Micah MoreauSeptember 23, 2016In priority order: 1). Ricotta cheesecake; 2). Veal and ricotta meatballs; 3. Squid ink linguine; 4). Ricotta gnocchi. They're all outstanding dishes. Place is a goldmine.
Bruce HaydonApril 23, 2017Cozy & popular - make reservations early! The tomato plate they serve with the bread is unlike anything I've had before - very distinct, very good! Daily pasta specials that have always been amazing.
Rubén GarcíaMarch 6, 2018Apps: grilled eggplant, calamari and shrimp. Mains: The fettuccini with rabbit was incredible, and can also highly recommend the black linguini with seafood. For dessert, ricotta cheesecake FTW!
- DoubleDeuceJanuary 5, 2020Solid Italian food options with great service, a good wine list and spacious seating. It also seems more Italian and less American Italian for those looking for more Italy and less Olive Garden.
Elizabeth BursteinOctober 7, 2021Really good tuscan. Ricotta cheesecake is a must. Rabbit pasta and crispy burata great. Montepulciano good. Gnocci can pass on.
Janae RedmondMarch 16, 2014The closest you will come to a taste of Italy! Lovely experience, veal ragu was fantastic, so was the smoked eggplant and mozz! Won't be disappointed!
Nouf JJune 16, 2019One of the best Italian food I’ve ever tried!! we enjoyed every single dish .. even the welcoming bread and spread was so yummy. Don’t miss the creme brulee 😋- Ernesto GutierrezApril 22, 2018Incredible experience for lunch outside. You must have the off menu black linguini with seafood, spinach toast wit cheese and the mussels in cilantro garlic butter sauce.
Megan JohnsonNovember 24, 2013Puréed cannellini bean soup and butternut squash soup both to die for; tagliatelle with Italian ham was almost too rich. The ricotta cheesecake was sold out before we could try it. Good for groups.
Darren LachtmanDecember 24, 2012Just finished meal and it could be favorite spot in city now. Sausage crostini, homemade pastas, branzino and ricotta cheesecake are legendary. Endless fresh bread basket and authentic ambiance. Go!- Andrew StellaOctober 15, 2016The mussels were on mars, out of the shell in an orgasmic butter and garlic sauce. Bless these dons
Ricky SombornJanuary 23, 2014Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Food is great and the staff makes you feel like family.Order the Crostina di Salsiccia e Stracchino as an appetizer.
Andy ChapmanDecember 21, 2016Cozy spot, upstairs is great though a bit tight. Special papardelle with pork was excellent and mussels appetizer should be at top of your list
Jo RoNovember 7, 2013Great food, amazing service!! Cheesecake is a must, and the chocolate cake is also amazing! They Gave us a free dessert on top of what we ordered!
Wonderful Italian restaurant - one of my favorites in all the city. Must do for the area or searching for date worthy or best Italian.
Lynnelle WilsonJuly 4, 2011Pappardelle Pepolino is not to be missed. Home made pappardelle with tomato sauce & fresh thyme. A half-order is the perfect pasta starter. Read more

Saverio CianfroneApril 6, 2014Possibly the best Italian restaurant I have tried in nyc! Great service too, and the ricotta cheesecake is a must!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Nothing in town quite matches the perfection of the cheese and spinach ravioli, or tagliata, a sliced steak served with greenery; or inzimino, a dense calamari sludge not for the squeamish. Read more
Wayne FordMay 16, 2011Great traditional Italian restaurant, good wine list, excellent menu, and what may be the finest ricotta cheese cake in New York. (via Scoville) Read more

Navya ChitimireddyMay 26, 2013Go for the cheese cake. It's the lightest yummiest dessert to finish off the awesome dinner menu.

Laura VitaroMay 23, 2013Cheesecake. It's like a cloud of magical creamy deliciousness. I've never had anything like it.
