We were in town for business and decided to try out a restaurant in Little Italy. This was the first restaurant we saw and quickly got a table for 4 without a reservation. The dining room was so cute - love the art on the walls! Alex provided excellent service - he should teach a class. The food and drinks were delicious! Everyone in my party was satisfied. I had the lasagna, and it was truly one of the best I've ever had. My colleague and I shared a Caesar and kept telling each other how much we liked the dressing. The gnocchi melted in our mouths! The owners stopped by our table and chatted a bit - personable and professional. We had a great time and definitely will be back if ever in town.

This place hit all the marks: ambiance, service, and food. Located in a beautiful building in little Italy, this was decorated perfectly (not overdone or underdone), where everyone can feel comfortable and welcome. The service was great. It was impeccably clean, and the food was delicious. We started out with a Cesar salad for an appetizer, and it was outstanding (you don't often hear people rave about the salad). The dressing was perfectly balanced... not too sharp, and the croutons were fresh and not overpowering. The pastas were very good. The Mediterranean pasta has giant shrimp, mushrooms, and scallops, and the bolognese was rich and flavorful. If you are into wine, they had a lot of high-end wines. Overall, it was a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

This is a fantastic local treasure. The third oldest restaurant in the neighborhood, the tradition and dedication comes through in the flavors and services. I chose to enjoy the shrimp and crab over gluten free pasta for my first visit. An enjoyable Moscato rounded out my meal. Yas provided attentive service and the host, Paul, provided engaging conversation regarding his 40 years with the establishment. The restaurant’s front dining room intimately sports only 5 tables that accommodate parties of 4 or less. The conversations are but a respectful murmur invoking a cozy atmosphere. The low bar, not designed for lounging or sitting, provides libations to the diners. I highly recommend this hidden gem amongst the towering structures that have cropped up around it. I would re

We had a fantastic dinner this evening: lobster ravioli for appetizer, gnocchi with marinara and crab cake main dishes (see photos), and tiramisu for dessert (photo). Service was excellent, food was even better. Cost was about 60 per person (included one 'mocktail' for each of us). Highly recommended.
