I LOVE the food here. The bread is delicious (served with great olive oil), the salads are amazing, and the gnocchi is TO DIE FOR. Overall, I think this is a great spot for an easy, reasonable meal in Murray Hill.

This is a baaaad restaurant. Let's cut to the chase, I ordered the beef special. I'm sorry I can't remember the name, but trust me, it is not worth remembering. In fact I'm going to do my best to forget. Paper thin slices of skirt steak topped with basically raw prosciutto, (I understand exactly how prosciutto should look and taste), slices of barely melted smoked guoda(?) in a brown disgusting mystery sauce, I have no idea what they were thinking. Even my mixed green salad was terrible. Balsamic Vinaigrette? There was absolutely no Balsamic in the dressing. My wife had the snapper, in a similar brown mystery sauce. Mostly grey, mushy, really, really bad. The whole meal was insulting to anybody who has the standards of anything less than TGI Fridays on an off night. AND it was expensive. The nerve. DO NOT GO HERE.
