We popped in to Nolita for a pre theatre dinner. The service was excellent our waiter was attentive and very friendly. I had the chicken Alfredo which came as a chicken breast obviously roasted on a bed of al dente tagliatelle with a light sauce, delicious. Himself had the pork schnitzel with a celeriac remolade also delicious. Overall good value, excellent service will definitely be back!
