    Honest review: The food was average overall - the pizza was decent, but the drinks were below average. The seafood pasta, in particular, was not very appetizing, and it had a noticeable seafood odor. The service was okay, and there were plenty of performances (like flat bread cutting on pasta or big cheese mixing for risotto or pasta). The ambiance was definitely good and made for a pleasant atmosphere. I'd give overall 2.5 experience

    The best kept lunch secret. They have a three course meal for $31. When you need a break from work or shopping pop in before the dinner crowds come. They give you numerous options to satisfy any palette. I chose a healthy option but when it came for desert I chose sweet in lieu of an Expresso. In hindsight I should have gotten both! The ambiance was bright and inviting. It transported me from the hustle and bustle of nyc to an island in Venice. A sweet exscape. The food comes quick and the service memorable.

    I love the sunning restaurant. It was such a great experience. They have weekly jazz that you have to check out. It really added to the atmosphere of the restaurant that's already beautiful. The food was absolutely delicious. They have a lot of classic Italian dishes, but everything is elevated. This is perfect for a very romantic date night or a classic New York City experience.

    Stopped in with visiting NYC. We were greeted and seated The risotto is made with the "Rolls Royce of rice". The seafood pasta is prepared tableside and is delicious. Great pizza. The wheel of Reggiano Parmesan completes a fun and delicious service We will return

    La Piazza is a newly opened Italian restaurant that is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. It encompasses two floors, has beautiful decor, delicious food, and exemplary service. I appreciated how the owner visited each and every patron and ensured that everyone was comfortable and content. Their description states it perfectly....La Piazza, where contemporary design meets classic Italian warmth. We started with the Insalata di Piovra (Octopus Salad). This salad was exquisite. I enjoyed how the octopus was thinly sliced, accompanied by tomatoes, black olives, celery, berries, and a lemony citrus oil. This starter is highly recommended and is one of their best sellers. For our entree, we shared the Pizza Napoletana. This was just as good as the appetizer and I didn't miss the cheese or basil. The ambiance of this restaurant is very relaxing, inviting, and each customer table is conveniently set apart from the other(s). Welcome to NYC, La Piazza. Thank you for treating your guests like family and enjoy your well deserved success.

    We found La Piazza on Yelp and their 5 Stars are spot on. The pizza was absolutely delicious! We ordered three and didn't leave a crumb! The desert gifts made our day! Thank you SO much, La Piazza!!! We will definitely be back!

    The Scarlet Vetter says.....just wow. Some of the best Italian cuisine we have had in, well, forever. The service was bar none. Attentive, but not too much. Just right. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. We ordered a high end bottle of Brunello and a Greek Salad to share to start (I know, Greek at an Italian establishment? But it had a decided Italian flair in the flavorful dressing). The server, Noufel, asked if he could split the salad for us and serve us. A very nice touch! He brought warm fresh lightly spiced focaccia (complimentary) to the table. I then ordered the Spaghetti Cacio de Pepe with shaved truffle. It was finished tableside in a huge Parmisan Cheese round, that had been carved out in the center. As they swirled the pasta in the round they scraped up shards of parm into the pasta. Then the truffle was fresh shaved over the top of the pasta, once plated. It was beautifully presented and just YUMMY. I also ordered a side steak, medium rare, pre-sliced, as I wanted some intense protein. I figured my hubby could partake as well and we were starving as we had nothing to eat all day. The hubby ordered the Lasagne Bolognese. What. Amazing. Food. The Lasagne was distinctly tomatoey and rich and nicely presented. Not salty like many Bolognese sauces. The Steak was melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked to my requested temperature. Since it was its own separate entree it came with delicious whipped mashed potatoes, seared cauliflower, broccoli, etc. Totally an indulgent, sumptuous meal. But oh, the desserts! And..... delicious rich foamy coffee and expresso!! My husband had the Tiramisu, and I ordered the Italian Whipped Ricotta cheesecake. Literally the most delicious dessert I have ever had. Ever. The owner is a chef in his own right, although he had another chef in the kitchen too. The owner, Alessandro, is from Italy and has his own cookbook which features the cheesecake recipe. He was kind enough to let me snap a picture of it and the book, which I share with you all, my lovely yelpers! We were treated to complimentary glasses of lemoncello as well after dinner! The price for food was very, very reasonable for NYC standards, or, frankly, otherwise. I really splurged on the wine, which put the total bill up quite high. But I would do it again on a heartbeat! Run, don't walk, to this gastronomic experience!

    We had a party of 8 and were thrilled to get last minute reservations after our broadway play. The welcoming and cozy ambiance started as we walked in the door and were greeted by a lovely hostess. The waiter and manager were helpful, friendly and proficient. Our dinners were all delicious, including scrumptious Chicken Marsala and Margarita Pizza (just the best!) Two of us asked for a mocktail and were not disappointed by the bartender's yummy cherry and pineapple concoction. The deserts were large portions including a tiramisu and chocolate gelato (best to split one!) Our leisurely Venetian dining experience was just perfect for our last night in New York City. Thank you La Piazza!

    Pathetic scammy restaurant. We saw their $10 Aperol Spritz Happy Hour promo on a Sunday and decided to try it. The blonde hostess sat us down immediately without saying a single word about restrictions. The waiter came, we asked for regular tap water - apparently too honest for them, because they charged us for bottled water anyway. When the bill came out, it showed $20 per Aperol Spritz instead of $10. We asked, and the hostess smirked and said, "Oh, happy hour is only at the bar... you didn't know that?" Obviously not, because neither she nor the waiter bothered to tell us while eagerly seating us in their empty restaurant. Honestly, this place feels like it survives by scamming clueless customers rather than serving decent drinks or food. If you want to be tricked into paying double for a mediocre experience, come here. Otherwise, avoid this pathetic excuse for a restaurant at all costs. Attaching pictures of the happy hour sign, our receipt, and their embarrassingly empty restaurant.

    I had such a fun experience at See No Evil Pizza. The pizza flavors were incredibly inventive…read more(definitely not your standard slice) and everything we tried felt thoughtfully put together. The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

    I'm not sure why this place has made it onto so many lists, but it was pretty mediocre all-around…read more In other circumstances I might have found the colocation with the subway charming, but the space is rather cramped and hectic - to say, I was hoping the space would be something to overlook for the sake of the food. To start with the good: the arancini were perfectly passable, and the Sicilian pie was enjoyed by all. I would describe it as more of a Detroit style actually, with a super crispy crust and nice textural contrast. On the other hand, we did not enjoy the seasonal vegetable pie or the nepo pie. I generally really like this sort of no-cheese, umami-heavy pizza, but the nepo was so salty! I'm not sure what specific ingredient was missing, but missing it was. My hopes for a recreation of the rossa pie I enjoyed at Farina prior to their closure were dashed. As for the vegetable pie, the vegetables tasted like the frozen veggies one might find in what was once marketed as a "TV dinner". It was a shame, since the sauce of the white pie was otherwise pretty good.

The Regina Margherita with the grape tomatoes melted in my mouth the flavor was sensational. You must try the Pere & Noci salad along with your pizza, it peas, exquisite‼ Giorgia Caporuscio, an acclaimed and world champion pizzaiola who has earned international recognition for her authentic Neapolitan pizza, is behind the beloved Don Antonio restaurant. Located at 309 West 50th Street in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, the casual eatery has an extensive list of pizzas. Don Antonio has over 30 types of Neapolitan pizzas, and the menu is a little bit daunting at first due to so many options, but even the pickiest eater will find something they'll want to eat. To top that off, Caporuscio recently debuted a brand new pizza tasting menu that features a curated lineup of never-before-seen pizza napoletana, and seven varieties of pizza fritta (fried pizza). Lastly, the entire pizza menu is now available gluten-free. With vast offerings, they are ambitious, and every dish is outstanding.

Beautifully pillowy crust with a fiery char, and there's a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity from the tomato and savoriness from the pesto. We were curious about the white pizzas so we tried the norma and that one was nice as well with a lot of textures from the eggplant and tomato. Personally prefer the margarita as it seems to be a more well-rounded pizza and the tomato just can't be missed. It was pretty packed inside when we got there and took the bar seating, so would probably recommend a reservation for larger parties (2+) on evenings. Definitely one of my top neopolitan pizza spots in NYC!

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!

We ended up skipping the appetizers and getting a chicken parmigiana and a half order of the rigatoni vodka! It was just enough for us. The chicken parmigiana was just right. It's their star and we can see why. The chicken was breaded well and dressed in the rich sauce and cheese. The breading was not overdone and the chicken was moist and tasty. The complimentary bread was helpful in mopping up the sauce. It was my wife's favorite for the night The rigatoni was my favorite and I regretted only getting the half order.
