I wasn't sure how to categorise this place! It's a restaurant, but also a bar. It's not tapas, however I believe the food is best shared like tapas. Apparently meatball bars are all the rage in New York at the moment - and at first I was skeptical, but after trying this amazing food, I will be back again and again! I visited on a Wednesday night with my husband and another couple. I had been unable to make a booking (1) because they don't have a phone yet and (2) even when walking in earlier in the day, they said they could only take bookings for over 6 people. That sucked, as we had to wait 25 minutes for a table due to the restaurant being so busy, but the owner was extremely apologetic and treated us very well.

I had the pumpkin and ricotta meatballs in parmesan cream sauce. AMAZING. The best thing I've ever tasted (and good the next day too, as they let me have a doggie bag). Polenta chips and truffle scented focaccia were great for mopping up the sauce. I was also able to sample the gnocchi (delicious) and butter chicken meatballs (wow). The atmosphere is a bit loud, so great for a fun night out - probably not good for families at night time but probably great during the day.

I can't comment on the drinks menu as we were able to BYO for free, but when the liquor licence comes through this will stop.

Approximate cost: $25
