Enjoyed an early dinner there with the family last Sunday. The pasta we ordered - tortelloni special & seafood scialatelli were fresh & extremely tasty. The pizzas - marinara & ricotta & spinaci were definately the best we've ever had in NY. The servers were friendly, especially with the kids. Overall the place offered a very home-like feeling. Saw the rack of lamb special being served to another table, & was blown away by the aroma & presentation - a must have for the next time we go!

A nice place to sit on a warm evening, with an an open floor plan and sidewalk seating. Our waiter made a good wine recommendation. My friend and I shared two specials: boar ragout and a smoked mozzarella and artichoke ravioli in gorgonzola cream sauce. Both dishes had the texture of a frozen meal, but they were each around $23. The gorgonzola was moldy-strong (and I normally like a pungent cheese); the boar was tough but passable. Pro: no wait. The place was half-empty on a Friday night. Con: not worth the money.

I love the way this place is always empty at brunch - shh, don't tell. Their French toast is decent - they have okay versions of the standards - but what I love is their pizza. Greasy, garlicky-oily, salty-delicious pizza served by dishy young Italians. Service is a little slow, but not as slow as you'd fear. The only place in the Slope I know of where you can really relax over brunch without the throngs breathing down your neck.
