Best Alfredo and chicken parm I have ever had! The dessert was amazing too! Can’t wait to go back

Needed to eat some fresh, homemade pasta. The texture was bouncy. The flavor was rich. The cheese pull was infinite. The service was top notch. And the vibe was absolutely unmatched.

One of the best and oldest in Little Italy. Since it was the last ‘hot’ summer evening of the year, we chose to sit outside. It was spacious and other guests were in good manners (not loud or smoking). We ordered a couple of frozen margaritas and moscato, which were so appropriate for the day! They gave us some complimentary yum bread with olive oil. After that we ordered pizza with prosciutto and seafood risotto. Portion was generous and taste was very classy, just like what you have in Italy. Price was good for such amazing outdoor space and friendly service. It was a lovely evening seeing people walk and enjoy their time. Would definitely recommend this place.

Lively ambiance - standing / bar room and tables and booth dining areas. Delicious strong cocktails, great bread and olive oil. Lasagna was a tad salty but big and flavorful!

Pasta was 5/5, garlic bread was 5/5, crème brûlée was a 0/5.. I like creamy crème brûlée not chunky but if you like chunky this is your place! Bussin pasta tho!

Great place to sit outside and people watch. Angel was a GREAT server and offered good wine suggestions and provided excellent service. Good wine list with reasonable prices. We only had the cheesecake to eat (made inhouse), which was good. The food coming out of the kitchen smelled wonderful. Highly recommended!

We had dinner here for our daughter's 15th birthday dinner prior to seeing a show on Broadway. The staff was so kind to her and really went the extra mile to make her feel special! This was truly a highlight of her trip. I cannot thank them enough for making her day that much more special. Highly recommend!

After eating here, I cannot imagine finding better Italian cuisine on the American continent. I had the spaghetti carbonara, my wife had penne a la vodka with shrimp, and sis-in-law had lasagna. I was not fully prepared for the excellence of this food. I knew it would be good, but it exceeded all expectations. The restaurant itself was perfect in its decor and feel. The staff all were friendly and we never wanted for anything. Also, get the limoncello!
