The restaurant is small and has an intimate feel to it. We went there with friends we hadn't seen in a very long time and we sat for hours and they didn't hassle us or try to shoo us out. The food was very good and it has an interesting, creative menu.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Neighborhood GemCute, local Italian restaurant with fresh homemade pasta, wonderful waitstaff... you definitely feel like you've been transported outside of NYC into a cozy Italian home.

Food & service excellent--very accomodating. I asked for a grilled veal chop which was not on the menu & chef, who was a real presence, .made it happen. My only concern is that location may work against it, so this is one find that I want everyone to support.
