AmateurConciergeDecember 9, 2018Cute, quaint, homely vibes. Homely cooking to match. Pasta was good but the love feels a little overhyped.
Nicole FranzenJanuary 11, 2014Pasta was so good. Best sauce I've had in a long time. Warm bread and butter. Kind service. I'm a fan.
The cocktails are incredible-the Austin is the perfect summer cocktail: titos vodka, st. Germaine, proseco, and pomegranate with a twist of orange
SaraAugust 29, 2015The best Italian food I've had in NY. Get the black pasta with octopus. You won't regret it
NickleshAugust 29, 2014Ate chittara carbonara (made vegetarian) and a very nice house red for lunch. Extra points for warm bread.
Casunziei. Fat half-moons filled with roasted beets and ricotta, sautéed in brown butter and sprinkled with pastry seeds
Helen LewisMarch 27, 20157.5/10. Brunch menu was so interesting and had items I had never seen on other brunch menus. Child friendly but can get quite crowded.
michael nerenburgJuly 15, 2013No wait, food was quick. Sunday night. Food was good. Fairly inexpensive. Better than that stupid eataly place in the city everyone has an orgasm over.
JetzNYDecember 23, 2015Tortelli Di ZuccaHomemade ravioli filled with roasted squash and mascarpone, parmigiano is a Must!!!
Alice EunjinApril 28, 2015"Strap in for hits like the braised rabbit with creamy polenta and black olives, saltimbocca alla Romana, or tagliatelle al ragu."
Meg LewisApril 21, 2013The best pasta dishes I've ever had. A ton of vegetarian options. Reasonably priced for the outstanding quality!
Alex HunterJanuary 18, 2022Intimate and old school spot. The malfatti were simple yet heavenly cloud balls - yum.
Anna SlobodskyaMarch 14, 2011Try the seppia and oxtail ragu with polenta, Swiss chard and ricotta malfatti -but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, amazing restaurant
Holly MooreApril 23, 2017The specials are extensive and extraordinary. Worth having dinner at 5:30pm!
Adam BardOctober 15, 2015At the table next to me two Japanese ladies stop the waiter. "You know, this is the best pasta, ever," one says, "No, really," says the other. I think they might be right.
Claire J SongSeptember 30, 2015braised rabbit with black olives on steaming polenta; homemade tagliatelle al ragù
Andrea BarrezuetaOctober 2, 2014By far the best veal saltimbocca a la Romana I've had outside of Italy.
Henry HayesAugust 11, 2014Great pasta plates and just the right size. Didn't even have to wait for a table.
The scones are so smooth and buttery, you'll be ruined for the usual kind.
- Jill HoffmanApril 9, 2011One of the best brunches I've had in BK. Try the white salad to start and then get the polenta with mushrooms... Amazing!
Varun ShettyJanuary 25, 2013The food here is delicious, but the bathroom? The bathroom is the nicest and most quaint restaurant bathroom in New York.
Erica W.November 13, 2012They serve the full menu at the wine bar, so try getting a table there if you can't get into the main dining room.
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010If the wait's long, put your name on the list and hit its sister wine bar. Once the food arrives, though, nothing else will matter. Guard your plate - spaghetti with clams is irresistably delicious!
Don’t sit at the bar. The stools are cheap and uncomfortable. However, do order the heirloom tomatoes. Simple and delicious.
Mario BataliFebruary 18, 2011chef anna klinger cooks true italian and often venetian fare in the sweet little slice of perfection, the casunzei define fresh pasta
Simply put, one of the best Italian restaurants in the city.
FunesAugust 16, 2015A bit overrated imo. The risotto was mediocre and the wifey's ravioli was fair at best. Good wine selection and full bar. But for a fantastic meal you can do better elsewhere in the slope.
CompassMay 20, 2014Northern Italian comfort fare is the focus at this cozy, eclectically decorated trattoria.
Allison YuNovember 1, 2012Polenta appetizer with oxtail and cuttlefish: probably the best appetizer I've ever had
Try tagliatelle al ragú or lamb chops. Everything is amazing here.
