First off great service! They were a little bit busy when we arrived, but we were seated rather quickly. They checked on us often without being overbearing. The ambiance is dimmed lighting & chill. Food was delicious. Portions were perfect. Highly recommended this spot! Two thumbs up!

Tried this spot for the first time tonight and already cannot wait to return. The penne alla vodka is a MUST have. We also had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken added in and it was delightful. Cute tiny spot with friendly service. Had wine and dessert. Tartufo is a solid choice. Prices weren't bad for 2024.

This was on the cusp of 5 stars FYI. The Caesar salad was very good, well-dressed, quite zesty. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it's definitely very good. The bread they bring is delicious, fresh, crispy on outside, fluffy on inside, and great to mop up dressings, sauce, butter, mud, anything lol. The spaghetti puttanesca SMACKED (translation, also very good). I've actually never had this dish before, and I loved how well-balanced it was. The sauce was smooth, buttery, and acidic from olives/capers. The portion was solid, spaghetti well-cooked. I mopped the plate. I felt that the service was fine, perhaps a tad rushed, inattentivec... they were busy but felt a little jaded. But nothing bad by any means. Maybe I'm just used to overly friendly waiters, and they're not quite that, but that's fine. Who cares how nice your waiters are if your foods bangin! I'd very likely come back, and I'm excited to do so! Thanks team :)

Surprisingly fresh and tasty pasta at an affordable price. Service was excellent as well.

Antica Trattoria * Host Excellent! * Service Excellent! * Food Outstanding & Delicious My Wife and I have been coming here with family for over 25 years and it is always a great experience. This past Sunday, Alvino and the staff were great, and the food was so good that we are inviting our family to Antica for our 30th wedding anniversary dinner in May. Thank you Antica and order me a whole Italian style cheesecake with pistachio (So Good) for our anniversary dinner. Anthony & Grace Ciao

Food and service was amazing. We went around 4 and it was perfect. The restaurant is clean, and has an old school feel. Only wine, beer and soft drinks. This is the second time we come and try the meatballs of the menu. The first time we had the seafood platter with mussels, clams, shrimp in a marinara sauce. Bread was served, warm and fresh and the sangria was refreshing.

This restaurant has a classic Italian trattoria feel with a rustic wood trim, classic mural and great decoration. They had great ambiance for dates, dinners with friends, or even solo. The food was some of the best Italian food I've had in NYC. I had the the lamb Ragu special, pictured below, and was blown away by the flavor and the freshly and perfectly cooked pasta. The calamari tasted freshly breaded and cooked; I would honestly even come here and just get a giant plate of it. I also got to try the sardine pasta and will probably order it next time. All in all a great restaurant for any affair with great service!

I was recently staying in the area and didn't want to venture too far for dinner one night so I walked over to this spot and was pleasantly surprised. Everyone working here was super friendly and it really gave off a welcoming energy. The interior is well done and nice enough for a date, but casual enough if you're looking to just grab dinner by yourself. I started with an order of the calamari which came out fast, hot and crispy. Super traditional presentation done right with a side of tomato sauce and a lemon wedge. For my main, I ordered the Chicken Francese which is always one of my favorites. It came with two nice-sized portions of chicken and a side of spaghetti. The chicken was tender and the lemon sauce was really solid. I do wish the spaghetti came in the same lemon sauce instead of tomato sauce though. I would probably ask for that next time as tomato vs. lemon sauce don't work side by side for me. Overall a nice spot that seems to care about the food they're putting out. Great find in this awesome little neighborhood.
