Caroline Yancey: This place is cozy & scrumptious. My bf and I didn't have reservation, but we got to eat at the bar & chat with Casey (whose family owns the restaurant). Get the Carlesimo you won't regret it.
Victoria G: I would fly across the country again just for that gnocchi.
Cristina Benedetti-Gimenez: This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the city. Not only the food is delicious, but the friendly staff makes you feel at home every time. No matter what your order you will not be disappointed
Sahar A: If you like baghali polo, only available on Sunday. They have joojeh kubideh (ground chicken breast) kabobs, as well as traditional joojeh kabob (chicken thigh) - prepared well, nice and tender. Yum!
yama: Try the tongue, and don't fill up on the pita to save room for the lamb...
Sasha Sadrai: Kashke bademjun and rice were very good. Get tadig if they have it. If u get barg ask for it medium bc medium rare was a bit chewy. Overall, go with kabobs here over stews.

Christopher Kennedy: The service was amazing. The waiter was very knowledgable and personable. The Pates Frites were amazing, but be warned, it is more than two people can handle!
Jeremy D.: Hate to be this guy, but it's the truth: whoever the chef is could cook up human limbs and I'd still chow down. Incredibly delicious!!!
Pete Surber: Service is stellar-- the food? Not as awesome
