Wasn’t aware of the 1 1/2 hour time limit on our table. Was a little thrown off when the manager came to us & “ushered” us to go during our dessert. Other than that, so happy with this family of restaurants.

The piccola cucina salad was unique and delicious. Fusili and lasagna so distinct from each other and flavorful. Cannoli not too sweet and not super rich either but crunchy and light. Amazing good. Excellent service. Ambiance was lively and true Sicilian!

WAYYYYyyyy too many tables in there for the space. It was packd and the service team bumped into my chair, my head, and my body MANY times. Also, wtf with putting Lobster bits in the gorgeous Rigatoni Pesto. Makes zero sense and I am a seasoned traveler to Italy, including Genoa.

It was great returning to this delightful, authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of Soho! Food was fresh and delicious with outstanding service to match. The space is small but don't let that deter you. The restaurant is in the heart of the neighborhood with great shops, cafes and more for browsing after your meal. Highly recommend!

The food was fine I guess but the service was so weird - my friend and I ordered 2 pastas and a ribeye steak and they acted like we had 6 heads and asked us multiple times if we actually ordered that and then it took an additional 45 mins - 1 hour between pasta and steak courses. It was our travel day and it was the only food we had that day, plus we wanted some to take home so we ordered more than usual. They sincerely seemed like they didn’t want our money by the 3rd time they asked if we wanted the steak. I get that we’re women but we can eat haha. Overall, so strange!

Fantastic authentic Italian / Sicilian cuisine. As good as some of my favorite places in Catania. A bit “tight” in space but the staff was attentive and friendly. One of my new go to places in NYC.
