Italian cuisine caters more to Canadian and American clientele ... if you are looking for authentic Italian food you need to cross the Atlantic ;) my linguine with clams though tasty was very rich in cream and not the light garlic and oil spaghetti and clams that is typical in authentic Italian restaurants... my partners steak was a good cut and quality of meat, but a bit overcooked. All in all a good experience and would try it again. Recommended for location and ambiance and good food.

We arrived on a busy (but not noisy) Saturday night to be greeted by a friendly, smiling hostess (Tanya, who turned out to be one of the owners, along with her husband, the chef). The place has a lovely, warm ambiance. We did not have a reservation and no tables were available at the time, but we preferred to sit at the bar for a cocktail first anyhow. We spent the next half hour or so chatting with a fantastic young man seated next to us, as well as with Tanya, who had jumped behind the bar to help out and mix some excellent drinks (including ours). She was so friendly, interesting and easy to chat with, and she gave us great restaurant tips for NYC! Once we were seated at our table, the service, food and wine did not disappoint. The escargots were the best I've ever had, and the half portion of risotto with Icelandic scampi was delicious. (Icelandic scampi are hard to find, and soooo yummy!). My husband loved his foie gras and linguini arrabiatta. The wine we chose was very good and at a very reasonable price. It was a perfect evening; my husband and I highly recommend this charming restaurant.
