I loved the ribs to start off with, they were so tender! The pasta was also really delicious and had unique flavors. I recommend trying the squid ink pasta. Bring your own booze if you want to drink, as the restaurant doesn't serve alcohol. Make sure to book a reservation in advance!
We absolutely love this pasta restaurant. The casual atmosphere allows the delicious and inventive flavors to shine, complemented by excellent service. The menu offers a variety of delicious ragus, but the standout dishes for us were the ricotta-stuffed agnolotti with pesto candied walnuts sauce and the espresso glazed ribs appetizer. The execution of the dishes was spot on, with world-class sauces and flavors. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant again and again.

So so good! Had the boar shoulder... To die for! And the ribs to start. Charred Broccolini on the side. Little weird with the plastic silverware and paper cups/plates. Covid is mostly over in Bushwick, so not sure what the deal is. Taking a star for that. Hope they get back to 'normal ' soon.
The interior and exterior are decorated in an unusual manner, reservations are required, and you can only book by phone (no walk-ups), but those quirks don't really matter because they serve the freshest, most delicious Italian food in NYC.
