Upscale Italian food with Tuscan influence. Try the side of sautéed spinach with fresh bread and wine. Outstanding!
Gilt CityJune 1, 2011On the must-try list: morel mushroom-studded risotto, salt-crusted sea bass and fritto misto di mare. Of course, the wine list is extensive and packed with great bottles at various price points.- The Friccassee of Wild Mushrooms on the menu's Side Dishes eaten with a glass of wine, and breadsticks dipped in olive oil is an amazing small bite, and good way to curb hunger pains.

Frank BallatoreMay 10, 2014Excellent choice for dinner pre or after theatre. Food, service, and the ambiance were outstanding!
James H.October 6, 2014Salad with rocket, bacon and Gorgonzola. Perfect. I could have eaten two of these generous portions.

Kelly Ann GonzalesJanuary 11, 2013One of the best Bellini in the city! Bruno is an absolute delight. There are also dancing mechanical statues on display.
Howard UJanuary 17, 2015It's sad to watch a once fabulous restaurant die a slow death. Where once a eatery known for elegant meals and magnificent service, there now stands a Groupony, tourist-trappy, overpriced ristorante.- Amanda KellyMarch 24, 2015Very fun and creative ambiance! Check out their virtual tour before you go. Read more

Fred SchofieldFebruary 10, 2012Best Spinach Ravioli in the World and I lived in Parma Italy for 2 Years
Indira AbrahamJune 29, 2014Cute restaurant but DO NOT take the burger..I am sure the other food is good though given the reviews
Best maitre'd in the biz. Great homemade sorbets. Lovely pappardelle ragu.
Matt GibsteinAugust 4, 2012I ate at a lot of places this summer, and this joint was easily the most mediocre & over priced one I visited. The tuna tartare was laughable and the clams + jalapeño even worse. Turn around. Now.
