The atmosphere is good and tiramisu cake here is one of the best tiramisu cakes I have ever had. However, the portion can be considered quite small considering its price and restaurant location. Moreover, their homemade pastas turn out to be somewhat overcook and quite hard to chew. Aside from the pasta itself, I don't have any problem as they use fine ingredients in everything, including the Parmesan cheese which was the toppings. But pasta is the main reason I want to try this restaurant so... :( One of my Italian friend said that she really like this place as they taste "like in Italy", but I find it a little bit disappointing.

Nice, warm Italian flavors, cosy place with few seats, reasonable pricing. We had the meatball spaghetti and the parmigiana, which very quite tasty in combination with the Montepulciano wine. All in all, a nice Italian treat for couples or the whole family.

Love the ambiance and the food is was very good! I wouldn’t recommend the lasagna as it was quite dry. But the Gnocchis (not pictured) were delightful. The bruschetta was out of this world. The ambiance was delightful, almost as if we stepped in a cafe in Italy. The service was perfect and extremely polite and fun! Will totally come back! Loved the place!

One of my favorite meals I had while visiting NYC. I got the lunch special which included an appetizer and pasta dish for $17. The eggplant parmesan appetizer was so delicious and then my pasta dish arrived and was even better. I got the penne arrabbiata. The portion was large but I almost finished it all because it was so tasty! The restaurant is tiny but there is outdoor seating available. If you're in the central park area, I would give it a try! Great waitstaff also!

Food is nice but staff are not attentive. It was a bit frustrating. Wine selection was good.

Superb location, great service, good wine, somewhere between okayish and “hmm” kind of pasta taste.

We were excited to try this place because it has good reviews and a nice ambiance. I was disappointed with the service because they continuously rushed us out, 45 mins before it closed. Overall the food was good but hard to overlook the poor service.
