Reviews
This was perfect for a late dinner in the neighborhood after a show. It has a great atmosphere with a nice open kitchen and the servers were all really nice. The food was all wonderful - traditional Italian with fresh ingredients and well prepared. I started with the rollatiini - sliced eggplant stuffed with ricotta and topped with tomato sauce which was excellent but the star was the pasta with pork cheek, which has a wonderful texture similar to pork neck, and was incredible. I finished with the tiramisu which was one of the best I’ve had in recent memory. I’ll return.
Everything was super amazing. I loved how the kitchen was visible where you could see the magic happening. All the cocktails were tasty I went during happy hour. I loved the options off of the restaurant week menu. Would return!!!
Came through a recommendation on the “simply NYC” website and it was great. We had the fired pizza as a starter and then the amatriciana,pasta pomodoro and spinach ravioli for mains. Portion sizes are normal and not the American size which is great. The food itself was a bit too greasy in my opinion but overall really good. Service is friendly.
Really good Italian food. The outside terrace is very warm. Good espresso martinis.
I had the pappardelle. I’d recommend but I will be trying something else next time.
Cheesecake was incredible.
We went fir dinner last night for the first time. We sat outside and it was lovely. The staff was very attentive. Now on to the cocktails. We had the signature cocktail which had vodka, cucumber and mint. Delicious. I had the shaved artichoke salad, my husband had the linguini vongole. We shared the fried zucchini blossoms. And finished it off with the tiramisu! Outstanding.
Be aware of the small portion size, $12 Insalata Del Marcato is about 3 bites, 12 of Rollantini is about 2 bites. Perfect if you are wealthy and on a diet :)
Wonderful Italian restaurant in the West Village. Enjoyed Al fresco dinner on a lovely fall night. The Zucchini Blossoms were delicious-fresh and the right amount of fried batter. The linguine vongole was perfect-homemade pasta with a generous helping of clams in the shell. The shaved artichoke salad was great. Tiramisu was fantastic and perfect finish to dinner. And the “Signature” vodka cocktail with mint, St. Germain and cucumber was terrific.
Very solid food overall! The spinach ravioli was probably my favorite dish I tried although the crab cake is good as well. Just feels a bit overpriced. It’s also a spicy tomato-y take on crab cakes where I tend to prefer a more lemony tarter sauce crab cake. Still not make complaints regarding the food quality.
