James VeluyaNovember 20, 2011Really great food! Service is very slow (but very nice), which is good for a group that talks a lot or gets full fast. You just got to stay up on your waiter, food is worth it though.
Emma CramerAugust 30, 2014Share the italian flag gnocchi sampler. It pairs well with the waiters' amazing accents.
YaniqueAugust 28, 2014Great Italian spot! Enhance your dining experience by requesting to be seated outdoors! The wine list is also quite extensive and impressive!
Brittany MartinelliDecember 14, 2013All food was delicious! Gnocchi was perfect and they have gluten free pasta!
Lauren LobdellAugust 10, 2013Awesome Italian place with a great outdoor patio. Recommended for friends or dates.
Andrea BarrezuetaAugust 17, 2014Miss this place. Used to come at least once a week when I lived in the area
Mamie P.April 12, 2013Have the house-made fettucine. Seriously some of the best pasta I've had outside of Italy!
Lauren WeinribJune 16, 2010The semi-secret back garden is a phenomenal place to have a quiet dinner outdoors without the craziness of 2nd avenue. Also, great homemade pastas.
Katie NeufeldSeptember 21, 2011Best dish is their gnocchi verde, not on the menu but often on the specials. Also known as gnoccheti.
Best sangria on the upper east side! Also try the house cocktails specially the Vespa Royal.
Roseann LoSchiavoOctober 28, 2013Food was consistent, staff was attentive but main courses were a little small for the prices. Very positive dining experience.
Great Italian restaurant on the UES, try the Farfalle Vespa
IanApril 25, 2010The chocolate Vesuvio is amazing, get it with the vanilla gelato, small portions don't share!
Steven MooreMay 1, 2011Really good food, especially the squash spaghetti. Service is really slow though
Dane AndersonApril 29, 2012I love the food, but the service is WAY too slow. They need more perople.

"One of my favorite meals in NYC to date, and that’s coming from a big foodie. Olive oils, bikini and crudo appetizers, and both pastas. Highly recommend."
