    Fantastic and quant little Sicilian joint in SoHo. Had my family of 6 there for lunch and everyone loved it. Place was adorable and the servers were super attentive and all over it. We didn’t wait for a drink, a dish removal or even a dropped fork. Food was super flavorful and fresh and of very high quality. Easy to see why this place is highly rated. Very highly recommended!!

    Fabulous experience & Excellent service/ambience. From the moment we got seated, all staff and Sophia specifically made us feel very welcome and ensured we understood the vegetarian variations of the delicacies. Absolutely loved the truffle pizza and the tiramisu and had to order a second one before the night got over. Will definitely recommend and revisit ourselves.
