    Everyone's right about the creamy polenta. Amazing. Maybe not the best pairing with the branzino but still pretty tasty.

    The tuna is very fresh and large enough for an entree but it lacks flavor and could use a vinaigrette or some sort of light sauce.

    Of course the spaghetti is amazing, but don't forget about the salami bread in the bread basket. YUM (coming from this vegetarian;).

    The spaghetti, which I had heard so many great things about, was terribly over cooked- such a disappointment. The turbot and the veal were pleasant but not outstanding. I liked the vibe though.

    Try the chips at the bar. Like waffle fries but in chip form, making them crispy but also light and airy. Seasoned with salt, pepper and Rosemary--the combination is delicious.

    Can't go wrong with any of the pastas, they're all excellent. Chocolate cake is also divine!

    Ignore the fact that swimsuit season is fast approaching and carbo load. The spaghetti is a dream and the bread basket unmatched.

    My all-time-favorite campari based drinks in the city - especially the perfectly composed Negroni - a real slice of quality Italy.

    Stromboli in the bread basket is amazing. Squid ink seafood linguini is great. Dessert was mediocre.

    if you come here and don't get the creamy polenta or the tomato & basil spaghetti, you're doing it wrong.

    Killer chocolate cake with salted carmel ice cream. The spaghetti with tomato and basil is pretty good.

    This trendy, upscale restaurant offers delicious food like their heirloom tomato salad and fennel-spiced black cod.

    Bread basket was a great start but everything else afterwards, including the polenta as well as the service, was underwhelming.

    Loved everything I ate here, especially the banana dessert! Polenta starter is delicious but a bit heavier than you might expect.

    Very poor service. Waited for 40 minutes for a table. No apologies on the long wait, we had to nudge the hosts multiple times to get their attention. Gave us lame excuses on unacceptable delay.

    I suggest the scallop for entry and then the duck ravioli. Flávio suggest the lobster soup and the capretto. Marco hás the tuna and agnolotti.

    Spaghetti Tomato & Basil is my best pasta ever. Mozzarella in Carozza is a great appetizer. Amadei Chocolate Cake is the best dessert I remember.
