This is one of the best Italian restaurants I have been in NYC! Food is fresh and excellent! Gnocchi was probably my favorite today! Will come back soon !
Food: brussel sprouts with fried walnuts were a bit heavy but delicious; rigatoni with vodka sauce was good. Experience: only one waiter, credit card machine was down and we had to get cash
Chef Dave is fantastic! Here's a tip: sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen. It adds to the experience. He whipped up some special dishes for us and we loved our private experience!
Always go for the specials - their menu is seasonal and sourced from local farms and vendors. Gnocchi is a favorite of ours. They have a new one to offer every time we come.
The burrata wrapped with prosciutto was perfect, the short ribpasta was delicious and very generous amount of meat. The only disappointment was the lava cake because it was more like a hot brownie.
The stuffed tomatoappetizer is delicious and great for sharing! Filled with roasted veggies and cheese. Delicious way to start the meal. My only complaint: the outside chairs are very uncomfortable.
The bass is an A+ with its fresh veggies. The hanger steak was delicious and traditional, loved the sauce. Portions are on the small side (but high quality) I regret not ordering apps. Lovely UES gem!
