Gruesomely overpriced for the quality AND quantity of food served from the menu. Tortellini were decent, but the so called "whole" portion should definitely be larger than fitting into the palm of my hand for $22 price tag (for take-out). Potentially decent pesto chicken pasta was dominated by overflowing amount of olive oil and due to that became inedible. Pizzas displayed in the window were unmarked (that shouldn't be too much of a task, specially that most of the traffic these days is walk-in) and we had to ask for the clarification of the ingredients for most of them, that had veggies and/or various meats on them. We asked for a cajun-chicken one, which was the last slice on the tray, and got one with corn and bacon only! Nothing like what we saw in the window when ordering. With the tip the bill ended up to $77 for two miserable portions of pasta, 4 slices (2 per portion) of pizza and 3 bottles of flavoured sparkling water. I've been to NYC many times, ate well and not so much, but this name puts a stain on anything New York. Sorry, this customer and two other people who ate with me will not be returning customers, although we live and hike in the area.
