"This place is worth every single penny!!! The food is to die for, the attention above reproach, and the ambiance is gorgeous. I had their Filetto di Pomodoro and asked to have meat added, and it was a dish that I devoured and savored all at the same time! My husband had a Linguine Pescatore, and it was beautifully presented and, according to my husband, quite amazing. Last but not least, I had the chocolate lava cake with a scoop of ice cream for dessert, and let's just say it didn't disappoint. I will be back for sure. When I tell you that everyone on staff was checking up on us, I'm not exaggerating. It was so impressive! Everyone had a great smile, and everyone looked as if they really cared that we were enjoying our visit. Beautiful! Just beautiful! I would give more stars if I could."

"Highly recommend! Gluten free pasta looks and tastes homemade, salmon is unbelievably flaky and crispy, burrata was the freshest and creamiest I have ever had, and the dessert was also hands down the best I have had in a while. Above all, brilliant service- I felt very appreciated and attended to."

"Really a hidden gem. I had the homemade Cavatelli special Amazing. Service was really good as well. Grilled chicken and it was amazing. Dessert chocolate mousse. I will definitely be back."

"This is a really nice Italian restaurant if you’re going to be in Staten Island. The value that you get far exceeded my expectations. They offer a price fixed menu that is available any time that comes with a starter, main entre and dessert. The options were really good. I started with the mussels in white sauce and for my main entrée ordered the gluten-free pasta with pesto sauce. we had eight people all together and everyone had something slightly differently. The soup was a great starter and there are several options. The salads are all so nice in the summertime. Among the others on the table we had the lobster tail, veal marsala, chicken Parm and the linguine with seafood. My favorite meal was the dessert. The two most popular desserts among us was the chocolate soufflé and the traditional tiramisu. This is the local and small very unpretentious kind of place that is welcoming for families with children. Last night they happen to have a party going on in the upstairs room. When the room is open it serves as additional seating space for the restaurant. Because of the party the service was a little slower than usual but we didn’t mind because we were having a casual night out and we weren’t in it a rush. I must say that the gluten-free pasta that I had here was among the best I’ve had anywhere. I especially love their pesto because it wasn’t overly filled with garlic. It met with the approval of my 11-year-old niece who is usually a very finicky eater and she said that she was going to come back and have the gluten-free pasta next time.That was a pretty hearty endorsement. It’s not a very chic chic experience but it's a great place to get together with family and friends. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood."
