We love this restaurant! But it looks awful from the street. You have to go down a few steps and enter the restaurant with an ugly front hall almost hidden under a stairway up to a shabby-looking tenement. The interior of the restaurant is inviting once you get in. The wait staff are pleasant and highly competent. The food is unifromly excellent. I love the appetizers, and especially the cauliflower with pine nuts and the Brussels sprouts. The wine list is small but well chosen, and the mark-up is reasonable.
This isn't a place that would entice you to walk in off the street, and it is surrounded by vast food and mediocre (at best) restaurants.Maybe that's why there aren't many tourists. But trust me-- it's a gem. It's near the West Village. If you're looking for good Italian food in this area, go a couple of blocks out of your way and visit this restaurant. You won't be disappoointed.
Lovely surprisingly big restaurant. Romantic and amazing pasta!
But cocktails should be on discounted when buying a main.
Nice atmosphere and good food. The menu had a lot of great items and it was hard to decide what to order. Service was very attentive. We ate out in the back patio area which had a European feel to it. Prices were reasonable but don't expect to have a lot of food left over to take home. Went here based on other urbansppon postings.
