    Great pasta, lasagna is much better than mom made. I go for the steak tho - perfectly cooked and served with a ton of parm. Well priced wine list and overall a very good deal (making up for cash only)

    The lasagna is the BEST I've ever eaten. Great playlist, classy but unpretentious vibe, delicious food and wine; this place is a winner. Cash only!

    Total hidden gem. Great pastas and super cute ambiance. Servers aren't always on their A game so speak up if your bottle of wine is empty. CASH ONLY. there's an ATM that only charges &1.50 by the loo

    Really liked the food here - would recommend prosciutto pizza, mushroom pasta, & calamari. I also really liked the chocolate mousse. This was also super fairly priced for NYC/Meatpacking

    My new fav Italian spot in NYC. Everything was unbelievable and homemade. Get the mussels to start. The lasagna and pizza with sausage were amazing. Can't wait to come back.

    Cute casual Italian place. Service is friendly but relaxed. No longer cash only. Calamari salad is wonderful as are pastas.

    Great ambience. Unpretentious place, good for big groups of people. Porcini tartufata and fennel salad were delicious. Cash only but there is an ATM inside.

    Absolutely love the food here. My suggestions: calamari salad, pesto pasta or the steak. All were amazing. The Barbero will compliment the meal well! 🍷

    Staff is so friendly, they remember you and make you feel at home. Grilled calamari, tuna avocado appetizer and tricolor salad are favorites.

    Great food and ambiance but I could do without the no credit card policy. (although you can conveniently use the ATM on premise for a fee.)

    Don't miss out on the grilled calamari and the steak! The steak is surprisingly light, served on a cutting board over salad.

    Food was good, and so was the service. It wasn't extraordinary or special, but a solid Italian spot with a casual neighborhood vibe.

    Tuna avocado salad and vegetable lasagna are ridiculous. Carbonara left much to be desired though, but overall great place. Cash only!

    Pretty cramped, but it's quality and relatively cheap Italian fare. Mix of typical Italian-American and more unique dishes.

    I was rather surprised the sausage pizza came with no sauce, but the crust held up better than the cheese pizza crust did.
