What a great gem of a restaurant. Tremendous food, from appetizers to warm bread with pesto, to delicious main courses and desserts. Our waiter, Remey, was friendly and attentive, and the owner, Antonio is there to provide a great dining experience. Highly recommend.

This is a great little restaurant if you're in the Times Square or theatre district. Being up on 11th Avenue, it's away from the craziness but still close enough to be convenient. The menue is slightly limited if you don't want pizza or pasta, but there is something for everyone. The fried calamari was excellent. The prices were reasonable and ambience was very soothing. I would definitely go again after a show.

[Rounded up from 3.5] a friend and I decided to stop by, as we have passed by a few times. We got the Capricciosa Pizza and Fettuccine Bolognese to share. The pizza was just ok, but the pasta was delicious. The pasta was cooked to my preference (nicely al dente), and the sauce was good. We also got some cocktails. I was a bit taken aback by the Espresso Martini, but I think that's on me for not catching that the cocktail includes Bailey's. It was empty when we arrived, but service was attentive and we got our food fairly quickly. All in all, not a bad spot to get some decent Italian food.

Came here before a show nearby to grab dinner. My friend and I walked in for dinner around 5:45 and it wasn't busy so we were able to grab a table. The space had about 10 tables with a long bar. We ordered the fettuccine bolognese and the Capricciosa Pizza. The portion size of the pasta is on the small side and the pizza is medium size. Overall the meal left us full so it was just a good amount. The pizza could have used a bit more seasoning but overall the food was good . The wait staff was nice as well. A good option if you're in the area but a bit on the pricey side.

I’ve ordered takeout before. I’ve tried pizza, penne, stromboli. The food was good.HOWEVER, I hope they will read this and consider using eco friendly takeout containers. Please? Partnering with deliver zero could be an option.

Bread and dip was great, caprese salad was great, spaghetti was good, meatballs were dry and difficult to chew. Seemed old/reheated. My partner thought the same of the lasagna. Dessert was really good. Overall a decent experience, but definitely need fresh, tender meatballs for 5 stars.

Absolutely delicious food, pizza was fresh out of the wood-burning oven, the pastas were handmade you could tell, and everything was beautifully presented. Great service and accommodating for our large group. Loved it!

Great food, we were positively surprised because the place was empty. Pizza bread taster was life saving :)
They had accepted a children's birthday party in half the restaurant. Not a warm an intimate dinner that we were hoping for. Children screaming and running around. Food was good but didn't make up for it. They also did check or realize we had a reservation, then sat two of us at a four top. They need a better manager.

Server was very nice gentleman, maybe missing some proper protocols and made the mistake of asking how long we will be there to sit us, but I guess I understand you want to know if you are next to a theater you dont want to feel rush as soon as you walk in. He made up quickly by explaining there was a large party reservation for the area we chose to sit but our reservation was for that quiet area! the Bread was good just not hot nor warm. Pizza was delicious, more on the salty side which I loved, prosciutto and arugula and we ordered a special plain pizza with ham for our 3 yr old. Caesar salad and coffee over tiramisu. Tiramisu: the reviews for the tiramisu were so off, nothing special there. Milk options: surprisingly for a restaurant in the city, there are no soy, oat or almond options for your coffee so I had it black; it was good. Very convenient location, I wish I would have tried more options like their pastas or meats, so far I can only speak for a great pizza place for a quick grab before you continue to explore the city

Food was decent. Chicken parm and penne vodka were liked my the kids. Martini Rossi chicken was good but should have a vegetable on the side as well (it was just chicken and mashed potatoes). My cavateli with sausage and broccoli rabe was ok. Someone in my party really liked the squid ink linguine with seafood. Service was okay. Nice place.

I live nearby and stop in sometimes, and the food always impresses. You can tell they're using fresh ingredients and making the food with care. The ambience is great as well.
