Rozi LeviNovember 20, 2011Experience Europe style life at this intimate cafe with good music. Go in the morning for coffe and later at night for wine and food. Friendly staff!Upvoted Sep 14
DoubleDeuceDecember 18, 2018Standard NYC Italian restaurant but with the extra flair of a young family UWS crowd. Tasty foods and good brunch for a fair price.
Andrew COctober 4, 2017Crowded for a Tuesday night... but service was impeccable + food was hot, fresh, and delicious - especially the lasagna and artichokes (we ordered another side because they were spectacular)!!!!
Erica FinleyApril 27, 2014Pros: You can make a res, it's not crowded for Sunday brunch & the crab cake benedict was yummy! Con: Slow servers who have to be reminded of your requests.
Maria KolakowskaSeptember 6, 2014Spinach and ricotta ravioli are scrumptious. There's also a lovely outdoor seating area in the back.
Sarah WithersOctober 2, 2013$16 all you can drink wine, and a $20 all you can drink brunch special on weekends. One of the best places on the UWS.
Kyle YoungJuly 11, 2010Lovely space, decent prices, delicious food! The Grilled Portuguese Octopus Salad is amazing; so is the Bufalina Mozzarella Pizza with Tomato Sauce, Arugula, Cherry Tomatoes & Shaved Parmigiano.- Kenji TasakaMay 25, 2013Try the Linguine alle Vongole - Perfectly cooked clams. Sauce is just spicy enough to bring out all the flavors. Fantastic.
- Nicole YaleNovember 9, 2013$20 for unlimited mimosas, Champagne, screwdrivers, Bloodys, strawberry sangria, or bellinis; available from from 11a-4p on weekends.

Brynn ShepherdOctober 2, 2012$18 for unlimited drinks at brunch! The prix fixe menu is also a good deal, and the food is solid all around.
Jacky AApril 28, 2012I had the Rigatoni Con Pollo...so good. Our waitress was very sweet and was prompt with everything...would def go again!- Bernadette PleasantJuly 18, 2013Both food & service are superb. The prix fixe menu for dinner before 6pm is great.
Ask for Marcos, he's the greatest server ever! He'll make sure you bottomless drinks are forever bottomless :-)
- Jamay LiuApril 20, 2011great for boozy brunch with the ladies. $16 gets you unlimited refills of the alcholic beverage of your choice (bloody marys, bellinis, sangria..etc)
Diana PearlJuly 4, 2013Tons of food for the prix-fixe menu on weekdays until 6 -- it's only $13!! Very tasty.
Candace PetersonOctober 27, 2012Brunch is always great. Nice service and no rush being that there's unlimited drink service on select drinks.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzMarch 6, 2016Decent spot, ok drinks, branzino and octopus are fine, pasta leaves a lot to be desired. Friendly service
Anna the bartender is the best we've found on the uws. Come a few times and you're friends forever. Such a great experience at the bar.
BauzenAugust 13, 2011The brunch food is way above average, but the place has a very odd atmosphere mix of casual/ formal. If you're underdressed, or try to be funny, it's as awkward as wiping your ass with sandpaper.
- Jacky AApril 28, 2012oh the unlimited peach Bellini was greatttt - get there for sat brunch and u won't regret it
- Our Man On The GroundJune 29, 2011A great place for a lazy Sunday Brunch where you can enjoy unlimited drinks for just $16 per person! Read more
Earle RichardsApril 19, 2010I highly recommend the $14 unlimited drink special which last until 4pm if you last that long. Also, the Western omelette is damn good.
Trae FFebruary 12, 2014Decent brunch place. Service was ok, food came out very quick, almost too quick. Crowded and lively. Would go back.
Jeff SApril 19, 2015To be honest, the meal was horrible. Took 25 min to get milk for my now cold coffee and the omelettes were overcooked ant the toppings were just thrown on top rather than cooked in the eggs.- Gilbert McCurdyMarch 1, 2020Green Salads- $12-14. When bill came the Fennel/Arugula/cherryTomato & a bacon salad “special”way overpriced at $20. Rip off! Branzino w/ veggies ok price @$28. Lesson:ask $ b4 ordering! Won’t return
Early bird dinner special is unbelievable. 3 courses for 14.95.
ALMA TRIBIANADecember 10, 2010Try their Bistecchina or Salmone ... a bit pricy but well worth the price :)
andrea garciaMarch 2, 2010love the chicken parmesan and the other day I tried the Cavatelli bolognese and it was AMAZING Read more
Elizabeth WarnerApril 10, 2012Be sure to check the rating that is a C! But the sign is shadily facing away from the entrance so you can't see it. We up and left.
IvaDecember 1, 2010Prosciutto di parma panini was delicious, indeed. But, my water glass came w/ a dead fly. Expect oceans of time in serving food. In exchange for staying forever.
Sandra LevyAugust 19, 2012just saw how the manager fired a waitre in front of us while having dinner that was something really upseting to watch amd mostly something really bad to do in front of customers
Minns MokkiJune 21, 2015Con:Horrible sangria seemed was made with can syrup. Servers have an attitude. Pro:Cute outdoor to have a drink or two.
