First, they seated us in the back in an alley near the bathroom. Then we discovered there was s private (YELP) party in a room about 10 feet away - they were noisy, walking in and out with drinks to the outside back area . They were loud and quite trashy looking - a real turn off. We couldnt wait to leave. We waited a very long for our meals and only three of four meals came out. The fourth meal came out so much later, the rest of us were almost done. Empty glasses and dishes remained on the table and we needed to ask more than once for water. Then they came and started to clear the table while one person was still eating. We were there a while back and loved it. Not sure what happened, but last night was a terrible experience. Wont go back again.

Went with friends. I had the seafood mac and cheese. Very good. Someone else in our party had the shrimp with risotto. Very good. One of the owners, Benny, used to be part owner of Spuntinos in Dix Hills, which has the best grandma pizza around. Nicely decorated and clean. Bathrooms also clean. Only negative is small glasses for draft beer. If your gonna charge premium prices at least give me a pint.

Went for lunch with a friend I havent seen in a while to catch up. The waitress hounded us for our order..very annoying. We each ordered a $14 salad and left hungry..portion very small for the price. Then when the bill came again repeatedly came to table like we were holding people up. It was 330 in the afternoon plenty of tables open and no one waiting. Will nvr return!!

I really wanted to take my mother to Vespa for this upcoming mothers day and they told me they only allow parties of 8. I asked if there was something they can do and they gave the option of chance, meaning show up on the busiest holiday of the year to see if they can seat us! That is really unfortunate, my mother was really looking forward to going.

If I could give zero I would. The prices are ridiculously high for below average Italian cuisine plus the portions were small. Everything is pay separate. Plus you get no pasta with your expensive dish other than a small salad with 2 choices of dressing only. Service & management not nice or accommodating. Extremely disappointed.

Hey Steve
If you are looking for modern Italian food then this is the only place to go. The food is outstanding, the bartenders whip up excellent cocktails and the atmosphere is lively. Go during a warm night and the huge windows are open to main street.

I only had the kale and sausage soup, and it was good. To me the place seems overpriced for their ordinary fare. Its like a fancy pizzeria, and I dont know why ppl will pay more for the same food.

Very slow staff, didnt anticipate any of our needs, had to ask for refills and napkins. Bus persons were very good they quickly cleaned up our plates. Very expensive. Food was decent.

Food is better than average, wait can be considerable as it is very popular on weekends, and it is very noisy. But its worth the visit.
