Chelsea RenaudAugust 30, 2015One of many EV Italian spots, but possible the best tasting: meatballs, scialatielli; cavatelli with spicy sausage; garganelli botarga (traditional Sicilian pasta with fish roe); tortellini con ragu.Upvoted Jan 4
Shane ZuckerMay 6, 2015If Superman, Batman, Ironman, and a bunch of other super people somehow had a baby together, and that baby became, like, a really good chef, they would probably make all of the food here.
Lee HoffmanFebruary 7, 2021Everything here is incredible - meatballs, all the pastas, fried egg plant balls, chocolate mousse, salad w bacon - the cream / mushroom pasta and strattacheri favs
- This place is a neighborhood gem. Lovely, casual wine bar serving incredible food. Friendly service. Don't miss the veal meatballs (if they're on special), shrimp pasta, octopus & chocolate mousse.
- Grilled octopus is amazing. Love their Italian wines and pastas too. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, such a great neighborhood Italian spot.
Asli SJuly 21, 2018Very small space inside, some outdoor seating. Try the tortelloni di coda & the pistachio ice cream 👌🏻 prices are steep for portion size
This place has an awesome neighborhood vibe, amazing wine, and superb food! The cheese / meat plate is one of my faves in NYC.
Enjoyed a great meal here. The portion sizes are perfect. Felt satisfied but not too full.
Sean LMarch 7, 2012Love this wine bar... I think it maybe our new favourite haunt. It reminded me of Rome. Great selection of Italian wines and the service and atmosphere was just excellent. Love it!
Cody-Ann 👑💫November 7, 2016Tapas great prices and excellent quality food. Charred octopus is to DIE for
LaurenDecember 31, 2018Everything from start to finish was excellent. Had the eggplant croquettes, the meatballs, and the cavatelli.
Cole KennedyJune 5, 2015Sit on the sidewalk and sip Italian wines. You'll feel like you're in another country, or another era.
This is a neighborhood gem!! Best ambiance...Italian tapas and wine selection.
Araina SepulvedaJanuary 5, 2014Kennedy eating bruschetta!!! I was shocked he asked for more tomatoes. It was really delicious :-)
Alex HunterJuly 21, 2021Lovely neighborhood spot with friendly service. The Scialatielli is *chef’s kiss*
Frank MancusoApril 28, 2017Great vino at cheap prices! Happy hour begins at 12 noon- Monday- Thursday!
The food is to die for...the ambiance relaxed & chill...the wine is...complete bliss & they have a kick ass last night party on Thursday nights!
KartMe.com TeamDecember 28, 2010At lunch or for delivery, the Lulu's Special is delish. the mustard blends so nicely with the rosemary & olive oil. Read more- For dessert, share the chocolate mousse and the hazelnut gelato - it doesn't get any better than this!
LindsayJuly 7, 2010Amaaazing cheeses, meats, sauteed spinach, cheese fondue, meatballs, the list goes on. These guys never disappoint!!
AnnieJuly 25, 2019Go somewhere else for Italian. While the food was good, the service was horrible. Table of 4. 3 gets pasta but they forgot the fish AND it took 30 minutes to finally come to the table.🤬 Not worth it.
Chip KanneApril 27, 2010Sit at the bar and strike up a conversation with Davis about both the food and the wine, he's got amazing knowledge.
Dr FoodieMay 21, 2017Worst service ever in New York City 🌃 🗽🇺🇸 average quality of food apart from their octopus 🐙 which was good but not exceptional 👎🏿
Everything is *great*. Really friendly people. The all-vegetarian antipasti selection is phenomenal. Also FYI they have secret bloody mary's at brunchtime.
Try the Fondue, it's great when the weather starts to get cold.
- Joe DMay 18, 2012To say the owner is a confusingly angry man is weird to have to say about a restaurant. Be prepared for an uncomfortable dining experience
