    We chose this restaurant because it was close to radio City, music Hall and our hotel. I'm so glad we did because it was absolutely perfect. We had a reservation which you definitely need to make. The guacamole was so unbelievably delicious. I could have just eaten that alone. The vibe in there was so fun and upbeat. My birthday is in March and my friends let the wait staff know and they came over with this sparkler candle ringing a bell. They put this fun neon sign on your table and a hat and it's just a very fun touch. They also had a professional photographer. It was a Saturday and they gave us a complimentary card with our picture on it and we had the option of buying a few pictures which we ended up buying five of them. Just overall was a really good experience

    This place never disappoints! We’ve brought an enormous variety of folks here over the years, and everyone loves it. We have our favorites, but the menu has enough options to satisfy many tastes. Cannelloni & gambas ajillo are the best, and staff is attentive without hovering.
