Cozy spot! Loved the fried ricotta appetizer and ravioli for dinner.
Jillian NicholsOctober 12, 2014Cozy and romantic Italian place. The pappardelle with pork ragu is delicious.
Great pizzas! Try the Calabrese. All the pasta dishes are yummy too. Love the Orichette and the Pappardelle with pork ragu.
Lia ValengoMarch 24, 2014Super nice hostess. Didn't like the bruschettas, but the meatball and fried calamaris are delicious. The place is beautiful, but TVs are too much.
Creamy polenta side and any of the pizzas are good. The nightly pasta on the chalkboard is also a safe bet
JPApril 16, 2017The food was delicious but the service was atrocious. Be patient the brunch is worth it
Will DehnertSeptember 7, 2014Pizza is great- worth coming just for that. Two other sides we had were not so good - eggplant caponata and the salad.
Rafael da SilvaNovember 22, 2016Happy hous excellent. Great pizza! Wine is ok. Bread puding is fantástic
Lindsay GregoryFebruary 18, 2014The best Italian on the upper west side! Go there, but maybe not on a Saturday night unless you feel like waiting...
Hunter ThomasApril 2, 2015Good layout to feel spacious yet intimate setting. Good mood lighting. Standard food options.

Everything here is great! Salad and pasta portions are huge.
Keiko MOctober 14, 2012Great atmosphere and in nice neighborhood . Music little too loud and little too hot if you sit near the pizza oven
Trae FJanuary 29, 2016Disappointing. The risotto balls were cold in the center. The pizza was soggy with the cheese barely melted so the toppings just fell off when you lifted up the slice to eat it. Cool atmosphere tho.
Only boring people skip dessert. Don't be boring. Get the ricotta/Nutella calzone with walnuts and powdered sugar. And use a fork & knife for god's sake.
Amy RamnathOctober 20, 2013Upstairs has really nice lounge seating, very intimate ambiance for dinner!
MaiMaiNovember 21, 2011Small bites eggplant, shrooms, beets - awesome. Loved papardelle too. Fun wine opts 2 try.
The place is dark and loud, but the orecchiette is amazing- Michelle CoudonOctober 17, 2011Try the crispy fried calamari & funghi misti pizza! Loved the rustic decor & upscale casual vibe :)

- MikeyJuly 29, 2019Bad experience at dinner. Service was slow on a Friday night and the pizza was very doughy. Would not recommend for dinner. Apparently brunch is great though...
