We dined here twice while visiting New York City. The food is delicious and the wait staff was so friendly! We had the Caesar Salad, Rigatoni Alla Vodka, Fettuccine Bolognese, A Lot of pepperoni Pizza and chocolate mousse for dessert. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

Beautiful place in both areas, inside the bar room is my favorite though. I love the red velvet banquettes and that great wall behind the bar! Very convenient if you are traveling by Metro North. The food was delicious, my only thought is that the Onion soup was a bit sweet, as if it had sugar in it, but still great, I just prefer it less sweet. Mussels and fries were great, truffle fries, by the way. It’s on the expensive side, but no different than any other restaurant in the same level. We’ll be going back.
