Furthermore we were just 1 out of 2 tables in the entire restaurant and she forgot to ring in our order ? She did make it up by offering free dessert but it was kind of uncomfortable throughout the meal she kept checking on us every 5 -10 minutes if we're okay, If we're still okay etc?? Just checking Just checking ..... The whole time we were eating two men kept brushing past our table bumping our chairs etc trying to hook up the Projector and audio cables to connect the audio in order to stream the world cup games.... Food was good, Drinks were just okay and took 10+ minutes to come out- it gave first few days on the job, and I think she was there alone with no bartender or manager on the shift. I probably won't be back This was last Tuesday France vSpain

I went to this decent and pretty reasonably priced Italian spot with a group a while back. The…read moreplace inside is charming, though a bit small, and our group sat on a table in the back that was slightly elevated from the rest of the restaurant. The service was alright, being friendly but a bit slow and haphazard. For instance, I got my main dish much later than everyone else, and another person's appetizer arrived at basically the same time as their entree. To drink, I had the very tasty Oreri for $17, listed as a Sardinian boulevardier with rye, Campari, Borghetti caffe liquor, and Mirto wild blueberry Sardinian liquor. The drink was delicious with a bitter-sweet flavor with a bit of light fruitiness, and I would recommend it. My appetizer was the Burrata for $17 with farm tomatoes, toasted almonds, celery, and red onion vinaigrette. The burrata wasn't the largest piece, but it was good, with there being plenty of tomatoes. The celery and almonds added some crunch and texture, and the vinaigrette was very light. As the dressing was light, it was a little under-flavored, needing some salt if they want to keep it simple, or perhaps the obligatory balsamic glaze you see a lot on burrata. I tried a bit of the Endive Salad for $16 with avocado, orange, croutons, and a citrus vinaigrette, which was bitter, refreshing, and tasty overall. If I recall correctly, no one else got an appetizer or salad otherwise. My main dish was the Bistecca Di Tonno for $29, listed as pan-seared tuna with spicy romesco sauce, hazelnut, and chickpeas. I ordered it rare, and the dish came out with the tuna properly seared, but it was unfortunately cold. As said, my dish came out later than everyone else, so possibly someone missed a queue. The rest of the ingredients were flavorful and worked well with the tuna, whether it was the slightly spicy and earthy romesco, the bit of crunch from the hazelnuts, or the chickpeas that retained some texture. If the tuna had been hot, it would have been much more appetizing, and I would have sent it back, but I already got my dish late, so I decided not to, or else I would have held up the rest of the meal. I tried a bit of the Malloreddus Alla Campidanese for $21, a Sardinian gnocchetti pasta with tomato sauce, sweet Italian sausage, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. It was slightly salty, and the pasta had a unique texture and was decent overall. Another person had the Brasato, or braised short rib, which they enjoyed. Another person had the Pappardelle, which they seemed to like. We didn't bother with dessert at the end. The prices and food were decent, but I wouldn't rush to go back.

The staff is the best, always smiling and extremely courteous. I will admit that I avoided this place at first because I was upset that they took over after Mumbles (the original bar here) closed in 2017 or 2018 after the huge snowstorm we had. But I got over it and now this has been one of my regular spots for years.

The cork ceiling was so intricate, and the bathroom water reflection and ripple shadows were inspiring. Staff was really nice and thoughtful.

My friend and I stopped in for cocktails before dinner because the bar is absolutely gorgeous…read moreintimate, stylish and beautifully designed. The cocktails sounded excellent and at first, I genuinely thought I had found my new favorite cocktail bar in Manhattan. Unfortunately, the service completely changed the experience. The bartender wasn't busy, yet seemed distracted and inattentive. After we finished our drinks, my friend had to get his attention for a while and call him over twice just to order another cocktail. He took her order without ever asking if I wanted another drink, which is such a basic part of hospitality.. It's a shame because the space is beautiful and the cocktails are great, but hospitality is not an extra..it is part of what you are paying for. I truly hope management gives more attention to the service, because the venue has so much potential and deserves an experience that matches its beautiful setting. Based on my visit, however, I personally can't recommend it and would not return. When there are so many exceptional cocktail bars in Manhattan that combine great drinks, atmosphere, and genuine hospitality, I would rather choose one where the entire experience feels worth coming back for.

The menu seemed more limited, the value was much less(including a $6 charge for bread), and the waitress we had the last time(who was awesome two years prior) was there, but she had the outdoor tables while we ate indoors. The staff seemed to treat us like tourists and did not give us a "warm and fuzzy" like they did to the other patrons sitting near us. Plenty of other Italian restaurants in this neighborhood- probably will not be high on my list unless an out of towner asks me for an Italian Restaurant in the East Village past Avenue A in a vintage brick building.

The space is small-ish, but cozy and warm. There were big tables with families and friends. There were solo diners companionably sitting at the bar. There were romantic duos cozied up at small tables--all of this under dozens of twinkling lights and freshly colored paper lanterns. The best part of it all, though, was (happily!) the food. My two favorite dishes of the evening were the lasagna--I know that I will dream about that lasagna--it was the best that I have had outside of Italy--and the mascarpone gelato with pistachios, pomegranate, olive oil, and sea salt.
