UPD0WNACR0SS: Try the Fried Zucchini Fries - Delicate and mushy!
Lee Hoffman: The best fried zucchini I've ever had - make sure to ask for it w Marinara sauce. Chicken parm is good, lasagna is awesome.
Korye Logan: Eat the polenta and meatballs! Don't come on Friday or Saturday night. Don't get the fried zucchini. It sucks. The Dolcetto is great, Montepulciano is not. Music is too loud. Service is friendly.

K@rTh!kk ReDd!: Try the Traditional Jack's Burger, fried zucchini chips with smoked paprika aioli, peri-peri giblets and Bloody Mary moules frites.

Bryce Roberts: old school spot. could eat bottomless plates of the fried zucchini. if it's Wednesday its spaghetti and meatball night so you know what to do- but order extra meatballs!
M: Great spot. Loved the spaghetti, but you can't go wrong with most dishes. Sitting outside is a bit quieter than inside, at times.
nymag: Actress Phoebe Cates calls this UES spot her "sanctuary of sanity" in this week's NY Diet. She and husband Kevin Kline love the steak au poivre. Read more.

Alex Song: Fried zucchini
Adrian Phillips: Come here for the haloumi, peri peri chicken, fried zucchini chips (fried pickles) and the very straightforward cocktails. Margarita and daiquiri were very refreshing. Space is pretty loud though.
Samiha Khan: Great for dates. Cute and cozy design. Reminds me a little of the bar Ramona in Greenpoint, but with food! Zucchini chips and peri peri chicken is the way to go!
