Cozy spot! Loved the fried ricotta appetizer and ravioli for dinner.
Great pizzas! Try the Calabrese. All the pasta dishes are yummy too. Love the Orichette and the Pappardelle with pork ragu.
Creamy polenta side and any of the pizzas are good. The nightly pasta on the chalkboard is also a safe bet
Ryan RossAugust 6, 2014The seating upstairs is very nice so make sure if you go here to head on up. The food is good but not great. The service is the same. If you're tired and want a three star experience however..
Lia ValengoMarch 24, 2014Super nice hostess. Didn't like the bruschettas, but the meatball and fried calamaris are delicious. The place is beautiful, but TVs are too much.
Lindsay GregoryFebruary 18, 2014The best Italian on the upper west side! Go there, but maybe not on a Saturday night unless you feel like waiting...
JPApril 16, 2017The food was delicious but the service was atrocious. Be patient the brunch is worth it
Rafael da SilvaNovember 22, 2016Happy hous excellent. Great pizza! Wine is ok. Bread puding is fantástic
Keiko MOctober 14, 2012Great atmosphere and in nice neighborhood . Music little too loud and little too hot if you sit near the pizza oven

MaiMaiNovember 21, 2011Small bites eggplant, shrooms, beets - awesome. Loved papardelle too. Fun wine opts 2 try.
Amy RamnathOctober 20, 2013Upstairs has really nice lounge seating, very intimate ambiance for dinner!
Only boring people skip dessert. Don't be boring. Get the ricotta/Nutella calzone with walnuts and powdered sugar. And use a fork & knife for god's sake.
Trae FJanuary 29, 2016Disappointing. The risotto balls were cold in the center. The pizza was soggy with the cheese barely melted so the toppings just fell off when you lifted up the slice to eat it. Cool atmosphere tho.
- Michelle CoudonOctober 17, 2011Try the crispy fried calamari & funghi misti pizza! Loved the rustic decor & upscale casual vibe :)
The place is dark and loud, but the orecchiette is amazing
Everything here is great! Salad and pasta portions are huge.

"Arguably one of the best, most authentic Italian spots in the city. Chat up the owner while you wait & learn about the solid wine selection. Tagliatelle followed by tiramisu is where it's at."
Sabina B. - 8.5
"The best part about this new outpost...they take reservations! It goes without saying that the chicken parm & meatball parm are must-orders, but don't pass on the warm mozzarella or brussels sprouts."
The Corcoran Group - 7.9
"Start with a cappuccino and croissant and then go for the smoked salmon frittata with goat cheese or the pappardelle with duck ragu, shaved chocolate and orange -- a dish that sounds odd but works."

"Crack pie, compost cookies and Cereal Milk anything. Love this place. The crack pie is my favorite NYC dessert."
Ed Tapan - 9.7
"One of my favorite places to get lost in the city. An amazing Oasis in the middle of the cement jungle. Always something for everyone. Make sure to go further in the park and get away from tourists."
