Hands down my favorite casual dinner spot in lower Manhattan.
I’ll start with food: if you’re a pasta-lover, this is one of the places left in Nolita that uses fresh, homemade pasta. And trust me, it makes a difference. I’ve tried most of their dishes to date and I always come back for the Vodka sauce dish. The only thing the menu is missing for me is something white or seafood-based. But you’ll certainly never be bored because they come out with monthly menu items that collaborate with female entrepreneurs and chefs (yaas!!) and they’re always delightful. Also great is the value of all this amazing food for under $15-20.
Next, the people and vibes: One of the main reasons I keep coming back is the high level of customer service from the staff. They’re super friendly, always willing to recommend, and fast. Travis is a GEM! Always asking how he can make it the most accommodating and rounding it out to feel 5-stars.
