Profile

If this trattoria has the homespun feeling of a family restaurant, it’s because the husband-and-wife owners built much of it themselves. Bypass the good brick-oven pizza for the more unusual, and addictively crispy, cofaccini, flavored with garlic and olive oil and topped with artichokes. Risotto addicts will love farrotto, a version made with farro (spelt), prosciutto, and winter squash. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Nice Atmosphere, Cheap Ingredients

The decor is wonderful and sets high expectations. The rustic italian menu sounds great, but sadly the food disappoints - I suspect lots of cheap ingredients used that cut corners. I'm used to well-sourced food, and for these prices and environment you'd expect as much. I ordered the pea soup, and you'd expect a house signature the way the menu describes and instead it was rather bland. My dates burrata caprese salad was rather flat in flavor. My branzino fish wasn't very fresh either. My companion's steak entree was well cooked, but the accompanying parmesan cheese tasted like the olive garden. Well, you get the point. Nothing was bad, just a bit bland. Hoped for more...Too many other great italian restaurants in the east village.

LOVED IT! Great for a date!

This place was wonderful! The food was perfect, the atmosphere was sweet, I went on a date here, and we both loved it! Skip over the last couple of reviews as this place is truly worth a try. I'm a huge critique of any Italian food, as it's hard to live up to generations of home cooked Italian. This place lived up to it, I'd say. Great date spot, I'd bring my dad here, I'd bring my grandma here, I'd bring a friend here. The service was excellent! Quiet, good wine list, great food an service, what more can you ask for.
