   We rarely leave a review, but this place deserves a “beware” sign. Hostess seemed confused (observed her interaction with other patrons), staff seemed to be in disarray (our appetizer delivered to another table, the patrons brought us the food, not a staff member). Food seemed microwaved, tasted like hamburger helper.🤮 this place is below an Olive Garden level, not even decent Italian. In a city with many Italian choices, this place would be at the bottom of the list. Too many tables crammed together, we heard too much conversation with adjacent tables. Extremely disappointed.

   We used to love this place when it was in the old space. This place is loud and we sat at the bar. The main server was the rudest person I have ever encountered. Berating his fellow co workers in front of customers and just leaving his shift on a busy holiday night. Sad to see a quaint quality Italian restaurant lose its charm due to corporate influence.

   We absolutely loved it! Our servers were amazing, and the lunch 3 course was unbeatable. The kale salad and carbonara were heavenly. We truly couldn’t have enough good things to say about this place. We will be here time and time again!

   Lovely ambient restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed the squid ink pasta with lump crabmeat. It was light, with an abundant amount of crabmeat and the pasta was cooked perfectly. My friend had the linguini with pesto and shrimp. While the shrimp were great, there was so much pesto the dish was drowning and it made for a very heavy taste and she couldn’t finish half the portion. Unfortunately, the beet salad was underwhelming. Would have likely a balsamic vinegar or something to enhance the nicely cooked beets. Also one extremely small slice of goat cheese and 4 pistachios???hmmmm Did top the meal off with a glass of Super Tuscan which was lovely. Sadly, when we had paid our check I noticed the waiters were offering specials to the surrounding tables. Our waiter never suggested there were any evening specials which was surprising knowing he was a veteran waiter.

   Food was delicious but we really struggled with service. Had to beg our server to take our order…no return trips to check on things after we received food and had to hunt them down to pay our bill.

    Food good! They forgot my friends entree (simple pasta), so by the time it arrived +20min later we had finished eating. I understand accidents happen but maybe His-entree or something should’ve been comp’d or offered?
