Mindy Nguyen: The squid ink pasta with cuttlefish ragu was amazing! I could eat this all day every day
The Corcoran Group: Michael White does it again! This spot isn't nearly as expensive as his other upscale restaurants, but the pasta is exceptional. Must order dishes: the lamb crostini, cappelletti, & any of the gelati.
Village Voice: It's hard to go wrong with a toothsome pasta filled with truffled mascarpone, in a silky rich butter sauce, but they do it best here. The cappelletti with a sprinkle of prosciutto is the way to go.

In NYC: The crudo is amazing. Great outdoor eats
The New Yorker: “The food is comforting, with some ingenious additions, like uni in a creamy duck-egg spaghetti, and mint and pistachios in a lemony farro salad.” Read more.
Lockhart Steele: Get the fluke (every time), Knife and Fork salad (almost certainly), pasta special (if it sounds proper) and then roll from there. Bird is the word.

Jack Gashi: Awesome bar/resto. Versatile. Can read a book outside and have a Campari, or dinner with a group of 4, or a date at the bar. Hidden but welcoming.
Niji J.: So rare to find a vegetarian lasagna. This one is delicate and delicious.
Jessica A: I think I'm in love with this place. It's kinda underground. Go here on a date or with a friend. Get any dish with meatballs and def get the fennel side!

Ashley Chan: Really good pasta and selection of Italian wines! Loved the cacio e pepe in particular. Starters are quite large.
Charlottes: A new fave. We shared so many yummy dishes, I don't think you can go wrong. Their slightly sweet Bloody Mary is outstanding!

Nichole Horton: The tagliatelle with wild boar ragu was delicious. Good ambiance as well!!
Juan Canas: Awesome hidden jewel in the heart of SOHO!!! Great food! Cozy little place for select food lovers. Try the bruschetta with salmon. Unforgettable tastes!
Luke Kelly-Clyne: Sam Biddle has never really had a taste for calamari (he's my best friend and we've eaten calamari together many times). I thought it was divine. Pasta was so so. Overall, worth a look and a taste!

Noelle Quanci: I know you aren't leaving Italy to eat more Italian food BUT this place is my number one favourite place to eat in New York. It's super-small but cozy. I recommend the goat cheese and walnut ravioli.
naveen: one of the first places i ever went to in nyc when i first moved here. i love their great pastas and they have an incredible lunch special
William H: Broader menu than you'd expect to find at an adorable Italian place. Took a girl here on a first date that kicked off a three-year relationship, so there's that - your mileage may vary.
