This property is located on Mulberry Street in Little Italy, where one Italian restaurant after another line both sides of the street. This restaurant is larger than its competitors, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The large main dining room features hardwood floors and lots of windows. We think that we saw signs indicating additional seating on the second floor (perhaps banquet rooms, because they also offer a family-style menu). Restrooms are on the basement level; however, we did not see an elevator for handicapped access. The restaurant has a nice covered porch/patio out front, as well as additional tables (uncovered) on the sidewalk. Even though we dined in December, it was a rather warm day, and we were able to enjoy the outdoor sidewalk atmosphere. If you are interested in dessert and you have dined outside, take a walk inside to look at the dessert display (it is on a rolling cart, but they cannot wheel it outside); the appearance of the desserts is much prettier than their menu descriptions sound.
Service started out strong, then faltered, but the food was good and reasonably priced (for NYC). (One example, the server asked us if we would like grated cheese, but then never brought it around to our table, despite taking it to other nearby tables.) The lunch menu is an abbreviated version of the dinner menu, with slightly smaller portions and slightly lower prices; however, we requested to order from the dinner menu and were easily accommodated.
We enjoyed our meal, particularly dining outdoors, but with so much competition just steps away, we would probably try somewhere different the next time.
