Classy, refined, and farm fresh is how I would define this tasteful West Village Restaurant.

This American Tavern has a nice buzz to the air, catering to a bit of an older, sophisticated crowd. The open doors and windows adds to the pleasant ambiance.

Oh, and the food rocked. This was a special salmon salad with Asparagus, Ricotta cheese and a light lemon dressing…delectable.

The pappardelle with soft shell crab was cooked perfectly. Very well made; unique dish.

Excellent neighborhood spot. Among the freshest Italian I’ve recently had. Did I mention dollar they had DOLLAR OYSTERS on Mondays !!!! Not sure if it is a regular Monday thing, but we had a dozen oysters and 2 special pastas for less than 30$ each.

I’m told the chef only speaks Italian-this makes it Authentic in my book.

My friend Justin and I ordered a few pasta’s and picked the perfect dishes. The rock shrimp zucchini with fettuccine was cooked to perfection. The tomatoes and basil made it a nice summer dish.

The crab meat spaghetti with lemon sauce was also killer.

Overall, was very impressed.
