    Awesome experience! Traveled with our 3 1/2 year old and they were very patient and accommodating. Would go back! Food and wine were also delicious.

    A neighborhood jewel. Wonderful, homey food (especially the pasta and the always-fresh fish). The service is unfailingly welcoming and excellent.

    Food and service were fantastic. Multiple people besides our server checked in with us throughout the dinner. Very attentive and warm service. Only real drawback was that they appeared overbooked when we arrived for our reservation and so had to wait around 10-15 minutes in a very small, bustling standing area before being seated. Overall great experience.

    I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my delicious lunch at this rustic retreat in Manhattan. I started by tasting the chickpea soup which I’d never tried before. The soup was silky, smooth and full of flavor. After the soup I tasted both the eggplant parm appetizer and the Caesar salad. Not only were they a feast for the eyes but also a feast for the palate. I can’t wait to go back to try other delicious menu items!
