    I rarely leave negative reviews because I truly respect the effort that goes into running a restaurant — but this experience was disappointing. We ordered multiple dishes, but everything came out in a confusing order. The main courses arrived before the appetizers, and nearly all the food was brought to the table at once. For a two-person table, trying to fit four appetizers and two pastas at the same time was just impractical, yet the staff kept insisting on squeezing everything in. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning. Just a heads-up — be cautious about the service here.

    Very friendly staff. Excellent service and excellent selections. Several interesting specials. Food was superior. Typical NYC restaurant with small tables close together but adequate for our party of 4. Would go back again

    Food was great, only drawback was the worker who brought us our appetizer and within 4 minutes told us he needed to take it away for our main dishes? We literally just got it so we said no they should time better…perhaps most people don’t get a starter so the timing is lacking

    A pesar de que el lugar estaba vacío y siguió así me querían asignar un pésima mesa. Tuve que pedir 2 veces que me cambiaran.

    We give this such a high rating for its lunch time specials. For the price, the quality of food, and the efficient and professional service, one can't ask for something better in this section of SOHO.

    Small venue but big restaurant! Delicious Italian food, big quantities in each plate and worth each dollar. Pablo and all the team takes care of you.

    Food is delicious, only place I go for Italian food. Music gets a bit too loud for me after a certain hour, but if you go early enough it’s ok.
