Johnnie SkywalkingJanuary 25, 2016Simplest is often tastiest. Spaghetti with tomato and basil was very sophisticated taste that doesn't need to shout loud.
dara lynneOctober 27, 2011Of course the spaghetti is amazing, but don't forget about the salami bread in the bread basket. YUM (coming from this vegetarian;).
Janice KApril 7, 2018The 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.
Can't go wrong with any of the pastas, they're all excellent. Chocolate cake is also divine!
New York PRJuly 26, 2018The 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.- Eric WagnerOctober 23, 2010Try 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.
Kay TeoMarch 19, 2015Stromboli in the bread basket is amazing. Squid ink seafood linguini is great. Dessert was mediocre.
Dina FierroMay 20, 2014Ignore the fact that swimsuit season is fast approaching and carbo load. The spaghetti is a dream and the bread basket unmatched.
Nancy HeOctober 10, 2014Cavatelli and spaghetti. Great cocktails...very well balanced, great flavors.
Ada NeylanApril 28, 2011My all-time-favorite campari based drinks in the city - especially the perfectly composed Negroni - a real slice of quality Italy.
Jacob RosenbergJanuary 22, 2015Delicious spaghetti, so simple and pure. But the desserts are madman amazing.
Leora Goldfarb 💕April 18, 2014if you come here and don't get the creamy polenta or the tomato & basil spaghetti, you're doing it wrong.
MayaAugust 24, 2012Killer chocolate cake with salted carmel ice cream. The spaghetti with tomato and basil is pretty good.
Get the spaghetti and a glass or two of red. It'll be one of the best meals of your life.
n gJuly 2, 2012Definitely have the foie gras ravioli and the salted caramel gelato and chocolate butterscotch cake!
F-FactorNovember 9, 2012This trendy, upscale restaurant offers delicious food like their heirloom tomato salad and fennel-spiced black cod.
Ash PAugust 23, 2014Spaghetti will beyond impress you (and I realize that's hard to do with spaghetti )
Dustin LeeJuly 14, 2022Bread basket was a great start but everything else afterwards, including the polenta as well as the service, was underwhelming.
Jennifer WilliamsNovember 22, 2012Try the tasting menu paired with wine. Every course was absolutely amazing!
Jason KonenSeptember 9, 2014I've never had better spaghetti in my life, and I grew up with an Italian grandmother.
Jaclyn RDecember 31, 2018Spaghetti and polenta are great but unfortunately terrible service. Rude host and they gave us 3 bags until finally giving us the correct one in coat check. Mgmt never responded to my email either.- Loved everything I ate here, especially the banana dessert! Polenta starter is delicious but a bit heavier than you might expect.
Yaron Zakai-OrApril 13, 2019Very 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.
- Mike ChauMay 17, 2013Try the Braised Octopus - Ceci beans, olives, pancetta and smoked paprika vinaigrette
Keller Williams NYCJuly 10, 2013Creamy Polenta and Spaghetti, some of the best dishes in New York City.
Sandra PecisOctober 18, 2010I suggest the scallop for entry and then the duck ravioli. Flávio suggest the lobster soup and the capretto. Marco hás the tuna and agnolotti.
Emrecan DoganMarch 29, 2010Spaghetti Tomato & Basil is my best pasta ever. Mozzarella in Carozza is a great appetizer. Amadei Chocolate Cake is the best dessert I remember.
Chintan ShahMarch 25, 2017Chocolate cake, that's it. Very few pasta options for vegetarians and all of them were just average. Would not pay $30 for such a pasta. not worth spending a $150 for dinner with a drink each.
