The Scene
At this sleek spot on a relatively sparse stretch of Spring Street, regulars belly up to a small bar and greet owner Giorgio DeLuca, of Dean and DeLuca fame, with warm hugs. The narrow space has a raw, sexy vibe, attracting a mix of moneyed Tribecans and city-savvy Soho shoppers who keep the wine flowing and the wood-burning ovens churning.
The Food
The owner has got an "in" with some of the city's best food purveyors, so the produce and seafood are as fresh as can be and the simplest dishes shine most. Ten varieties of oysters glisten on the raw bar. A shot of lemon juice and a little garlic is all the grilled octopus needs to become a star starter; likewise the addictive deep-fried artichokes. The coal oven pizzas should not be missed, nor should the odd but oustanding berry-mushroom risotto, which arrives perfectly toothsome. Desserts are rustic and delightful.

This is my favorite resturant in the city. The olive oil itself is a reason to visit this establishment. The food is outstanding. Everything is fresh and it has a little of everything to please all. My favorite is the grilled polipetti. Its the perfect compliment to one of the many fine wines, and its served over grilled cherry tomatoes, olives, and celery. It comes with a nice hunk of brickoven bread and extra olive oil on the side. As far as price I feel its very reasonable. Some places in the city are noted for pizza and the pizza here is simple and fresh with a nice crust thats not too thick. Give it a try, you will not be dissapointed.

I have never written a review before but felt I had to after what was the worst restaurant experience I've had after living in NYC for 11 years. We ordered a bottle of wine and they brought us the wrong year - when we pointed this out they admitted they already knew this but didn't acknowledge this was a problem. The fish I ordered had bones in every bite and my date's food was ice cold. Incredibly overpriced for the quality along with pretentious clientele. I can't say enough about how bad it was.

Used to enjoy this restaurant regularly but this is the second time found the food just mediocre. So many wonderful Italians in this part of town that have to pass and wont be back.
