The service was friendly and on point. The homemade pasta with the basil pesto is amazing. The specialty pizza was exceptional with the hot honey gave it a nice sweet kick that complimented the slight bitterness of the arugula.

Had an absolutely awesome experience. We loved the food and the ambience and the live music. I ordered the squid ink pasta and my wife ordered the pasta with the shitake mushrooms and truffle sauce. Everything was in good portions and high quality. Expresso martini was mixed perfectly. My wife ordered a mock tail and she said it actually tasted good and wasn't just a cup of juice. Waiter service was awesome. The live music was a great touch also. We will definitely be coming back to try the home made pizza. Highly recommend!

We were recommended to go by a friend who told me that the cacio e Pepe was excellent. I was totally satisfied it was outstanding. My wife ordered the carbonara . First time I saw her clear her plate! Both dishes were prepared in a classic Roman style which is hard to find in Long Island. I highly recommend this place. I will defiantly be a regular customer. Ps we learned that the owner is from Rome! Thank you.
