Great food, great drinks, amazing service. Small menu is always a plus for us. The food was just outstanding, fresh, flavorful. Will definitely visit again to try the rest of the menu.

Great food as always but the restaurant is losing its luster—looking a little drab. The service was average. There was a delay to order and to then to get a second drink. It’s normally very loud here which is why we don’t visit often. An early reservation mitigates that problem. The osso bucco honestly makes up for all of the above. Stupendous.

I ordered steak, which can with a really bad tasting cheese on it and dried out potatoes. Super disappointing. I should have sent it back because it was inedible.

Amazing service, food was excellent. Only complaint that they went so heavy with the Parmesan on both the steak and the side potatoes. Ingredients are so fresh and good and everything cooked with care- so no need to put things in pools of Parmesan.

I went to Saturday brunch during Restaurant Week with three other people. The place was busy and loud. The website recommends “business casual” attire, but most patrons were wearing jeans, T-shirts and sneakers. Some of the food was a bit too rich, but everything was tasty, fresh and served hot. The Montolpucciano was an excellent wine. The dessert with the cookie, ice cream and espresso was the perfect ending to my meal. I would go back.

Definitely deserves its ranking as one of the best restaurants in Westchester. The food was really good. Menu is pretty small but more than enough choices for anyone. They were pretty accommodating for me as I have celiac, they modified the friend fried Octopus to grilled and it was delicious. Service was great as well, our waiter was fantastic. The place is a little small and loud, but it was a lively scene and we enjoyed it. We will be back for sure.

Food was on point. Everything was brought out timely and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was lovely. Great attitude and courteous. Ambience is the people you bring but, the decor could use a refresh. Drinks from the bar were also well made.

We didn't expect that outdoor seating would not be heated, and it was cold out. The service was rushed (clearing plates while we were still eating). The food tasted ok, but the pastas were undercooked and not that flavorful. Overall, a pretty disappointing experience for such a famous place.
