This hidden gem absolutely lived up to its reputation! Highly recommend a visit. The menu is perfectly curated, offering bold, delicious flavors and tender proteins. Andrew greeted our group at the front, and though we arrived a few minutes early, he suggested we enjoy a drink while thoughtfully recommending a lovely red wine based on our preferences. Once seated, the service was flawless, and the food exceeded expectations. The starters are ideal for sharing (2-3 people), but the real stars are the mains. Standouts included the Artichoke, Persimmon, Whole Sea Bream, Lamb Chops, Broccoli, and Beef Cheek. An unforgettable dining experience!

Very high end tasting menu/chef's choice for $100 per person.  Amazing quality, creative, this is one of the best restaurants in the city today (Nov 2024).  Highly recommended.  Small cozy room but still upscale without being pretentious.  3 services per night, and you have to pay a $50 deposit per person, but definitely worth it.  Service was excellent for our group of 5.  To me it ranks up there with Vin Mon Lapin, my colleague thinks it's better.  Decide for yourself.  Highly recommended, great experience.

Came here with my wife for my birthday dinner - lucky for us it was the special event featuring Chefs Cicollini & Baldassarre. The atmosphere was terrific from the lighting to the artwork makes it very inviting. The staff is attentive and friendly.
The tasting menu was superb, highlighting dishes from the Lazio region. The ox tail meatball was one of the best dishes of the night - absolutely delicious! The wine pairings were also superb. We will definitely come back to try out the regular menu.

Not only was the food delicious, the service was smart and friendly with out being condescending. The cocktails were great, the ambiance cool and comfortable and by comparison to everything else these days I felt like it was priced very reasonably. Really impressed with this restaurant
