“ This was a wonderful experience overall, from the ambiance to the service to the food! The restaurant is in a great area. We tried a few appetizers and entrees, and everything was wonderful. Highly recommend if near Chelsea! ”
“ one of the best chicken parms i've ever had! good and nice service and chill atmosphere ”
“ My friend made reservations here. I checked out reviews and images and was looking forward to this spot. We started off with smoked old Fashion ($18 each) and it came out Smokey and tasty. Got an order of calamari fritti ($19) and it was crispy and delicious. Also got the SM Diavola pie ($22) and it was really good. Finished off our meal with linguini vongole ($28) and venne vodka with breaded chicken ($30) which were both solid. Overall I really enjoyed the meal and I would def recommend this place if you are in the mood for Italian food. Got there at 6:20ish and by the time we left, the place was packed. *Good service *Highly recommend making reservations *Credit card fee *Gratuity automatically included (20%) ”
“ The pizza was just OK. Everything felt a little bit bland. The service however, was exceptional. Ambience can be casual or a little more dressed up. ”
“ Zia Maria delivered an awesome experience, especially with the meat lovers pizza, which was phenomenal. The pizza was packed with flavor and had a perfect crust that I'd come back for in a heartbeat. The chicken parm, while not amazing, was decent, but the bruschetta and cheese sticks appetizers were standout dishes. The decor is chic and stylish, and our waitress was sweet and attentive throughout the meal. It's a great spot for both casual bites and a slightly more elevated dining experience. ”
“ We stopped in for a meal and were welcomed without a reservation. All 3 meals were fantastic, Fettucine Alfredo, Spaghetti and Meatballs and Seafood special. The Arancini was so tasty, the red sauce seems homemade and flavorful. Our server, Nina, was attentive and helpful. ”
“ I came here with friends on an Italian food craving and left satisfied! The portions were large and decently priced by New York standards. Nothing was mind blowing but it wasn't bad either. We came here on a Sunday night at around 5:30 and it was pretty empty. Service was very quick and we were unintentionally out in less than an hour (we were also hungry and scarfed down our food, which definitely sped up the dinner). I would come back if I was in the area and wanted pizza and pasta but probably wouldn't seek this place out. ”
“ Great Service, great food and greats vibe. Our server Zach, awesome. My daughter and I were hanging in the city and decided to have Italian cuisine for dinner. Everything he recommended was awesome. I had a Bronzino (awesome) my daughter had ravioli, we also order calamari which was awesome. Think we also had some sort of sample that Zach recommended with rice balls... omg the rice balls was something amazing. Oh, how can I forget that Smokey old fashioned cocktail they made for me... wish sit was a little bit stronger but overall. We enjoyed our experience dinning here. Zach definitely made me want to come back for another run when I'm in the neighborhood. Live, love and laugh. - Sha ”
