Jon Jakubcin: Absolutely delicious! I recommend the ravioli, Kobe meatball and any of the pasta!
Angela: Their pasta is where it's at here. Squid ink pasta & gnocchi, so delicious. Very good cheese plate and a giant tasty meatball. For brunch, pancakes were good but nothing special. Bloody Mary just avg.
Navit DeBraal: The meatball is the best!!!

Johnna: Prime Meatballs are delicious and so is short rib pappardelle.
Makeda: Small plates. Between two girls, we had 6 items and spent $32 each with tip. Start w/ meatballs, Brussels sprouts, pizzette then get cavatelli with beef and pork ragu, the lobster risotto and tortufo
Laura Misko: Awesome!!!! The best meatballs I've ever had! Try the ricotta too. So good.

Chris Ferguson: Great place for groups. Cheap wine, small plates (try the veal meatball sliders), tasty pizzas, and great atmosphere (opt for eating in the bar over the dining room, unless you've got a big group).
Taylor Long: Everything I had was amazing; Prosciutto wrapped dates, veal meatball slider, carpaccio, bolognese.
JenKudu: Lovely olive mix, veal meatballs are ok, the tortellini with ham and peas is wonderfully rich and the papparadelle is tasty. Zeppolles (pic) are light and fluffy w/ very delicious chocolate sauce.
Steve Christopher: Great veggie sub. Great meatball sub. Tony is the best.
Joshua T: Best meatball ever!!
Lauren DeLaurentis: Sub sandwiches are made to order. Fresh bread. Quality meats. I have tried: Italian, roast beef (which is a hot sandwich), meatball, turkey and ham. Get the 9 inch (not 6). Eccellente prezzo!
Riley Bandy: Lamb meatball and turkey sandwiches are amazing. Tied with Birchwood Kitchen for best lunch in the city.
Paul Colando: Lamb Meatball sandwich is well worth it.
trillateezy: Nom fuckin' nom. Yummy drinks, good coffee, & even better food. Beef meatball sandwich is amazing (pesto!!) and the parm #2 is delicious as well.
