"I live in the neighborhood and come here often. Their homemade pastas are amazing and I recently tried their pizza for the first time and food it equally delicious. My favorite is the bruschetta-it's amazing a must try, and I always like the osso bucco, but its a special not offered every night."

"Cute restaurant tucked away in Tribeca with a great wine list and daily specials. Great fish, salads and pasta dishes. Can't go wrong with the Fettuccine Al Sugo Toscano, which is Max's homemade meat sauce."

"Small and very charming place. Everyone was so pleasant. Service was good. But, we had to wait quite a while for entree but we were told twice food was on our way. Food was good but I wasn't overly impressed. First time I have been served lasagna in a terra cotta bowl. It was very tasty. Panna Cotta dessert was not good."

"We loved the one on Ave B and decided to try Tribeca location. Food was amazing! I can't put into words really. I had Linguini with meat sauce and the lady had the black squid ink pasta. Then if that wasn't enough we had what we now call the best Tiramisu we have ever had. All around a wonderful experience. Oh then we asked if they would be re-opening an east side location and to our delight she said Williamsburg!"

"I love the romantic atmosphere and the Tribeca neighborhood it's located in. We got the Burrata as an appetizer...delicious, but rather large. The Rigatoni alla Siciliana is always amazing here. It's enough for 2 people if you get an appetizer. We also had the Cabernet Franc wine which was okay. It's a very cute restaurant for a nice date night."

"I came in here on a Thursday night for a dinner with some friends. We were seated on time and the hostess was friendly. The service that followed was awful. First, only 3 of the 4 people's food came out. The waiter didn't acknolwdge this or tell us if there was an issue. Fifteen minutes later the fourth person's food finally came out and it was the wrong order. When the right order finally came out the waiter wasn't even apologetic or said anything. After the desert came out he just dropped off the check and didn't say a word. The food isn't bad but there's so much amazing Italian food in the neighborhood that i'm surprised the service isn't better."

"We liked the ambiance here, although my pasta with tomato sauce tasted mostly like tomato paste, so I didn't finish it. The people working there were extremely friendly. I will try another dish next time that a dining companion was enjoying, and gave me a forkful to try. I won't try to avoid this nice gem."
