Pre fixe was great! Everyone was satisfied with their food. Tight cutoff at the 90 min mark

Wonderful dining experience with our daughter and her friends, food was outstanding, as was the service as well. Exceptional value as we all took home extras. Absoluey will be returning! 10 out of 10!

Terrible experience. Went for a birthday dinner and had a reservation for the Prix fix menu. The table is not ready when we arrive on time, then they say there is a mix up and they did not properly reserve a table. It takes them 30 minutes to put together a single top table for three people. At this point we are seating 30 minutes late for the reservation which is meant to be 90 minutes unlimited drinks with a choice of entree/appetizers. The waitress is nice but after 55 minutes she brings us the check, and we ask for another round of drinks since it's $55 each for 90 minutes of unlimited drinks. We are told there's another table coming, and we have to leave. At this point I ask for a discount and they go back and approve 10% off. We pay the check and then one member of our party goes to the bathroom which takes 10 minutes because there is a line. The waitress came and asked us to leave the table again during the 10 minutes to seat the next party. Then even though they had the 10% discount (and it said so on the receipt) the restaurant charged my card full price. I would not recommend ever going here.

The pre-fixe menu with bottomless drinks is an easy dinner party set up. The food is good, not great, and the restaurant itself is cute. We made a reservation a few weeks in advance for a birthday dinner with 10 people and confirmed multiple times. We ended up waiting over 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated which was annoying, but they did give us a round of drinks while we waited outside. Considering the time limits they set, it's not clear to me why they couldn't plan to have the table ready at the reservation time. Server was very nice and made sure we were taken care of once we sat.

I had an allergy attack after specifically informing my waitress about my allergies and having her put in all caps the message to the kitchen. Ambulance came to pick me up (ruined the atmosphere).
But seriously, don’t come here with food allergies. Food was good though.

The food and service were very good. The confusing part to me was the "mandatory" price fixe menu. I booked the reservation through OpenTable which required me to book it as price fixe only and my credit card was charged in advance for this. When we arrived at the restaurant, the menu appeared 100% alla carte and there was no mention of price fixe at all. I asked the waiter who told me it is only price fixe - more confusion. But when you add the cost of an appetizer + main course it did not equal cost of price fixe. We pointed this out to our waiter who ended up comping us on dessert and coffee. I liked the restaurant, but they need to straighten this pricing out and make it clear!

Wandered in for a drink before a show, found it surprisingly adorable for as upscale as it felt. Came back after the show for appetizers, which were delicious (meatballs and garlic bread). Enjoyed our time and would gladly return.

Everything was great except Pear & Gorgonzola Ravioli didn't have much of a pear taste.

Best food and service i had in all of New York. Absolute goat of a server Lucy held it down all night for us. Any moment we thought we needed her she just appeared and was ready at all times even though it was mad busy.
The pasta was fantastic and a pretty good price in the city! Perfect al dente! Sat outside which was nice and the service was decent but not great. Got the feeling our waiter was watching too many tables and we ended up waiting forever for dessert and check. But the food was great!

On my last trip to New York to visit friends, we were really worried we wouldn’t be able to get a table and it was one of those nights where everywhere felt packed. But thankfully, we were lucky enough to be taken care of by an absolutely amazing server named Lucy. Despite how busy it was, she somehow managed to get us in. It felt like she anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask—whether it was drink refills, extra napkins, or helping us navigate the menu. Can’t recommend her enough—if you get the chance to be seated in her section, consider yourself lucky!

Scrumptious ragu, lovely atmosphere, greeted with a smile and waited on by the lovely Emma. Great little affordable Italian find in East Village.
