Food and service were very good. Nothing was spectacular, but all of the dishes were solid. If you’re in the mood for some good Italian, give this place a shot.

We sat outside which, in the area, necessitates experiencing the homeless situation. The calamari appetizer was outstanding. I found the marinara to be slightly bland. I had the linguini bonamare. Husband had the sea bass dish which was delicious, but felt the clams and mussels were overdone.

Yummy Italian food in the heart of Little Italy. Buratta was fabulous, along with the salad of endive, cabbage and raddichio. I have had better pasta, but still delicious coupled with a few glasses of red wine.

The food was amazing! They provided fresh baked bread with a fresh tomato sauce that had fresh garlic and basil. We stared with ricotta stuff cheese balls that I recommend as an appetizer. We ordered the handmade ravioli with lobster in a delicious cream sauce. We also ordered the NY steak that was cooked to perfection. I recommend everything we ordered.

I went for lunch with family and we ordered several pasta dishes which were all prepared well. The servers were attentive and helpful. It’s a nice spot to do lunch if you are in the mood for Italian food and in the area.
