    Had a lovely post-theater dinner. The kitchen was very accommodating in letting us create our own pizzas with available ingredients. Staff, as always, were very welcoming.

    We came for a late nite "happy hour" after seeing a play. The food and wine was excellent and service was friendly and professional. This is our favorite after theater spot. As usual, there were several celebrities. The clientele are sophisticated and give celebrities total privacy.

    My go-to spot for after-theatre dining. Never rushed. I’m sometimes the last one out at 12:30 AM. Much appreciated in post-Covid era when everything seems to close earlier. Pleasant, accommodating staff. Start with the Rosemary flatbread—a house staple from the beginning.

    Splendid little place to enjoy an after-theater dinner. Open late, friendly service, delicious food. We loved the charred cauliflower, caprese salad, margherita pizza, and risotto. Delicious comfort food on a November evening.
