Cream of zucchini and basil soup is a comforting...

LOVE this place, but service can be a bit more attentive.  Here's a tip: Don't rely on Open table or online reservation services.  CALL them to get your table.  I tried making a reservation on a weekend, and the online said sold out. Yet, when I called, they were able to accommodate a party of 2.  Go figure.

Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in Little Italy. Their fresh pasta is made in house daily and everything I have tried has been phenomenal. The service is on point - a classy and elegant place for a romantic dinner.

Its sleek, slate-colored environs are packed — you can only get an easy seat when Little Italy’s streets are blocked off for a festa. And the regular menu tops out at $19 for both the Cioppino Bencotto (a lightly spicy soup teeming with cod, salmon, calamari and shrimp) and the grilled beef tagliata with arugula and sun-dried tomatoes.
