Best gnocchi ever, super light and pillowy. Our party also had prosciutto pinsa, chicken cotoletta, and seafood pasta - all excellent. Service was fantastic; water kept filled, plates cleared, etc. New favorite spot!

The pasta is done impeccably! I've had pasta at hundreds of places across big US cities and Italy. L'Anima does it special. The middles and the sauce and yummy nuts all hand together and are easy to eat.

Lovely experience; dined with my mom, wife, and one year old son. The server Julio was great! We sat on the patio, it was a perfect evening. Food was excellent, and they made our little son feel welcome too!

We've had two very good dinners here over the last few months. Food is well prepared with fresh ingredients/ pasta specials have been very very good both times. Last nights was a very tasty pasta with spicy sausage a little mushroom in a great but not super heavy white wine sauce. When my wife asked how prevalent mushrooms were, waiter understood she wasn't crazy about them and offered to substitute spinach for mushrooms/ both were great!!

The staff at L'anima are fantastic. They do a great job to make everyone feel welcome, they are very professional and attentive. The food is always great, and they offer daily specials. 10/10 experience.

My husband and I went here on a Sunday evening for a special occasion. The place was nearly empty and I can only imagine that was a matter of timing, because the whole experience was excellent. Our server, Zach, was attentive without being intrusive. He paced the courses perfectly. The food was delicious!! We were drawn by the menu that was available online, but they also had several specials - two of which we ordered. We would definitely return here!

Came here for a casual night out and it was delicious! The pasta is made in house and al dente. They had some really interesting specials including squid ink pasta with tuna and breadcrumbs. I loved the cacio e pepe. Will definitely be back!

L'Anima is a lovely neighborhood restaurant. Noise level was perfect as they did sound proofing on the ceiling. Food was good. Pasta for granddaughter she loved. Fried chicken dish was perfect for grandson. The fennel and cheese with prosciutto was delish. The black ink pasta was too tasty. You could not enjoy all the flavors because each flavor was bright. Could not taste the crab at all. Maybe in a lighter sauce would have been more to my liking. The service was wonderful and we enjoyed the evening.

If this were a midtown restaurant, it would be hard to reserve a table. The food is very good, the menu varied and the service is professional and attentive. It's a neighborhood place with that vibe. A go-to place and a pleasure to be there!

I thought the service and the ambience was great. I also thought the octopus was delicious.

L'Anima is consistently fantastic. The service is beyond par - providing support and suggestion for dietary preference (also great there are many vegetarian options here), staff are very kind and helpful. But the food is the best part. Great variety, fresh and delicious. You definitely do not want to skip dessert.
