    Love this Italian restaurant in LIC. Bread and tomato dip to start are unreal. Burrata is awesome. Great octopus, shrimp blueberry risotto and veal too. They split everything for the # of ppl at table

    Amazing Italian food. Order the burrata as an appetizer. And, if it's a special when you're there, get the Gnudk (sounds like Nu-Ree). It's like gnocchi but made with ricotta instead of potato.

    The servers here are very friendly and attentive. Get the burrata salad, it comes with walnut pesto, figs, arugula, prosciutto, vin cotto.

    Loved this spot! Spacious, great focaccia and tomato dip given to start. Come with a group so you can try a lot. Grilled octopus and swordfish were 👌🏼

    Superb Chicken Parm. Service top tier. Table bread is also really great. Pricey, but well worth it for those nicer occasions/moments.

    Delicious food--slightly over attentive service but I think that's just because they just opened and want to make sure everything is perfect.

    The food is amazing and the staff is great. Make a reservation or you'll be waiting for at least an hour.

    Just wow. I could eat the free bread and tomato spread all day! Must get the wild boar meatballs with porcini mushroom sauce. I had the lobster pasta as my entree. Drink a Saronno Sour :)

    If you want well-served, well-prepared, flavorful food, stay away from here. We had to wait almost an hour and the chicken parm made my friend sick.
