“Always consistent & tasty. It’s slightly off the beaten path of the St.Marks madness which I appreciate. Have been coming here for years even before moving to NYC. Staff is great, food is delish and so are the drinks and wine selection.”
“Perfect neighborhood spot. The portions are right on the nose for being able to enjoy a couple dishes. We had octopus, fini, pizza. Each thing was better than the last.”
“Came here cus friend loves this place and said the pasta is amazing.. And he's right about the pasta! The rigatoni is perfect al dente and the sauce is delicious (I got it without sausage). Definitely want to return for more pasta!”
