A really great spot we stumbled upon! The fried calamari and zucchini was great, the basket was filled to the brim! I loved my pasta and fresh bread. I had the spicy sausage pappardelle which wasn’t very spicy to me but still very fresh and tasty! My partner had the chicken parm which was also great. Our server was extremely attentive and kind. Definitely will be saving this place! Very cute inside.

Highly recommend to ask for the seating in the back room, it was gorgeous. We reserved a table for 7 (can't select more), and they were happy to add another table to accommodate 2 more. The back room is beautiful, although the acoustic is not great. We had another group seated close by and it sounded like they were shouting. The food was also great, all the kids found something to eat, and enjoyed the desserts as well. The main downside: The service was not great. We waited a long time for our waiter, who didn't check if we needed anything after we ordered, and it was impossible to get his attention even when he came to a nearby table. Also waited for a long time to get the check, and then to pay it. If you are not in a rush, and have patience, I recommend it.

Found this gem by a recommendation on tik tok and wanted to try it out! Turns out it happened to be probably the best pasta I've ever had in the city. To start, my 2 friends and i split a caesar salad, and we had the fried calamari & zucchini and that was delicious and wasn't so much to fill us before dinner. Then for the entree as seen in the picture, I ordered the fettuccine with the sausage & added mushroom to it and it tasted perfect. The atmosphere was very cozy and dim and the staff were right there if you needed something you can just call them over, they were very nice and attentive! I will definitely be coming back here!☺️

My adventures in Chelsea took me here, after reading reviews I decided to come check them out. I absolutely loved my experience. Good customer service, the food was amazing, and the ambience was cozy. I settled in as a party of 1 by the front window and got to people watch as well. I would definitely recommend this hidden gem!

Go! Stopped in before a show at The Joyce on an extremely busy Saturday night. No reservation, luckily got a seat right away. So...man the Lasagna! I didn't want to be boring, but I'm a Garfield. It was really good. Especially the toasted layer on top. Tomato sauce could use more flavor, something, more garlic? I was skeptical about the Nutella tiramasu, but it was delicious!!! Just had a limonata to drink and that was refreshing after walking down from Hell's Kitchen. What a totally cool and beautiful restaurant with a hardworking quick efficient staff!!!!! Thanks!

I got pasta of the day and the pasta was hard. Shouldn’t it be fresh and soft? Indoor outdoor seating was cute. The atmosphere is cute for a date or hang out but the food is just mid. Small portions.

NOT A GREAT PLACE TO DINE FOR TWO! I rarely review restaurants unless I truly have something of value to add. I made sure to make a reservation for my daughter and I to get a decent table as opposed to walk ins. That said, when we got there, they sat us directly at a shared table with the ONLY other couple eating in the front of the restaurant. There were MANY open tables so I kindly asked if we can have one. That said, they complied but then 5 minutes later sat the very next couple that came in, at our table, again leaving all other tables open. I totally understand there are sometimes reservations, and the need to leave room for 4 bank needs, but I watched throughout my entire dinner and not a single person was seated at any of those tables. The 2 front window tables also sat empty. The tables are so close together as it is, but to then have to share the table with another couple wishing to talk and enjoy their meal was frustrating to say the least. Very poor management of the "customer experience" especially on a slow, cold, mid-week night. The Italian food was good but I live in the neighborhood and frankly have had much better with much larger portions. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the experience more if I was treated better. It was extremely hard to get a check too even though it was on the quiter side. NOTE - Either go as a group of 4 or more, or avoid all together especially if you are just 2 people.

Great place to grab dinner with friends - lively atmosphere. Special seafood pasta w/ half lobster, calamari, and mussels was good and definitely worth the price. However, the branzino tasted a bit strange and was too salty. I would go with the pastas here.
