    Very helpful staff, we enjoyed the ambiance, and the food was delicious. We started with the bruschetta, and a Caesar salad and the main course was chicken Alfredo. We definitely will come back and recommend to everyone.

    Grabbed dinner before going to see Moulin Rouge. It was the perfect start to a wonderful night. The place was super cute and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the prefix meal with the Caesar salad and chicken Alfredo! The cheesecake and cannolis were tough to choose from so I would advising sharing both with a friend! Both the best I have ever had.

    The food was mediocre at best. And they seemed to have messed up a number if reservations. That said, the place was packed so they must be doing something right.

    It was perfect for what we needed. The food was good, they were close to our destination and service was efficient. I don’t recommend sitting near the doorway on a cold night as the restaurant is so popular people hold the door open and I was having a blast of air on my back all night long. If I could’ve sat on the other side of the restaurant would’ve been much better, just something to keep in mind.

    Great fixed price pre theater dinner that is close to Broadway. It is busy so make sure to make a reservation for prompt seating.

    I did not enjoy my experience here. The restaurant was understaffed which resulted in a wait for a table as well as slow service. The food was nothing special.

    We ate here prior to our show simply because it was a closer walk…turned out to be a wonderful experience! We loved our burrata, pomodoro, and orecchiette ! Both of us would easily come here again!
