Dear...I don't think they are trying to be "authentic" for tourists, but for neighborhood people rather. Small, tiny yes... but they do get my vote on good food though.

Not surprising, but the location isn't all that great and it isn't exactly the most visible restaurant in the area. Small, tiny, and overshadowed by the big gun sign from the Jovino gunshop (which, I might add, is a major fucking ripoff).

The offensive comment was unpublished this morning... we do monitor the comments, but given the volume we get, we appreciate it when other readers can alert us to questionable comments.

They'll make you a manicotti you can't refuse.

I'd suggest Belmont up in the Bronx, but that is basically all run by Albanians now.

Why you won't catch me eating in Little Italy.

Man if the other guys would just put that much effort into making their food better we'd be in good shape.

Do they really think visitors expect "authenticity" in Little Italy? Not in that neck of the woods.
