The moment we sat at the bar, right in front of the open kitchen, I knew this place was special. Two chefs moved in perfect harmony, effortlessly orchestrating every dish that passed before us it was like watching a culinary ballet. We started with a burrata and sweet potato starter that was as beautiful as it was delicious. The burrata was creamy and luscious, but what truly stole the show was the bread so outrageously good I shamelessly ordered more. Then came the mussels with chorizo: a rich, saucy masterpiece with just enough heat to make each bite exciting. Dunking that incredible bread into the spicy, flavorful broth was pure joy. Next up, the seared scallops with uni risotto arrived, and they were perfect crispy edges, tender centers, and a risotto so creamy and balanced it felt like comfort and luxury in one bite. Finally, we finished with the gigli pasta with braised pork shoulder, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The flavors were deep, bold, and completely unforgettable a finale worthy of the whole evening. The service matched the food: warm, genuine, and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. The atmosphere struck that rare balance between vibrant and intimate, making every moment feel special. Few restaurants have ever thrilled me like this one. If you’re searching for a meal that will leave you grinning long after the last bite, this is the place.

I stumbled upon this place while in a bind and looking for open Resy’s. Otis popped up as still available and man I was lucky it was. I had an amazing evening dining here, the bread and spreads are top notch and I especially loved the pasta dish that was so decadent and rich in flavor. I would go back in a heart beat!

Came here on a double date and the vibes were super cool. The cocktails, and food were on point. I ordered the short rib special and I felt like someone gave me a giant hug. I’ll definitely be back if Ian ever in the neighborhood. The service was fast as well and easy to get out by taking the L train.

Food and atmosphere were amazing! Gem lettice salad and scallop risotto were my favorite. P.S. I come here often and always wonder why this place isn’t listed under the Michelin Bib Gourmand. My guess is that the food takes quite a while to come out between each dish, which might be the reason. Other than that, I’m always satisfied with the meal.

Overall, it’s good! the bread and beet salads are perfect! The gnocchi is a bit too soft for my taste, but the pork shoulder pasta is great, and the portion is huge. Overall, I’d say it’s good value for a hangout!

The atmosphere was nice. It was a very cozy restaurant. We had the soup of the day it was a tomato bisque with croutons in it. It tasted very good!! I loved this! It mimicked the flavor of penne ala vodka. We all as a group ordered the pork shoulder pasta with the burrata on top. I usually dislike burrata but oh my goodness!! This was delightful!! What a beautiful flavor profile mixed with the pork shoulder. I was very shocked.

I love this restaurant. I lived in NY for a decade and every time I come back to visit I make this a must-visit destination. The menu has a some mainstay staples such as the burrata (which is unreal) but there are always a few items that change as well. Never ever has there been something that disappointed me. Everything is cooked and plated with care. I love sitting at the chefs counter so you can have a peek into the process. Such a great place. I’ve told my friends and now this is one of their favorites, too. I cannot recommend this place enough.

This place was such a treat. My only regret is not coming back to try more dishes as I told myself I would! My friend and I enjoyed sitting by the kitchen and watching the skill and efficiency of the staff there. I’m writing this review a little bit late so can’t remember the names of the dishes I got but they were all excellent. The ingredients were all homey and the flavors were masterful. Our waiter was personable, a tad forgetful but it was a busy night so can’t blame him. I still have to come back for sure!

I was nearby and came in looking for a place to eat dinner. It was a good call. I ordered the braised pork pasta and a beer. The pork was tender and paired well with the gigli pasta. The sauce smelled good and tasted nice too. I asked for a beer recommendation, and they suggested one that fit my taste, which made the meal more comfortable. When I visited, I was the only one dining alone, but sitting at the bar still felt relaxed and easy.
