We truly enjoyed this Italian restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The pizza was outstanding. I'm very particular about pizza and rarely order it in New York because it's almost always greasy and drips with oil. This one, however, genuinely reminded me of Italy. The crust was thin, light, and full of flavor, and the toppings had a subtle hint of spice. We'll definitely be back.

The best way to describe this restaurant is that it’s like a warm hug. The owners Jose and Giselle have mastered the combination of great food and the best hospitality you can imagine. The menu is a beautiful combination of different types of dishes and they have a perfect wine and beer menu to match. Do not leave without ordering their gelato. This is a perfect spot to have lunch or dinner and enjoy their cozy interior.

The restaurant is excellent. The service was great. My server was very attentive. The food was delicious and the plating was appealing. I really enjoyed their New Enhland clam chowder and the lamb chops. The vegetables were a wonderful addition to the meal. I loved the atmosphere and even the ecclectic mix of music playing while I ate. I shall return.

I took the Pride of the Hudson cruise close to the restaurant. We had a cheese pizza as an appetizer, it was really good! I had gnocchi with lobster it was incredible! I had the chocolate lava cake with Gelato it was unbelievable ! It was a wonderful experience with very nice and attentive staff.

This was a very nice clean restaurant. The food was excellent and service was prompt and friendly. When we went it began to rain and they kindly allowed us to move tables twice and help me with my scooter( I have a broken foot). The staff was informed about the ingredients and the specials they were offering. I had the Mahi-mahi with roasted potatoes and my had rib eye with brussels sprouts. The food was the best I had in years. The view makes the best conversation topic. Thank you for your…
