This is a great restaurant to go with family, friends, or your lover. Favorites for me are fabulous pasta with shrimp, veal dishes, salads, and fish. Great deserts, reasonably priced wine and drinks with unbelievable service; they pay attention to all details and very accommodating. Highly recommend.

It’s a lovely ambience. Food is consistently good. Staff is very nice. There are always many specials and when the waiter describes them, he never mentions the prices. The specials are often much higher in price, so I recommend asking.

We were there for lunch right after a holiday so business was a bit slow, but the staff was very upbeat and cheerful. We have been there two times previously because my sister’s MDs are in the neighborhood and we will return again.

The caprese was service dry with tiny tomatoes, the lasagna was cold and the capellini with shrimp was way over priced. Average Italian food with Upper East side pricing.
