I absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. The food was pure perfection. The wine was fantastic. The ambience was incredible. Its everything its set out to be. And WORTH THE PRICE.
The most rustic flavourful Italian food
We ordered a variety of pastas and martinis and loved them all
Great authentic Italian restaurant! The duck breast and lentils were delicious and so were the desserts. The past was very fresh and those who like tripe really enjoyed it. The space itself is impressive because it’s an old pharmacy that has been preserved.
Wonderful food as always at this little local gem of a restaurant. The staff are always lovely and the food is excellent homemade Italian. Five of us chose the family-style menu for our birthday celebration, and Augustino and the team really made it a beautiful food occasion. Great drinks and great wine too. We sat outside in the covered tables and felt like we were on our own private piazza. 5 STARS!
We were very lucky to get a seat without reservation. The duck breast we had was delicious, very tender and juicy. We ordered their The Upstate Nigori and Plum Nigori to pair with the foods. We also had Tiramisu for the dessert, it tastes perfect. At the end, we got a free mint tea liquor from our friendly server.
I recommend this Italian restaurant to you all if you are nearby.
An absolute neighborhood favorite. Went for a date on a Friday evening and were pleased by the classic ambiance of the place. The host seated us instantly because of our reservation and the server was full of life. You can tell when people enjoy what they do, and it can definitely be said about the staff here.
We tried the duck and mushroom pasta. Duck was pretty good, but mushroom pasta was the show stopped. We haven’t stopped talking about it since and will definitely go back and get our own plate next time. No sharing this pasta dish!!
Finally, the tiramisu was soft and fluffy! A definite stop if you’re in the neighborhood.
Free bread to start, great service, delicious food + drinks, overall highly recommend! Always popping when I walk by. Reservations optional, you can probably walk up and find a table too.
Indoor and outdoor seating available. Great for dates or groups/parties.
Thoughtful and expertly prepared menu: hard to fault any dish here, all are worth the journey. Complimented by an excellent wine list. During the warmer months the sidewalk dining is fantastic amid the charming, lush and green streets of Clinton Hill.
Excellent. Impeccable apothecary decor, tasty menu with good flavors. The highlights are the negroni bar, with nice different combinations, the trippa a la fiorentina (I had never had tripe before, and the flavors made it a very nice first impression) and the delicious pistachio pie. 100% am coming back.
WOW!!! This place met and exceeded all expectations!! The food was off the charts delicious and made fresh! Staff were super helpful and accommodating. The vibe inside is very like old world Italian and I spent half the time just looking at all the bottles of liquor and the display cases filled with interesting things. They went above and beyond to make the dinner special for us, and since it was my sister's birthday they gave us house-made limoncello shots on the house! I would honestly go back just to get the limoncello, it was so good!! But literally everything we ate was like heaven in your mouth!! You're missing out if you don't try this place at least once in your life!
I have driving by this restaurant for years. I finally tried it . They have unique pasta dishes where they make all of their pastas. Nice ambience and good drinks. Definitely a unique Italian restaurant.
Honestly a bit reluctant to review this place because it feels like giving away a neighborhood secret. It’s a beautiful old building in a beautiful tree lined street. The whole menu is solid but I’d recommend it specifically for drinks and dessert. A perfect date spot. It’s a small place so best to book ahead if you can.
Enjoyed the chef’s tasting menu with friends and was overwhelmed by the amount of food. Definitely filling with some dishes really shining: sage mushroom pasta, rabbit ragú pappardelle, calamari in tomato appetizer, and the ricotta cheesecake is not to be missed.
Nice spot in BK - the food is good but not the best I’ve ever had…
Such a cute little hidden gem! The truffle pasta is literally to die for. Will definitely go back ♥️you do not want to miss the pistachio cake!! Amazing service and delicious food. Highly recommend doing the family style meal.
I’ve wanted to have dinner here for several years. We finally did and it was fantastic - from service to food. Will definitely go back.
