In priority order: 1). Ricotta cheesecake ; 2). Veal and ricotta meatballs ; 3. Squid ink linguine ; 4). Ricotta gnocchi . They're all outstanding dishes. Place is a goldmine.

Cozy & popular - make reservations early! The tomato plate they serve with the bread is unlike anything I've had before - very distinct, very good! Daily pasta specials that have always been amazing.

Apps: grilled eggplant , calamari and shrimp . Mains: The fettuccini with rabbit was incredible, and can also highly recommend the black linguini with seafood . For dessert , ricotta cheesecake FTW!

Solid Italian food options with great service, a good wine list and spacious seating . It also seems more Italian and less American Italian for those looking for more Italy and less Olive Garden.

Really good tuscan . Ricotta cheesecake is a must. Rabbit pasta and crispy burata great. Montepulciano good. Gnocci can pass on.

The closest you will come to a taste of Italy! Lovely experience, veal ragu was fantastic, so was the smoked eggplant and mozz ! Won't be disappointed!

One of the best Italian food I’ve ever tried!! we enjoyed every single dish .. even the welcoming bread and spread was so yummy. Don’t miss the creme brulee ????

Incredible experience for lunch outside. You must have the off menu black linguini with seafood , spinach toast wit cheese and the mussels in cilantro garlic butter sauce .

Puréed cannellini bean soup and butternut squash soup both to die for; tagliatelle with Italian ham was almost too rich. The ricotta cheesecake was sold out before we could try it. Good for groups .

Just finished meal and it could be favorite spot in city now. Sausage crostini , homemade pastas , branzino and ricotta cheesecake are legendary. Endless fresh bread basket and authentic ambiance. Go!

The mussels were on mars, out of the shell in an orgasmic butter and garlic sauce . Bless these dons

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Food is great and the staff makes you feel like family.Order the Crostina di Salsiccia e Stracchino as an appetizer .

Cozy spot , upstairs is great though a bit tight. Special papardelle with pork was excellent and mussels appetizer should be at top of your list

Great food, amazing service!! Cheesecake is a must, and the chocolate cake is also amazing! They Gave us a free dessert on top of what we ordered!

Wonderful Italian restaurant - one of my favorites in all the city . Must do for the area or searching for date worthy or best Italian.

Pappardelle Pepolino is not to be missed. Home made pappardelle with tomato sauce & fresh thyme . A half-order is the perfect pasta starter. Read more

Very delicious authentic italian food ..great service and they are so helpful ????????

Nothing in town quite matches the perfection of the cheese and spinach ravioli , or tagliata, a sliced steak served with greenery ; or inzimino, a dense calamari sludge not for the squeamish. Read more

They do COMBOs.... As in you get half of 2 diff pastas !!!...Waiter offered when we each could decide btwn 2: "Why not have both"? Wish more places did this

Had a lovely experience here with great service, delicious Italian food , and the most amazing ricotta cheesecake ever.

Possibly the best Italian restaurant I have tried in nyc! Great service too, and the ricotta cheesecake is a must!

Great traditional Italian restaurant , good wine list , excellent menu, and what may be the finest ricotta cheese cake in New York. (via Scoville) Read more

Cute Italian restaurant , bread appetizer is awesome, must save room for the chocolate cake

Pasta , Fish , creme brulee , flourless chocolate cake , Italian wines , service, ambience

Must try the meatballs - can even get as a side with you main (highly recommend)

Go for the cheese cake . It's the lightest yummiest dessert to finish off the awesome dinner menu .

Food was amazing! Definitely have to try their desserts esp. Ricotta cheesecake and chocolate flan

Meatballs and malfatti are delicious. I'm half way there, but I wanted to stop and share the goodness. That's how fantastic they are.

Had the veal and ricotta meatballs very good! Try the ricotta cheesecake for dessert .

Authentic Italian (not American Italian) food, delicious, and the service is awesome!

If I had children, I would want them to cook like this. OMG, everything is fantastic, but the cheesecake : The best ever.

Don't go to Little Italy. Come here. Amazing food and service! My highlights: Tuscan bread soup , rabbit Raghu with pasta

Cute , delicious food, and relatively affordable

Cheesecake . It's like a cloud of magical creamy deliciousness. I've never had anything like it.

Mussels and pappardelle were fabulous.

Try the Spaghettini Ai Gamberi - #nom yumm yumm yumm excellent #garlic and #oliveoil pasta and perfectly cooked #shrimp

The pastas are fresh and the dessert menu is absolutely amazing!

Straccetti d’agnello (thinly sliced lamb ) is to die for!
