From start to finish this restaurant was amazing. The staff was very friendly and once they found out we were there for our wedding dinner they made it more special. The actors that walk around are very friendly and funny. Very interactive place all together. The food was amazing we ordered other plates to go home with and they still tasted just as fresh!

We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 25+ years, probably more than a dozen visits, and we have always walked away raving about the quality of the food and service. Tonight was no exception. Everything we had from Tommy’s Tomato Salad to the fresh fish selection to the veal Parmesan and beyond was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. A special treat is always having a conversation with the owner and executive chef, Terry Tarantino, who makes the rounds of the tables serving up his own version of Cacio d’Pepe. It would be a disappointment to miss him and his hat. Lucky for us, he was there to oversee the goings on, as usual. The Little Italy neighborhood location, too, is a delight. Take some time and walk around while you are there. Tip: opt for Little Italy valet parking or expect to walk some distance from whatever parking spot you can find nearby.
