Way too loud inside, so we moved outside. We were gladly accommodated. Seating is comfortable enough.\n\nOrdered Rock Shrimp in Vodka sauce served over fettuccine. The fettuccine was prepared al dente (perfect texture). The flavor was good (not great, a bit bland). What was disappointing though, was the shrimp itself. 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. Again, the pasta was prepared perfectly. Not too spicy, just enough bite to let you know what you were eating.\n\nThe service was exemplary.

El servicio estuvo regular, nos atendió un señor con supuesto acento italiano y cola de caballo, un poco distraido ya que cuando nos trajo el primer apetizer le pedimos pan y se le olvido, al final de la cena pedimos la carta de postre y nos la dejo en la mesa y se fue a conversar con otras personas a otra mesa Como por mas de 25min hasta que me pedimos a otro mesero que nos trajera la cuenta.. En general estuvo bastante bien, solo tienen q prestar más atención al servicio.. No venden alcohol 😥😥😥I went with my wife to our anniversary dinner, the place was not very busy when we arrived and we were placed at a table near the cash register a bit uncomfortable, after 15min we asked to be moved to another more comfortable .. The service was average, We attended a gentleman with a supposed Italian accent and ponytail, a bit distracted since when he brought us the first apetizer we asked for bread and he forgot, at the end of the dinner we ordered the dessert menu and left it at the table and Went to talk with other people to another table As for more than 25 minutes until I asked another waiter to bring the bill .. Overall was pretty good, they just have to pay more attention to service .. Do not sell alcohol 😥😥","rating":{"food":4,"service":3,"ambience":4,"value":4,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":2,"nickname":null,"metro":{"metroId":8,"displayName":"Nueva York","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"OT","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"ICECREAM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2017-01-05T04:11:56Z","dinedDateTime":"2016-12-30T21:00:00-05:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-99808-2109872222-100002603940","text":"Beautiful restaurant.

Fui con mi esposa a nuestra cena de aniversario, el lugar no estaba muy lleno cuando llegamos y nos ubicaron en una mesa cerca de la registradora un poco incómoda, después de 15min pedimos q nos cambiarán a otra mas comoda.. El servicio estuvo regular, nos atendió un señor con supuesto acento italiano y cola de caballo, un poco distraido ya que cuando nos trajo el primer apetizer le pedimos pan y se le olvido, al final de la cena pedimos la carta de postre y nos la dejo en la mesa y se fue a conversar con otras personas a otra mesa Como por mas de 25min hasta que me pedimos a otro mesero que nos trajera la cuenta.. En general estuvo bastante bien, solo tienen q prestar más atención al servicio..

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.

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.
