Zac Zellers

a great little trattoria with a small & focused menu. what you see really is what you get here; there were no surprises or flourishes in food or service. burrata , funghi risotto , squid ink linguine .

Amy Cooper

The kale Caesar salad is unreal. Everything I've ever had has been amazing, but my favorite is the Fusilli with pesto . The tiramisu is better than any I've ever tasted. You can't go wrong with Saggio.

Nicole Checo

Hands down best pancakes youve ever eaten! Delicious. Their meatball ragu eggs are pretty good too. I absolutely love brunch in this place!

Matthew

Everything here is amazing and staff is great. Been coming here the past few years and it's my fave in the neighborhood by far. Sautéed calamari and rigatoni kills it.

Nikki ????

Yummy brunch and great prices! Will have to come back for dinner . Menu selection looks amazing.???????????? ????

Marc Singer

The octopus was great. The pappardelle was decent but didn’t make us feel like we were having a singular experience. The grilled octopus and the shaved fennel salad , though, were both notable.

Jonathan H

Service was great. Food was very very good. Really nice Italian meal . If you are in the neighborhood , it is worth a trip for sure!

Carmen Nappa

The BLT is amazing. We also tried the fig gelato . It's got fig chunks! Awesome. Worth a try.

Stephen Petrey

The spaghetti & meatballs are to die for. Ask about their rotating specials. Don’t sleep on the burrata raviolis either

Aaron Gyapong

Got the Squid Ink pasta . W salmon , shrimp and muscles !!! Delicious! Calamari was very crispy , and well seasoned. Really good!!!

Mayjaun Burrauhn

The calamari app was very filling. Anything with red sauce is delicious here. Not too impressed with the spgti al limone , it was salty. Service and dessert was super good. Will be back.

Jesus Ayala

Tip well cause you will 100% come back and the staff is amazing. Order the rigatoni for an affordable huge meal and ask the staff for anything cause they're very accommodating.

Bruce C.

Delicious Italian fare . Nice ambiance. Moderate prices but if you get drinks your bill for two nears $90. Try the Rigatoni Alfredo w/Black Kale--awesome! Lisa is the best server in the house!

Mariana L

Roast chicken with mashed potatoes doesn't seem like what you should order, but it was great. Good pasta specials . Also love the burrata and avocado crostini

Rev. Huber

The beet salad is sublime beetness playing off bitter greens. Excellent. Black linguini with calamari was a huge portion , and very tasty. Great place, great staff , and the bartender is awesome.

A C

Romantic , cozy date spot with excellent pasta .

Matthew

Gnocchi is my fave so far. The citrus spaghetti is just ok, even with the anchovies . Well made cocktails and good wine selection .

The Corcoran Group

Soak in the ambiance at this reasonably priced Italian hangout. Try the cheese and meat plate, the spaghetti lemonia and roasted garlic bread .

Shanna Nevelz

Outdoor space is a neighborhood treat! Found it strange when I had to pay extra for parmesan cheese . I prefer to go a few stops south to Harlem/Hamilton Heights for Italian.

Jared Brodsky

Come for brunch . You won’t be disappointed!

Rachel C

Fantastic. Got gluten free penne with meatballs (not gluten free ) and tiramisu for dessert . Everything was perfect.

Tania Beacon

Happy hour ! If only it was later on weekends! Good squid ink pasta and great service.

Natalie LeMoss

The bottomless brunch is great! Try the grilled cheese and tomato soup

Oliver Adriance

Great food, fast service ... a little too fast. Got our appetizers , salads , and entrees within less than 5 minutes. Let us enjoy the food!

JP

A delightful date spot with great brunch , try the eggs

Meg Davis

LOVED the French Toast at brunch . Dinner pastas are fantastic too!!!

Doc Searls

The burrata is amazing. In season, the sweet corn soup is also perfect.

Nick Conti

Buratta and fresh pasta

Rosi Liriano Facenda

Everything is very good.

Catarina Rivera

This place is amazing. Great wine , cozy ambiance , attentive staff , creative specials, and cheap brunch .

Wendy D.

If you order the steak and eggs ... One of us got toast , another no toast , and I got toast and potatoes . I won.

Joanna Strange

The food is fantastic! The lamb ragu is quite good and the fish soup is sublime. Also, any of the crostinis are good.

Amy Cooper

The fusile with pesto is so fresh and delicious. I get the kale Caesar salad EVERY Time. Heaven.

Aaron Fisher

Fried calamari is delicious! Try the ravioli specials.

Adam Wiener

Food and service here are both excellent! Can't believe it took this long for a decent italian restaurant to open in Washington/Hudson Heights.

Michael Goitein

We're big fans of the Saggio Cesar. Kale & a delicious dressing ...

Bruce C.

The gnocchi is tasty but usually overcooked. Polenta with gorgonzola appetizer rocks the house. A few decent vegetarian options--wish they would add more.

Emily Hammerman

Burata is amazing. Fig gelato is amazing. Teddy the waiter is amazing. What a great little spot

Jose Tejeda

You have to try the poached pear with fig gelato for desert

Ben Berry

The BEST Italian food for the price you will find in the city . Absolutely delicious.

gabi porter

I really enjoyed the kale Caesar here. It's a welcome addition to the neighborhood .

Michael Goitein

The Tawny Port 12-year is a nice after-dinner drink.

Johanna R-J

Great little Italian spot . Try the fennel parmigiana and fig gelato . Amazing!
