Celebrated birthday dinner here with a group of 22 people. The workers did everything we asked for, to make sure we had the best experience. I also messed up the count of people, but they were super accommodating and made it work. We did the family style dinner and the food was good and we had definitely enough for everyone. Plus someone in our group was gluten free, but they were accommodating with a gluten free option while still having family style - thank you again!!

My friend and I were excited to eat here after seeing the restaurant on Tiktok. Come to learn it’s all over TikTok because they offer a 15% discount to anyone who will post about them. The food was good but I there after better places to eat in nyc. We were the only table there for quite some time until another table showed up. I am a content creator for restaurants and I took a lot of photos and videos planning to recreate a post for them (for free, they didn’t give me the Tik Tok discount). After I posted a story they demanded the pictures from me to which I said I only provide my content to those I collaborate with. They said “We Don’t Care”. This response was rude and unnecessary. As a creator, the pictures I take a my work and not everyone gets to just have them for free. A lot of times when you share pictures with restaurants they will take your work and share it as their own without credit to you as the creator. People think because social media is free that the content on it is free for them to use. I told them I would be creating a post for them that they could reshare it and getting “we don’t care” was just horribly rude. I will not be back and I will not be sharing photos.

Packed tables and way too many people in a small space, so much so that we could barely squeeze out to leave. Waiter was great and did his best to accommodate the overcrowding, very friendly guy. Bigger problem was the food! after a nice fritto misto and decent pear salad, we had two pastas which were simply awful, totally overcooked and drowning in red sauce. So surprised, as we have dined at Cacio e Pepe next door, which is always great. And a pasta place in NYC tasting like a strip mall pizza joint is pretty shocking. Hate to say, but we will not be back.
