    Bad Experience. I felt like I was participating in a high-speed race. The lasagna arrived in 2 minutes, before I could try the couvert and before I could choose a glass of wine. I had to choose dessert during dinner. The reservation was for 10:15 pm, I sat down at 10:30 pm and the kitchen closed at 11 pm. The bar also closed and they didn't let me know. Finally, they charged me for an extra glass of wine that I didn't drink.

    Great corner table in the back that felt almost like a private room. Great food and ambiance. Exactly what you’re expecting.

    The best meal we had during our NYC vacation! My whole family loved every bite—we practically licked our plates clean. The octopus was unbelievably tender, the bucatini was perfection, and the carrot panna cotta was absolutely divine. I was genuinely sad when it was gone! We’re already looking forward to coming back next time we’re in town. Highly recommend!

    We had a reservation but waited almost 25 minutes after that time to be seated. The wonderful, spirited lady in charge brought us drinks and bruschetta. The service was pretty good minus bringing us club soda instead of sancer which they finally said they didn’t have. Salmon was so so. Pasta loved and beet salad too. It’s always a fun happening place.
