danielledanielle: Assorted Baked Clams, Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Scarpariello, Polenta Torrisi (best ever), Funghi Trifolati all amazing! (skip the Crispy Rabe)

Josh B.Josh B: Grab a Caesar salad, Spicy Rigatoni vodka (add the Meatballs x 3 / order), double lamb chops then Veal parm, and sizzling pancetta. You won't need dessert, but get an espresso and add sambuca

Ben K.Ben K.: Seriously cool and so delicious. Order the baked clams and table side Caesar. Then lots of pasta; the vodka rigatoni and lobster ravioli are awesome. Sorry but the $64 veal parm is so not worth it.

Andrea G.Andrea Gambardella: Great old fashion look, long list of great wines and scotch and servers were very helpful. Filet migon was well prepared, but mutton chop is a MUST!

a. h.a. hirata: Rescue Me Gin cocktail, porterhouse, mutton chop, mashed potatoes, & creamed spinach all have my seal of approval.

David C.David Chung: Scotch is a must. Mutton is slightly game-y; the fat is incredible, mix a little with a chunk of meat and let the party in your mouth begin! Prime rib was perfect!
