    While it was a bit noisy - the noise was just from other patrons. Not loud pounding music like in many other restaurants. Reservations are essential! Service was very friendly and quick. Prices were reasonable for NYC.

    Shrimp/pasta fra dia diavolo (a bit salty but perfect heat) and the Marilena salad were very tasty. The branzino was the best ever! Bread is $6-$10 extra. The lemon pie and the chocolate mousse were delicious. Aneta, our waitress, was exceptional and all staff were welcoming and friendly. The singing of “Happy BIrthday” was off-key but courageous. Oh, it’s across the street from Lincoln Center!!!

    Always reliable -- food is just what it says it is (solid Italian classics, great thin-crust pizza), ambience is lively, service is brisk, friendly, and efficient. You always feel like a winner when they bring out the trays of warm chocolate chip cookies and the regulars know about the chocolate bark on the way out.

    Always great food!! One little note- the courses came a little too fast .. yes, we were there before the opera - but didn’t need to have our courses served so quickly

    It’s always fantastic here! Great service, delicious food (especially the branzino and artichokes alla Giuda)! Lively atmosphere and great pre-opera choice for efficient service.
