“ Great vodka sauce + got a pitcher of sangria for a very reasonable price. The serving size of the pasta was perfect even though it didn’t seem that large — was quite filling. Would come back again! Only wish that their AC was a bit stronger LOL was sweating inside ”
“ Unpopular opinion: dim lights NEED to go … enough about the ‘vibes’. I actually want to see my food and company!! One more light bulb won’t hurt the ambiance, I promise !! Had a little dinner with some friends in a cozy part of the city <3 we chose this spot because of the rare promise of affordable food in the East Village (unheard of). I’ve already forgotten what I ordered but it was something whole wheat & lots of sauce. I was grateful they had that in their menu. Whole wheat is so underrated !! And. Complimentary stale cold bread .. I’ll take another plate of that , please & thank you :) Service & the waitstaff were a god send. We made a mistake of underestimating the power of a Friday night. So everyone & their aunts were dining here. Fortunately we were able to opt for the 45 minute dine & go action. We were on a time crunch! But everyone was friendly & understanding. A little suspicious that our food came out so fast but no point in thinking about THAT. overall it was a good experience. ”
“ Very cozy, rustic, and comfortable atmosphere. It was easy to have conversations in this restaurant. Not sure who was on aux at the time but they had a killer playlist going. We booked a reservation and they were able to seat our large party of 10. Excellent service. I ordered the shrimp pasta with spaghetti and it got the job done, but next time I would be curious to try something else. Delicious tiramisu. ”
“ Walked-in with no res for Sunday Brunch and was seated right away! Love the staff here. The prices can’t be beat for quality and portions. Thank you! ”
“ Had a wonderful experience here! The good was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was very chill. The pear and gorgonzola ravioli and the pesto caprese panini were both soo good. The prices were also not bad at all, totally worth it for what we were served. Also, the desserts are amazing! We had the cannoli and ricotella and highly recommend them both! ”
