We are native NYers who don't usually eat in "touristy" Times Square but we just about "fell" into this place because we had out of town guests who parked at the garage across the street. we were thinking about where to eat and there it was. So we stepped in. I ordered the spaghetti with clams and my husband had open lobster ravioli. Our guests had the rigatoni bologonese and the pesto dish. Everyone liked their dishes. Mine could have used a bit more garlic and flavor. It was good but not REALLY good. We all had and shared desserts. Again good but not really good. The wait staff was polite but we were there on a slow night and they had jammed a lot of tables close to each other and half the (back) room was empty. Had they seated one of the foursomes at a table for six, it would have been more comfortable. Because of how jammed in we were the waiters had to keep going around the next table to get to one half of our table. It was silly. My other issue is the bread. They don't have good Italian bread like most Italian restaurants in the city. That was a HUGE disappointment for my guests.
Pros: pretty good food, nice atmosphere, could be better if they spread out the tables
Cons: the bread is terrible, the food could use more flavor
