    New favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food is simply delicious, the service team is well trained, knowledgeable about ingredients and potential allergies. Thank you Ben! Robert and Brian, the managers, touch the tables, greeting regulars and introducing themselves to newcomers. Hospitality at its best - warm, unobtrusive and genuine. Thank you!

    One of the best modern Italian meals I’ve had in a while. The setting is contemporary with a touch of whimsy and unmistakeable Italian chic. Service was very attentive. But truly the food was the star of the show. Fresh, light yet flavorful, delicious. As my husband said so perfectly, this is now our favorite restaurant on the UWS.

    Appetizers very nice and well put together. Pannacotte as well. Mains were tasty but a bit too much oil. A delightful experience overall

    Second visit. Professional service, very comfortable dining room, creative and very tasty cuisine, more than adequate wine list. And you pay for it all. Will return but not often due to the prices.

    Based on the reviews that I had read I was expecting much better. The focaccia was too salty, the salad had too much dressing on it, the chicken had too much tarragon and parsley on it and finally the mushrooms were under-cooked. The pasta dishes were good. The total cost for three people with tip (including one glass of wine) was $350.

    Lovely room and greeting and our server was nice and helpful. Appetizers were first raye but main courses had real flaws. A mushroom side order was to salty to eat and sent back. I ate half of the rigatoni arribiata which was also overrated Disappointed for a meal at this price point and that no main came with a vegetable. Bottom line is not nearly 5 star and overpriced.
