I was looking for a special Italian restaurant in NYC for my boyfriend’s birthday and came across this spot. It looked aesthetically pleasing, had great reviews, and the food photos were so promising. When we arrived for our reservation, they sat us in the garden section—exactly what we hoped for. It felt like a candlelit, cozy, romantic dinner just for us. Our server, Michael, was incredible. He was warm, friendly, and made us feel like we were guests in his own home. He recommended the goat & peperoni Rossi bruschetta, which turned out to be delightful. But the stars of the night were the lasagna flights. We ordered both the vegetarian and the meat flights, and my boyfriend was so happy with his birthday dinner. Everything was flavorful and comforting, and we genuinely enjoyed the entire experience. The only small suggestion: please offer bread as an option on the menu. Michael was kind enough to bring us some, but it wasn’t listed. Overall, we had a wonderful night and would absolutely return. Perfect place for a romantic dinner!

OH MY - is the best way to describe this whole experience!! The atmosphere was was so magical and cozy with a real fire going. Our waitstaff, Benjamin, was top notch - jokes with us, chatted with us, was concerned we may have over ordered, gave us wonderful recommendations, and gave us the most delightful after dinner drink. The food - my mouth is watering right now for the lasagna while I write this. I have never had a lasagna flight but I want more of them ! The pizza - chefs kiss. Taylor Swift is right - is good! The desserts if it was the ice cream flight or the tiramisu. This place will have a special place in my heart.

such a fun place to dine at! they had so much variety in each part of their menu! the lychee martini was perfect they had lasagna samplers - veg and non veg both - that you could rate as you tried them - perfect for those who like having more choices ✨ we had tiramisu and bread and butter pudding for dessert a little cramped but the huge lamps provided Alice in wonderland kind of atmosphere 🎀 Can’t wait to go back!

Loved this place!! The atmosphere was so quaint and cozy. Dimly lit, but the lighting of the lanterns and spotlights made it look so romantic. The service was great super nice and attentive people. The drinks were tasty and the hot toddy hit the spot on a cold November evening. But the star of the night and the reason we decided to go there tonight was to sample the lasagna flights!! And they did not disappoint!!! We shared both the Vegetarian and the Carne flights and honestly all 8 samples were so tasty and so satisfying! The arriabatta is on the spicy end, the mushroom one and the pancetta were my favorites, followed closely by the pesto and the salsicca e raping. Overall a great night and very satisfying food.

I absolutely love the food and ambiance here. It’s a great spot for a date and I loved every bite of the food. Bf and I ordered two lasagna flights and all the them (8 different lasagnas) were delicious. The mulled wine was so flavorful and aromatic that I almost ordered another one. For dessert we tried their tiramisu and cannoli — they’re beyond expectation especially the tiramisu.
