Really great food and the service. The hostess was kind enough to let us 30 min prior to our reserved time. The drinks were amazing, too. The waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and did suggest some great items on the menu. They had a special desert (toffee cake), and it was really good.

Last nights dinner was lovely. Ordered the ‘Fall 57’ cocktail which was delicious. We started with the Arancini. So good and tossed with sauce and grated cheese. For my main I had the gnocchi with pesto and artichoke. It was well done but I didn’t care for the red pepper flakes. Kinda wished I had ordered the tagliatelle Bolognese. We finished with an incredible dessert ‘nocciola’. Hazelnut mouse with chocolate drizzle. Really enjoyed our meal and loved the plates and decor. It was a bit cold though and service was good. They gave us a card to have a free appetizer with our next visit. That was a nice touch. Will definitely come back.

First time here but not the first time having Italian food. I just wanted to say this. I walked in hungry and ready to have whatever they had because well I was that hungry and my wife wanted to try something new in the mall. We got seated right away for a party for 2, our waiter Sheldon was super nice and amazingly friendly and always helped up with recommendations for food and beverages. We had octopus for appetizer, which was yummy and a first for me. Main entrees we had salmon and the chicken parmigiana, with some side bread. The food was tasty and delivered quickly. We would definitely recommend this restaurant for dining, if you want Italian food or whine becomes they have they’re own whine cellar! My wife had Chardonnay and I’m not to much of a whine person but it was so smooth, which I loved.

Just had my Valentine's day dinner here. Excellent experience (I was unsure about this place before because there's not much pics on google). All the staffs were very nice, the foods were tasty too. We had the octopus, 32oz dry aged steak and squid ink pasta. Everything is amazing. Definitely worth a try.

Delicious fresh made pasta!! Just like the one in the city if not better but I wish they had the capaletti on the menu for lunch. The mafaldene was out of this world and we really enjoyed the creamy mushroom/truffle rigatoni as well. Don’t sleep on the insalata romano... hands down the best cesar salad I’ve had.

Great Italian restaurant. Hidden Gem on long island which has a plethora of Italian restaurants. The pasta is so fresh and tasty. Well thought out dishes. The staff is friendly and will explain the menu. I definitely recommend to try it out. The gnocchi was so soft and comforting.

Amazing food and an event better staff. I have been 3 times so far and this place has easily become one of my favorite places to eat on Long Island. The manager Philip never disappoints and makes sure his guests are taken care of! A definite must go

After a long day, in the city, we decided to have dinner here at the mall, and the service was the best part about the whole experience. Our waitress was attentive, and very kind. We all enjoyed our meals and especially when they put the bread out, it was crispy,warm and dipping it in their homemade olive oil was delicious. (chefs kiss!) Small portions never hurt anybody but I wouldn’t know the difference between regular and child size. Only complaint.
