- Jordan MSeptember 7, 2014My uncle introduced me to this place. He has been coming to this restaurant since he was a kid. Amazing classic Italian food in a practically invisible Greenwich Street basement storefront.Upvote6Downvote
Buford BarnesMay 29, 2012Established 1918, continuously family owned & operated. Features Italian cuisine and a veteran wait staff that gives it a homey feeling. Chef is willing to design a menu for the table.Upvote5Downvote
Andrew CJune 10, 2019The staff is super friendly and attentive and quick to serve... the pastas are homemade and the bolognese is tasty, yet very light, compared to other places, it tastes like pork or veal (not beef)!!Upvote2Downvote
Bin YangApril 5, 2016Charming, attentive and not overbearing service. I recommend starting with some daily special apps, a pasta, then move on to the stuffed veal. Incredibly light ricotta cheesecake to finish.UpvoteDownvote
NanaSeptember 13, 2016Simple yet delicious Italian. We got the portobello balsamic and Fettuccini funghi and both the dishes were very well balanced and delicious.UpvoteDownvote

Stephanie ChangMarch 24, 2011Have the "carciofini vura" (baby artichokes) baked and serve in a light lemon sauce, you won't regret it. I also recommend Eggplant Parmigiana, so light and layers thinly sliced, great tomato sauce!UpvoteDownvote
What's Good HereOctober 19, 2014Frutti di Mare - go against the recommendation and sprinkle some of the parmigiana cheese on this.
