Description

Beyond the counter up front, the venue opens into a quiet, calm dining space for sit-down meals. The menu focuses on homemade northern Italian plates like pasta, chicken, seafood, and a popular veal parmigiana served soft alongside linguine, Italian sauce, and warm bread. For those grab-and-go moments, the pizza is distinguished by a doughy crust and a zesty, garlicky sauce—a signature flavor that local followers might recognize from the restaurant's former location on 23rd Street near SVA.
