2 out of 3 of our dinners were great. One shrimp and one clam dish. The mushroom pappardella was a little tart/sour and goopy. Outdoor seating was enjoyable. Service (woman owner?) was rushed and business-y rather than warm and inviting.

Excellent neighborhood spot for well done italian classics. Prices skew high, but the service and atmosphere are top notch. Love the back patio!

This upper west side Italian restaurant is a real gem. It has friendly owners that are more than willing to guide you through their menu. They restaurant is known for their meatballs but it has so much more to offer. I did start with meatballs with marinara sauce. I was really impressed with the meatballs and the accompanying marinara sauce. It was so flavorful, a great start to the meal. I next had the rigatoni alla vodka which really surprised me. The vodka sauce was as good a sauce as I've ever had. No meal with me is complete without dessert which was a home run. The homemade tiramisu was a smooth and creamy delicious experience. Please make sure to try the focaccia bread and a glass of the chianti. The restaurant does have outdoor seating.

My favorite dishes were the squid ink linguini with calamari, and the tiramisu. That homemade pasta has phenomenal texture!!! And the arrabbiata sauce was perfect. We came at 5:00 pm on a Saturday. Excellent service. The meatballs were good.

We had a fabulous dinner there a couple of nights ago. We were a group of 4 Enjoyed the fried zucchini as an appetizer. Excellent and plenty to share. The martini was a generous pour and good. The black linguine with seafood was perhaps the best seafood pasta i have eaten. Overall an excellent choice. I recommend they carry decaf coffee for us older diners and some port with which to accompany it

It could easily be true that the meatballs are the best in the city. I had chocolate mousse for desert and it was great too. Very nice service and very nice West side vibe and I'll be back
We were big fans of this restaurant, and would still highly recommend if you get the pastas. However, we ordered chicken as an additional on the pasta, and it was $10 for a cutlet smaller than the palm of your hand!

Had a great late lunch after visiting the natural history museum. We had been looking for somewhere that did great meatballs and we weren't disappointed. 2 adults and kids very happy with food, the lady owner who served us was lovely and recommended what to get and even divided food up so we could try spaghetti and sandwiches. Would definitely recommend to get away from touristy spots, one of our food highlights of the trip

Good food and respectable serving size. Arancini at 3 balls for 18 dollars was unacceptable, was hoping for at least 4. spaghetti and meatballs were good

Best meatballs of my life. Great service.

Food was absolutely delicious. Got the Pasta Nonna which was pasta with vodka said and chicken and sundried tomatoes. So good!! Even the starter bread was to die for. Service was great and the only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the dim lights, but that’s just a preference!! So so good and absolutely recommend!
