"Great new spot on Mercer St. The ambience is casual chic. The crowd is great for people watching and the food schmecks. The pizza's are good, the mushroom pasta is great. The chicken is moist and tender. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other things. The wait staff is enthusiastic but you shouldn't have to ask 3 times for a glass of water. This is a difficult reservation to make on a weekend night."

"This is a very good restaurant with more then a few growing pains. The service was spotty, the dishes were mixed (although more very good then poor, still not consistent)but overall still a good spot. If it improves, it will be a go to place. It not, well..."

"The place was dead for lunch on a weekday. Everything seemed a bit half-hearted: the waiter was hung-over, the coffee machine was broken, the food was lacklustre. I hear it's better in the evening."

"Outstanding restaurant and great staff. Authentic Naples pizza, home made pastas are creative and excellent. Loved seeing the southern Italian wines on the the list and the recommendations were spot on. Will return whenever the opportunity presents itself."

"Great food but the portions were tiny. Ends up being too expensive because we had to order an extra entree and we had already ordered appetizers and main courses. Meal got pretty expensive at the end."

"My overall review is very positive. Went there for a business dinner after a conference. Food was very good and service was excellent (and sexy!). Word of caution is that the place transforms into a night club later in the evening - particularly on weekends. But I would definitely go back as food was very good and I enjoyed my evening. The later you stay, the louder the music cranks up so just be aware. Otherwise, I found the pizzas and the high end pastas to be very good and worth coming back to. Wine list good too. BTW: No kids - def an adult place."

"Had dinner here, great ambience. Love the decor and vibe. Great homemade pastas and traditional thin-crust pizza. Everything we had was great! I can't wait to go back for lunch! Apparently the restaurant turns into a club after midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Very cool."

"what a dining experience!
During dinner fire alarm went on for 5 minutes, and instead of informing the guests, they turn the music louder.
Once the fire truck arrived and the alarm was set off, the waitress came (10min later!!) and apologized. REALLY? thats customer service??? i dont think so!
An immediate information as well as a token of appreciation would have been expected in a restaurant of that class......
