I've gone there a few times now, and the atmosphere is incredible. On Fridays and Saturdays, Nicola sings "O Sarracino" and gets the entire restaurant singing, dancing, waving napkins.

The excellent preparation and quality was only matched by the presentation and service.
Please make time to visit this delicious place. Of note is their portions are good and appropriate for one. If you choose to trade quantity for quality, you'll need to go someplace else.

Drinks are reasonably priced and decent. Pasta in Bolognese , FABULOUS!! Sausage and broccoli raab, FABULOUS! Atmosphere, Service, all FABULOUS!! No booths, but there is a respectable amount of room between the tables. Sadly, none of the old school standards like Veal Parmigiana etc., though what is offered more than makes up for it. We loved this place, and will definitely be going back. If you don't live on Staten Island, it's worth the trip.Freshness and quality literally screams from the dish. Very nice presentation as well. Again, the old school standards aren't on the menu. We can't wait to try some of their other dishes. This place is a find!! read less

The portions are large and the selection is expansive with not only traditional favorites but also creative specials. The food is so fresh, you can see the lobster they pick out for you. Their sauce is light and fluffy not jarred bs. They give you olive oil with your bread and make a killer bruschetta. They play live music and the decor is very wedding style. It's very clean and the service is like you're eating at a 5 star restaurant. Can't wait to come back. read less

When my husband and I first walked in and were seated at our table we were a bit surprised at the loud music and the singer walking around. There were many large tables of 8+ people and as the night went on it was apparent that this is the best way to enjoy the restaurant. After reading one review where they were upset for being turned away since they did not have a reservation it’s because everyone stays the whole night. Later in the night the staff brought out utensils and pans from the kitchen and handed them out to everyone. We then proceeded to bang on them to old classic Italian songs. Other patrons later got up to sing and even one of the cooks joined in. We felt like we were in a little village in Italy celebrating with the locals.
Regarding the food, we got the impression that they prefer to make food suggestions and serve it family style but since we didn’t want the same food, we asked if we could order off the menu and they happily obliged. Everything from the drinks, to the appetizers to dinner to dessert was excellent. The seafood was freshly made as was all the other items.
So if want to enjoy this experience, invite all your friends and make a reservation! read less

The food was truly authentic Italian, absolutely delicious! I have to mention the service. My husband and I sat down and were greeted with a glass of champagne ( with a strawberry in the glass) our waiter was so helpful when trying to pick out entrees. They play real Italian music such a beautiful ambience. Once dinner was over they kindly wrapped our leftovers and treated us to a delicious little Italian pastry just to have " something sweet" I can't say enough about this place. My husband and both felt like we weren't even on the island anymore! Can't wait to take our families there! read less
