PLACE: the place is pretty small, but there is a good amount of tables and chairs to sit at, great date night spot and i love the vibe of how everything is layered as well FOOD: SOUR CREAM + ONION BURRATA W HOUSE OLIVE OIL CIABATTA - probably one of the best burrata i had paired with ciabatta ever HOT MESS SPAGHETTI + MEATBALLS - super good, al dente, and the meatballs were perfectly seasoned + cooked FUSILLI ALLA VODKA - i got this baked with pesto and four cheese, i usually don't like red sauce but everything made it super good.

my mom and i have tried the best italian food in each city we visit, and this one makes our list…read more this quaint ristorante is just a block or two from washington square. there's outside seating and a small amount indoors. the woman with dark hair at the front was very kind in taking our orders and was very helpful. we opted for a simple salsa parmigiano (cacio e pepe) and black pepper (added freshly ground after pictures) with a rigatoni and a pappardelle. they don't lie when they say everything is homemade. none of the pastas are dried or store bought. both were cooked to perfection and were fresh dough. the rigatoni gives a good bite and sticks to the sauce is it was intended for, but the pappardelle was such a better texture and for me, the flavor as well! it was a tough decision! the sauce is warm, cheesy and delicious while the pepper cuts through and makes such a simple dish all the better. thank you for a lovely dinner. we definitely recommend trying them out as it's on our list of favorites!!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but it fills up quickly. I ordered the Rigatoni with pesto, and the fresh pasta was delicious. My friends got the fettuccine bolognese, and it was a great choice! We all enjoyed our meals. If you're looking for authentic, fresh pasta at a reasonable price, I'd suggest checking out this spot.

Went with the lunch special since I was planning on trying a pasta anyway and was eyeing the cookie and salads. So glad I did, the arugula salad was simple but delicious and fresh, helped break up the heavier sandwich and pasta, and the cookie was an excellent dessert! Calabrian fried chicken sandwich - excellent juicy and crispy chicken, with a little slaw and pepperoncini, and a great Rize Up sesame hoagie roll that really holds it together without getting soggy. Not at all spicy so don't be nervous. Agnolotti dal plin - maybe not my favorite pasta but beautifully made, very flavorful in a savory roast sauce. Glad we tried it. They have quite a beverage selection. This time we shared a tasty yuzu beer. Would probably explore their wines next time. Think bottles are half off before 3:30 which is pretty incredible.

Great selection of meats, even got an Italian Coke that tasted divine. The sandwhich portions and the freshness of ingredients will have me coming back for SURE. Solid price, around 30 bucks for a large sandwhich and a couple of drinks and candy's. The candy was delicious as well! You can't go wrong here. Great service as well.
