    We were seated at 4:22pm, there were 4 tables in the restaurant at that time and the server didn’t come over and ask us for drinks until 4:57 (yes, I timed it). We were about to walk out ( clearly waited 30 minutes) when he came over. Drinks came quick, then another 20 minutes before he came came back for appetizers. Food was good, not the best on Arthur Ave, but decent. I counted the sever coming to our table 4x the entire 2 1/2 hour meal, including coming to make sure we were done to drop the check. The quickest I saw him come back was to get the payment. Turned off, won’t be back.

    Had a lovely lunch with family after a visit to NYBG. Service was outstanding. The prosciutto with burratta appetizer was very fresh, and the pasta dishes were delicious. Ample portions too. Family friendly.

    The food, atmosphere, staff, and location were all exceptional for an afternoon family gathering. Every dish was packed with tremendous, authentic flavor, making the experience feel like a true cultural immersion. The setting was warm and welcoming, ideal for families, and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel at home. Every detail came together perfectly, creating an unforgettable celebration.

    This was my favorite restaurant on Arthur Avenue. Cute place with a covered patio out back. The food was so delicious. Joanne was a gem and I’m so glad we got to meet her. Service was also great. We really did feel like part of the family when we left. Can’t wait to return.

    Food was cooked well, but red sauce was way too tart, impacting every dish we ordered. Side pasta was not drained properly, leaving it watery. Service was fine.

    Went for a family lunch and had a nice time. Our server was lovely, attentive and very knowledgable. The food was just fine, in my opinion. I've had better food for the same value in the area. I'm from the Bronx so I've been around! A random note: we thought it was interesting that someone (likely the owner or owner adjacent) walked around and greeted every single table...except ours. Obviously a greeting was not required, but it felt off-putting seeing other tables being warmly welcomed while we were overlooked. Not a big deal, but something to note considering there were at least 8 of us at a table, we were polite, and we ordered plenty. Overall, a good place to dine with lovely servers.
