Ashley Alvarez: Fresh pappardelle with lamb ragu and a kickass chianti when it's 7degrees out can't be beat. Walked in at 830pm with no issues for a party of 4.
Samantha Henderson: Rigatoni with meatballs and sausage is all you'll ever need in terms of comfort food. Great in person and via delivery.
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.
Ezra Pollard: Great cocktails, cool Italian wine list and tasty snacks.
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.

Daniel Barnett: Very friendly staff, will help you choose the wine. Nice selection of bourbons.
estheribrown ✌🏻: The staff here are super friendly and helpful - they're happy to make recommendations and I've never had a miss w/one. Love the $12 and under table and the free wine tastings & classes. Great shop.
Scott Flaherty: I'm no connoisseur (tend to pick wine by the design on the label), but it seems like they keep the cheaper stuff on a table in the middle, and in general have a great selection.

Rachel K: Really great brunch option. Tasty roast on the coffee and baked eggs are bomb. Be prepared to wait a little bit for baked eggs tho. They will give you a really yummy cake to start though
Nadia IssaBella: Save room for the fresh canolli. They're divine.
Ms Helene: Burrata & octopus apps, Branzino market fish of day with fregola $22. No cover for live jazz.

The New Yorker: This cabinlike saloon, complete with a clapboard façade and Adirondack chairs out front, was “designed with two places in mind: Stowe, Vermont, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.” Read more.
Gothamist: Ever-romantic Wine House is the fireplace bar to go to. The rustic, farmhouse-style wine bar lets you settle in with a glass ($6.50-$11) or bottle ($28-$45). So relax and enjoy the warmth. Read more.
