Bradford Campeau-LaurionMarch 30, 2013This is the type of place every tourist should see to understand the real New York and yet one I hope they never discover. Simply one of the best authentic family style Italian restaurants.Upvote8Downvote- Julia KwanSeptember 20, 2015The linguini with clam sauce is so delicious!!! There are a couple of dishes that customers order off the menu, so if you spot something that looks good, ask for it:)Upvote3Downvote
- James CJanuary 8, 2018Great old school family style Italian Restaurant. Go with a group. Get there early because they fill up quick. Also it’s cash only. The baked clams are fantastic and the chicken in lemon butter sauce.Upvote1Downvote

Order the house wine. It's pretty tasty and a bottle is only $20UpvoteDownvote- Don't touch the bread until the food comes out. You don't want to fill up and bread is for dipping in the wonderful sauces.Upvote1Downvote

Danny SoldanoMarch 19, 2015This restaurant was "THE" place a long time ago. In my opinion it's a wanna be hangout now. Over priced pizzaria.UpvoteDownvote- Rich GatterdamSeptember 27, 2015Over priced and under flavored! All the hype I've heard about this place and I'm so disappointed. I've had better clan sauce out of a can.UpvoteDownvote
Yuning ChenJune 19, 2015This place has the worst services in the world. And the people there are racialist. If you are not an American, don't waste your time there. The waiter didn't serve at all, THROW changes on our tablesUpvoteDownvote2
