   What a lovely setting. Beautiful space, tables not cramped, like most NYC restaurants. Moderate noise level. Terrific service. We had a lag between the appetizers and entrees, but otherwise our dinner proceeded smoothly. The food was flavorful, especially the blue crab linguine. More variety is needed with the appetizers (a lower price point could help, too). Excellent desserts. Glad to have a new "go-to" restaurant on the Upper West Side, and we've enthusiastically recommended SO to friends and family.

   The additions to the menu are great! We tried the fried artichokes and the asparagus salad and they were delicious. It’s hard not to fill up on the appetizers( we always get the focaccia and prosciutto). Last night I had the pasta with blue crab….very good. My husband always gets the veal and loves it. The staff make us feel welcome and treat us like family. We will be back soon!

   Back room was extremely noisy (2 parties). Request a table in the front of the restaurant if you want to communicate with your dinner companions.

   We have heard great things about this restaurant and went for the first time. What a pleasant surprise! The food was delicious, and the ambiance was wonderful…felt more spacious and private than many NYC restaurants. The best part was Connor…what a delight it was to have him take care of us. All around a terrific evening

   The brunch special was way cheaper than I expected to be honest and the quality of food was through the roof. The focaccia was some of the best I've ever had. Same with the Amatriciana sauce with the eggs. The staff was incredibly hospitable. Will definitely be back.

   This was out 2nd time and our friends 5th time dining there and we were all a bit disappointed. On the positive side, the Caesar salads and halibut were very tasty. The pasta dishes were good but not special and the tuna crudo was disappointing. The wine pours were embarrassing small, the noise level was quite high, which while somewhat expected on a Sat night, could be mitigated with table cloths. Thus, none of us are looking to rush back.

    I booked a table for one as I like to come to the city for dinner and to see the ballet on my own. I had a reservation at 5:00 and they were hardly busy when I arrived. I sat at my table for 15 min before I asked the busser to send my server to the table. The dining room was practically empty but no one came to take my drink order or to tell me about the menu. When someone finally came I placed my order for the entire meal other than dessert. Two other times I had to ask the busser or another server to send a server to the table. I was never offered another drink and kindly the busser recognized I was finished my glass in wine and he offered to get me another. I had two different servers come to my table. I wasn’t sure which one was actually assigned to my table. I understand that single diners are less money that a two top but it is unacceptable to accept a reservation for a single diner and then completely ignore them as they won’t generate the same tip as a two top. I ordered 1 cocktail 2 glasses of wine an app a pasta and dessert. The food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is beautiful but the service was abominable. I have dined in several UWS restaurants as a solo diner and this was the first time I had experienced such blatantly dismissive service. At the end of the meal I paid the obligatory 20% tip to my sever whoever it was but also handed the busser a cash tip as he was the only one who looked after me. Seriously when I arrived there were only a handful of diners in the restaurant and the staff was all milling about including the manager. I sat for over fifteen minutes and had to ask for a server. It was embarrassing and if it wasn’t for the reviews of the pasta I would have left.
