ambience with musicians and outdoor seating. Food was average (bread a little stale, tuna tartare too much sauce, my sausage pasta special didn’t look very appetizing and made me feel sick at night). The oddest part was the service - we had three people come and take our drink order and it took to the third one to even get out tap water filled, two servers were “sharing” our table but didn’t communicate with one another - they kept coming to ask same questions, both brought dessert menus. At the end of the night, one took our credit card and then the other came to get it…the second woman looked all worried and confused asking who took it, then went over to the hostess stand and asked someone else… then finally she ran into the server that took it, he said he didn’t have it, then he said he did and opened the check book and our card wasn’t in it, walked back into the restaurant and then three minutes later a NEW person came over kind of laughing saying we found your credit card. No one, not even any of the original servers or a manager, came over to apologize. We purposefully waited a bit to see. So now were are really hoping that someone didn’t steal the information.

Instead of full shrimp, the meal came with the shrimp cut into barely bite sized pieces. Odd choice to prepare an expensive meal. My wife had the Pasta Amatriciana.

Add in I’m a vegetarian and many times I’m disappointed with the menu and the actual vegetarian choices on it; some restaurants even give me attitude or visually become annoyed when I ask if they can make things vegetarian.\n\nThis place not only had unique vegetarian options, but our server smiled when I asked if the choices were in fact vegetarian. It was clear I was not the first one there to ask this question and it was also clear that they are trying their best to cater to my kind.\n\nThe rice balls were amazing and so were the stuffed zucchini flowers. I then had the zucchini flower risotto for my main meal. At first, I was a little disappointed because I assumed there would be pieces of zucchini flour in the risotto but instead it was risotto with cooked zucchini and one of the stuffed zucchinis that I had just had for appetizer on top. I chopped it up within, mixed it all around, and it was quite delectable. It just wasn’t what I was expecting. \n\nMy husband ended up getting the shrimp in the spicy vodka sauce and ate every last bite. He said it wasn’t TOO spicy. He never eats every last bite! \n\nTo finish off, we had the special vanilla bean ice cream with the balsamic reduction. It was to die for.\n\nNow the seating is very tight and if you’re in a two seater on one side with the booth, you’re basically sitting 2 feet from the people on your left and right. If you’re a bit larger, it’s almost impossible to stand up and fit through the little area to get out of the area. It was also quite loud because of the high volume of people in such close quarters. We did have to wait a while for our server to get us our ice cream which seemed ironic since you don’t really have to cook it. We made sure to give our card when she brought the bill. This was 5:45 on a Saturday. I’m not sure what it’s like at other times. \n\nOverall, we left very happy, and you will too.","rating":{"food":4,"service":3,"ambience":2,"value":3,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":1,"nickname":"Robert","metro":{"metroId":8,"displayName":"Nueva York","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"R","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-18T14:18:44Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-17T17:45:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-99808-2109871915-140038221984","text":"Everything was very slow and haphazard.

The menu carries a variety of amazing selections, however, I wish the restaurant had more gluten-free pasta options (I suggest egg-less rigatoni, penne, etc), especially for vegan/vegetarians. I am a vegetarian/pescatarian who does not consume eggs and I was advised that all types of pastas at this restaurant are made with eggs.
The ambiance is lovely and I like that it transitions to a night club afterwards!

I’m one of those snobby Italians who find it very hard to find amazing Italian food that I can’t make myself. Add in I’m a vegetarian and many times I’m disappointed with the menu and the actual vegetarian choices on it; some restaurants even give me attitude or visually become annoyed when I ask if they can make things vegetarian.
This place not only had unique vegetarian options, but our server smiled when I asked if the choices were in fact vegetarian. It was clear I was not the first one there to ask this question and it was also clear that they are trying their best to cater to my kind.
The rice balls were amazing and so were the stuffed zucchini flowers. I then had the zucchini flower risotto for my main meal. At first, I was a little disappointed because I assumed there would be pieces of zucchini flour in the risotto but instead it was risotto with cooked zucchini and one of the stuffed zucchinis that I had just had for appetizer on top. I chopped it up within, mixed it all around, and it was quite delectable. It just wasn’t what I was expecting.
My husband ended up getting the shrimp in the spicy vodka sauce and ate every last bite. He said it wasn’t TOO spicy. He never eats every last bite!
To finish off, we had the special vanilla bean ice cream with the balsamic reduction. It was to die for.
Now the seating is very tight and if you’re in a two seater on one side with the booth, you’re basically sitting 2 feet from the people on your left and right. If you’re a bit larger, it’s almost impossible to stand up and fit through the little area to get out of the area. It was also quite loud because of the high volume of people in such close quarters. We did have to wait a while for our server to get us our ice cream which seemed ironic since you don’t really have to cook it. We made sure to give our card when she brought the bill. This was 5:45 on a Saturday. I’m not sure what it’s like at other times.
Overall, we left very happy, and you will too.

Everything was very slow and haphazard. It took us forever to simply get a wine order in. Understaffed — uncomfortably so. The timing of the food was a mess, and the quality of the food didn’t make up for the headaches or the wait. One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. Utter disappointment.
