"A newer UES spot, this quiet little restaurant has an upbeat Italian pop playlist and a relatively short menu, which includes very fresh salads, pastas and heartier dishes, like veal garnished with thyme and roasted carrots. The house pasta is a satisfyingly chewy cacao nib cavatelli with braised beef and Tuscan wine, but they have more traditional options as well. It’s an easy choice in the neighborhood for coffee and a light bite, or a low-key dinner." - Willa Moore, Sonal Shah, Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus
