Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was fantastic, especially the gluten free options and I highly recommend the table side gf tiramisu. The staff were all so nice and so knowledgeable. It was an all around great experience and we’re definitely going back!

Delicious food , friendly and attentive service. I enjoyed a special consisting of chicken stuffed with prosciutto and other delightful ingredients, and my guest enjoyed lasagna. We both enjoyed a special dessert of apple crumb with vanilla ice cream. Outstanding meal!

So glad this restaurant reopened and we finally had a chance to visit again. (Last time was pre-Covid.) Food was so good, good value, plus more relaxed, than Il Gattopardo, it’s “sister” restaurant nearby - also an excellent experience. We had lots of time to talk, did not feel rushed, the service was exceptional. Our friend remarked on how nice it was that the tables were not too close together. We look forward to returning.

The restaurant is a small local place with very good food and great service. It suffers from the NY syndrome of scaffolding outside currently, but that helped forestall the possibility of rain spoiling our outdoor seating. The waitstaff was attentive & accommodating. We enjoyed our food greatly and thought it well made & tasty. My seafood pasta was excellent. Recommended if in the area of Harlem. It is a bit noisy, but not so much as to detract from the overall experience. Now if it had only stocked the NA Peroni...
