Men's Health Mag: If you’re feeling pasta, there’s calf’s brain ravioli, but safer options exist, too, such as duck ragu over gnocchi. Round out your meal with a porcini-encrusted rib eye and call it a night. Read more.

Michael Morgan: Everything I had here was incredible! The butternut squash cappellacci was one of the best bites I have had in awhile. Portions are noticeably small here (order food as small plates).

Kim Fujiwara: Try the Rigatoni with Lamb Ragu - These were extra large tube pasta (larger than usual rigatoni) with a rich lamb ragu. Yum!
Peter Lorimer: Flawless service some of the best we have had. Caprese salad has a different kind of mozzarella which has a deep flavor. Seafood risotto is marvelous. First class all around.
Bravo: Fun celeb scene. Great Italian. -Galina Sobolev, Launch My Line

Olya Khilobok: Sweet people, almost empty at Tuesday morning, amazing cheese and bread.

Toia Capelli: This place is so good! Loved the burrata & persimmon and the crisp polenta with maitake ragú.
Odile Roujol: Don’t be in the rush and book before visiting the hauser and wirth gallery, ideally at 12 pm. Great food and Negroni, Italian espresso at its best and try their beignets!
Haesung Kim: good vibes!!
