- JJacquelineVIPNew York City •26 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoEverything was incredible! We have had focaccia all over the world and this was on a whole other level. We were there for brunch and we have never had a pancake like we had there, the side order of mushrooms we will crave forever. We were supposed to go to a different restaurant tomorrow for brunch and we are trying to get back in there!! More infoFossettaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lower East Side•4.7

- GGaryCalifornia Central Coast •3 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoArrived for an early dinner and waited to be seated. Twice we were told to hold on and we would be seated by two different fellows. Meanwhile two other couples walked in and were immediately seated by a different greeter. When it was about to occur again , I had to interject that we had been waiting and were there first and had been waiting. It was as if we were invisible. Staff needs to be aware and to communicate. It’s a cash only restaurant and the food is good, but overall, I knocked it down for this lack of attention.More infoLil' Frankie'sPrice: Moderate• Italian• East Village•4.6
