Claudia Filth: The butternut squash tempura, mafaldine, and semifreddo were amazing. I’m hoping they rotate a menu to always have news things to try at this restaurant.
Danny Nathan: Meal was tasty. We a couple of apps, 2 pastas, and a fish. They were all delicious and easily fed four. Good cocktails as well.
Gianna Nebbia: This prosciutto di Parma Benedict is the best single brunch item I’ve ever had. Pappardelle with oxtail ragu was also very very good.

alissa nevita: Had the capellini pasta with butter and sage. Pasta was ok. Wanted to have the ravioli but it was only filled with butternut squash.
Beril Esen: Their bread was stale. Not much of a taste difference between the butternut squash and potato gnocchi. Black linguini with seafood is a winner, but if you want homemade pasta, order the pappardelle.
Johann R.: absolutely delicious food. the butternut squash gnocchi is to die for

Paola Viscogliosi: Seriously everything is great! The ricotta starter, the chicken for two, the butternut squash hummus, the lobster is great but get it with melted butter and Chili , and the OG should be the OMG!!!
Carly Dahl: Cabbage, urchin spaghetti, cauliflower fritto and steak all well-balanced and flavorful. Service was warm & impeccable. Space is gorgeous. 10/10!
Raj: Excellent service, eclectic but good Italian wine list, and starters are to die for. Suckling pig was over-brined when we were there however
