FANTASTIC experience. Great food, great service and wonderful ambiance. We sat in the side patio room on 75th and it was quiet and intimate! Pizza crust was light and crunchy. Caesar salad was super fresh and flavorful. A+!

Very cosy, great food. Gets really busy by 6pm. The portions aren't huge, so might want to have a starter if you're hungry. Again, the food is really delicious :-)

I came here post a Central Park wedding and let me say I was not dissatisfied nor disappointed. The appetizers were spot on and of various types to snack upon. The sangria was a refreshing light white variety that cooled down a warm setting. The sea bass special was paired with a crisp Chardonnay that complimented the entire meal. The manager came out to bring a champagne cocktail special along with a lovely dessert. The grappa paired with a double espresso was a lovely ending to a great dinner. The staff here went above and beyond to accommodate a special celebration…the manager was an absolute gentleman! Well worth more than five stars allotted!

The mozzarella caprese was delicious ???? but thanks in large part to the sweet and sour balsamic reduction, which also went very well with the bread! 5⭐ The linguine vongole was also good -- especially the clams and the sauce -- but I probably would have liked less from pasta. So overall 4⭐. Nevertheless I will go with 5⭐ for food. A 2pm lunch on a Saturday when it was raining cats and dogs outside. It felt cozy, inducing feelings of comfort and safety, sheltering from the incessant torrents.

Been to many pizza places in my day and with my wife now gluten-free we've struggled to find a good one. We got the prosciutto and arugula pizza (gluten-free) and it was probably the best I've ever had (gluten-free or not!). The crust was great and chewy, but not too chewy. The cheese and pizza sauce were outstanding. This place has tons of GF options which is nice. Additionally the prices are reasonable. My wife and I shared an appetizer of gluten-free garlic bread and split the GF pizza and we had left overs. For less than $30 it's hard to beat that in NYC

One of the best pennes I’ve had, the sauce was not super thick which made it very easy to let all the pasta pieces to soak it in. Quite reasonable to get accommodations as well.

Ambiance was fantastic packed by lunch time food came out quick and everything was delicious.! Service was amazing. Would definitely recommend!

We visited this place at 12:45 PM. It was busy, but you could tell that the people who were there were locals or repeat customers. The inside of the dining room reminded me of the many cafes I've visited along the Mediterranean Sea. Anda was first to greet me and immediately offered me a cold glass of water, which I truly appreciated having walked the two blocks from the train station (which is nothing really but with the humidity that day combined with the 85° weather--it was Ick IYKWIM. The restaurant itself has plenty of outside seating so you can enjoy your meal and people watch or sit inside one of the more secluded alcoves to focus on your company instead. There is plenty outdoor seating if the dining room fills up with its regulars, casual walk-ins and a celebrity or two. I was seated at the bar to pick up my picnic order. I found Anda, my hostess and server, to be gracious and attentive. She immediately offered me an ice water to cool me down and chatted with me,briefly, between her table checks. As I waited, I met Marion, the lovely and welcoming manager. She doesn't hide in an office in the back. She is fully present and engaging with guests as well as available for the staff. I placed an order the day before for their Picnic in the Park for two. My picnic bag consisted of my choice of 2 sandwiches, 2 fruits, an appetizer, and a pasta dish plus beverages for $49. Check out their website to get the deal valued at $100. I had a sip of Prosecco that was crisp with an apple and honey after thought. I'd try it again if I could remember the name. The cocktail menu has much to offer as well as a wall of wines to choose from for your meal. If you are craving some upscale Italian with a neighborhood feel this is the place. There are 2 single bathrooms located downstairs. They are small but clean and well kept. There's a hook on the door to hang any personal items. I was pleasantly surprised by my picnic fair. I ordered 1 Italiano (meat & cheese) and 1 Caprese (tomato & mozzarella ) sandwiches made with the freshest ingredients. Tbere was cheese tortellini, a salad with oil and vinegar dressing, and a mini charcuterie appetizer. Everything was so delicious that I pre-ordered another picnic for a future date. We are definitely coming back one day to sit and have dinner there for sure.

Loved!! Sat outside & had great service. The food was incredible. The giant meatball is the best I've ever had. And my pappardelle buttera was excellent, especially considering that I am not a huge sausage fan. The tricolore sale and sorbet was good as well. The lemon ricotta waffles weee yummy and they made my son a gluten free pizza that he loved. I wonder if you can really go wrong with anything in NYC.

We decided to have brunch here after visiting the museum of natural history. We had tried another place, but they were packed and needed reservations and this one was just down the street. Glad that we made this choice. Their food selections all looked great. My cousin and I both ordered off of the brunch menu and my son ordered off the main menu. I had the breakfast pizza it had lots of flavor and the dough was soft and billy sauce had a great taste. It had a perfectly cooked egg on top. My cousin had the frittata and she loved it. It came with a nice salad leaves looked. Fresh dressing was good. But she loved the potatoes that came with. It My son had the baked pasta dish, it was cooked nice and crispy with lots of flavor. So if you're looking for a place near the museum, great food here. We did have the water and as you know, I'm a water snob and it was very good. The restaurant was nicely, decorated well lit, especially for brunch time on a Saturday. The place was hopping the weight staff was on top of their game. Loved that they had an outdoor space that was still protected since it was April and a bit chilly.
