Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Lower East Side

Made anniversary dinner reservations weeks in advance. We were promptly seated despite arriving 20 minutes early. Very extensive beverage list including some delicious Italian beers. The roasted beets and octopus salad starters were delicious. Our entrees, the candele Genovese and the Lobster pasta with substituted homemade GF fettuccine were both excellent. Service was quick and attentive despite the considerable Sunday evening dinner crowd. A Torta Caprese, espresso, and an unexpected on the house shot of Lemoncello for each of us for our special occasion was a wonderful way to end a very memorable dinner. We cannot wait to go back!

Love the staff and ambiance! We had only been here once before as walk ins and one of the bartenders remembered that we had been there before! Our first visit was months ago. Just felt very welcomed and at home. I think me and my fiancé have found a new go to in the area

Came for a restaurant week, food had an average flavour profile very heavy on carbs and fats. Gnocchi and arancini were basically in the same sauce. Bread pudding was not to my liking - too soggy and bland.

Had never been to this location and it’s small and intimate. The food is always delish. We met friends from out of town on a Sunday night and it was quiet there and we stayed for over 3 hours and the staff was more than kind to us. Always reliable and always tasty.

A Charming place. Great Vibe. A cozy neighborhood gem serving great food in a nostalgic atmosphere. A limited menu, but everything is prepared, cooked and presented perfectly. A great date spot. Perfect for a great unpretentious dinner with friends.
