One of my favorite places in the west village. Old school Italian. Sinatra, good food, gregarious staff, wonderful owner. Just a great experience every time!

Such a great restaurant! The owner, Frank, is so welcoming and kind. He cares about his customers and wants everyone to have a pleasant experience. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

OMG - That is all we can say if this little West Village Treasure. The Sunday Special is pasta on crack. The Lemon Tilapia is delicious, buttery and to die for! R:-) try Muscles Fra Diavolo!

Great food, huge potions and friend staff. As a bonus you get to read the latest scores in the men's room.. Classic!

A great Italian restaurant, with a charming and nostalgic décor, that’s perfect for a fun dinner with a group of friends. Try the Lasagna Bolognese or the Pumpkin Ravioli.

Terrific Pizzas and pasta. Feels like old school NY. Sinatra is always on, staff always friendly and Frankie the owner will make time for you.

Definitely try the gorgonzola gnocchi, penne vodka and of course, a brick oven pizza.

The chicken parm is not good. The tomato sauce is very thin, not flavorful.
RaymondJuly 8, 2014
Disappointing returning here after a few years. Food was not as good as it used to be. Won't go back.
Chris Du4April 22, 2012
Nice people but terribly forgetful & inattentive to anyone who's not a local or a celeb. Avoid the oysters at all costs.
Kevin G.January 6, 2013
Drinks are fine, but don't eat the food.
