Dylan was a great bartender and gave us perfect service for a quick pre-symphony dinner! The pizza was delicious and hot, just right for a rainy evening.

MUST VISIT Absolutely impeccable service and ambiance the server Steve and especially the server assistant Jillian was amazing!! It was our 2 year anniversary and they had a letter in English and Italian waiting on the table when we arrived. The wine bottle service was very professional and enjoyable! The food was next level we had the calamari as a starter and it was second to none. As an entree I got the spaghetti and it was delectable the meat balls melt in my mouth. My boyfriend got the nightly special which was risotto, scallops, and Brussel sprouts. Which he said was amazing. And I personally tried the brussel sprouts and scallops(which I have never personally liked anywhere else) but I loved them and will get them again. We as well got the cherry cheesecake for dessert and it was amazing and because of our anniversary it was comped. Overall 10/10 and we will be coming here for our next anniversary as well. Thank you to the staff that made our night incredible!

This was definitely better than last nights dinner and less expensive. The drinks were excellent, especially the Godfather Manhattan as were the calamari and meatball appetizers. My lobster risotto was good, but super rich so I couldn't make it through the whole dish. My mom ordered chicken again and it was awesome. The raviolis in vodka sauce my brother ordered were very good as well. The others enjoyed the pizzas. Good dinner. Great service. Fair price.

Great ambiance, service and food! We ordered two apps - the meatballs and the lump crab dip and they were delicious!!! Our group also had pizza, pasta (lasagna and gnocchi bolognese) and these were excellent!!! The pizza was thin-crusted and ALL of the food came out hot and as ordered! They served their house bread with eggplant caponata and we devoured that as well!!! Overall, a great dining experience and the wait staff was very welcoming to all in our party! Would definitely go back!!!

Wonderful pasta made at the restaurant. We had a pork ravioli special egg was spectacular, posted well with a syrah blend suggested by the waiter (abstract syrah blend). Nice service and good suggestions for a business survey with eight guests.

Lovely dinner near the vibrant Broadway! Classic Italian restaurant with vast wine menu and lovely bread tray to start. We loved the thin crust pizza and pasta dishes. Dessert options were plentiful as well. Service friendly, polite and restaurant roomy. They also have a private room if your group requires one!
