    Amazing experience. It was my first time and I had such a great time. Though busy, the ambience felt warm and inviting. It felt like being home with family. Our server Elona was a bit cold and stand offish but all others who touched the table - Kesha and Ciro were an absolute pleasure. Also a thank you to Erik. The food was delicious and plentiful, we had the seafood and squid ink pasta, the calamari. Also the Italian cheesecake and tiramisu were to die for. Would return.

    One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.
