Great group experience, the family style plates are a great party idea. The gnocchi is amazing! The manicotti was a bit of a let down. The coffe with sambuca is superb.Make reservations, crowded.

The chicken parmigiana is very good. The portions are huge and you need to bear this in mind when ordering. The calamari starter was very good too.

Great for people with dietary concerns. Ask them for the special menu that outlines options for vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and more. Huge servings and very friendly staff.

Huge portions of meals. Italian cuisine . It is a very good place especially for crowded celebrations.. Calamari and pasta are very delicious, 3 people can eat a plate. Make a reservation before you

Only come here with a large group as it’s family style and the portions are beyone huge! Try the Rigatoni with Sausage & Broccoli. And save room for dessert.

Old-school Italian and gluten-free dining may seem like an impossible combination, but this family-style favorite has an allergy-sensitive menu—with an extensive pasta section. Read more

This place is located near Times Square and was a great Italian restaurant. If you go be sure to order a porter house. It was amazing! They even slice it up for you so it's easy to share.

Had a great experience! Dishes were very big enough for min 4 people each. Mixed seafood pasta was delicious and meatball pasta was good. Will visit again but with some more people😂💜

giant portions😩😩I wish they could serve in half because even if you are 2 starving guys, still you can not finish 1 main course without having starter. prices are really good and foods taste nice🤤

Come with your appetite! Best bet is for everyone in your group to agree on a dish and share! The portions are HUGE! The chicken marsala, and the angel hair pasta with garlic is delicious!

Larry is the best server!!! Knowledgeable, friendly, and sweet. The (10) shrimp cocktail is more than enough for 3 people and the chicken parm is outrageous in size and taste. Highly recommend

Bustling atmosphere but most importantly tasty food for huge appetites in family size portions. Calamari & wings alone would fully feed a family of four...and they are appetisers!

OMG!!! Food was amazing and all came family style…so much food. One entree could feed a family of 6. We got the chicken dish with sausage, peppers onion and potatoes and the chicken Parmesan.

Massive Italian portions, lots of garlic. Best to go right after the Broadway shows start, the waits tend to thin quickly. ALSO, IT'S REALLY LOUD SO BE PREPARED TO SHOUT A LOT!

Chicken Parm and Eggplant Parm were both AMAZING! As if the portions weren't big enough, we wanted to taste the Tiramisu which was HUGE and very good. Can't wait to come back to Times Sq!

Weekends is crazy wait, was told 1.30 hours wait, hence we ordered to go. The food is authentic and yummy and generous in helping. Unfortunately forgot to click pictures, love their meatball.

One salad one main with pasta feeds four people. Chicken parmigiana is beautiful. Service was excellent too. Quick, busy but not rushed.

The food is excellent! Portions are huge. One pasta is good for 4 guys. One thing I didn't like was that our waiter pushed us to order more when there was more than enough to eat.

In $32 you can feed 3! Great clam linguini, meatballs & seafood pasta. You'll love the service. Eat at the bar if you can't wait for a seat. Fresh bread basket included!

If you're vegan, ask for the veg menu. They're very accommodating, so if you see something you want that isn't on that menu (ex: garlic & oil which is cooked in chicken broth) they'll make it for you.

Been here 10+ times
Try the Chicken Saltimbocca! They serve it with chicken breast and prosciutto served over a bed of sauteed spinach. Topped with melted mozzarella and surrounded in a brown sauce. My favorite

If you are a party of 2, you need to order one entree - and that's it. We got a salad & one entree - could have fed 6 people. If you can manage leftovers, go for it. Next time we will invite friends!

Ask for the Spaghetti with Meatballs! Jesus, I've never felt so satisfied with a meal in my life! And for dessert a Tiramisu! So good and so cheap! Worth going at least three times when in NYC!

Shockingly the food here is actually good. Best to go with minimum 4 people bc the sizes are that big. If you’re 2, just get 1 pasta to share. Also, the artichokes.

Plates are huge – about 3 people to a plate. 2 people to a plate if you're really hungry. Eggplant parm is great. Touristy spot, but food can be good. Cavernous space; good for groups.

Excellent food, chicken saltimbocca on angel hair is a great option if you're not feeling chicken parm or a cream sauce. One order feeds about 3. $10 extra to put it on pasta.
