    Had a 6p reservation, at 5:22 was told the table was ready. Called to confirm 6pm and when my group arrived we couldn't be seated without the entire party. That wasn't noted in the reservation but ok. We were finally seated at 6:18 and immediately rushed through our ordering, dining, and receiving the check. After an hour seated waiters literally took plates with food and glasses with drinks off the table without asking if people were finished or would like a box. They even brought the next party up to the table and told us "you need to leave the next party is here", after only an hour and a half. It was a very awkward experience overall for our group and I'm sure the folks watching us grab up our things and rush out like we had overstayed the table. I would not recommend this restaurant for large groups due to the way they schedule back to back reservations with no room to enjoy the meal or for guests to be slightly late when arriving to be seated.

    Food and service are excellent. However, the seatings are too tight. Inside dining room is packed like sardines. If tables are more spread out, with sufficient room to pass through and provide privacy for customers, it will be much more comfortable and will get bigger rating for overall dining experience. Thanks.

    There are only a limited number of authentic Sicilian restaurants in Manhattan. We love this one on Thompson Street in SOHO. Pasta con sarde tastes as good as if I was in Palermo. Stuffed sardines and arancini are excellent appetizers. Many wine choices including reasonably priced ones from Sicily. We were there for lunch for over 2 hours. Never felt rushed. Made a dish not on the menu for just for two of us, so they are more than willing to accommodate.

    Celebrating a birthday with 3 of us visiting from the UK and it was a lovely lunch spot! Amazing food, would definitely recommend all the dishes we had (see pictures!), lovely wine too. Staff were amazing, they made our birthday special - would definitely recommend to add this one to the list to visit if you haven’t already! :)

    We felt as if the staff were trying to rush us through the whole dining experience. We could not order an appetiser early then entree - we had to order at once. The eggplant and special starter were excellent. The pasta was good but the tuna cervice was not tasty. The experience was spoiled by staff squeezing past our table to get to a cupboard throughout the meal. Would bother going back.

    I needed to change my reservation from 2 people to 4 a few hours before and the restaurant was very accommodating. We ordered the burrata and prosciutto, arancino and arugula salad for appetizers. All of them were delicious and presented well. The cacio e pepe was too saucy for my liking and the wild boar ragu was a bit bland. Neither were bad but could have been better. Our service was great as every employee was happy to help with any requests. I like that they pour your individual wine glass order at your table. The music was an interesting mix covering the 70’s to 2020 which is fine. I like some background music during meals but the volume was way too high for an already packed restaurant. There was no shortage of energy from the conversations and people. There are a lot of great Italian restaurants in this area so I’m not sure a repeat visit is in the cards.
