Cute cafe in Williamsburg! Stopped in for brunch on a Wednesday at 11:30, no wait! Moroccan egg dish could have been spicier like a shakshuka, but still good flavor. Pita was an odd texture? Add on homemade sausage was great (moderate spiciness) - similar in flavor to a chorizo. Coffee was good, but the only nondairy option was oat milk? Odd that no almond milk or coconut milk was available.All in all good quality and cute ambience. Would return!

The staff is exceptional and every single one of them made us feel extremely welcomed. We arrived at 5:30 pm and ordered from the weekend theater prix fixe menu, a 3-course meal that is a real steal at $49.00. I started with a haloumi, fig and fennel salad, which was light and delicious. My main course was the levraki (bronzino), which was cooked and seasoned to perfection! I ended my meal with a custard dessert. We were nicely surprised with a complimentary mini mousse cake in honor of our anniversary. My husband raved about his lamb chops. We can't wait to return again!!

The pastor was very good but thereâs only about 10 or 12 chairs to sit in so the atmosphere is a little lacking but the pasta is all homemade and very tasty.

We were our for a quick easy dinner and found Norma. Professional servers, nice selection of appetizers including the nicest octopus capriccio I have had anywhere in years. Good wine selection (no hard liquor). Pizzas were exceptional. Coffee and dessert great too. Not cheap, but far from expensive. A little loud, but clean and upscale. I be back.

This place is amazing! The real deal! I have never found a better restaurant in NYC! This is now my absolute favorite! Truly authentic food. Not only the most authentic Pizze Napolitane I've ever eaten (and rivals with some I've eaten actually IN Napoli) but pastas and appetizers are all unbelievably authentic and great quality. The entire restaurant has a feeling of love. Love for food, love for customers, love for life! I love this place!!! All the guys who work here have a wonderful sunny and friendly disposition and really understand customer service. They seem to love their customers and strive to make each customer feel special. With so few tables and such quality I hate to reveal these truths about the place and let out the secret because I always want to find "my table" and "my spot" here and return to find the same quality, prices, authenticity. Somehow I have a feeling this won't change. This place reminds me of how NYC used to be. This is old NY at its best. It's a great great place and if you've actually eaten in Napoli you will appreciate it even moreso. This place....!!! I love it!!! Special thanks to Luca/Lucca (?) for running the show and doing it so well!!!

Decent, not bad. Nothing special. Risotto with gorgonzola and pear had no flavor. Vitello tonato presentation had too much sauce; rolls of vitello don't work as it becomes gummy in your mouth; slices and lighter, less sauce is needed. Horrible lingering fish smell from the kitchen at two points in the evening. Personable staff. New York prices. Don't think I'll return.

Small intimate restaurant near Central Park. The owner, Maria Loi is Chief and a delightful personality. Her manager, Alex is charming and attentive. You feel like you just entered your best friend's home. But, even more impressive is the fresh and uniquely prepared dishes. We were saddened we couldn't try more. Loved the fresh lentil soup, grape leaves and fish of the day. The desserts were light - you won't believe their baklava - no butter (made with olive oil) and may be the best I've ever had. All meals are freshly prepared - this place is amazing!

Excellent food, excellent service, very small, crowded, noise level high. We picked a delightful Italian wine, ordered two appetizers, the arancini and a special appetizer which was a bruschetta with burratta and octopus. They both were very good and the portions were Hugh, we certainly only needed one. For entrees we enjoyed Tagliatelle wild boar ragu and a special squid ink pasta with seafood. Make a reservation you will have a wonderful time.

Reviewed By LanceT_12
This is a tiny place on Prince Street. It can be a little noisy with everyone being seated very close to each other, but it's tolerable. We had bruschette for an appetizer. It was the classic version with olive oil and tomatoes and was awesome. Three of us had lasagna, and the fourth person had penne with tomato sauce and basil. They have a lava cake that isn't on the menu, and the two who had it were fans. All of the food was excellent. Reservations have to be made a month in advance and are recommended. However, there were a few folks who came without reservations after 8 p.m. who were able to be seated. Prices are pretty low for food of this quality.
