Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Good for business meals

This family-owned gem, nestled in the heart of Murray Hill, has been serving delicious food since 1981. There is a warm Mediterranean feeling to the setting; a perfect showcase for the exceptional Italian & Croatian food that is served.

The menu features many homemade pastas, classics, and Croatian delicacies, such as seafood Buzara (traditional Dalmatian stew with sea bass, shrimp and clams) and Pasticada (traditional meat with gnocchi). Seasonal items are also available throughout the year, such as soft shell crabs and lager-infused roast pork. Also featured is the Osso Buco, braised veal shank over rice or gnocchi, Vitelli alla Griglia, a signature dish showcasing the broiled king veal chop, and the Pollo Berulia, a chef's special of chicken sautéed in white wine with wild mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are also available. The extensive wine list features an array of Italian and Croatian wines.

From start to finish, the entire experience was memorable in a number of ways. From the baked clams appetizer to the tiramisu for dessert, both the food, and level of service was something that is a rarity to find nowadays. The staff was highly attentive, and ensured that our drinks were always full, as well as a complimentary after dinner drink which merely topped off an already amazing meal. 5/5 Would recommend and will be here again.

This was a holiday dinner with co workers. We were seated immediately when we arrived for our reservation. This is a cozy restaurant with stuccoed arches and elegant Christmas decorations. Our waiter John was outstanding and was engaging and made good recommendations. Everyone enjoyed their food and cocktails. The only thing I could criticize was the bread brought to the table was lackluster. Regular Italian bread cold as was the butter. A warm crusty bread would have been nice. Overall great restaurant and experience.

An exceptional Italian dining experience. The mushroom ravioli was tender and flavorful, while the penne with eggplant and red sauce was hearty and well-seasoned. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and attentive service—highly recommend!
