    Excellent restaurant all around. We were early so we sat at the bar for a round of cocktails while conversing with Pietro Marconi. Service and ambiance were amazing. The quality of the fresh homemade pasta speaks for itself. Whoever we return to New York it will be a definite repeat dining experience!

    Adorable igloos on the rooftop with views of the city and Empire State Building. We were originally sat in an igloo in the center and asked to move to one on the outer edge so we had a good view and they kindly accommodated that. Came with a bottle of Vueve. We ordered the Smores which were cute added touch to the experience.
