    We loved it so much that we went twice during our short stay in NYC. The fennel salad is refreshing and delicious. It is a salad I will make every attempt to replicate in my own kitchen. The pasta is made in house and the wood fire oven made for a perfectly thin and crispy flatbread. The restaurant is cozy and warm and the service just as warm and comforting. I really can’t recommend it enough. Enjoy!

    The food was pretty mediocre at best from the salad to the appetizer to the pasta. I would definitely not recommend this to any of my friends.

    I looked for a place that was affordable with still good ratings and I found it but it was way more than I expected. The handmade noodles, sauce and bread were exquisite. Top noch. It was busy but that’s always a good sign in NYC. We were 45min early for our reservation and we were able to get in sooner. They are very accommodating and kind. Highly recommend! Will be going back for more!

    We were at the restaurant at about 4:30. It was surprisingly crowded., but we thought it was because it was small. The food was good, service was excellent. Our group had salads, flatbread pizza, and pasta dishes, all were good.
