    My fav Italian restaurant. Hostess very polite, server and staff very nice and professional, and the manager is a character on her own (very friendly) Food outstanding! Had burrata and the lobster roll, and for mains cacio & pepe and salmon pistachio pasta. Phenomenal. Sad that they removed the grilled octopus from their dinner menu

    We ordered the panzanella, the gnocchi, the ravioli, the bolognese, the carbonara… all were perfection!! Every bite was incredible. The Malbec and the old fashioned were ideal, the crème brûlée was just what we hoped it would be, and the service was just right every moment of the evening. Can’t wait to come back!

    I have walked by this restaurant for years. Always on a mission somewhere in Manhattan. I always stay at the Warwick and now finally on Christmas Eve, we went for dinner. It did not disappoint. Many thanks to the maitre’d who accepted my request for a different table. Food, service, ambience, five star. It may have taken me a long time to get there, but it won’t be too long until I’ll be back.
