From the moment we stepped down into the space, we knew we were in for a great experience. The main dining room was filling up, and the buzz felt like classic NYC.
Service was warm and immediate…water arrived right away, along with a generous bread basket featuring the best toast sticks (honestly worth mentioning on their own).
We started with the eggplant appetizer, which was spot-on: the right balance of tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, and the perfect way to wake up the palate. The wild mushroom salad was equally delicious…earthy, satisfying, and beautifully composed.
For mains, we had the pappardelle with lamb ragù. The flavor and texture were excellent, though I was a little surprised to find the lamb was ground rather than shredded. The true standout, though, was the swordfish Milanese…perfectly crisp, not heavy, and made even better by the fresh tomato salad layered on top.
We paired it all with a lovely Italian red and finished with tiramisu. All in all, a fantastic evening…the perfect escape from the cold.

A beautiful Italian place. Invited some work friends out and we all loved it. Authentic Italian fare, great taste. Nice wine list and personalized service. Absolutely worth going. They deserve the Michelin listing,

The food was terrific. Everything we ordered was delicious. The service was great and they treated us like we were family. It was the first time there and we came with seven people. While the prices are not inexpensive, the quality of the food more than made up for it. Will definitely go back again.

Amazing 25th birthday celebration dinner made even more special by the staff!!! Can't say enough good things!!
A truly wonderful evening. The food was interesting, well-prepared and delicious. The service was gracious and attentive without being intrusive. The room is beautiful and cozy - but not too tightly packed. I'll definitely be back soon.

I visited with a large group of coworkers and everyone felt it was an incredible meal. Phenomenal spinach ravioli, loved the wines. Our server was friendly and hilarious. Can’t wait to come back!

The server spilled clams all over me and ruined my new coat. It was my first time wearing it. He said sorry. The olive oil and clam smell cannot be removed and the coat cannot be washed. Dry cleaners told me the olive oil cannot be removed. My daughter saw him drinking at the bar and he was bumping into tables and chairs. I used to wait tables, I understand accidents happen but it seems that he was drinking on the job and I saved a long time to buy this coat. I was very sad and disappointed. I've been dinning here for about 10 years and every time it's been amazing, this one was horrible and very costly. The coat is ruined.

Consistently high-quality food, well executed. We've been dining here for more than 8 years at this point and the quality has not changed or failed once - on food, service, or atmosphere. Nice wine list too!
