Testimonials
Found this place by accident when I was passing by and decided to have dinner instead. The place had a really old classic italian vibe which felt cozy and rustic. The staff were really nice and professional. The food was nice but may be a bit pricy but other than that a great night. I would highly recommend if you wish to have an elegant and nice dinner
I was looking for a good restaurant on the upper east side and instead found a great neighborhood restaurant. This 12-seat Italian restaurant provided a relaxing atmosphere with wonderful service and food. I started by asking for bruschetta which was not on the menu but was not an issue for the kitchen. It was really good especially with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar placed on the table. My next choice was one of the specials, lobster ravioli with clams and mussels.
We went to this restaurant on a whim and I was not disappointed! The waitstaff were so friendly and funny and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing. Got the chicken franchise and the chicken was thin and cooked perfectly in the best lemon wine sauce. And the flourless chocolate cake warmed with ice cream was the best end to the meal. And the wine was just lovely. Will totally go again
Quaint, authentic Italian place nestled in the UES. Delicious specials, wine by the glass is just a mental list. We had the sole special with wine & mushroom sauce, a rolled pork chop special, the gnocchi, and the fried zucchini. Everything was perfectly seasoned. The waitstaff is incredibly attentive and congenial. We will be back!
We recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming Italian restaurant and was absolutely delighted from start to finish. The warm atmosphere made us feel like a home away from home with the friendly staff treated us like family. Their daily specials stole the show and left a lasting impression. We had the red pesto with homemade raviolis' with an assortment of the seafood. It was perfectly done, with plump shrimp and mussels that tasted incredibly fresh.
Headline: maybe the best Italian food in NYC, My friend and I wanted to grab dinner on the UES, and this place seemed like it would be nice. We had a lovely Italian man tell us the specials and interact with us through the evening and it was lovely. We got some spritzes, calamari, pasta, ricotta cheesecake, and it was all spectacular. The place is pricey for sure, but if you’re ready, it’s amazing. I want to come back — HIGHLY recommend.
What a cozy spot on the UES! The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Exactly what you want for an Italian place. The service was excellent. I requested if they could use their marsala preparation with chicken and they were so excited to try something a little different. Such a lovely experience. The fried zucchini was great as well. It was a nice, intimate spot to celebrate my friend's birthday.
Wonderful Italian spot on the UES. Great ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a night out with family. I had the filet of sole special and my husband requested a veal chop valdostana. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. The wine list is extensive and perfect for the menu. Service was warm and attentive. We have found our new spot in the neighborhood and would highly recommend.
Haven't been here since the Pandemic hit, but we are soo glad we stopped by! Giulio was amazing. Treated us like family from the min we walked in. The food was exceptional. Honestly, everything we ordered was out of this world! They made my truffle fettuccine in front of me AND my banana dessert! Just an amazing night! Thank you for the wonderful experience! Even with restrictions for Covid easing, we felt very safe. Staff wore masks, barriers in place, and hand sanitizer available!
