Everything was wonderful! The house made spinach pasta was delicious, as was the branzino. The artichoke salad phenomenal, and the tiramisu was light and yet rich. Service was impeccable and the setting lively yet intimate. We will be back!

We enjoyed the spaghetti with shrimp but the sole special did not taste freshly fried (it was room temperature and the coating was not crisp). The tiramisu was terrific, though!

Highly recommended . A neighborhood’s Italian restaurant on Upper East Side, true Italian food! Our waiter Mr Eladio was superb and all staff were very attentive. The ambience, the food and portions are great. The Arancini were creamy crispy. Perfect! A very good experience. I always come back.

Perfect in every way!!! You are treated they way you would be in a much fancier restaurant but without the attitude. There is an intimate vibe and you feel well cared for but not overly bothered. The servers are sincere earnest people. The tables are far enough away that. You have privacy even though it’s busy. They don’t rush you. Perfect for a special occasion!!! My favorite go to to impress people

Celebrating life on a quiet early evening. Hadn’t been back in years as we now live elsewhere. Hopefully we’ll be going back in the Spring and eat outside in nice weather. Food was perfectly prepared, service always attentive and my favorite Tiramisu. Thanks again everyone Ralph
