Absolutely amazingly deliciious food. We dine here every time we visit NYC. Don't worry about the wait, they turn tables around so fast. Cash only.

Cash only exceptional Italian dishes. I had this saved on a list for a while and as we were looking for a quick bite, it popped up. The service was so exceptional. I was glad we got there right before the lunch rush because as we were leaving the place was packed. Very small, but also very welcoming and kind. I would love to eat here again. Excellent recommendations from the staff.
