Jenny Bossel: Dim lighting, romantic atmosphere... Wonderful wine list. Try the red beet fingerling gnocchi in the gorgonzola sauce, it's just divine!!
Michelle G: The pappardelle ragu is incredibly yummy! Start with the truffle polenta or pear and Gorgonzola salad. Charming back garden...almost like sitting on a hill in Montepluciano.
Karsten: Meatball Monday's, gnocchi, goat cheese ricotta and honey bruschetta, and any type of cheese is amazing 👌
Nikki 🌺: The grilled calamari appetizer, broccoli rabe, and homemade linguini puttanesca are amazing!
Alyson Spina: Homemade pastas, bread baskets & sauces are all delicious. An authentic, ambient Italian restaurant. Enjoy a great meal for reasonable $. Much more elegant than a pizzeria, but w same hearty feeling.
Chiara Caremoli: Everything!! I had the penne alla vodka which were amazing, my friend had the bolognese (they even have gluten free pasta) and that was amazing too, the minestrone and pomodoro were so great too!

Nikki 🌺: Try the margherita pizza and fried calamari to start, and then one of their homemade pastas as an entree! Can't go wrong with any of the selections!
funky flavor: Try the pizza(Margarita) and the gnocchi, no one can go wrong with gnocchi.
Sibel Akcekaya: Great choice if you want to get quick bite to eat, especially pastas are super fast and fresh fettuccine was super delicious

Avril Shower: The 3 best dishes: pappardelle alla Bolognese, Sfoglia’s chicken al mattone and Bread Pudding!!!
Flynn Jones: Tip to self: the Pappardelle alla Bolognese is great. The Rhubarb and Cherry Torta with Vanilla Gelato is--somehow--even better.
Ben Waters: Sit at the bar, and order the pappardelle and seasonal dessert tart. You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails (especially the tangerine cello). The roast chicken is a staple and always delicious.
Robert Greenlees: Great italian market! Prepared food is great, bread and cheese selection is awesome and the fresh pasta they make is delicious. Also has a MUCH better produce selection that D'Agostinos.
Sarah Gravely: The lobster ravioli is a must. Have tried finding it elsewhere and tried ordering it at various restaurants in the area, nothing compares such a treat and easy to make, excellent with vodka sauce.
Tracy C: awesome variety of cheeses and fresh pasta station

Suzanne The Matchmaker: The best pasta is Santa Lucia - you can only get it on Saturday night!
Suzanne The Matchmaker: Best night is Wednesday...spaghetti & meatball night!!
Mari Abe: Meatball Wednesdays are legit. Get it as an appetizer, as a side, as a dessert or in my case as an entree over spaghetti. 🍝🍝🍝

Scott Hamula: Rigatoni with spicy Italian sausage and Puccini mushrooms, and lemon tart for dessert. Wonderful!
Christine Alvarez: The lobster ravioli is divine.. Pair it with the Malbec from Argentina and you're set.
Thaís Molina: Very good pasta, but the 'special free dessert' it's apparently not valid anymore.

reece pacheco: Lasagna Bolognese is awesome. Also, best iced tea I've ever had.
The Corcoran Group: Mezzaluna is the perfect low-key Italian dinner on the Upper East Side. You can’t go wrong with any of the brick oven pizzas; however our recommendation is the spicy black linguine with shrimp.
TK 🍦🍷: Delicious: artichoke ravioli w/brown butter sage sauce. Also yummy: kale salad. But: my pasta arrived 20 mins after everyone else's entree. On a Friday night, it was full of families (lots of kids).

Elena Gribok: A family restaurant, with giant portions and so tasty, that u can night your tongue off!!!!! Ravioli are perfect!!!!
Haley Bissegger: Food was excellent and the staff was even better. I was with a large group and they were very accommodating and friendly. The vodka pasta with mushrooms was particularly delicious.

Chelsea V.: The butternut squash salad is the best (it's seasonal) and I stick with the parmigiana ravioli with...yes, truffle butter!
Sigalle Barness: Get the tuna tartar crostini, the gnocchi and the churro dessert - heavenly!!
Persis Elavia: Great octopus salad and squid ink spaghetti. Delicious!!
