The Corcoran GroupJuly 25, 2014Looking for amazing homemade pasta, and don't want to spend a lot? Then this is your place! Order the Malloreddus Bolognese. Added bonus: your gluten-free friends can still enjoy the pasta too.
I know the go-to is supposed the pasta & bruschetta, but the real hidden gem is the mussels that come in this chive/olive oil broth. Aannnndddd half-priced on Tuesdays thur Fri till 7:30pm!
Matt GibsteinJune 18, 2012The fried shrimp and calamari appetizer is awesome. As an entree, the saffron infused gnocchetti with a veal, beef and pork tomato ragú is the way to go. And, for dessert, do *not* miss the tiramisu.
ben mSeptember 5, 2014Dinner is great but try brunch too. When there for brunch get the egg yolk ravioli. No matter when you go the pastas are fresh and handmade.- The pasta is great here, and they run a "how to make your own pasta" class every Sunday afternoon (and I think you eat the pasta afterwards - sounds great!)
SavoredMay 17, 2011Vibrant East Village venue dedicated to the art of fresh pasta making. Enjoy any of the fresh pasta dishes and watch them come to life before their eyes at a pasta station in the center of the dining
Laura VitaroOctober 21, 2013Delicious homemade pasta. Great atmosphere. Half off bottles of wine on Sundays. And the homemade focaccia with truffle ricotta is perfect.
Andrew JonesFebruary 9, 2013recommend the meatballs and the hanger steak or try the lamb orecchiette if you want to catch the fresh made pasta. They took great care of us on a friday night
DoubleDeuceMarch 3, 2015The price definitely does not meet the quality for the food. The wine was pricier and excellent. One and done for me at this place though. Low on my list for the neighborhood.
Lara SchenckAugust 29, 2014This place is fucking fantastic. Seriously, delicious and quality food, knowledgeable staff, decent prices and an amazing menu. Go.- The pear ravioli is one of the most interesting / most delicious pastas I've found in NYC. Strongly recommended.
Andrea HongOctober 2, 2014Really delicious pastas (summer ravioli is bomb) and half off bottles of wine over $60 on Sundays and Mondays! Hello, two bottle Mondays. 🍷
Ashley OrkinFebruary 9, 2014Amazing homemade pasta, try the lamb orecchiette. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable about their great wines.
SavoredMarch 15, 2012Perfect spot for a low-key date or great night out with friends. Order the orecchiette with lamb and kale - you won't want to share.
Nikki 🌺June 2, 2013Mussels and homemade pastas are delicious! Quaint little restaurant with awesome brunch deals.
This is the most underrated brunch in town. Good for groups.
- They can order all the homemade pastas as gluten-free if that's your jam.
Gilt CityJanuary 24, 2011The hand-made pasta? To die for. But we also love this Avenue B gem because its walls showcase the works of a different local artist each month.
Samuel ShimMarch 27, 2013They have a great wine list (50% off sun/mon). Their hanger steak (med/rare) melted in my mouth!
Marisa TomAugust 15, 2011Handmade pasta — you can watch them making it. Recos = polpettine di carne, fagottino, arugula insalate, malloreddus, orechiette, and agnolotti.
JoshFebruary 14, 2013The Lamb Orichette will not even make you feel bad for our old pal Lamb Chop. You had me at truffle oil, not hello. Make sure you ask for a second helping of bread (otherwise you won't get one).
Matt WeinbergerFebruary 9, 2014Incredible pastas and wine. Extremely friendly staff. Highly recommend.
refinery29August 3, 2014They have an entire category of "brunch pasta," which we didn't know was a thing, but are so happy it exists. Read more
- The entire wine list is 50% off (!!) on Sunday nights (even the fancy stuff)
LibbytimeJanuary 3, 2011ask Matthew for wine recs. 1/2 off bottles on sun and Mon and great happy hour during the week. a great spot to dine!
Michelle C.March 12, 20125:30-8 PM, Tuesday-Friday; $3 draft beers, $6 wines by the glass; $5 meatballs, $5 mussels
Ryan PJune 30, 2013Really small portions if you're hungry, so keep that in mind when ordering. Also not shy about letting you know they are ready to end their shift.
Chris ThurlowSeptember 25, 2010Rob is the owner and will take great care of you. Lot of attention to detail here. Highly recommended.
The muscles for happy hour are the best deal in town for $5
- Matt GibsteinDecember 30, 2012It's nearly impossible to get a C health rating: your restaurant has to be filthy. But these guys managed to do it... and hide the rating behind a picture. Food was good, but kinda gross nonetheless.
- Weekend brunch gets you unlimited $10 bottles of prossecco with food orders!
Spencer FryOctober 22, 2011Was impressed by the food. The wait staff is also very kind. Cheesy decor, though.
Delicious fresh made pasta! The sommelier has great recos for wine!
Jeffrey ZurofskyJanuary 30, 2010Favorite pasta in ev. Senesi chianti at ridiculous price. Pasta tasting menu is amazing
