This is one of those very quaint, old restaurants in the the Upper East side of NYC.
We ate prosciutto on toasted baguette, had a shot of Espresso, and an apricot cookie.
The service was friendly. The sandwiches came out fast and were delicious.
Called for a reservation for 7:45PM and arrived 20 minutes early with no issue! They let us sit wherever we wanted and were attentive as soon as we sat.
The food was good, nothing crazy. Big portions and not too greasy. The seasoning itself was different than most Italian restaurants, it tasted like their version of Italian food.
The tap water they give tastes awful, I overheard another person complain about their water tasting weird!
The gelato and the pecan tart for dessert were delicious, a nice topper for a big pasta meal.
Overall can't complain about my experience, atmosphere outside was calm and warm for a Sunday night in the city. Although, it was kinda pricy $$$ considering it wasn't authentic Italian tasting in my opinion, but again, it was still delicious.
Amazing hidden gem lunch spot. If you are walking Central Park definitely come here in the afternoon for lunch. Service was great and the Carbonara and baked lasagna were wonderful.

The food was amazing and the atmosphere and service were top notch! We weren’t able to sit inside without waiting a while so we ended up sitting in their outdoor area. I had worried it would effect our service, but it didn’t at all. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting or living in New York!
Went for dinner, and the pasta was OK. The shrimp and Pasta with cream sauce was on the bland side. . But, the pastries smelled amazing, and it seems to be an amazing lunch place, albeit wicked expensive for spaghetti and marinara sauce (not really kid friendly but hey, live and learn right?) It's also just off central park so I'm sure they gotta pay rent. It wasn't bad, just expected better for $150+ for a family of four.
Love this place, passing many others right after The met. Reasonable price, pleasant hosts.
We’ve had the best experience ever. Best place on earth. The food was amazing and the drinks are really delicious! The owner is so amazing and sweet, was very gentle and patient and kind! The waiters are great and very very nice and polite! The music and the vibe is so amazing! Thanks for the great brunch ever!!!
Delightful spot that sat a hungry young couple on a random fall weekend afternoon. Lunch was great and at a good price.
Little pricey and smaller portion but the food was good.
Great salad and mains, and the tiramisu was perfect.
But the best part was the wannabe actress arguing with a very patient friend about a bad script. Thank you for the drama, Anna!
Very good food and the gelato was amazing! Coming back here soon!
Both the waitstaff and the food are amazing! Very fast service and Natalie was so sweet and helpful. And their tiramisu is the BEST I’ve ever had
Wow— they make a proper latte! I’m impressed! I needed place to enjoy a coffee break between appointments and they were kind enough to seat me (despite a busy dinner crowd). Thoroughly enjoyed and will plan to come back for a proper dinner or lunch.
Really cute, rustic corner cafe styled restaurant with a great menu. Went with their mixed vegetables soup, Cervino sandwich and a delicious cappuccino. I would love to return for some lasagna and tiramisu!
Treated us special on a day we were celebrating. The lattes are high quality. Service was a little lacking because they were busy but that's expected. Spinach lasagna I'm still dreaming about back at home 200 miles away.
Wonderful employees, amazing food. Staff was knowledgeable, personal, and a pleasure to be around. Dinner was delicious and so were the desserts. The manager on duty even brought us some cookies before we left! Highly recommended
This is my absolute go to spot when I’m having a day at Central Park or in Upper East Side. The owners are the absolute best with their warm hospitality with attention to detail, service, and incredibly accommodating . The rustic Italian food is delicious - the truffle tartine is my go-to and I love the spaghetti carbonara. The tiramisu is hands-down, the best I’ve had in the city. Please just don’t tell my Nonna!
