What to order: Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe · Grilled Portuguese Octopus (Polipo alla Piastra) · Branzino · Tiramisu Della Casa (or Limon de Sicilia dessert)From Google Maps reviews.
10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for that old school Italian vibe, right in Hells Kitchen 2 blocks from Time Square. The bar team was fantastic and helped guide me through the menu! The Grilled Octopus was smoky and tender. The Cacio E pepe was everything you'd want and then the Dessert was fun and playful. Roberto was a pleasant friendly face even though I sat at the bar! Ill be back to try the Branzino ;) Thanks again!
"Our Server Roberto G was wonderful! We came in before a show and did not feel rushed at all. He waited until we were done with our appetizer to put in our main dishes. He checked in but not too much. We had a bottle of wine, a cocktail, and a separate glass of wine. For food we had one appetizer, a main pasta each and one dessert to share. The appetizer was great! Both pasta dishes were lacking on sauce. My cacio e pepe was a little dry. Maybe needed more salt/cheese flavor. Would not stop me f
My husband and I enjoyed our visit immensely! The host was extremely welcoming and kind, and the service was attentive and perfectly hospitable. We had several encounters with multiple staff members, and each person was wonderful! Roberto, our main waiter, was lovely and made sure our experience was memorable. Our meals were delicious, drinks were crafted to perfection, and dessert was divine. 10/10!
