Went in with high expectations after all the hype and publicity. Atmosphere was good, no large noisy groups. NYC style decor and vibe which was obviously their image. I was told someone who knew the menu would recommend choices but no one showed up. They had some staff that were from NYC. We found the prosciutto frittata was extremely salty - all 4 of us did not enjoy it. The raddicio with the melted scarmoza saved the appetizer as we were starving. The mains - pasta wise - for the price

Went in with high expectations after all the hype and publicity. Atmosphere was good, no large noisy groups. NYC style decor and vibe which was obviously their image. I was told someone who knew the menu would recommend choices but no one showed up. They had some staff that were from NYC. We found the prosciutto frittata was extremely salty - all 4 of us did not enjoy it. The raddicio with the melted scarmoza saved the appetizer as we were starving. The mains - pasta wise - for the price you paid, were small portions for a main course price. Carbonara was enjoyable but the crab meat pasta was bland. No real kick in either direction of spiciness or enough herbs. The veal saltimboca was again salty from too much of an over layer of prosciutto and no one enjoyed that either. The roasted duck was decent. The deserts were over priced again - we had 2 chocolate options and both were mediocre. The sommelier recommended a good wine - thank God. But he could have been more cordial. Came across like he was doing you a favor rather than his job. Would I go back - no. Service was fair, but the food was a disappointment. It will do well due to the hype but once everyone tries it once or twice after the euphoria dies down - it is just another Italian venue in a big city.
