The Scene – Just south of Canal Street, chef and owner Mauro Mafrici and his architect wife, Kimberly, have transformed a cast-iron building into a thoroughly modern dining destination. After passing a small bar area, diners enter a stark white dining room with arching beams, imposing chandeliers and a subtly opulent air. Efficient servers help diners navigate the menu's many intricacies, and an effusive sommelier is quick with suggestions from the lengthy, all-Italian wine list. – – The Food – Mafrici's approach to modern Italian fare may seem gimmicky: The menu lists…

What's the big deal here?
by electra22
My girlfriend took me here for my bday last Friday night and after reading some of the previous posts, I don't understand the big deal about this place? Sure, the food was very good and presented well, but those prices!! For two people to be $250 is a lot when we didn't even have a bottle of wine.. you think they could atleast take the shell off the shrimp at a place that charges this much! There is also no ambience. Place was very brightly lit. There are plenty of places in NYC that offer the same thing at lower$$$.
- Pros: Food, Service
- Cons: Price, not Romantic

This Restaurant is a Phenomenon!
by ajy
The food is simply remarkable as is the fiery female master sommelier! Half the menu is comprised of original creations while the other half consists of unique slants on orthodox cuisine such as the single super-sized gnocchi with cinammon . . . yumm! The servers at this elegent establishment were knowledgable but not stiff. My party was seated promptly which was essential considering the miniscule "mini bar" at the front. The location leaves a little to be desired as it is 1 block south of Canal St., but the quality and passion that went into the menu and atmosphere make the trip well worth it.
- Pros: Food , Wine, Owner/Chef
- Cons: Location, Small Bar

Best Italian in NYC
by hollywood219
Highest reccomondation all around for this Italian standout. It is only a matter of time before this secret gem is discoverd by the NYC "A List". We had the 6 course tasting menu - absolutely divine. The artichoke, risotto, and black bass were out of this world. The room is beautiful and the service is stellar. Mimmo is an absolute doll!
- Pros: everything
- Cons: none
