Best octopus I've ever had! The grilled octopus appetizer (when you can get it!) is two tender, juicy small whole octopi. Great appetizers , bring a friend or three and share them all.

Try the meat. Any meat. You can't beat a place with an authentic Italian butcher . Your meat is actually butchered on location. The owners are a blast. The dessert Peperdelle is wonderful.

Beyond the amazing New York Strip ... even without windows, the high ceilings make this place feel large and spacious !

The Pan Seared Tuna is out of this world, the staff is friendly and the chef is from Rome. Dining here is quite the experience.

No butcher . All pasta . Go to bar la grassa if you are thinking about coming here. Good service though.

Don't leave without dessert . The Lemoncello Tiramisu is splendid.

Peanut wings were very mild in Taste.

Tony Chen

I didn't get any free bread and the portions were way too small for how expensive it was.

Mango curry wings and blood orange sorbet are standouts. Read more

Forego the New York Strip . For a meat place it was only average.
