    We had the most amazing brunch here ❣️ we were running late and the hosts were so gracious. The food and drinks were delicious, we all had pizzas which we ate all of including the crust 😂 & they literally read our minds and we never had to wait for a single refill. Never felt more taken care of!!!Bottomless is the best! Can’t wait to come back! ❣️❣️❣️

    I’d attach a picture to show you how good the food was, but I honestly scarfed it down before I remembered to do that. The sauce was so good I used every inch of crust on my Amatriciana pizza to make sure my plate was clean. The bottomless brunch sangria is also amazing too. Made in house fresh every day in the morning.

    Went to get a tattoo today and I researched places to eat near the shop, this one happened to be two stores down from the tattoo place. When I walked past the place the smell of the food hits your nose with such grace.The second you walk in, you are greater by the hostess, the atmosphere is a delight, this is such a beautiful restaurant. The minute you sit you are given water and bread. This place was very busy and still I received amazing service, not once did I have to look for my waiter, and when my waiter wasnt around, there was another gentleman who asked if I were okay.I was in the mood for salad and pizza, and let me tell you, it was some of the best food Ive eaten in NYC in some time. The pizza was made to perfection. I love the fact that the first thing you see when you walk in the place is the pizza oven, so you immediately know they are serious about pizza. The quality of the ingredients were top notch. The salad with shaved Parmesan was amazing. And then the ice cream was the perfect ending to bless the palette.... I also loved that the waiter spoke Italian and the other gentleman spoke Spanish as I am half Italian and half Spanish.This was a great experience. I am an Executive Chef and I can say that this place is a perfect example of how a restaurant should be run, they have the perfect people working there.I will be coming back and I will make sure to spread the word amongst my peers.

    Gnocco is my favorite restaurant. Delicious food and great service. It never disappoints.

    We came for happy hour and had the best time.The drinks were great, the truffle fries make my mouth water and everyone who worked there was incredibly kind and friendly. They made the whole time so much better. We’ll definitely be back.

    Delicious Italian food in a cozy spot. Service is very friendly. Dishes were flavorful and portions were reasonable. Great variety of food and drinks available.

    I can’t stop raving about this place. They have an extensive vegan menu and the vegan cheese is delicious. I was taken care of by the lovely Carrisa. She offered such great hospitality and her music playlist was perfectttt. 10/10. I ordered the Vegan (truffle pizza). I will definitely be back to try more of their menu 🙌🏾

    Excellent Host, Location, Food ! The thinnest pizza New York has to offer ! It’s a beautiful chic style restaurant with wonderful nature inspired ambience, live plants around your table and lovely staff ! Absolutely a pizza heaven ! Also the pasta none compared to this can be better in New York City at the moment for vegetarians! Absolutely lovely place and definitely the place to visit in NYC if you are around ! Reservation is must ! Don’t forget to get the truffle pizza !

  • Review 9 (2024-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    The service was top-notch, the same as places I’ve been for double the prices. The food (dinner) was quick to come out and delicious. (Aside from the table bread, which is very “meh.”) If you can, get seating in the covered “outdoor” patio—the ambiance was amazing!

  • Review 10 (2024-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    There food is unique and beautiful Italian dishes I ever seen. There drinks 🍸 pack the rite punch 👊. The prices are all affordable 👌 and there There services and hospitality are amazing 👏. I honestly give this place 10 out of 10. For there creativity. I definitely recommend this restaurant

    Gnocchi is an all star restaurant. The staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and treat you like a million bucks. The atmosphere is cozy and just plain lovely. And to top it all off the food is INCREDIBLE. Some of the best Italian pizza I’ve had in a while. Their ingredients are authentic and the sauce is to die for. I highly recommend the Amatriciana.

  • Review 12 (2019-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    Highly, highly recommend! Brilliantly delicious New York Style Pizza. Sweet and quaint atmosphere, very friendly staff full of smiles and good vibes. Our friend used to live next door and brought us here on a weekend trip, it was so great we decided to eat here twice before the weekend was over! I will always come back to this one its very good!!

    Have been coming to the place for years and it never disappoints. The vibe, the food, the service is just FANTASTICO!!!! If only I could give 10 stars!!!By far my favorite spot on the city!

  • Review 14 (2024-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    You have to try carbonara. I don’t think that this version is the Italian one but is delicious. I would definitely recommend the place.The cocktail was great, too.The yard in the back of the store is pretty with nice atmosphere.

    The service was incredibly fast and the food was solid. Nothing amazed us but we weren’t disappointed either. The speed of service was impressive though.

    Overall I was here part of the pizza tour. Staff were amazing friendly we got a behind-the-scenes look on how the pizza is made they serve roman round style. Thats all we had

  • Review 17 (2018-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    Gonocco isa splendid establishment with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My food was delicious and presented with artful taste. I was seated in the back of the house where I found myself in a converted courtyard area with a makeshift roof. The room was surrounded with plants and wide brick walls. Yes, this was the perfect lighting and ambiance for a fantastic evening of small plate Italian cuisine. I would happily recommend trying the gnocchi pomodoro or the fusilli. The fusilli came with a green jalapeno pepper that lit my taste buds on fire, in a good way. I sincerely hope this review helps.

  • Review 18 (2021-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    The food at this spot is just absolutely wonderful! The best part is the menu is on an iPad which seems soo cool, with pictures for every item. Truly a 21st century menu card!The staff is incredibly friendly and super engaging. They gave awesome recommendations and went above and beyond to make the experience amazing! If you’re in EV and want some great Italian- head on down to Gnocco!

  • Review 19 (2019-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    Very cosy italian restaurant. The patio is so beautiful! The staff very friendly and the food super delicious! The Pizza crust is crispy and thin. The Menu has a lot of choices and we definitely plan to go back and try other things. It is a but pricy but absolutely worth it!I would recommend this place to any italian food lover

    Food was so good. Ambiance was very cool and a great vibe. UPDATE- went back for brunch and WOW! It was amazing and the owner Pierre Luigi was very kind and welcoming. The food here so good. The staff is very attentive and nice. The ambiance is a true Gem in nyc. Wish more restaurants were like this place.

  • Review 23 (2024-05-06 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent food and excellent service. Leon provided great service!Calamari was best I have had in a while! Steak was delicious! Wish steak dish had a little something extra than just lettuce, maybe some veggies. Pasta was good, but needed something else for the price. Dessert was delicious as well. The garden sitting area was very beautiful!4 stars, because menu needs a redoing, electronic ipads and not easy to navigate, and I think they need to go to a QRcode system.

    Nice surprise- we stopped for just a drink & enjoyed some food… arancini were very nice, the cheese plate was good (would be very good, but one of the hard cheeses tasted a bit like refrigerator), gnocchi buffalo was very nice… service was excellent.

    Really great Italian restaurant! Everyone enjoyed their meals in my party of 8. Service was fantastic, The waitress kept coming back to ask if we wanted more drinks. The meat platter was amazing with all different meats. Pizza and pasta dishes were great. Highly recommend, will definitely go back!

  • Review 28 (2021-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Everything is to die for. If you come here, please get the truffle pizza. WOW! I can’t stop thinking about it! Also the vibes are immaculate. Definitely a must try if you’re visiting. Fun energy, great food, great service.

    I absolutely adore this place. Ive brought countless friends and family here and the service is always top notch. Servers are friendly and attentive even when busy. My server this time was Marian yet Ive had so many great servers. The vibe is super chill so it almost feels like visiting friends. The food is great too. I always get the lamb and they really know how to season fresh veggies. Highly, highly recommend. Please go there with respect and good vibes, its a special place.

  • Review 33 (2023-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect little nook to be with long tim friends and catch up. Like in a picnic with the comforts of home and family. Creative decor creatively capturing the rustic, serene quiet of the Emilia region of Northern Italy. They give you a chance to order almost all the dishes so that everyone can havea bit of it, The more the merrier. come with 7 friends and get the waiters suggestions. Have fun

    Amazing service thanks to our waiter Leon. He went above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. Better service than any mainstream restaurants we’ve tried. hole in the wall that slays. Mickiael and andreas were also giving.

    I stopped by Gnocco as part of a pizza tour work holiday party. We got the TARTUFATA pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I am not from NY but would definitely try to come back if in the area.

    The simple bruschetta is AMAZING! Love the pomodorro, avocado toast, truffle pasta, white mushroom pizza, buratta, salmon, and pancakes. My kids love the Mac’n’cheese. Really everything on the menu is excellent!

  • Review 38 (2022-09-16 - Rating: 4)

    The pizzas were great and the cocktails were delicious. The wine menu, whilst it covered the basics, only had 1 rose and white wine that were a little meh. The atmosphere out the back wasn’t anything to write home about but nice enough.

    The food here is DELICIOUS! Everything made fresh. Excellent service. Loved they didnt try to rush the meal. In fact you felt invited to stay. I will be going back very soon with some additional guests. I sat in the Garden which is lovely and rustic. The music suited the mood. Loved it. ❤

  • Review 45 (2018-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great dinner for our foursome. Our table was in the garden area (rather than upfront by the window.) We each had different appetizer, each had an entree followed by dessert for each. Each dish was delicious. Good wine list and cocktail options. Service was gracious and timely, in fact all staff was attentive. Recommended for families and slightly larger groups.

    Cozy and romantic. Great place for groups as well as couples. Traditional Italian comfort food fused with a modern western spin - healthy and delicious! Great wine selection too and the dessert is worth sparing room for. Service is very friendly and the decor adds to the great vibe.

    We had a lovely evening here on New Year’s Eve. Aside from a friendly and attentive bar tender and delicious food options, the host worked incredibly hard to accommodate us after a mix up with our reservation- which was probably our fault to be honest. Highly recommend.

    Amazing place! Very warm atmosphere, not too crowded. Authentic and straightforward.

Food itself was delicious, and I was unfortunately too full to try dessert but the options looked great.

    BEST PIZZA in NYC; unequivocally! The customer service is fantastic as well. The owner is very nice and will sit with you at the bar to get to know his customers. i cant say enough positives things about Gnocco. Great food all around.

  • Review 55 (2021-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    Great Northern Italian cuisine with its 20+ years in business in this location. Must make a reservation when possible or go at an off time or youre not getting in. Yeah, its that popular. The pasta dishes are fresh and some more unique than others. This visit: loved the gorgonzola walnut pasta and the whole wheat pasta. The famous Gnocco fritter appetizer is all that and more. Beautifully presentation of the octopus salad speaks for itself. I wouldve preferred some cracked pepper or fresh lemon as another element but my fellow companions opted no to that. Oh well. Next time Im going to hoard it for myself. LOLOther classic dishes like the pizza and calzone were also very good. The margherita has fresh basil and thats our favorite. Love the sauce and that crust. If youre lucky, you can ask for the garden seating but thats usually packed first. Its a covered area but with all the fun elements of outdoor dining without the pedestrian traffic and Street noise. Totally would return and recommend. Give the lambrusco a try as well or enjoy the many other suggested pairings as noted on the menu.

    A very cute restaurant with lovely staff but THE FOOD WAS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!I’ve travelled from state to state in the past 6 months and this was by far my favourite restaurant experience I’ve had.I had pasta and truffle which was that evenings special, however I would LOVE for them to put it on their menu as it was DEVINE.If you’re in NYC please visit here - also ask for Luigi he is the best!

    A gem of a neighborhood restaurant! The staff is welcoming, and the variety of indoor and outdoor space provides an enjoyable dining experience.The patio has both a rain cover and heaters, and is available year-round.The signature dish, gnocco, is an assortment of cured meats along with light, fried and puffy dough.The pasta, seafood, and meat are all consistently excellent.The wine and cocktails are well-chosen.The desserts are good too!

    Had a fabulous dinner last night ! Sat in the garden (really nice, warm too). Pasta, pizza, salad, appetizers & wine all super ! The staff & management were awesome. This place is a real find! Everything fresh.Something else very helpful - you can look @ photos of the meals on the menu tablets (iPad). Reasonably priced too! Check it out!

    Absolute gem in the east village. Beautiful ambiance, insane food and reasonably priced for the city.They’re true value though is the wait staff. Ava was an absolute gem and so much fun to get to know. Gnocco is lucky to have her!’

  • Review 62 (2021-03-21 - Rating: 4)

    Overall, it was a nice place and the food was good too. Thankfully we had a reservation as it was constantly really busy and we were seated right away inside. They had partitions between tables for social distancing, sanitizer on the table and provided a QR code for their menu as well as an iPad. The service was a bit slow but we enjoyed our table conversation while we waited. I noticed another table next to us who seemed frustrated their food had not arrived shortly after we got ours. The staff were all friendly. The only minor two things I noticed couldve made it even better... not a huge deal but 1)the table was up against this wall which was a mirror and wedged in this weird brick wall that stuck out, which means the two people against the wall had very little room to sit, we were squeezing ourselves into an already tight space (although I think the owner noticed towards the end of our meal and came to fix it by putting the table out a bit), 2)We were also offered bread but no olive oil and balsamic vinegar (like how restaurants in Italy usually serves it)...

  • Review 63 (2024-08-04 - Rating: 4)

    The best were the gnocchi pomodoro , the sauce was delicious and I know it was freshly made because it’s similar to mine. The presentation was also very appealing. The fennel salad was a bit bland. The spicy chocolate and cherry gelato was really good, flavorful, well presented. The rose wine definitely a plus. In terms of service, I’m not very pleased. We were not given any options but to sit indoors in a very limited space, (I understand maybe they were very busy but at least ask). The server didn’t ask or explain anything. We asked for our check, she didn’t ask cash or credit, came back with a printed copy a little abrupt. The communication wasn’t great, language (s) wasn’t an obstacle. The place has improved a little since the time it had a different owner or management, but I feel it needs more light indoors.

    Wonderful flavours, authentic and homemade pasta. The cold cuts are are DOP and freshly sliced- the desserts and coffee were a little disappointing, but the gnocchi and Tagliatelle alla tartufo more than made up for it. Definitely worth a family night out.

    Incredibly tasty and unique-What a gem of a restaurant! I have followed Chef Brian Lavin since his tenure at Salt. The man just knows how to create delicious food. Gnocco offers excellent variety,-from homemade pasta to seafood to seasonal cocktails. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable staff (Giles is wonderful), so ask them for recommendations.

    Wonderful Italian spot for groups. Come here in warm weather and theres a wonderful back patio area you just might land. Pasta is fresh - Ive had several dishes and never been disappointed. Recommend a reservation.

  • Review 70 (2018-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    Worth every bit of 5 stars! Try to sit in the back patio - its adorable and warm and beautiful! We went for brunch, the black truffle eggs were one of the best egg dishes Ive had. And the desserts, wow! The ricotta cheesecake was just heavenly and the creme brulee was fantastic as well. Everyone was really nice, service was quick (but there werent a lot of people when we were there). Cocktails were also great - nice homemade bloody mary was delicious. Will definitely be back for dinner!

  • Review 71 (2018-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    This restaurant is so cute! Pretty outdoor seating with lights. Had the Buffalo Mozzarella starter and Truffle Pizza, both were excellent. For dessert, the chocolate mousse and my boyfriend had the mint chip gelato, highly recommend both. We just moved to the area and are looking to come back and try different things on the menu*** this is an edit to my original review above***After a lovely reply from the owner and a suggestion on a dish, my boyfriend and I decided to pay Gnocco a visit for Saturday brunch. We chose to sit outside in their patio area this time and it was so pretty with lights and vines everywhere.We ordered a la cart from their brunch menu, eggs with truffle shavings, Margharita pizza and per the suggestion of the owner a Tagliolini with butter and shaved truffle.I cannot begin to describe how delicious everything was. The best part is you don’t feel bloated and heavy after eating here. Their portions are perfect and the food is so well prepared.For dessert I had the spicy chocolate gelato and cherries while my boyfriend has some lemon sorbet. Obviously both were great.We are definitely making our way through the menu and can’t wait to come back and try some more!

    The ragu was just amazing. So often you go to an Italian restaurant and you can taste the commercialization. Not here though. The ragu transported me back to sunday dinners with my family growing up. One of the best sauces Ive had in my life.

  • Review 76 (2016-01-05 - Rating: 4)

    Gnocco was recommended by a fellow Italian friend who really liked the food here. So coming from an Italian (Rome) Id tend to believe.The interior was clean and modern. We had a reservation for 8 people which was all set up in the patio in the back. The host was friendly and led us back while we waited for the rest of the group of join. We ordered some appetizers to start. The buffalo mozzarella was creamy, smooth and delicious. The octopus carpaccio with fennel tasted great except that it was sliced paper thin. We prefer the octopus as bite size morsels. The Arancini de Riso is as I remembered it from my travels in Italy.Our server had several lost in translation moments where we ordered one dish became two. When it came to ordering the main entree he said it would take a long time if we all ordered our own dishes so better so share. But what is the difference between ordering 8 dishes verses 6? And secondly, it wasnt like we were in a hurry...? We were a bit puzzled but decided to order our own individual dishes anyway.In terms of time, I didnt think it took that long for the food to arrive on the table. The pizza was light and the crust was delicious. The pasta cooked al dente and the steak cooked as requested. The Branzio al Cartoccio was filled with seafood. In all everyone was very happy with the dishes and we all shared to try a little from everyone.Gnocco may be a new find for us and a place we will be returning back to again even with the puzzling moment that left the table all pondering.Tutti a tavola a mangiare!

    Nice Italian place with great variety of food. Came here after visiting blind barber for cocktail. Had an eggplant based pizza and beef salad. Both were wonderful!

    House made pastas were fantastic. The service was pretty good and the waitress was wonderful at explaining the dishes. Small space but fun atmosphere. Pricey for portion size.

    Love love love everything about this restaurant. The food is incredible, the service is so professional, and the ambiance is perfect for a special dinner. We had our rehearsal dinner here and were treated like old friends. This is our go-to for all special occasions.

  • Review 85 (2021-06-27 - Rating: 5)

    Whether it’s a morning coffee al fresco, a romantic candlelit dinner in the garden, or even a bottomless brunch with the fam-bam, Gnocco never disappoints. Some come for the pizza and some come for the wine—but all come for the neighborhood atmosphere that perfectly encapsulates the eclectic neighborhood that is the East Village! Each time, I can guarantee that Gnocco will greet me warmly with open arms and leave me with a full belly. Since my childhood, the aroma of fresh pasta, bread and marinara sauce etched itself into my heart, and coming to Gnocco makes me feel as though I’ve returned to a familiar home. Thank you Rosella! Ti amo and I cannot wait to see you for my next black tartufo pasta! Mmmmmm

    We met friends at Gnocco. We mostly ordered small plates washed down with drinks and long conversations. The food was very good.

  • Review 90 (2019-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    Will DEFINITELY be back!! This place had it all... it was beautiful, serene and inviting.. we sat in the outdoor room which was an air conditioned solarium.. so pretty.. the service was fantastic. Our female server (forgot her name 😕) was very knowledgeable about all the food and took great care of us and we can be a pretty needy bunch with more wine, bread, oil (which was delicious!) And butter...The food: we started with the Antipasto Misto... WOW!!! We practically ate the plates to not let any of it go to waste!! Lol! Our dinners...Reginette Gorgonzola e Noci... OMG!!! If you love cheese... say yes!! It was a more AMAZING alfredo-type flavor and the pasta was very different and sooo enjoyable!! All homemade BTW!!! So even with a pasta dish, you dont feel heavy and full..The Branzino was steamed in foil and was super light and tasty.. The grigliata Mista di carne... every bit was delicious... we had the house white wine.. and it was absolutely delicious, fruity and light.. On our way out, we ran into the owners which invited us to a couple espressos with Sambuca and a limoncello.. our overall experience in Gnocco was outstanding and I am so looking forward to coming back!! Thank You for an awesome time, food and service!!!😘

    Omg! We actually made a mistake and were supposed to go to another place. Instead I saw it was in the east village and I thought Oyeah, thats where we use to go years ago, and I made a reservation. BUT IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT MISTAKE!!! The environment is intimate and romantic if you want to take a date, and cozy and welcoming if you want to go out with your friends (thats what we did). The food and wine was AMAZING and EXQUISITE. Absolutely go here if havent already!!!

  • Review 92 (2024-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    I recently enjoyed a bottomless brunch here and had a truly wonderful time. We chose to sit in the backyard patio, where the ambience was great and the drinks were flowing. The white sangria was a particular favorite of mine. The waitstaff were incredibly friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend!

    Absolute 10s across the board. We were outside deciding whether or not to go in, when a gentleman opened the door and welcomed us in. We were seated out back and its gorgeous, beautiful plants and great lighting. Their menus should be the industry standard!!! No reason for confusion on what youre ordering.The service is very accommodating and pairs great with the food!! We tried the olives, bread, calamari, mussels, salmon, and vegan rigatoni! The star is the Rigatoni, get it with shrimp! Shout out to the entire staff!

    This place is fantastic!! The back courtyard is such a hidden gem, and the food was very good. The best part of this place though was the staff!! Every single waiter, host, or busboy we interacted with was so pleasant and kind and seemed genuinely happy we were there. It made our experience absolutely lovely! Highly recommend the Carbonara and the price for entree plus bottomless is amazing.

  • Review 101 (2018-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    Nice, quiet atmosphere (at least when we visited) and delicious Italian style pizza! Reminded me of the pizza I had in Rome. The slices are big and require folding which Im not a fan of for non-NY style pizza, but overall Id recommend. Great Italian options and dessert, though the eponymous Gnocco appetizer was a bit overrated in my opinion.

  • Review 102 (2021-02-14 - Rating: 5)

    Id ordered lunch few times and I love their food. The bruschetta is so fresh and zesty. The macaroni and cheese exceeded expectations and I loved the Bucatini Ametriciana was some of the most delicious spaghetti in red sauce Ive ever eaten. The spaghetti carbonara is pretty good too. I would love it with some grilled chicken. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves fresh Italian food.

    A beautiful place for a not-super-expensive date. i find gnocco to always be a great compromise - romantic but not overwhelmingly so, delicious but not expensive and right next to the park.

  • Review 118 (2024-04-12 - Rating: 5)

    In short - this restaurant left me speechless. I will be back. Here is the more detailed review- Nestled in the heart of a bustling foodie paradise, Gnocco stands out as a beacon of Italian cuisine, offering an authentic dining experience that transports patrons straight to the rustic countryside and lively streets of Italy.The restaurant takes its name from a delectable type of Italian dumpling, a nod to the care and authenticity infused in every dish. The menu at Gnocco is a testament to the rich culinary traditions of Italy, curated with both passion and precision. Its evident that each ingredient is chosen for its freshness and quality, ensuring that every bite is a celebration of flavors.The star of the show is undoubtedly the homemade pasta, each strand and shape a canvas for the vibrant, locally-sourced ingredients it accompanies. The gnocchi, true to the restaurants namesake, is pillowy perfection, served in a variety of sauces that rotate with the seasons but are consistently delectable. The pizzas, too, are a revelation – thin, crispy crusts topped with gourmet ingredients, all fired to perfection in a traditional wood oven.Service at Gnocco is as outstanding as its cuisine, with staff that are not only knowledgeable about the menu but exude a genuine warmth and hospitality. Theyre eager to make recommendations, share the stories behind the dishes, and ensure that your dining experience is memorable.Gnocco is more than just a restaurant; its a celebration of Italian culinary mastery, a place where every meal is an occasion and every guest is treated like family.

    Nestled in the heart of the east village, Gnocco is a classic Italian restaurant with a unique floor plan.The dining room consists of a cozy inner dining room and a beautiful semi outdoor seating section filled with a vibrant green and plastic floral vibe.While the waiter did mess up our order and had little knowledge of the menu, the food was delicious. Drinks were great and the manager comped us for the mistakes made by the server.Overall great food and will definitely come again!

    Food very good, a bit salty and greasy as restaurant food tends to be. Went for dinner, sat in garden room, was a bit noisy there. Room had an ac despite open ceiling (that was covered with a net). Slightly quirky decor which includes the plants in the garden room.

I got to sit in the front in a quiet section which I was very happy about since I was dining alone.I got the spaghetti carbonara. Not the best carbonara I’ve ever had BUT still good. I would dine here again but order a different dish. Service was great. As a solo diner, I was an easy guest. Bartender was very friendly and so was my server.They have digital menus with pictures of every dish and wine pairings which I thought was super cool!Overall I’d come again!
