Sofia PatelSeptember 23, 2014Wonderful little Italian in soho. Tiny, romantic spot - perfect for a casual dinner. Excellent food: squid ink and grilled calamari perfectly cooked. So happy to have stumbled upon this gem!
Vanessa MacedoJune 8, 2015During lunch they have pasta just for $10. And amazing pasta! I ordered one dish with lobster and tomato sauce, it was delicious! You won't regret
- LaDawn Penigar-MitchellFebruary 28, 2017The rice balls aren't memorable but try the buratta as an app and the spinach ravioli is amazing. Smaller space but cozy and intimate!
Karim ShafeiDecember 13, 2014The atmosphere was fantastic. We had the octopus which was very good, a pasta with lamb which was great and a fabulous branzino with grilled vegetables. Also a very nice wine selection.
Alyx HeartcoreSeptember 12, 2013Take a step into Sicily! Small plates or meal for one, this place is authentic as it gets. Mini meatballs, meat lasagna, and don't you dare pass up the eggplant lasagna that melts in your mouth.
Luke Kelly-ClyneJuly 20, 2013Sam 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!
Ya Fen WongAugust 4, 2017Loved the homemade pasta and service. The green tagliatelle with truffle shavings and squid ink pastas were amazing! Would definitely come back to this cute spot 🤗
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantFebruary 12, 2015A bit of a hole in the wall but very good food and lovely service. Recommend: grilled meatballs, swordfish with mozzarella and lamb ragu pasta. Delish!!
Vivian RamirezOctober 10, 2017Came here with a large group (10) it was a bit snug. The food was delicious and the service great. Fun casual spot with well made dishes.
JY GBJanuary 5, 2020Authentic Italian food, and staff is very attentive. Go to the location on the corner. It's a bit cramped, but this contributes in a positive way to the atmosphere.- Maria RiabtchenkoAugust 28, 2016Phenomenal food and vibe! Order the octopus and eggplant starter then follow with the scampi pasta 💃🏻
Juan CanasDecember 9, 2012Awesome hidden jewel in the heart of SOHO!!! Great food! Cozy little place for select food lovers. Try the bruschetta with salmon. Unforgettable tastes!
NesJune 18, 2015Nice italian aperitivo, bruschetta con gorgonzola is tasty, parmiggiana di melanzane is not that good, get some burrata with vegetables aside
flyflyaway ...January 28, 2016Authentic Sicilian cuisine, paired with a glass of red recommended by their awesome waiter. Book in advance, limited tables.
BdiscipulaJuly 13, 2015Hidden gem, practically we loved all dishes from parmagiana to raviolo and simple artichoke. All delicious and a nice cosy place with an attitude
Martina CarusoNovember 19, 2012Small REALLY Italian kitchen. Great salami and cheese appetizer. Try after then polpettine with tomatoes sauce. The will change your life respect meat balls!
Alexandra MaesenMarch 20, 2014Get the parmigiana rivisitata as a starter. ($12) Filling, but full of flavor, so share while enjoying a glass of bubbles!
Travel ChickOctober 4, 2013Lovely authentic food! Nice place, friendly service. Feels like eating at home, although mama is not in the kitchen. We'll be back!
Francis HwangJanuary 26, 2019They do this overblown birthday thing with flashing lights and a song that goes way too long. Happened three times during our dinner. I felt like I was at a Bennigan's. Good restaurant otherwise 😐- Great tiny, Italian (Sicilian) restaurant in the heart of SoHo. Waiters are nice and food is great. Make sure you try cannoli!
Jasmine 💫February 22, 2016Is this the smallest restaurant with fully functioning kitchen in Manhattan? Great staff, despite being seated 1hr late for large group reservation. Tagliatelle did not live up to expectations.
Ms HeleneJanuary 25, 2015Cozy spot run by and for Italians but dishes miss the mark & lack the robust flavors of the ingredients. Creamy burrata wowed but swordfish carpaccio and Branzino underwhelmed. Good for wine & snack.
Vito GialloNovember 23, 2013Ok this is really the best Sicilian (but the real Sicilian) food i have ever had outside of Italy. A must try
Isabel CedeñoJanuary 23, 2016The risotto, the lasagna and the spaghetti with clams were exquisite! Also the cannoli were delicious. I'd go back here again.
Branden BouviaDecember 10, 2013Awesome pastas! Recommend the ravioli & the meatballs. Sauces are superb. Great lunch specials also at only $10
Jon MooreNovember 29, 2018Have eaten at their sister restaurant before and was not disappointed with this one. Great food and wine 🥘 🍷
Vaibhav PJuly 31, 2015Love the quirky way of servicing dishes in a pan. The lunch menu is a really good deal
Daniel RosoneMarch 16, 2015Ask them to play New York New York by Sinatra. A great little Italian place with big flavors
BlondEATSFebruary 18, 2016Incredibly cosy and intimate. Best for dates. You cannot go wrong with any pasta choice.
Adeodato NettoJuly 16, 2012Cozy and charmy Italian restaurant at SoHo! Kind people and fair prices with really good quality food! Worth stopping by! ;)
Mike PApril 14, 2017You can't beat the lunch specials 11$. The pasta is amazing. Lobster linguine perfect.
Erica MarieJanuary 22, 2015Amazing spinach Ravioli and meat sauce! The service was so attentive, great hole in the wall with an authentic Italian feel.
Marc Andre RoyDecember 5, 2013Incredible food: very tasty and generous in terms of portions. Fantastic service. Overall great value!
Sandeep PinnapureddyMarch 21, 2016Get the burrata! Out of this world good. Tiramisu is a must as well.
Mary PefferApril 12, 2013If its your bday ask them to PLAY the happy birthday song. Not what you would expect! Very Chuck E Cheese. You will see what I mean.
Rommy NalonAugust 29, 2013The antipasti misti are excellent!! And if you can speak Italian you get a treat or two ;)
Nichole HortonAugust 13, 2015The tagliatelle with wild boar ragu was delicious. Good ambiance as well!!
Eduardo EzquerroJuly 28, 2011Real italian cuccina, the place is tiny but at the heart of SoHo, highly recommended, try the swordfish with bufala mozzarella- John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018Piccola Cucina by Philip Guardione. New York - Ibiza. Typical Sicilian food. Flavors of Sicily in the world.
Amber McDonaldNovember 18, 2012This place is so delicious and rich! And the staff was pretty well versed in wine.
