This decour was good, except the marble tiles that covered the entire thee walls. The service was good, but could be better. The waiter approached us right away after we sat down to ask if we liked to drink something but he hadnt brought the menu yet. Then he brought the menu but not the wine list. We chose our food but did not know what to have for wine. The food was delicious but did not justify the price. I had the same taste at other Italian restaurants for half the price. For two people, with a bottle of chardonnay, that was $45.00, and two appetizers, we paid $150.00, without the gratuity.

Absolutely delicious. I recently went there after a hiatus of more than 30 years, and everything was delicious and satisfying. Their seafood dishes are standouts. In fact we went there because I had such vivid and fond memories of the grilled red snapper - which I had last enjoyed in 1983! Nothing has changed: The dish remains my favorite fish of all time. Other must tries include the terrifically tender and flavorful grilled octopus and the handmade pasta with grappa. Classic old-school Italian. Great service too. Highly recommended.

I have been coming to this restaurant over a period of 40 plus years. The food and service has ALWAYS been 5 plus stars. Visiting it and eating there recently with my son brought back many fond memories along with seeing many familiar faces. Everything we had to eat was excellent. I was happy to see John there again. When he had left for a period there vas a vibe, positive energy that was missing. If I was given an ultimatum that I could go to only one restaurant, it would be this one.

I was so surprised by this restaurant. I work in the area and never knew about it until recently. I love Italian food so I am happy to say this place is great. But what really impressed me was the service. Everyone from the waiter to the bus boy was pleasant and smiling. I felt they really wanted me there and paid attention to every detail. They have a customer for life.

What a lovely neighbourhood gem! EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. The octopus stew was so tender. The bottarga pasta was the star of the night. So simple, yet so bold!! By the time the other pasta came out I was stuffed so i took the majority of it to go. I enjoyed the lamb and licked the whole entire plate clean.

My favorite restaurant. Dined at a table near Tony Bennet several years ago. Traditional family owned and operated. I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice peaceful high quality Italian dinner with great service. No need to trek into Manhattan.

Old school NY Italian vibe. You really feel like you are experiencing NY history when you eat here. The food is delicious and they have an extensive wine list. The owner frequently makes his rounds to the tables and is a gem of a person.

As an Italian I was delighted to have a great selection of ethnic dishes. The veal chop was excellent and the osso bucco devine. Appetizers were delicious. Wait staff and service very attentive without being bothersome. Bravo

I want to say I loved it but I cant give 5 stars to every restaurant. However, OTG this is good. I loved the food and the service. I shouldve given it a 4.5 stars but that option wasnt available. lol Great place!!!

An old neighborhood Italian restaurant which is filled with customers, many of whom moved to the suburbs but keep returning for the great food and service.

Overall not impressed with the service at the restaurant. The waiter did not come back a single time after taking the order. He was actually kinda snobby.
