7.6
A more intimate, less headline-y Mulberry Street option that plays well for couples who want a quieter-feeling Italian dinner without chasing the most famous rooms. The best approach is to lean into seafood pasta and handmade noodle choices, then keep the night moving with one shared starter and one dessert.

Linguini ai frutti di mare, House-made pasta special, Lobster pasta (when offered)

What makes it special: A lower-hype Mulberry Street date-night lane with strong seafood pasta appeal.
Who should go: Couples who want a quieter Little Italy meal
When to visit: Weeknight dinner for the most relaxed vibe

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option, especially after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—nice jeans are fine, but this works best with a polished date-night look.
Noise level: Low to moderate—generally easy to hold a conversation, especially indoors or on weeknights.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation; longer during peak Mulberry Street hours.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait typically.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several pasta and vegetable-forward options available, though not a separate menu.
Vegan options: Limited—possible with modifications, but not ideal if the entire table is vegan.
Gluten-free options: Some gluten-free pasta options may be available; confirm with the server about preparation.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—especially if you want a calmer, less touristy Little Italy experience that allows real conversation without pressure.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or earlier evenings, but reservations are recommended on weekends to avoid waiting.
Is it kid-friendly? It’s more date-focused than family-oriented; kids are welcome, but the vibe suits adults better.
Best For
Better for: Quieter, more intimate seafood-leaning Italian dinners compared to louder, higher-hype Mulberry Street rooms.
Skip if: You want a buzzy, scene-driven date night or the most iconic Little Italy experience.
