Friendly service with delicious food. Charm of restaurant was extremely welcoming and very pleasant. Only flaw...due to small size, noise level can be a bit loud. Highly recommend if you are on the upper east side!

My husband and I invited friends who were visiting from Sri Lanka for a late lunch last Friday. From the time we arrived at the restaurant to the cappuccinos we ordered to complete the lunch, it was a delectable experience. The fresh ingredients, unique preparation, and authentic flavors made for such a palatable experience.

We recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys a delicious Italian food dining experience. We plan on visiting this place in the future...

This is a tiny place so make sure you have a reservation. Also make sure to arrive on or before 9 pm because the kitchen closes early. Nice atmosphere/decor. The service is fast and our server was super nice and attentive. The food was good in general but the portions on the smaller side. We will come back to try other dishes.
