New York PRDecember 24, 2015You don't need to order several things per person. Pollo Arrosto, Penne Pesto and the Spaghetti Polpette were entree-sized servings.
CBS New YorkJune 12, 2015They're serving a special Limoncello Popsicle along with truffle mac & cheese for NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more
diane jungDecember 22, 2015Basically everything is good. Get the grilled octopus salad if they have it as a special 🐙
your entertainment guidesMarch 16, 2011a small and cozy spot, perfect for vintage drinks and some appetizers. don't leave without having a salty dog and the bacon wrapped dates are to die for
Allison HeimMarch 15, 2012Cute place with great Italian food. Cocktails too! Bustling and candle lit, grab a spot at the bar or a stool in the window.
Jeff SolomonOctober 1, 2017Ambiance is quite nice in this small wine bar. Wines by the glass could be improved and it would be better if they served in real wine glasses instead of water glasses
NicoleJanuary 7, 2015People aren't messing around about the burrata. Order it. Everything is amazing, however. And great prices.
Liang ShiJuly 13, 2013The lamb. So good. So juicy. So tender. Put down your knife and bite if off the bone.
AlexSeptember 2, 2013Delicious! Definitely not a place if you're in a hurry but food, drinks and dessert were awesome. Great ambiance
Kiki MoreoJune 3, 2012Perfect place for a big group. Plan on sharing a bunch of dishes. Family style is the way to go.
Hien LyMarch 31, 2017They rushed our party of 10 through our meal and dropped the check before we had dessert. We asked for coffee and they started taking our water glasses away. Unbelievable.
Nyree BApril 19, 2015I liked the food. Pretty crowded and hectic atmosphere. The seating is a little too tight for my taste. Sitting at the bar was a better option for me than the tables.
Paul KardousJuly 26, 2014Meatballs are good, but much of the food is heated in a microwave. The by the glass list gives you no information on the wine at all. Much better wine bars in the neighborhood.
Karina ValdovinosMay 14, 2014A neighborhood jewel!!! The eggplant with goat cheese is the best dish in the menu
Corey ManiconeJuly 25, 2014Great spot for a date. Somehow the Russian house music goes with the ambiance. I dig it.- New York PRNovember 19, 2014Everything was delicious except the Brussels sprouts were much too sweet and the white asparagus was too soft
A neighborhood favorite. No fuss, chill and delicious. The meatballs & eggplant are a must.
Floriane ColliouDecember 11, 2013The burata and prosciutto were delicious! Great place, not too expensive.
Great Burrata & other small plates to share, always packed but worth a wait
Rocio TorreMay 12, 2013Amazing! With a party of 6+ you can have an all you can eat/all you can drink plan!
Justin VinluanSeptember 29, 2014The best marinara sauce! Make sure to ask for extra bread for dipping.
Eddie FitzgibbonMay 7, 2016It's good. Not great - but good. Cichetti has a great range. Needs a better range of flavor. Phat beats not ideal.
Carla AAugust 11, 2012Cute place with friendly staff. Try the mac n' cheese with truffle oil. Amazing!
Fantastic find! Vintage cocktails. Wines by woman winemakers and amazing Venetian small plates called cicchetti! Great addition to the hood.
emily chenAugust 31, 2016hostesses are challenging here... and service is weird. good value for food once you get past that though!
Sarah RosenzweigJuly 14, 2013The stuffed dates were overwhelmed by the Gorgonzola sauce. Still highly recommend Aria.
BiancaJune 9, 2019The food and wine selection are ok, but nothing spectacular. I liked the ambient the most.
Danika LandersSeptember 16, 2012Nice place for a bite and a bottle of vino! Great ambiance and decent service.
