go to neighborhood spot. We have been here 5 or 6 times in the past two months. The food is consistently good, and their desserts are unmatched. I think about their tiramisu more often than I would like to admit. The atmosphere and service are great also.

Quaint little place found browsing Opentable. Wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle tourist places (even though I was visiting for business). The food was good, tables are certainly small and not made to entertain business conversations. One slight issue, accidentally spilled my glass of water. Assumed the staff would see the accident and come to assist with towels or something. They just ignored it, or didn't see it. Luckily it was hot and humid, so the pants and shirt dried out quickly.
