    Very much enjoyed our evening. Great views and good food in the heart of Dumbo. Waterfront views if NYC, Brooklyn Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. The whipped ricotta appetizer was excellent! Pizzas and pastas were all very good as well.

    We came here for our engagement dinner and wow was it special, the restaurant was amazing and seated us right by the window to look out at Manhatten. The food was delicious at every coursing and the ambience was just magical. Thank you for topping off our special day, really appreciate all of your help!

    Kind of noisy but like a busy/cool to be there type of vibe. Don’t sleep on the buffalo chicken dumplings-pricey but well worth it. The cavatelli were rich, bursting with flavor from the sausage and mushrooms. Was full but indulged in the sticky toffee pudding-rich and buttery. Expensive and the portions looks small, but the food is rich and quality is outstanding. Great place to go for a special dinner.
