Stephen Pugliese: Pretty amazing food and calamari was amazing.
Joan Park: order the michele: love that they don't skimp on the mushrooms and you really can't go wrong with truffle. pairs nicely with the diavola (spicy salami). the fried calamari is nothing special.
Pratheeksha KS: Quick and great service, quiet, and nice decor. Enjoyed my solo dinner

The Local East Village: Rachel Dratch of SNL says, "Supper is my favorite East Village place, maybe my favorite New York restaurant. They have these really cool party rooms that are hidden." Read more.

Ken Berger: have the churrasco and eggs brunch, any day. yum!
Teresa W: go on Tuesday for half price tapas. order the guac, vegetarian arepa, steak taquitos. down a pitcher of red sangria. write me a thank you letter later.
