    This is a hidden gem that’s been there forever. Kind of tucked away right on northern boulevard in Manhasset. The food is outstanding and the staff is very professional and welcoming. The fresh pastas are sublime. Please go, you won’t be disappointed.

    It was really crowded so we waited by the bar area got a drink first and had to stand a while until 2 seats opened up…then they sat us after our reservation time but the service was great and so was the food so worth the wait.

    This place is awesome, been going here for years. Last night I had the shrimp wrapped in bacon and the stuffed veal chop which were both outstanding. The staff is amazing and the drinks are worth the trip. It's a must for dinner when near Manhasset.
