Italian Restaurant · Hudson Heights · 64 tips and reviews
Bruce C.: Delicious Italian fare. Nice ambiance. Moderate prices but if you get drinks your bill for two nears $90. Try the Rigatoni Alfredo w/Black Kale--awesome! Lisa is the best server in the house!
Amy Cooper: The kale Caesar salad is unreal. Everything I've ever had has been amazing, but my favorite is the Fusilli with pesto. The tiramisu is better than any I've ever tasted. You can't go wrong with Saggio.
Tania Beacon: Happy hour! If only it was later on weekends! Good squid ink pasta and great service.

Sofrito inmySoul: Wonderful Roasted chicken, mushroom orzo, and sausage apple plates! #sofrito #foodie #eater #dinner #frenchfood
Zile Dzenitis: EVERYTHING is delicious here... you can't go wrong. When in doubt, try the lamb shank.
Jim Ray: Literally, a one-chef operation! Well done California cuisine is still great in my book. The atmosphere — music volume, AC level — could use some attention but this place is great overall.

Maria Guralewycz: Delicious guilty pleasure!

Julie Avra: the chicken is delicious! And a big portion, the sangria is also good and the fruit in it is very fresh
David Berkowitz: Try the tres leches - This tres leches cake is so good, you'll swear there are seis leches in it. Really, leave room for dessert, or just skip dinner entirely and get this.
