Great Great Great! Did I mention Great?
Exceptional food. The sauces and pastas are beyond great. The service is always wonderful. The "prix fixe" lunches are the best bargain in NYC! Definitely go to this place-- really-- it's THAT good!

1/2 size, too
For pasta and risotto you can order 1/2 size, which is really great for people who want to try everything, but your stomach is not so big.

Foodgasism!
It was a surprise evening when I arrived and saw the open kitchen and the grill w/a succulent piece of tuna being prepared as I eagerly await a special table that the owners were ever so kind to give us. From start to finish everything that came out was better than exceptional, as I had no idea of what to expect. Asian-Italian fusion? What is that? It?s BASTA PASTA!!! Every morsel I tasted I had a foodgasism and if u want to leave a lasting impression on your date/mate/partner or lover this is the place to go. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic!
Gooooood foood! Strongly recommanded. I had grilled squid, spaghetti w/ cheese & prosciutto, filet mignon w/ foie gras and bottle of pino noir.... every dish was tasty, and also dessert! The prosciutto was real italian one... mmm.. You must make reservation because of long waiting line even during the week nights! The place is bit crowded I would day.

Exceptional Place
This Italian is one of the best. The food is surpurb, the service is wonderful and you get to watch everything being cooked. Their pastas are perfection!. Home made desserts (watch him make them) are always innovative and delicious.

Recently on a visit from Canada we went there with a NY local. Food was excellent and staff are so friendly! I can't wait to go back.
