This place is EVERYTHING an authentic Italian restaurant should be! I have not had one single item that I didn't LOVE and I've eaten almost everything on the menu. My fathers side of the family is from Genoa, Italy and he had a dish here that was on special that he hadn't had since his mother was alive over 40 years ago. He said it tasted like his own mother had made it. He was blown away! The eggplant is def one of my favorite dishes and is a magical experience. The pastas are fresh and homemade and live up to every expectation and more. I'm from just outside of manhattan and my family owned an Italian restaurant there for over 40 years, I know good authentic Italian food, and this is FANTASTIC! Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality that you are getting and the service is always awesome! I can't recommend this establishment enough!!!
