  Came for dinner and drinks with my cousins and had a great time. Service was quick, warm, and polite. They made us great martinis - extra dirty with blue cheese olives, just like we like them! Highly recommend the burrata for an appetizer, the calamari was so-so - lots of breading, but if you like that then go for it.
  
  One of my cousins ordered the brown butter/sage gnocchi special and that was delicious - definitely order if they have it! Rich but the portion isn't too huge. I got the Cavatelli Bolognese and it was DELICIOUS - good meat to sauce ratio and I loved the whipped ricotta (rather than parmesan, etc.). It was a nice take on a tried and true classic.
  
  Not too expensive and great for a midsize, somewhat loud group like ours.

  I've ordered delivery and been to the restaurant and both times the pasta was incredible. The best carbonara I've ever had. Decent lasagna but my favorite pasta of all time is the cavatelli bolognese. I tell everyone I know to go here because the pasta was so memorable for me. I have yet to try their other dishes though. Oh and the tiramisu was very good too.

  Not at all impressed with our meal here. Salads were fairly basic and over dressed.  The veal dishes we ordered lacked any depth of flavor and the meat was quite chewy.  Also be careful about making any substitutions. When I asked to switch out the mashed potatoes for the pasta that came with certain other dishes, I was told no problem and received a small portion of linguine on my plate. Surprisingly the bill showed an up charge of $4 without the waiter ever mentioning anything. Not a good business practice in my opinion.  Won't be coming back.

  I really wanted to rate this place higher since it's located in a chic neighborhood and had nice decor with good music playing in the background. The reason for my two rating is because when my chicken parm order came out, there was a hair on my plate right next to the food. When I pointed out the hair to the server, the first thing that was asked was if I wanted another plate?!?! Seriously? I found that to be a very odd question since it was a hair that definitely wasn't my hair since I just got the food. Then when the server brought it to the waiter's attention, the waiter stopped by and said it looked like an eyelash (gross!). Of course, I asked for a brand new plate, which took a few minutes longer to get. However when the new dish came, the penne wasn't warm enough. I honestly wasn't impressed with the level of service nor the fact that I wasn't offered anything else to offset the inconvenience or the hair near the food either. The food was okay but it's definitely not on my top places to visit again - sorry.

  Top Italian in nyc. are you kidding me?
  
  Lamb chops medium rare means pink not dark brown so they went back and came out second time even browner. What did you do , throw them back in the oven and see if they would lighten up.
  
  8 people 800 bucks but  for this price you expect the chocolate molten cake to have a little molten. No chance - not even a drizzle just a little cream in the middle.
  
  Not terrible but there are hundreds of better Italians in nyc.  Sadly Williamsburg still fails on the food front again.
