Our waitress was so friendly and have great recommendations. Both the linguine frutti di mare and gnocchi with pesto gorgonzola sauce were phenomenal. The seafood, sourced from the market across the street, was so fresh and bountiful. Time gnocchi were slightly fried which have them an amazing caramelization. Everything was a 10/10 and we had lots of leftovers because the portions are pretty much family size. Accessibility: there are 3 tables outdoors on the sidewalk, all are easy to access but square 4 tops are better. There is a step to enter but a sign saying the restaurant is "wheelchair friendly" on the door so I imagine they have a ramp they can bring out, though I didn't ask. My mom went in and said that there is a large ADA restroom inside

We went to this gem of Italian restaurant yesterday, in Little Italy..right on Arthur Ave. and when…read moreI tell you--we were in a full-blown food coma. Every single dish was absolutely incredible. I've never tasted anything so rich, flavorful, and downright heavenly. And yes, the chef happens to be my husband's uncle--but I promise you, I would say this even if he wasn't. The food was out-of-this-world good. That's how we chose to celebrate my graduation, and it couldn't have been more perfect. I'd been asking to go for a while because I knew how amazing his cooking is--and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I ate so much I could barely move. It was worth every bite. We ate, we laughed. and we just enjoyed every moment. We were there for hours and it didn't even seem like it. Time just g lew. We can't wait to go back.

The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

Would definitely recommend for a date night or a quiet night out with friends.

This spot has become one of those places I genuinely look forward to returning to again and again…read more Every visit feels easy and welcoming the moment you step inside. The team here knows how to make you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing--just warm, attentive hospitality that sets the tone for a great meal. The menu is full of dishes that feel thoughtfully prepared, and everything I've tried has been consistently flavorful. The lamb entrées are outstanding--tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. Their steaks are just as impressive, cooked beautifully and full of rich flavor. It's the kind of food that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere. It strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and elevated, making it ideal for a cozy dinner, a laid-back evening with friends, or even a casual drink at the end of the day. There's a lot of intention in the details--lighting, décor, textures--which creates a space that feels both comfortable and polished without trying too hard. Every time I leave, I'm reminded why this has become a favorite. Great food, genuinely kind service, and an environment that makes you want to stay a little longer. Absolutely a place worth recommending, and one I'm always happy to return to. 5/5.

For the food I ordered the salmon on the bed of vegetables with mashed potatoes, and it did taste good, but the salmon was very bland. I made the most of it, nevertheless.

We didn't really get too much of an "Italian" vibe because a majority of the songs were in Spanish or English but that's neither here nor there. Our server was great however it did take a while for him to get around to us and I sat for about 15 minutes waiting for a Coke until my actual entree came out but that's not worries. I put in a special request on OpenTable for a birthday treat and they brought up a big spread of what he could choose from and he opted for the crème brûlée! We really enjoyed it and that they sang him happy birthday. We ordered stuffed crab mushrooms which were delicious and the lobster ravioli was also super yummy! I ordered the chicken parmigiana and thought it tasted like any other kind, it wasn't bad but it didn't stick out to me. I think the noodles were made al dente because they were a bit too firm for my liking and the sauce tasted like it came from a bottle as opposed to real pasta sauce. My partner gave his food an 9/10, I give mine a 7/10. We did some drinks as well I think I had a rum punch and my partner had a mojito and we both enjoyed our drinks as well, 9/10 for the rum and 10/10 for the mojito.
