Several options to choose from, including daily specials. The pesto was really good. Others had the Mac and Cheese because it had truffles and they really liked it. The portions were just right (not small or big). The bread was a nice touch too. They have a painting from Madonna which is quite nice / funny.

Good Italian places like this are distinguished by the high quality of their tomato sauces and pasta. The dishes here were fragrant and herby, the sauce fresh and full of natural flavour, and the pasta had perfect texture. For our lunch for two, the quiet restaurant atmosphere was ideal for conversations while we nibbled on the complimentary bread, olives garlic, and olive oil dip. We enjoyed some Aperol and Campari drink mixes before our orders arrived. We recommend the two course set menu as it was great value for money. For starters, both the Eggplant Parmigiana and Baked Goat Cheese were memorable for the fresh fragrant tomato taste and different cheeses. For mains, the Rigatoni was deliciously put together and the Branzino (fish) was tender in the fillet and crispy on the skin. If you are in the Chelsea neighbourhood and after something a bit nice but in a comfortable and casual setting, this is the place for you.

A perfect cozy neighborhood spot. Huge menu with something for everyone, with great portions and reasonable prices. Gives vibes of more old school new york. Specials menu adds a little variety - we tried the duck ravioli and it was a lovely addition!

Visiting from Texas and had dinner here with a friend. All staff I came in contact with (host, bus boy, cook, waitress) were attentive and helpful. Had the scallop dish and meatball appetizer. Good dinner!

Stopped by recently for a late lunch when we were back in Chelsea after an absence of many years. There were only a few other tables occupied in their sunny front dining room and the service was efficient. They offer a good value three-course set menu with several choices, although we did not find their wine prices a good value. The eggplant parm was better than the goat cheese in tomato sauce (which is literally just a globe of cheese in a plate of sauce!), but both the grilled branzino and rigatoni alla Bolognese, long house standards, were properly executed lunch-size portions. The Panna Cotta was still good, but the miniature tiramisu wasn't the best value. The big disappointment was that they served stale bread that had clearly been cut the night before and left sitting around. It comes with nice oil for dipping, but although we recognized the owner who came and went twice while we were there without stopping to look around, clearly unlike a couple of decades ago when we were regulars, the kitchen was on automatic. So, still worth a stop if you're in the area, but we won't make a special trip to return. For old time's sake we'll round up to 4*.
