The Room

Candlelit & Intimate

Custom banquettes, low light, framed artwork, and the signature flower mural. The kind of room where conversations slow down.

The Service

Quiet, Attentive, Italian

A team that's worked together for years. They read the room — closer when you want them, invisible when you don't.

The Wine

Owner-Sommelier's List

Champagne by the glass, Barolos by the bottle, and pairings from Chef-Owner Giuseppe Bruno's personal cellar selections.

The Occasion

Engagements & Anniversaries

Corner banquette reserved, signed dessert plate, Champagne on arrival — every detail handled. Call ahead and we'll plan the rest.

The Setting

Madison Avenue, After Dark

A quiet stretch of 74th Street near The Met, the Frick, and Central Park. The perfect prelude — and the perfect after.

The Menu

Northern Italian, Made for Sharing

Hand-cut pasta, Mediterranean fish, dry-aged beef, and a dessert cart that's worth saving room for.

Reserve the corner banquette.
