What diners are saying
Celebrated as a warm, welcoming New York classic, this long-standing Italian spot delights guests with its old-school character and professional, attentive service. Diners rave about the consistently excellent food, highlighting standout dishes like the Vongole, seafood pasta, veal meatballs, and a "chef's kiss" pistachio tart. While the extensive wine list and cozy, dimly lit ambiance draw high praise, some guests advise checking prices on daily specials, particularly those involving truffles, to ensure value matches the experience.
