I've eaten here several times in the past and enjoyed it. However, this past Friday night, the food was completely oversalted and disappointing. I had the branzino (21.00) which was one tiny fillet that was so salty it was hard to eat. The broccoli rabe-same thing. Also, the soup special-salty, salty, salty. The proscuitto was delish, and the buratta app good too. I am hoping it was just a bad night in the kitchen, but if it happens again, this one will be off my list.

Unless you don't mind waiting, get there early--it was quiet when we got there and packed when we left two hours later. Based on my experience, it's not hard to see why. The menu tends more toward northern/rustic Italian than the Sicilian food in most Italian restaurants in the New York area, so it's a little different and a nice change. I had the grilled romaine salad and the cavatappi, which was like super-gourmet macaroni and cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. The tiramisu I had for dessert wasn't that different from what I've had at other Italian places, but it had a very nice, strong flavor. Service is friendly and knowledgeable without being intrusive, and the atmosphere is very relaxed with a touch of romance. If you're in the mood for Italian but also looking to try something different, La Follia is a win-win.

First, we received 6 very small slices of bread for 6 people. They were not sliced apart, and with difficulty we had to handle each others slice to get a piece...skimpy on oil, as well. My husband's spaghetti was $.35 of pasta with a chunky, tasteless tomato coating without cheese or meat for $13.00! The "special", was tasteless beef ribs that another of our party found inedible. The burgers with gorgonzola cheese was nearly absent of the cheese. We were charged a mandatory 20% gratuity on our bill, not 15 or 18%, without notice. Upon our request, they were unwilling to divide our bill, according to our orders, among the 3 parties present. We were told we needed to ask ahead of time. I believe that should have been the waitress's responsibility to inform and inquire of us. It was obvious, that we were 3 couples.

Love this place, the burrata app is amazing, the food is fantastic and the quantities are "just right".

Fabulous find, small cozy Italian bistro with wine bar, great food good prices, don't miss

I work in the industry and I wish our staff were as courteous and as nice as the staff here. Couple that with excellent food and a reasonable wine list and you have a great neighborhood restaurant.

Just LOOKING at this place makes me happy. It's cute. Open and airy in the summer. Candlelit and cozy otherwise. I was very happy to see this addition to my neighborhood! I eat there all the time. The fish is fantastic - esp. Branzino. Pastas are awesome. I'm not a fan of the drink menu because it has a lot of bitters, which isn't my thing, but the wine is good. I take all my friends here for their bdays. I generally get the same waitress and she's always smiling and explains the dishes really well. I was hoping when they opened that the experience would remain consistent and it really, truly has! (and no - i'm not an employee and i don't have any friends who work there - i just sincerely hope this place does well- and you can see that it is doing well - it's always packed.)
