Food is overpriced for super simple stuff. For 4 people it was over $500. Service is horrible, watched waiters and manager openly talk about people eating. Not safe for gluten free people.

This place was delicious! I recommend the carbonara without the onions with extra Parmesan, the Caesar salad and mozzarella tomato for an appetizer, and the tiramisu for desert! The staff is welcoming and very nice, the food is very high quality and delicious, and it’s perfect for an arty of one, two, three, four, and even more! The carbonara was to die for, and I regret not coming here earlier! You get free finger cookies for desert, and the tiramisu is so fluffy and soft, it’s incredible. The Caesar is a million flavors at once, I really recommend this place!!

Waiters were rude. We paid over $45 for bottled water! We ordered an arugula salad with grilled chicken that came out as a giant overcooked piece of chicken breast on top of a little arugula with no dressing. The hash browns were a bunch of overcooked, dry chopped up little pieces of potato bits. Waiters did not properly explain what dishes were. Then when we complained that was not as the dishes were described, they were rude and didn't offer to replace the dish.

The most delicious authentic italian food. All of the staff is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel so special. Incredibly nice place to go for an italian meal on the UES. Probably the best veal parmesan I’ve ever had and the tiramisu is just phenomenal.

Tonight everything we ordered was utterly tasteless...the soup, the salad, the pasta. Couldn't even eat more than a few bites. At a previous visit in November, some of the same dishes were good. Tonight, it was as if they pulled a homeless chef in off the street and make him cook without the right ingredients. A lot of money to waste on inedible food. Won't be back.

This place used to be wonderful! The food has gotten stingy and the prices are higher. They served me a cold Dover sole the size of a Sunny for $65. They have also become empty of late. Sad!

Highly disappointed in this restaurant. Save your money (its way over priced) and spend it somewhere more welcoming and flavorful. We planned on having dinner across the street but it was closed for a private event, this restaurant looked like a promising staple in the neighborhood. We were a party of 8. From the moment we walked in, nothing but glaring looks and one waiter asking why so many people. After being sat and waiting a few minutes for the waiter, we asked him from menus and he rudely said we'd get menus after we order drinks. It seemed out of sorts but we were going w the flow as visitors. After getting drinks and menus we asked to.place an order for appetizers, nope...we couldn't order those until we were ready to order all our dinner entrees. The food was bland, warm - not hot, freshly made, and we didn't get any drink refills. The atmosphere was dark and moody for great conversation but the food and service was awful. This was our lowest restaurant experience in NYC. I'm so glad we didnt let this hinder our visit as we had a much better experience with warm hospitality and authentic food in Little Italy and at Mezzaluna.

Great, old school Italian place in the heart of the UES. Good menu with lots of specials. Professional service with charming (if a little older) atmosphere. Lovely experience with nice preparation (could use a bump up of flavor level).

Great little restaurant. Stumble onto it by accident. The food and service were both impeccable. It has a real old school vibe to it. Really enjoyed!
