Logistics & Planning
Parking: No valet; limited street parking in Tribeca and nearby paid garages are the most reliable option, especially evenings.
Dress code: Upscale smart casual to dressy; jackets and elegant evening wear fit the room, jeans are acceptable if polished.
Noise level: Low to moderate — quiet enough for full conversation without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation; reservations strongly recommended.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days, though business lunches can fill the room.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple pasta and vegetable-driven courses can be accommodated within the prix-fixe format.
Vegan options: Limited — advance notice recommended so the kitchen can adjust courses.
Gluten-free options: Limited but possible — select mains and modified pastas with advance notice.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you want a refined, intimate first impression. It’s better for conversation and connection than casual spontaneity.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes on quieter weeknights or early seatings, but weekends and prime dinner hours almost always require a reservation.
Is it kid-friendly? Not especially. The calm atmosphere and prix-fixe pacing make it best for adults and older teens rather than young children.
Best For
Better for: Quiet luxury, polished service, and classic Italian execution without trend-driven theatrics.
Skip if: You want à la carte flexibility, a lively scene, or a more casual, high-energy Italian night.
