    Intimate, cozy vibe…super nice staff…incredible food and very fun menu of either choose-your-own homemade pasta to match with a wide variety of delicious sounding sauces or entrees to choose right from the menu. We’ll definitely come back!!

    We loved it so much that we went twice during our short stay in NYC. The fennel salad is refreshing and delicious. It is a salad I will make every attempt to replicate in my own kitchen. The pasta is made in house and the wood fire oven made for a perfectly thin and crispy flatbread. The restaurant is cozy and warm and the service just as warm and comforting. I really can’t recommend it enough. Enjoy!

    The food was pretty mediocre at best from the salad to the appetizer to the pasta. I would definitely not recommend this to any of my friends.
