    Wonderful!

    We went to this restaurant because of all the wonderful reviews here, and we found that they were all accurate. This restaurant is wonderful! The food was amazing - gnocchis were the best I've had anywhere in the city and the salads were delicious. Our one (very minor) complaint was that we had to wait a bit too long to get the waiter's attention at times, but then again it was a crowded Saturday night. Overall I would very very highly recommend this restaurant - a great find! Perfect for date night.

    Quite the Find!

    Thanks to all the reviewers who brought us to this place. We found all reviews to be accurate. The atmosphere is lovely. We especially liked that, unlike most NYC restaurants, the next table is not bumping into you. The staff is attentive and gracious. The food was surprisingly superior. We will definitely return.

    Rome-antic

    Wow, what a find. We've been to many top italian restaurants in NYC and this definitely competes with the best of them. The gnocchi literally melted in our mouths. They had about 5 gnocchi dishes on the menu so it appears that's one of their specialities, so recommend getting at least one of them. Prices are also very good. Atmosphere is so romantic with the piano playing in the background. And they even deliver even though menupages doesn't list them as having delivery. A very big thumbs up!

    Great Restaurant!

    I ate there twice...excellent dining experience. The service was great, and the food was really enjoyable. Both times I ordered the Veal Scallopini....excellent cut of veal. For dessert, I had the fruit tarts...yum! Right across the street from Dangerfield's comedy club....use that as a landmark.

    An Exquisite Dining Experience

    The tuna was delectable. Menu, eclectic and exciting. Every dish we ordered was a surprise. Each entree was prepared with an artistic eloquence that deserved every penny of the cost. In addition to the wonderful food, the staff was extremely friendly and gave us a good idea about what to order. Orange Cheesecake with Pistachio ice cream was incredible. I now have a grand addition to my list of fine Italian dining.

    Best Talapia!

    We were delighted to hear from our guest that the Talapia was the very best he had tasted! We enjoyed Tuna, 10/10! Beef and shared the gnocchi which was perfect. Very large menu with no shortage on choice. Staff were attentive too with very friendly approach.
