Great basic Italian. Fried zucchini served with marinara sauce was very good. The Porcini Mushroom Ravioli was delicious. Great service. Good wines. Reasonable prices. Nice outdoor dining.

After a long, wet day of walking in NYC I really wanted to enjoy this restaurant. Unfortunately it was disappointing. The dining room and restrooms were clean and much appreciated.Unfortunately the food was not so good. The water and bread were replenishing. They brought a house salad for the table which wasn't very tasty. We had a party of 6, 2 adults and 4 children. They do not offer kid meals so we ordered 4 meals and shared. They were kind enough to bring 4 meals for the table and provide plates for everyone. The gnocchi was mediocre at best, the Alfredo was not good, I couldn't even eat it and I've never had bad Alfredo. The ravioli was ok. The spaghetti and meatballs only consisted of one meatball and was not tasty. Very unfortunate especially for the price. Lunchtime special of $20 per meal with a 20% gratuity included. The service was excellent and I feel they tried, but I would not recommend this restaurant.

We invited our out-of-town guests and ordered the Cinque Corsi for 9 people. Food was plentiful and delicious. Family style platters offered lots of options, even for our pickiest eaters! Service was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive and engaging without being intrusive. He timed the courses perfectly, a comfortable pace where we didn't feel rushed through the meal. A very fun evening for all of us.

Always has been, always will be, the best place in the hood. Amazingly reasonable price, especially in today's jacked up pricing.Highly recommended, don't miss the chance for a little Italian in little Italy.

Met up with family for a day in the city & a nice meal. Food was very good, service was EXCELLENT! My only disappointment was where we were seated. 2 large parties, each w/around 20 people were in the room. Both were roasting people, cheering & giving out awards. The volume was such that we struggled to have a conversation within our group. I'm all for big bashes, drinking & fun but there should be a private room for groups of that size so they can go big without infringing on other peoples experience.

Very good service, tasty Italian wine. I recommend the food too. Waiters attend very politely and as much as I don't speak English, they spoke Portuguese with me. I'll be back in

Went here for a Friday night dinner with friends. The friendliest staff greeted me and continued the amazing service throughout the dinner. Be sure to order the chicken parm and linguine with clams. Good wine selection as well!
