We shared Burrata, just amazing. Main course: Black Spaghetti, their signature dish and the Scallops, perfectly cooked. We finished with Crème Brûlée and Olive Oil Cake. Everything was wonderful
Angeline BryantJanuary 23, 2017This place has the BEST chicken I've had in my entire life. It's extremely moist and seasoned the perfect amount. The food here is very fresh. I love the modern ambiance. It's also family run.
Nicole ChristieAugust 5, 2015Delicious! The food is top notch--pastas, chicken, lamb ribs, etc. Great wine list and nice staff. I fell in love with a steak here...real love..

Burt LeacockOctober 14, 2013Chicken liver pate. Drunken goat cheese. Prosciutto. Grilled octopus w/arugula salad. Black spaghetti w/octopus and bread crumbs. Loved everything we put in our mouths. Service was on point! WBB.- David LewandowskiApril 27, 2021Antipasto, scallops, and grilled octopus are top notch. Even the chicken dish is very good, nice glaze and crispy skin. Fresh vegetables. Creative cocktail menu.
- Arjun SethJuly 31, 2018Burrata, Croquettes, Marinated Olives, Black Spaghetti, Beet Pappardelle, Affogato. Everything was absolutely wonderful.
Bacon croquettes and many different types of freshly made pastas. It's all too good to name just one of them.
They have amazing roasted potatoes, the best I've ever ate! It's to die for! Great service also!
Harlem AmbassadorJuly 5, 2013Ital cum Espana style stopped by and left it's cousin in the form of a restaurant. Great staff and service are clearly priority. With a prime corner location for checking passerby or watch herb boxes
Rachel CJuly 23, 2022Chicken fra diablo, polenta fries, and the clean and tangy cocktail (a pisco sour) are the ways to go
Louisa RigaliDecember 27, 2014Brunch on Saturday. I got the granola and yogurt--pretty good! Great relaxing atmosphere.
Anna RobertsFebruary 28, 2016Great for a date or catching up with a friend. Cocktails are yummy, wine options are good too.
Mariuxi TapiaJanuary 22, 2017Get a apptz, medium and large plate to share and that's all the food you'll need. Their zepploes are delicious too!
Serious EatsJuly 26, 2013Small plates-focused wine bar with larger meals as well. Try the crisp, ricotta-flavored zeppoles.
Great atmosphere. Try the Matador tequila drink. Had the New Year's Eve Pre-Fixe dinner.
Marcie QuintanaJanuary 9, 2015The braised chicken was surprisingly out of this world. Usually chicken is an afterthought on a menu, but this was delish!!
Claude DraillardJuly 14, 2013Nice wine selection. The food portions were exactly the right size and savory. A little loud, thanks to the girls birthday party.
The lobster risotto was just perfect!!! The selection of wine is amazing. I really love this place!
Matthew SpectorFebruary 15, 2015Amazing wine list and a nice tapas selection. Service can sometimes leave something to be desired.
Great food and drinks. Surprisingly good for desserts. Olive oil cake!
Karen JohnsonJuly 20, 2014My Sunday brunch meal included Smoked salmon & eggs benedict and peach, culantro margarita.
April ThompsonMay 6, 2013Small dessert sizes but they are delish. The panacotta was great. Antoinette is the bomb bartender.
Michael TDecember 1, 2014A class act in this 'hood. The steak and wine list are solid, both made to share.
Jennifer C.August 17, 2014Get the Basilisk cocktail, meatballs, Bucatini Carbonara, and all of the desserts.
Cindy FolsonSeptember 1, 2013The French toast... Amazing! Well cooked and the cream just makes it pop. Worth every penny.- Try the black spaghetti with octopus.. Amazing!! All the homemade pastas are awesome!!
Brad KleinmanDecember 15, 2013Faye is a sweetheart. The food is excellent. All around vinateria rocks. 5 stars
Samuel TurnerNovember 14, 2014Great specials! We had the lobster bisque and seafood risotto. Delicious!
Great French toast! Love the atmosphere hopefully it will stay just like this- Nicolò VerganiJanuary 15, 2014Don't get an espresso! At $7 it's the most expensive in town...And watch for the tip... they add 20% w/out disclosing it.
