I'll start off with the positives: - My girlfriend's spicy…read moreblood orange margarita was a very generous serving, so the cocktails seem to be strong relative to their prices. - My cherry pepper garlic PEI mussels (a special) were great. Very well-seasoned, tasty and a generous portion. Negatives: - The layout of this restaurant is atrocious. Hardly any arm or leg room; you're basically eating right on top of everyone else around you and there's zero room for the servers to even move around. I was bumped in the shoulder by servers walking by like 5 times and I had my chair basically completely up against the table. - The service is miserable. Servers who seem miserable and don't care to be there, can't even be polite or exchange a pleasantry like "How are you?" Just immediately and bluntly asked upon first arrival to the table, "Know what you want yet?" - Our entrees were terrible. The appetizers were amazing, but my steak was extremely overcooked (came out medium well, almost well-done when I ordered medium rare) and my girlfriend's penne vodka was extremely oily, salty and generally unpleasant to eat.

We ordered delivery and the pizza that arrived was not at all like the picture or the description on the online menu. We did order a Bianca pizza which I know is typically without marinara. However, my 15 year old didn't know that and ordered one of their Bianca pizzas that was described as having Parmesan, ricotta, marinara AND meat sauce and showed a picture that obviously had sauce on it. It arrived as a typical Bianca pizza. I tried emailing, it bounced back. Today I was nearby so I stopped in to explain the situation thinking it would be easy to resolve. Despite me showing the man behind the counter their menu they were unwilling to rectify the situation. First he blamed the marketing company they use. I explained I've used marketing firms and it is my job to read over the work and make sure it is accurate. He then called the owner where their solution was to give me another pizza but only then and there. I explained we had dinner plans for tonight and asked if I could get a partial credit or a gift card to use the next time we order. But I was told they could not. In fact, the guy behind the counter actually said "well now you know it's wrong" "it" meaning their menu. I was not expecting such terrible customer service over such a small thing. I hate writing negative reviews and rarely do so, but I feel this was the wrong way for any small business to operate.

They passed apps - burrata with tomatoes was good, giant cocktail shrimp was good (though the cocktail sauce swath they put on for you and it was not enough), the crabcakes were just so-so (sitting with a Boston couple, so they clearly knew crabcakes), cut up lobster, quartered giant bay scallops with a wonderful dipping sauce (wasn't on the main menu), and lamb chops cooked well and tender. The beet salad had a lot of arugula and other greens, less beet than I would have liked. The main pastas to start - truffle cream and vodka - both good, though I've had better as one was slightly cold by the time it came to our table for serving. The dover sole was prepared very well, good size and bones cleanly removed, almost full at that point. Dessert cake was good (they did the song for the birthday and sparklers might've been Scott's idea, not the restaurants), and passed Italian cookies both regular and gluten free were average. Overall very solid food and wine service, water service was somewhat absent between courses, and very useful space for groups. They allowed the party to bring in a piano & player, and accommodated other requests from the birthday organizer, I'm sure!

We went in to check it out as I'm a sucker for a good authentic deli (Italian, Jewish, you name it) and it didn't disappoint. I believe it was the owner and another employee working and they could not have been more friendly. Immediately giving us free samples of the mozzarella that they make fresh daily which was DELICIOUS. We got some frozen lobster ravioli and sauce to go and the owner was nice enough to prep and bag of ice and package it for us as we weren't going to be back home for a few hours. Made it last night and it was so good. Our standards are high as we live in arguably the best food city in the world. This spot was epic and I wish we had one more accessibly in the city. Also lol @ the guy pissed about the ambiance. What are you expecting? This place is authentic and I'm happy to see a traditional Italian deli staying true to its roots.

I will be back this is an establishment with over 25 years of experience. Great sauce/gravy tastes like San Marzano tomatoes but not sure. Sausage and peppers pizza uses the best sausage. Bolognese sauce is on point. They seem to understand their customers and use high quality ingredients. People don't mind paying a little bit more for that kind of product. In my opinion this is the go to Italian Restaurant in Greenwich. Not too far a walk from Greenwich Avenue or the train station.

We ordered a charcuterie board, and we were dismayed to see such components like: -pepperoni from a plastic bag -canned, sliced black olives -artichokes in brine, not marinated -flaked Parmesan, for topping, not for grazing -sliced cherry tomatoes -vinegar peppers that clearly came out of a jar It was quite obvious these were pizza toppings reconstituted into something claiming to be a charcuterie board. Very low effort. I also suspected that the arancini were frozen and deep fried. The penne vodka was edible, but did not taste anything like alla vodka. Very heavy bacon flavor, which isn't necessarily bad thing but was disarming in this case. Veal parmigiana? Gamey. Never heard of gamey veal before, and the sauce was watery. Fish was dry. Broccoli rabe and potatoes were good. I'm not sure if we caught them on a bad night, but this was a major miss. Do better. I mean this as constructive criticism, genuinely.
