Ashley Alvarez: Pizzas are thin and crisp. Highly recommend the carbonara option and a glass of Multipulciano
Kevin Burg: It's all about the carbonara pizza.
Laura Miner: The Salumi E Formaggi is delicious and worth the cost, but the portion for 2 could easily feed 4. I recommend getting that, plus a pizza to share between 2 people, and you will be well fed!

Adam Hill: If you want to try it without the wait show up for the brunch between 11 and 12, there should be a table for you. Carbonara was good, cauliflower ragu was great, and the fungi e polenta even better
Nicklesh: Ate chittara carbonara (made vegetarian) and a very nice house red for lunch. Extra points for warm bread.
Jane Katz: funghi e polenta may be my favorite brunch dish, ever. Make sure to get it with a poached egg. Also reco the carbonara b/c well, guanciale + spaghetti= heaven on earth

Tarah Feinberg: Try the Spaghetti Carbonara - Light, al dente, perfect pancetta. I'll take another one, please.
Tiffany Steffens: Loved the bucatini carbonara & the salted dark chocolate sorbet was amazing!!
Jordan M: Favorite neighborhood spot. Menu changes daily. Some recent favorites: wilted spinach in duck broth over croutons with pecorino & chicken diavolo. Great wine list particularly if you love orange wine.

Andrea Barrezueta: Came for brunch and had the antipasto (def go for the salted mozzarella!), carbonara and charred avocado.. id skip the last one. Will def come back and try them at dinner time.
Jenna Odett Laskin: Solid Italian food in a beautifully designed space. Love the decor details, including bathrooms. Saffron pasta is unexpected and really good🍝. Chicken is OK, meatballs worth ordering, dessert 👍🏻

Matthew Gore: Best Carbonara I've Ever Had
Kristina Rudic: Ragu is incredible. Don't miss out on it.
Gothamist: Skip out on the fancy stuff. The simple spaghetti lemone—al dente spaghetti seeped in a light, tangy butter, garlic, olive oil and lemon sauce—is a revelation. Read more.
David Blackman: Another contended for "most Italian place outside of Italy" - wine bar. Amazingly diverse list. Expensive. Super friendly Italian wait staff. Super cozy, great date spot.
Sabrina Merchant: Lovely new spot in the hood - bartenders and the manager are super friendly and have a great deal of knowledge about everything they serve!
Lauryn Goldberg: V tiny in here, you have to be okay with being as smooshed as possible. The grilled octopus and all the pastas make it worth it.

The Corcoran Group: Straightforward, home-style Italian food, with the BEST garlic knots. Get the house salad, followed by fried zucchini and something from their specials menu.
Gregory Fillinger: Good stuff
Ilyssa D: Fresh, delicious, can't go wrong with anything on this menu...and top it off with zeppoles!
