    Funghi pasta
    Jaclyn C.

    When my husband said he booked us a place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary all by himself by simply asking Google what the best Italian restaurant in all of Staten Island, I was pretty impressed, shocked and slightly suspicious all at the same time. The pictures looked delicious enough to lick my phone, and the menu had all the great staples you'd want in a celebratory dinner. I was pleased and excited for our dinner. We made early reservations (5PM) this past Saturday, and got to have a comfy, sun-drenched seat by the window over looking their outdoor seating patio that probably gets mobbed come the summer months. We started with a prosecco for me and hubby got a rum and coke. When Dan our waiter brought out caponatina with onion and lightly sauced foccacia bread, I knew we were in for a real treat. We fought over the bread and I was awed by how great the eggplant dish tasted. So far, so damn good. Their specials of the night were one more tempting than the next, but I ended up with the funghi pappardelle pasta while my husband can't give up his penne alla vodka with grilled chicken on top. I too was tempted to switch last minute to the veal marasala, but my fat cells were called to the carbs. We wanted the baked clams to start (8 shells) and it was the best decision we made to start off the night. These were the BEST baked clams I've had in a REALLY long time. Hubby was sopping up the lemon and breadcrumb sauce like he was heading for the electric chair. I knew better that I had to pace myself. If my husband's vodka dish was a 10/10, mine was a 12/10; no far exaggeration. Pasta cooked to al dente and the notion the pasta wasn't drowning in the sauce was a tall-tale sign, they were confident in their freshly made pasta and their sauce. On my first bite, I already had texted 3 people that I was dragging them here to try this place. The vibe was classic, but not stuffy, and very clean and inviting. Upscale Manhattan-feeling without burning a hole in your wallet. Dan was so wonderful and checked on us throughout our meal and even gave us Italian cheesecake to share on the house to end our meal with a literal cherry on top. We both felt super special and catered to. The finest in Italian comfort food. We'll be back several times before the year's over.

    Short Rib Entree
    Yelena S.

    Words cannot describe how delicious the food is. Last night would have been my family's second time dining at this gem. From start to finish, the staff made us feel welcome and eager to make us have a wonderful evening. My picky eaters finished their plate of food, and bonus points for having my husband's favorite whiskey. Some favorite appetizers that I can recommend are the Octopus, Mussels, Burrata (a special), Crab Cakes (a special), and the Scallops ( a special). Some recommendations for entrees are my favorite, the Funghi, the Ragu pasta dish, the Chicken Capricciosa, the Filet of Sole, the Pork Chop, and the Short Rib. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy. It tops all the Italian restaurants I have tried by far, anywhere.

    Stuffed filet of sole scampi

    The place is small and gorgeous. Dan was our waiter and his service was exceptional. My friend had chicken francaise and I ordered the stuffed filet of sole but with scampi sauce instead of lemon butter caper sauce. WOW SO DELICIOUS!! We each had a glass of white wine and the pour was quite generous. Small menu and next time I'm coming back for the short rib!!

    Sole, Ragu, Cabernet

    Stopped by on a quiet Tuesday evening, virtually had the place to ourselves. Ambiance was nice, but music was a touch loud. Service was prompt and polite. We ordered: -Calamari -Cesar salad -Ragu -Sole All the food was good, but the sole was absolutely delicious, far above the rest. I wished I lived here so I could eat it all the time. The house Cabernet was also surprisingly delicious.

    This place was absolutely amazing!! From start to finish the service was super attentive and personable which made me feel at home. The food truly blew me away !! The pasta was sooo fresh and packed a lot of flavor I basically licked the bowl clean !!! Not to mention the octopus was sooooo tender it melted in my mouth. To make a great night even better their selection of liquor and wines was extensive and truly top tier it shows how much love and thought they put into their menu. We absolutely will be coming back to eat again and again we highly recommend it.
