Emily HummelJanuary 21, 2014Everyone is right - duck egg spaghetti with uni is a must, farro salad delish. panna cotta and stracciatella cheese toast were yummy too!

Michelle CheungFebruary 11, 2014Love the decor. Food is interesting yet approachable though portions are quite small for price. Definitely more of a scene restaurant. Should try once to experience food & decor. Again to socialize.- In addition to the giid fooid and wine selection, the service is impeccable - they did not charge me for the dish I don't like and gave me a free glass of wine to show "apology". Thanks!
Simran DassMarch 22, 2023I liked this place - would recommend the brown butter pasta, the clams, & the cheese app
go early sit at the bar get any pasta and a side of Brussels sprouts and the chocolate dessert. yummmmmmmm
Olivia OranOctober 12, 2013Super delicious. Farro salad, spaghetti with uni and chicken are musts. Seriously one of the best chicken dishes in the city!
- Grilled octopus salad, fried squash blossom and gnocchi Rosa! Excellent wine selection too.
Saneel RadiaAugust 9, 2013Amazingly, any wine on this incredible wine list is available as a half bottle so explore it (in those gorgeous Zalto glasses).
No Leftovers Jackie GebelJanuary 11, 2017So great for dates! Awesome atmosphere and incredible music
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014Amazing menu. Get the fluke, the cappellacci, buttered corn and the steak. Save room for their chocolate dessert!
shaunaOctober 17, 2013Noise level decreases as evening progresses. Crab laced squid ink chitatarra nera pasta bowl is divine washed down w/ hibiscus mimosa. Perfect
Serious EatsJuly 2, 2013Seasonal, Italian-accented food with an excellent wine list that includes some surprising values.
Pam B.December 4, 2013NYT recommends the risotto of baby clams; duck egg spaghetti; tripe toast; farro salad; beef carpaccio; roasted chicken; veal chop.
razor clams, blue crab toast, rigatoni, roast chicken = all good good. but that all hip-hop playlist tho...
BenMarch 21, 2015Super hip, great selection of small plates and wine, dining outside can be a bit loud due to street noise.
Razor Clams, Farro salad, burrata toast. Everything was amazing! Love the music and service was great!
One of the few casual restaurants that uses super pricey Zalto glasses for all wine pours (not just expensive bottles). So opt for wine instead of cocktails and pity the poor dishwashers.
Saif DiaDecember 15, 2016Brussels sprouts are phenomenal. Get them with the appetizers, as they can drown out your main
Brad ParkJanuary 7, 2014Five-star service, a relaxed approach to excellent wine, consistently delicious food, and a little bit of hip hop.
Nicholas M.July 29, 2016All food and wine were great, but scallop ceviche, farro salad, chicken and chocolate budino stand out.
Catherine RomanJuly 13, 2013Will be craving those razor clams, farro & herb salad, and the spaghetti with duck egg and uni for days! What a meal. Oh my!
Lucky BrandSeptember 4, 2013The Roasted chicken has quietly become New York’s latest food craze and the new must-try at this thronged, street-art inspired spot.- Meg FarmerNovember 22, 2014Always a win. Duck egg uni pasta is to die for. Service is impeccable, scene is trendy.
Amber VittoriaSeptember 22, 2014The cappellacci, blue crab toast, and ribeye are all beyond wonderful.
- Come before 8pm and you shall be fine finding a seat at the bar. Do name reservation for tables.
Stuart WillsonSeptember 5, 2013The Old Pal, a Negroni with rye instead of gin, is a nice fall cocktail. Pistachio lemon cake also great- Raw scallop in brown butter sauce! Still love the octopus best.
- Jasmine MehrabiMay 28, 2023Ordered the focaccia bread and farro salad - both were great. Steak tasted good too.
Marie La RueJuly 16, 2020Decent Italian menu, but somehow underwhelming given its reputation. Seasoning was overall a bit uneven. Grilled chicken was excellent. Time-travel with their 2000s rap playlist.
Jennifer NguyenOctober 28, 2014Everything was awesome. Ordered fusili nero,eggplant, cauliflower, potatoes. Get the chocolate dessert!- any pasta. annnnnnnnny pasta. and the Brussels sprouts. ultimate low-key celebration spot.
Dan FetznerOctober 8, 2014Razor Clams and Stracciatella Cheese Toast were phenomenal. Great music - 90s Hip Hop
service impeccable. do yourself a favor and order one thing from every section of the menu!- Valentin GuerinOctober 15, 2017Farro salad and burrata were delicious, with a glass of Sicilian wine.
Hani HongAugust 30, 2013Extremely loud though the food was mesmerizing. My classical music loving sister didn't even notice the hip hop blaring in her ears because her tastebuds had all her attention.
Razor clams and the crispy chicken. But really it’s all amazing.
Rory ParnessDecember 4, 2015The donuts for dessert were well they were um they were let's see uh indescribably good. Damn - get them!
Kathryn ChengJuly 27, 2013Duck egg uni pasta full stop. Razor clams, chicken liver toast, piglet and chocolate dessert.- They really pay attention to details - down to the wine glass. It completes the wine moments.
Conchita A.May 20, 2014The service was as excellent as the food. Both tandem. Mor than one waiter per table. All working synergistically.- Come here before 7:30pm any day. Or prepared to wait 30 MIBs plus, for party of 2 or more
Christophe AldunateDecember 4, 2013Service is friendly and food worth the prices but ambiance is sadly TOO LOUD 😁 surrounded by Rap Music, you have to shout to talk that amplifies the phenomenon 😳- Christopher TaiAugust 14, 2014Start with the fluke. The dry aged ribeye with duck fat potatoes is what's for dinner!
