Had the Rucola, Tagliatelle and Torta Di Ricotta. Everything was delicious! Best pasta I've ever had. The staff was great, had a great experience.

Fantastic meal. We each got the tasting menu (1 veg, 1 regular) and it was a great way to try many of the pastas handmade by Nonna Dora. It was a lot of food, but not crazy. Do it! The owner and all the staff there are extremely friendly.

My husband & I went for dinner as valentines day. The service was horrible that we could even imagined. My glass which was provided for water was leaking to start with & we both cleaned up the table. Our clothes were wet & none even cared to apologize. We notified the waiter right away & he didn't he even care to provide me a new glass after taking the leaked one. Our both towels were wet after cleaning up the table & they didn't even care to give a new pair of towels that we had to keep on asking for it. I chosed this restaurant because of reading their history of it & everything. It was an absolute disappointment for choosing them . None even cared to apologize about anything rather we we both kept on asking for new supplies. We both never experienced something like this anywhere. This is the worst experience we've ever experienced in a restaurant.

We went hoping for a nice romantic dinner but instead were distracted by the consistently bad service. Whenever something went wrong or they made a mistake, they would never apologize and there was a coldness to the service overall. The pasta is the only reason we had a decent time- it was very delicious. The rest of the food and drinks are mediocre at best.

Went on Thursday night with my cousin during our visit to NY. From the moment we walked in, the attention and treatment were stellar. Sat at special table (Nicola's table) and loved it! Asked for recommendations and popular dishes, although truly everything on the menu sounds (and surely IS) scrumptious.
Very fresh and delicious pasta paured with a fantastic wine list and cocktails.
To start our prefixe we went with: burrata, panzerotti, and meatballs.
All fresh and light. Incredible flavors for our begining.
Main courses were : the gnocchi (pillowy, fluffy, tender, creamy, evenly coated in pesto) and pappardelle with wild boar ragu (rich beautifully cocked, tender meat, seasoned to perfection and the pasta eas beautifully aldente)
A classic tiramisu and afogato were our endulgence to the sweet tooth but couldnt help trying the panzerotti dolci (filled with nutella)
Finished our meal and night with espressos and limoncello as well as the promise to come back earlier next time to spend some time with Nona. Loved our time there and had fantastic conversation and laughs with Nicola all through our meal.

I was so excited about this restaurant after reading the story and being a lover of Italian food. Sadly, despite the staff being great, the food was really average. It all seemed like it pre-prepared and heated up for service. While, I was eating, I found myself thinking about all the other places I've had better meals at and wished I had gone there instead.

Choose a night, make a reservation, find your way over to Kips Bay, order anything from the menu and then you will understand what the fuss is all about. Thank you Nonna! 🙌🙌🙌

It was ok. But I had high expectations and I was a bit disappointed. The homemade amaro was pretty bad. The food/pasta was ok, so the vibe. We share multiple dishes. None was bad but none was spectacular. I was a bit disappointed by the boar ragù, as I know how good it could be in Italy. I am not sure if I would go back, especially for the price
My boyfriend and I love it here for date nights. We skip the apps and split a bunch of pastas instead. The service is fantastic. Will definitely be back!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Special occasion in New York City and found it through the reviews of local New Yorkers and never looked back! The pasta is heavenly and all the dining staff were so nice and accommodating. Also great vegetarian options.
Highly recommended 10/10.

Don’t eat here! Possibly the worst ‘spicy vodka pasta’ I’ve ever had. Not only was it not spicy but flavorless altogether with so called meat unrecognizable as chicken or anything else. Only ate a few forkfuls before feeling nauseous.
