Now my favorite Italian restaurant in nyc
A restaurant hasn't impressed me in a very long time. That changed when I came and dined here. I saw this beautiful restaurant so many times while I was driving around and I'm so happy my partner and I decided to stop here because the food and the service was exceptional. 
First time diners and will
Definitely come back! The atmosphere was so charming and great place for date night out. The staff were all amazingly kind. The food was presented beautifully, fun seeing the pasta and fish prepared in the dining room.
