"Most authentic Italian in the East Village. Spectacular service, great specials, and every single risotto is delicious. Try the calamari!"

"Soup dumplings. Garlic Seaweed. String beans. Orange chicken. Duck. Scallion Pancake. You cannot go wrong here. Waiting for a table takes longer between 7-9. 9 is prime time for getting a table."

"Food is ok. Head two blocks south for a truly authentic Little Italy meal."

"A Ludlow restaurant free of pretension. Chicken and waffle mixes that even the most creative person couldn't dream up. Wonderful staff. Great drinks."

"Well curated. Friendly staff. Great conversationalists. A true model for vintage shops. Unexpected finds. Community centerpiece."

"Always on time. Wonderfully considered decor. Great music. Tony is the most likable barber in New York City."
