The pasta is first rate, but different. The gnocci made of riccota is simply great & the ravioli stuffed with beets & ricotta are mouthwatering & unique. The hanger steak with arugala is tender & rates with the best in the city. The sangiovese reserve by the glass was on the nose. The pear - chocolate dessert w/thick real whipped cream sublime. Oh, the duck confit special with rosemary roasted potatoes & grilled red grapes (yes, grilled) was terrific. The duck fat enriched the potatoes to a delicious richness. Go early & often.

Went there at around 6:30PM on a Thurs w/ a group of 6. Place was half full, but quickly filled up after that and glad we went in when we did because otherwise we would've a few more hours for that much space to open up again. The food was fantastic. Everything was sublime. I had the tripe, and the tagliatelle w/ meat ragu. They make it with beef, veal, and pork and it was supremely flavorful. The casunzei was terrific. The side of swiss chard was perfect - great roasted flavor and seasoned just right. And best of all......really affordable!!! Service was very attentive and low pressure as well. Never had to worry about an empty water glass. When the waiter accidentally poured a 2nd different wine into my existing glass, they instantly apologized and offered me a full glass of my original on the house. Only complaint is that the space gets quite loud. Other than that, a great place. Would make the trek out to Brooklyn again.

I've never had a bad moment here, except for the cramped quarters. Food, fantastic. And good lighting! I'd spend my hard earned cash here anytime. I dream of this place.
