We had an amazing dinner at this Italian restaurant in New York! Every single dish was delicious from start to finish. The appetizers alone were unforgettable. The mussels in white sauce were absolutely divine, and the broth was so flavorful it was honestly the kind of sauce you want to sip with a spoon (we saved some to dip our bread 🫣). The fried mozzarella was also a standout with the best cheese pull, perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey inside. Everything that followed was just as de
Celebrated Valentine’s day here with my partner and we had such a nice experience. Service was great and the ambiance was perfect for a date night or just a nice dinner! Highly recommend the meatballs, they are to die for. The tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. Seating was close as it is not a large space, but it did not cause problems and it wasn’t hard to hear or have a conversation. Highly recommend!
20/20 First, Lu, was beyond amazing, from the moment she greeted us, to the moment we left. She is awesome. Second, the food, mama mia delicious. The meatballs, live up to their hype. I judge a restaurant by their Tiramisu, and boy oh boy, it did not disappoint. “Melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece.” Keep up the amazing work. See you soon
