The restaurant opened July 15, 2009.[4] It is owned by brothers Giuseppe, Antonio, Cosimo, and Geraldo Bruno.[5][6][7][8]

In 2013, Zagats gave it a food rating of 26, the fourth-best in the East 70s.[3] That same year, a review in The New York Times described it as "one of the most civilized Italian restaurants to turn up anywhere in the city in the last few years."[1] The Michelin Guide described it as "a good reason to dress up and splurge".[10]
