I was looking for a wine bar for date night and came across this recommendation.First off, when people said this place was tight, I underestimated them. I'm a pretty lean person, but when they seated us at a two-top near the bar--leaving less than 12 inches between me and the person sitting at the bar--it felt really cramped.Food: 3/5Honestly, the food was just okay.The best dish was the meatballs--tiny like marbles but surprisingly tender, with a tomato sauce that was less acidic than usual.The prosciutto and burrata was another highlight, not because the burrata was particularly fresh, but because they gave a generous portion of meat.The lamb osso bucco was a letdown. The risotto was overly runny, which threw off the dish.The octopus salad was also disappointing. It was more of a filler salad with capers, celery, and other ingredients overpowering the octopus--plus, my husband doesn't eat capers, so that didn't help.Service: 4/5The service was great, despite the challenges. Our server was managing the front seating area, taking orders, and making drinks--all at once. She even comped our osso bucco since she noticed we weren't happy with it. She was super kind and definitely deserves a raise for juggling so much. That said, with such a packed space, it was hard for her to keep up.Overall:I'm not sure if I'd return. The wine selection was excellent, so my partner might want to, but the food was underwhelming enough that I'd probably choose somewhere else next time.

Good portions with a good cost in a trendy location. West Village is known for it's variety of food options so it made it hard to find just one spot to dine at. Glad we found this spot, it feels like a good hole in the wall that's good for intimate dinners.The menu isn't large which I personally love because it means there's less dishes for the cooks to memorize. Overall, we ordered a variety of appetizers - they were all really flavorful and classic Italian. The sauce for the calamari was good and the cheeses all melted in my mouth. For main course, we got the pastas and they definitely hit the spot in terms of price, size, and portion. Also, to wash it down we had some of the wine they recommended.Everything came really quick and they were also helpful because one of my friends had a birthday. For a WV gem, will be back.

This is a solid WV italian spot. The food was very good and reasonably priced. We particularly enjoyed the sausage pizza and the pasta dishes (the pesto was amazing) but you can't really go wrong with anything! We also split the bottle of rose and it hit the spot.The service was ok - things were forgotten or we had to wave people down. It's also quite loud and cramped. I highly recommend sitting outside for some extra breathing room if you can. I'd definitely come back here before a night out in the village!

Pretty decent italian food, nothing that was extraordinary but also nothing that was particularly bad either. It was a good italian eatery that cateres to the most picky taste buds. Service was a bit hit or miss, but that's just the nature of NYC dining.

This is only a review of the rooftop drinks. The bartenders were supper friendly and fast with decent pours. The sunset views were spectacular. Great chill night.

I almost want to keep this place a secret it was SO FUN! Great prices for the west village, great wine and great pasta and apps. We had a birthday party here, the staff was extremely friendly and personable. Definitely make a reservation because this place gets BUSY but it's a classic cute Italian wine bar with delicious ~well priced~ dishes. Cozier vibe inside, we had 10 people and each got a different pasta - and all were yummy!

The best part was dessert and cappuccino. The ricotta cheesecake and tiramisu were delicious. The service was excellent. We kind of laughed at the shop towels as napkins. They are super absorbent however. I got spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were definitely not homemade but the sauce was good and the spaghetti was good, which came with shaved Parmesan on top. The Caesar salad came with anchovies and the beet and goat cheese salad was delicious. The presentation of everything was very fancy! I would probably just stick to salads and desserts next time. This is a nice restaurant to visit prior to a live Broadway show.
