    My travel mate and I were looking for a nice restaurant that would not cause us to have to mortgage four houses. I researched Open Table and found this restaurant. After days of museums, were were looking for a restaurant with ambience. Visually this was great.The table bread served was cut up pizza crust? (some very burnt)The 1st course of beef carpachio was okay. Beef good, but entire dish was tasteless. Maybe needed capers to season a bit.I ordered margherita pizza.It came with dried oregano and tasteless tomato sauce.Crust okay with a couple of basil leaves. My dinner mate ordered a ravioli which she said was good. I ordered a tuscan wine, which I had to send back initially and they agreed that it was old and corked.I reordered another, but still not good. Tisamisu for dessert. More yellow cake and very dry and short of a little "booze" to keep moist. Wait staff not proficient at timing. Either there when we didn't want them or had to get up and find them.

    Food and drinks were just OK, the service was not great. place is cool. Not worth the price. Too much hype for what it truly is. Be aware they add the tip to the check.

    Small neighborhood restaurant with decent ambience. Arrived for a late dinner and was seated immediately at a side table. Wait staff was very attentive but not the friendliest. Food was middle-of-the-road in taste and quality, and in my opinion was overpriced for the serving size. Overall, we had a good experience, but there are other Italian restaurants in the Chelsea and Midtown areas that I would recommend over this establishment.

    Loved this restaurant! We had tickets to the Joyce and they were very accommodating to get us there on time, even though our train was late. Made reservations on the way in. Such great service. Quick attention to a minor mistake, made the dinner pleasant. Manager was attentive and helpful. The food was fresh and tasty! My daughter loved it too!

    Il cibo era buono e c'era sufficiente scelta. Il personale è stato molto cordiale. Ottimo posto per famiglie. L'illuminazione un po' scarsa ma ci si vedeva comunque. Nel complesso consigliato.

    Enjoyed the whole experience. My meal was great, I had the chicken breast with mushrooms and an amazing mustard sauce. It was too much to eat but delicious. My husband had the lasagna and thought was too tomato heavy. The house wine was very nice. We were too full for dessert but the selection looked amazing. Great place to go and not crowded at all.

    Unfortunately, the steak and eggs were not edible. The sirloin steak advertised was brought out and was as thin as bacon… the eggs were supposed to be sunny side up & came scrambled & did not taste good at all. I had to tell them I could not eat the meal.

    The server ignored us the entire time. He took over 10 minutes to greet us. The chef had to tell him to come over to our table. Did not talk with us at all and at the end he took over 20 minutes to bring the bill.
