I arrived and was seated pretty quickly. The problem started once I was seated—I couldn’t get a menu for almost 20 minutes. I asked one waiter, but he never returned. Eventually, another waiter saw me waiting and brought me a menu. I placed my order, but my food took about 45 minutes to arrive. The mussels on top of my spaghetti vongole were cold, likely because the dish had been sitting out, waiting for a waiter to bring it over. Overall, it was a really poor experience. Some friends in my building like this place, so it might have just been a bad day.

The noise cannot be classified as energetic. It was deafening. Impossible to have a conversation. Might as well have been in a singles bar.

We enjoyed several appetizers, our favorite one being the fried olives! We moved on to pasta dishes which were all delicious. The Max’s sauce was flavorful and pasta was perfectly cooked. We tried the gelato and tiramisu for dessert which were great. The service was on point as well! Highly recommend!

Our experience was amazing. Such an intimate New York vibe and our waiter was perfect and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I love this place and would love to come back. I felt like I was on a movie set except the food was better.
