This is a hip and casual Italian restaurant in the East Village with good food, service, and decor. Went recently for lunch with my wife and we enjoyed the freshly baked bread basket, a salsiccia appetizer, gnocchi, and a crispy chicken panino. The salsiccia was especially delicious and I would highly recommend it -- a warm dish of pork sausage, beans, and cabbage. The restaurant is fairly large and has a number of seating options so it looks like it can accommodate small to large groups easily.
