One of the best pizzas of my life. Eggplant was so good and crust was amazing. Beets were tasty. Bathroom was cool with a fun pattern.

Good but mostly forgettable meal and service in a fun, hectic, family environment. We didn't go because it's Kosher, rather for the excellent Italian menu and midtown location.We went for the crudo also... bummer they were out of both crudos even through we arrived at 6:15. Polenta was cheesy and delicious. Black fettuccini was excellent and sea bream was cooked perfectly and buttery and delicious. Lots of folks seemed to be enjoying the wood-fired pizza. One issue was we booked the "chef's counter" on Tock which we thought would be a cool experience but turned out to be just a counter seat looking at the dishwashing station with the door open... lots of silverware clanging, plate stacking and watching dishwashers eating leftovers off diner's plates. Not upscale for sure.

More of a 4.5/5 star place! Really enjoyed this restaurant! The food was delicious! Every bite was better than the next. Highly recommend the lasagna, and pizza! Yes this place is kosher but the food is up there with some of the better Italian I've had recently. The restaurant is very small though, the tight space made it a bit uncomfortable at times and there was nowhere to wait for your table to be ready. Our only other complaint was the service was a bit weird, they kept trying to clear our plates while we still had food on them and were still working. At times it felt like they were hovering over us. A very nice touch was when one of the servers noticed I got sauce on my shirt and brought me over a shout wipe! Overall I would recommend this place!

We loved this place. We sat in the outside enclosed area. We would have sat in the outside area but it was HOT, too hot to be sitting outside. We had the beet salad to start. Very tasty. We then had the arancini, which was also delicious. It is different though, there is a spice that they add that is different from usual. They inside of them arancini balls are yellow. Still very good. We had the mushroom pizza as well. Delicious. Service was excellent. Great dinner.

This place is kosher. I came with a work group. They offer beer and wine but not liquor for cocktails. The olive oil focaccia appetizer was delicious! All of their pastas are vegetarian. I ordered the spaghetti. It tasted good, but I would've preferred having some protein. For dessert, I had the lemon curd. The curd itself was delicious, but the brown sugar crumbles were a little tough. Overall, this is a decent place to go for Italian food, especially if you're looking for somewhere kosher.

What an incredible meal! We we're so lucky that the weather was rainy today as we were able to snag a great table in the air conditioned "street tables" on 49th Street without a reservation. I totally suggest you make one if you want to be seated. Everything we ordered was so fresh and with quality ingredients. You can tell there has been a lot of thought and love put into this food experience and menu. The Lasagna was the highlight of our meal and will be the reason we return. It tasted like we were in Italy, right in Midtown Manhattan !Jelena was our server and she provided excellent service along with some great suggestions. The Mushroom Pizza was also very good, and we even used it to soak up some of the extra sauce left from the lasagna--- can't waste any of that ! The cheesecake for dessert was very good, and oh so light and fluffy! We will definitely be back. YUM!!!

This place is a joke of a kosher restaurant no substitutions allowed . It is crazy that they don't allow to change one item on dish. Very inflexible place to eat.

My fiancee and I came into the city for a date day and came here for lunch. The food was super fresh and good. The lasagna is a must have and so is the mushroom pizza. The arrancini was also really good but I'm not a fan of saffron though. Our waiter was not personable whatsoever but people have off days. We got the watermelon sangria which was good but definitely very sweet. Perfect lunch spot!

Everything about this place was excellent. I met a friend there without a reservation and although the place was full, we were able to get a quieter seat towards the back of the bar, thanks to the hostess. Food was top notch. Even though it was a buisness meeting, and the place packed, the hostess placed us in the best place to discuss what we had too. Over all, highly recommended.

This was a magical meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the best sort of comfort food. The soup was piping hot, the gnocchi was light as a pillow, the Moroccan pizza crust had a nice chew. We were surprised by the polenta with chanterelles (divine) and the lemon curd with brown sugar crumbles (only thing I might have done would be to make the crumble more like a crisp topping). Wine list is balanced and affordable. The overall price point made it nice and special but didn't break the bank. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming. The staff was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. We lucked out and enjoyed talking with the chef/owner. He was personable and more importantly puts together flavors and textures that truly satisfy. Can't wait to return.
