I had reservations and my party was seated right away. The service was great. Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating but not overbearing. The food was delicious and not overpriced. The drinks were delicious as well. I would definitely recommend and return.

Last-minute Reservations after seeing my goddaughter‘s play, not far away in cobble Hill red Hook area and we want comfort food. We had the truffle Burrata and the calamari and the meatball and the pistachio salad and the eggplant Parmesan all really good as appetizers and then I had the Bolognese, which was really good and yeah, my friends had other things. One had the ravioli. it looked great. I didn’t taste it, but presentation was good and you just had a great ambience. I would recommend 10 out of 10.
