    It's a fun West Village eatery but if you are looking to have conversation or a business dinner, this is definitely not the place. The food was prepared well. The service was decent. The first thing they said when we arrived for our reservations was we need the table by x hour which I completely understand. But, from that moment on, we felt rushed with our eye on the clock the entire meal. That added a bit of stress to the experience. We didn't even order dessert and coffee because we knew we had to give up the table. The vibe is nice and I probably would go back for a casual dinner but wouldn't be a go to for any other reason.

    Great food and great service. We have dined here before and will definitely be back. My friend had the Papardelle and I had the Tartufo pizza. We shared the Endive Salad--all excellent.
