    Made anniversary dinner reservations weeks in advance. We were promptly seated despite arriving 20 minutes early. Very extensive beverage list including some delicious Italian beers. The roasted beets and octopus salad starters were delicious. Our entrees, the candele Genovese and the Lobster pasta with substituted homemade GF fettuccine were both excellent. Service was quick and attentive despite the considerable Sunday evening dinner crowd. A Torta Caprese, espresso, and an unexpected on the house shot of Lemoncello for each of us for our special occasion was a wonderful way to end a very memorable dinner. We cannot wait to go back!

    I hesitate to EVER book a Valentine’s dinner in Manhattan….but WOW this was my best Valentine’s experience ever. It was a 3 course price fixe dinner with multiple options and all of them were “home runs” in the opinion of our party of five. Portions ample and the tastes were outstanding. Stellar experience.

    Food amazing. Our waiter was very attentive & knew the menu well. Ambience beautiful. Only complaint I have is assigning to our table took time. We had a baby with a stroller, we was stood at the entrance for 15 mins. Other than that everything was fantastic

    Great dining experience. I’m always grateful for a chance to eat gluten-free without worrying about cross contamination. The food was excellent from the fried calamari appetizer to the ravioli entree to the salted caramel cheesecake.
