Parking can be a challenge in this congested area. Service was good. Food is quite reasonably priced and very fresh. Whitefish special was excellent. Linguini with clams and shrimp was very nice and great flavor.

Be prepared to wait a little. food was very good because they cook to order. Though service was slow. I was disappointed that either soup or salad was "NOT" included with dinner. in this regards it was overpriced

Everything is prepared homemade as it is ordered. It is like having Grandma in the kitchen. Nice to have time between courses and not be rushed. Great hot bread served with oil and fresh grated asaigio cheese. Different specials offered. One we had was lamb scallopine. Very reasonably priced. Owner/chef very friendly. Dont' go if you are in a hurry and don't like o savor your company and meal.

Everything is made from scratch. It is worth the "wait". This food tastes like the great dishes I've had in Italy. The best marinara sauce in the city!

Service slow. Waitress a little rough. Place was empty. But food was WELL WORTH the wait & bother. Classic Italian with that Old world taste. WOW.... Some of the BEST food in Little Italy. TRY it out. Not noisy good for an intimate date.
