Now the food is awful, it used to be at the very least acceptable - not anymore. Horrendous service - outright rude. When they're crowded, they'll simply jam more tables in until one can barely walk between. And good luck cramming yourself in that bar, where $18 martinis await. It is a wanna be seen crowd, so enjoy that, I guess. Go to Morello, Alba's or Pierangelo at half the price. Or open a can of Chef Boyardee.
Just horrible we had a 7:45 reservation and
we were seated at 8:50. The owner was nasty
and didn't care at all about making us wait.
We finally got seated and the tables were
so close together that the waiters kept asking
us to move to get by. It took about an hour
to get our mealy salads and cold pasta starters.
The main courses were below average and
the prices were very expensive. Save your
money and go to your local pizza place!
I've been here a few times and I just can't get past the feeling that Tony Soprano might eat here as well. The employees are friendly and courteous. The dining rooms are quaint. Food is OK, a sort of hit or miss depending on dishes. Overall, lunch here is above average but just doesn't have any type of WoW! factor. It's pretty expensive for what it is though. Go, try it out, it may suit your style but it won't be for everyone.
hanging in the the amazing bar, we encountered some of the rudest guests who somehow never learned how to say, "excuse me.". The front staff seemed preoccupied with stuffing the guests upsairs so that thy can make room for the regulars and celebs downstairs even though they insist they dont reserve specific tables. The matronly hostess gave an angry stare and much attitude. HOWEVER, the food made every second worth it! Incredible!
Their Dover sole was ineffable. Very salty, oily and tasted funny. We spent 500 for 3 people and left hungry. Try to avoid.
