Talk about this Meetup

    The ambiance was good, the bread was excellent, the olive oil was of good quality, the wine very nice for jug wine, the mini pastries were first rate and the espresso was good. In the final analysis it's not what you say but how you say it. I've listed those things which were positive and left out items that deserved no comments. By the way, the company was great and the conversation intelligent. So Nancy pulled off a nice first meetup, which attracted some very nice people - Thank You!

       Good food great people. Very well organized! 
    •  While the wine was tasty and free flowing, and the conversation was sparkling, the food and the service was less than desired. The salad wasn't bad, (how can you ruin salad?) and the bread was good, but the entres just didn't make it.. I'm sorry, but I just wasn't impressed. However, overall, it was an enjoyable evening with great friends and good conversation. Thanks to Nancy and Raffaelle for setting this up. Maybe I'll try some of the other restaurants in the neighborhood.. 
    •  I enjoyed the evening with great companions a very nice dinner wine and good conversation Thanks to .Nancy for organzing a fun event 
    • Joel & Jaclyn (+1 guest)
       Good food, wine and conversation with a really great friendly group of people. It was a pleasure making the trip to the Bronx from Orange County, NY! Hope to meetup with these people again. J&J 
    •  Food took forever to be served. The meetup started at 7:30 but it was close to 9 before we were served. One of the waiters at times was crude. The pasta was tasty and cooked correctly but the veal I had was virtually tasteless. I would have rather spent a couple of more dollars to eat well. The experience was sufficient for me to say I would not return. 
    •  Food was good and they took good care of us. The company was great and we had a lot of laughs.
