    Best pasta sauce in all of NYC 🧑‍🍳💋 so cute and cozy inside, only waited 15 minutes for a table. The service was a little slow but to be expected in a busy area. All 5 of us loved our meals.

    Very busy place which is a good sign that it had good food. Spaghetti with chicken parmigiana was good. Burrata starter was delicious. Carbonara was a bummer without the egg yolk experience. Servers seem overwhelmed with how busy they were on a weekend.

    My dinner was really good (pollo al la Bella vita) my mom got eggplant and it was rock hard, really thick, and didn’t taste very good, we didn’t complain because everything else was great. The whole front was opened up to the outside, our server was fantastic and everyone else who brought food, wine, and sat us was very very nice.

    This restaurant was busy for good reason! We ordered the hot antipasto (mixed seafood dish), the carbonara, and the lobster ravioli. Food was tasty, presentation was nice, and portion sizes were good.
