Visiting NYC. This place has GREAT food! I had the gnocchi and pana cotta for desert and they were both delicious. We were able to get reservations for 9 of us about a week in advance. We were able to move our reservation from 5:00 to 4:30 pm at short notice because we were all starving. Great prompt service ! Everyone with me loved their meals.
Pizza Crawl 2024 Stop #13For our 10-year anniversary we are stopping in Chicago, Detroit, NYC, and New Haven, CTThis was by far the thinnest crust pizza we had on this whole trip, but it didn’t taste like a cracker. The sauce was really good! We had the cheese pizza. Because it is so light, you could eat a ton. That being said, it wasn’t very filling, and it’s expensive, so we didn’t order appetizers.All in all, great pizza and great service. We sat at the bar as there were no tables available.

Food was decent. The vodka pie was good (sauce has good flavor, crust was thin and crispy and yet also chewable), as was the truffle gnocchi. The tiramisu was a very good dessert, but the panna cotta had a bit too much of a gelatin/jello texture.Ambience is lively and loud.

We went here on a Monday because we were told they have an awesome discount for industry workers! It used to be 50%, but it is now 35% off the check which is still amazing. We got the calamari, Caesar salad, a side of green beans, the Cacio Pepe, Passata pomodoro e Basilica and the grass-fed beef bolognese and MAN!!! Everything was so good, I had zero complaints. We accompanied our meals with 3 Aperol Spritz and were so content with our visit. Shoutout to the bartender, Allegra! You’re amazing, thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality!! Side note, for a Monday, the place was lively and had a quaint yet jumpin’ energy! They were playing hip-hop and R&B and the interior was so cool, it was homey yet stylish, and I loved the way the bar was set up! Cheers, highly recommend this place!! ?
Sauce was unbelievably loud. Our party was barely able to hold a conversation. We asked twice for the music to be turned down a bit, but I guess the manager didn't care. The food was quite good and we enjoyed ourselves, but it was ridiculous to have to scream at each other over thumping bass and it was relief to leave. Sorry to say, we won't return.
Definitely try their menu specials! Spinach gnocci was to die for! Everything from the drinks to the food and even the music was fantastic. So glad I found this place, will definitely be coming back.

We stumbled into this place looking for pasta and this place looked cute. There was no wait on a tuesday evening. And then, we walked in they were blasting hip hop - which was a fun surprise because it kind of has the interior decor of a old bnb. And then, our meals were so delicious and our portions were huge - the pan seared salmon was probably one of the best I've had!

The food was good, but I feel like there are much better Italian spots in Little Italy. The m restaurant played music that was way too loud, so hard to enjoy the company you're with when you have to yell across the table. Thought it would be a nice sit-down place for the prices, but it was not.

I’m Old School: I don’t like rap music blasting while I’m trying to eat dinner and partake in conversation on a Wednesday night. Kale Caesar Salad was delicious. Lasagna was pretty good.
Save your money! Me and my friend had a reservation, they sat us, and as we finished our meals and drinks and were looking at dessert, the host told us he needed our table in eight minutes and we could hang out at the table next to us for a bit, but he would need that one too eventually. They will rush you if they feel you don’t order enough drinks and definitely kick you out when you reject getting another cocktail. He asked if we wanted another cocktail and when we said no we want to look at dessert, straight after, that’s when the host said we have to go. We were only there for an hour at this point and decided let’s just leave. Why would we stay eight minutes longer just to be rushed out?

The food was very small portions and expensive for how much you get. This isn't a true italian cuisine, the vodka sauce was all tomato little vodka sauce. for the price and quality of the food it is not worth it. Service was good, workers were nice

Very disappointed with the treatment my friend & I received. I’m a frequent customer so I was a little shocked with the way they treated us for starters the service was rushed mind you there wasn’t many people at the restaurant. The food was ok for the price!The host he was the guy with piercings and baggy pants from the beginning just cold and not welcoming at all. The servers were all standing facing the direction of the table I was sitting with my friend it was so awkward cause there just there staring & they came to take our plates I wasn’t done yet still had some pasta. The guy asked if I was done & I said yes cause honestly I was annoyed. I hate when they do that like obviously there’s still food in our plates we’re not done that’s such a rude thing to do.The server ask if we were getting another drink or dessert I said dessert so my friend & I our lookin at the menu. 1 minut after here comes the host & tells us we have 8 minutes at the table we we’re sitting then he has to move us to the next table but we had a short time as well in the other table so he was basically kicking us out. This is the first time I ever experienced something like this, and I’m just annoyed, disappointed, and a bit sad because I’ve spent so much money at this restaurant before and I just regret spending my money here. So, if you don’t want to be rushed out and get that sort of treatment, I would recommend you not to come here.

Very torn, because on one hand, the staff was incredibly nice and did not charge me for the entree I didn't eat, but on the other, it was so overwhelmingly loud and crowded, and the food was overpriced for what it was.
