   I have dined here about 15 times and have never had such abhorrent and rude treatment from a host. The girl at the front with the trashy butterfly tattoo on her back was extremely rude to my mother and I when I approached and checked in for my reservation. Honestly kinda shocking for even a mid-lower end restaurant like this. I'd expect better service at McDonalds.

   Es el mejor restaurante italiano de little Italy! La variedad de comida es muy buena y su ambiente también. Tienen que probar las lamb lolypops! Son las mejores!

   Tables available with my reservation and I had to wait, food was good, but don't know why they had me waiting for 15 minutes

   What a fabulous business lunch. We had the garlic bread (best in town by far), squash blossoms (also best in town), gnocchi (to die for) and a special, off the menu chicken item. We shared everything. Service was attentive and perfect. I will keep bringing friends, family and business associates to my favorite spot in Little Italy.

   The Ambiance and food were wonderful as usual. Diego was our waiter and he did an excellent job. This is a must-go restaurant.
