    pepperoni slide and meat lovers pizza
    Hector R.

    I strolled in around 4ish pretty quite but was helped right away, the place is clean and the pizza was great! Def one of my favorites now when I come into the city and stay in or around midtown

    Libretto's is a great pizza place and definitely worth a visit. The service was fast and friendly. It is very comfortable with a good amount of seating They had a variety of pizzas sitting to order. I had a couple of slice of sausage. They were excellent. It has a thin, crunchy crust cooked to perfection. I also loved the sausage. Others in the party also really like their pizzas. Definitely worth a visit.

    Best BBQ Chicken Pizza I've ever tasted. I love everything about this place. Great atmosphere, fast service, kind employees, and a very nice dining experience. I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoys a good slice of pizza to come check this place out. 10 out of 10.

    NY pizza at its best!

    First dinner while in NYC! Hotel recommendation that was good! We flew up from NC and didn't eat lunch so we were STARVING when we got checked into the hotel. We had a pepperoni pizza, meatball parmesan hero with fries. WOW! Hot, fresh and delicious! NY pizza at its best! Really enjoyed it!

    Pepperoni Pizza

    I came in with my mom and sister on Christmas Eve while we were waiting for our reservation at another restaurant. We were really hungry, so we decided to stop in for a quick slice, and we were pleasantly surprised! It's a cozy spot with quite a few seating options. The staff is nice and quick to bring your food out. They had so many different pizza options! They also had pastas, salads, and soup. On our first day there, we each grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza and really enjoyed it. The crust was thin and had the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. We ended up going back for lunch the next day. That day, we tried the Margherita, white sauce, chicken pizza, and a soup. All of which were delicious. I'm not a native New Yorker, but in my opinion, this was some great NY style pizza!

    Chicken Chipotle and BBQ chicken
    Ritchie L.

    My favorite pizzeria in NY. Ambiance 5/5: Cozy spot that transports you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. TV playing, the smell of great pizza, subtle sounds from the back of house...it's magic. Service 5/5: quick and lively. The manager is a stand up guy! Food 5/5: Pretty much had everything but the alla vodka and chipotle chicken are my go-to.

    My boyfriend and I are locals who have been loyal to this spot for nearly two years. We bring our friends here and loved telling people about this spot. Unfortunately last night was my last time bringing my business here. My friends and I came for pizza after a night out. My two friends ordered garlic knots and two slices. I separately ordered one slice. The worker HANDED us our orders and we realized they accidentally gave us an order of garlic knots with my slice that I had not ordered. Out of courtesy I let them know that I had not ordered these. I expected them to just say it's on the house as my order is already IN MY HANDS. The worker REACHES OVER with a spatula and literally took out the garlic knots from the pizza box in my hands. He then asks me if I want to keep the marinara sauce that came with the knots. I absolutely said no. I cannot believe he had the idea to reach over and take food off of a customer's plate. If he wanted the garlic knots back that badly, request my pizza box back and go do that behind the counter. That is such cheap and dirty behavior and I am so shocked and disappointed that this behavior came from this establishment. We truly loved libretto's so much. Most of the workers here are very kind and we've come to even say hello to some of them. This review is not written out of anger, but sheer disappointment. So sad that I can no longer give business to this establishment as we truly were so loyal to this spot.

    Large pie with sausage and mushroom
    Essie L.

    Heard about how great the NY-style pizza is here so ordered a whole pie for dinner. It was okay, but nothing to write home about. The sauce was meh to be honest and there was not enough of it. I expected sausage meat when I ordered sausage but got cut slices of sausage.

    My co-workers love this place, so we came for a team lunch! Honestly, nothing beats New York pizza. They have a good lunch deal for a drink that's included, and two slices is a lot of food for me. I love sprinkling red chili flakes onto my pizza, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Mushroom Pizza

    Lovely place! Immaculate service and the best pizza I've had! We got mushroom pizza and it was so. Good. Would definitely recommend this spot to anybody. A great introduction to pizza in New York!

The menu has plenty of variety across pastas, seafood, and cocktails, with some unique dishes that made the experience memorable. The drinks were a highlight, and the seafood options stood out the most for me. My Tipsy Tayke: The Fragola Fizz was juicy, fruity, and refreshing. The Forever Summer was another standout, with the smokiness of the mezcal blending really well with the fruit flavors without overpowering them. Both are easy recommendations depending on whether you want something fruity or a little more complex. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Seafood Ravioli Unique, flavorful, and packed with different seafood flavors. The ravioli itself was delicate and had a tendency to fall apart, but the flavor made up for it. Standout: Calamari Crispy, seasoned, and enjoyable. It had a slightly chewy texture, but I still found myself going back for more. The Carpaccio wasn't necessarily for me texture-wise, but I really enjoyed the greens and dressing that accompanied it. The garnish felt intentional and helped bring the dish together. The Pappardelle came with plenty of sauce but could have used more flavor overall. The complimentary bread was also tougher and chewier than I prefer. Desserts: The Lemon Sorbet was easily my favorite dessert. Bright, refreshing, and packed with real lemon flavor. The Mango Sorbet was another refreshing option with a smooth tropical sweetness. The Panna Cotta Cheesecake leaned closer to a mousse in texture and was definitely on the sweeter side. I especially enjoyed it with the cherry, which helped balance everything out. Service: Warm and attentive throughout the meal, fitting the inviting atmosphere. Plates From My Visit: Calamari Carpaccio Seafood Ravioli Pappardelle Lemon Sorbet Mango Sorbet Panna Cotta Cheesecake Fragola Fizz Forever Summer In Conclusion: A warm Chelsea Italian spot with strong cocktails, unique seafood dishes, and refreshing desserts. The Seafood Ravioli was the highlight of the savory side, but whatever you do, save room for that Lemon Sorbet. Stamped by Elajas

The vibe and decor is pretty cool. Everything's a bit dimly lit to give off a nice date night vibe. We ordered a couple cocktails to start - the Andrea (for her) and the Desert Bloom (for me). Both were very refreshing and perfect for when we started our food. We split the VERDURE GRIGLIATE CON CAPRINO for our appetizer. This was perfect as we got nice veggies paired with the goat cheese. This was enough for both of us as we got a couple servings of the house bread. We then got to our main courses. While she got her seafood, I got the TORTINO DI MELANZANE. It didn't look like a big serving from the outside, but there was plenty of cheese to make it filling. All in all, very yummy food and we were done in about an hour. Can't expect anything more.

When we entered the restaurant and took the elevator up to the restaurant, we were delighted to find free wine provided for us to pour in the elevator. Admittedly, it was red wine, so not my favorite, and it did taste cheap, but still appreciated. To start off, we ordered the onion torta, focaccia, and smashed potatoes. The onion torta was surprisingly good and tasted like a form of french onion soup. As a focaccia enthusiast, the focaccia was fluffy and delicious. We also got the charred beans, carrots, ravioli, tagliatelle, ravioli, and trout to share. The charred beans were surprisingly the long beans and not the smaller ones we expected. However, they were very juicy and better than we thought they would be. The rigatoni resembled cacio e pepe with its pepperiness, the tagliatelle tasted like standard red sauce, but i did enjoy the ravioli and the ricotta inside. For dessert, we had the basque cheesecake which was alright, but I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake. Overall, we had a great time at Ci Siamo and I would definitely recommend ordering the focaccia and onion torta and we could have skipped the carrots, beans, trout, and tagliatelle.

I moved this to the side to try the pasta which was honestly forgettable. There simply was not enough basil pesto in the dish, the sauce fell flat on taste and seasoning was nearly absent. The side of broccoli rabe was also so bad and forgettable. The stems were tough to chew, there was no salt and not a single speck of garlic in this dish.

The interior was completely packed, and the noise level was high enough for my smart watch to complain. To sample a bit of everything, we shared two orders of focaccia, four pastas, and one dessert. HOUSE-MADE FOCACCIA - 10 Super bouncy with a bit of chew, this was probably the best focaccia I've ever eaten. It came generously drizzled with olive oil and alongside chopped peppers drenched in even more olive oil, which added a nice little kick. We highly recommend starting with this. TAGLIATELLE - 27 Out of the four pastas, this was my absolute favorite. I love the thin yet chewy texture of the tagliatelle, and the bolognese sauce was rich and hearty. Finished with just the right amount of Parmigiano, both the pasta texture and sauce were sheer perfection. PICI 'CACIO E PEPE' - 23 This was such a simple pasta, yet so delicious. It was incredibly creamy and cheesy, with hints of fresh black pepper flavor that blew standard at-home black pepper grinders out of the water. Despite it being the simplest pasta of the night, I enjoyed it immensely. RIGATONI - 32 This pasta was simple yet slightly innovative, featuring sausage paired with a broccoli-based pesto. There was a slight bitterness that was polarizing among our group. While this wasn't my favorite pasta, I appreciated the creativity. PERCIATELLI NERO - 35 This dish packed in more components than just pasta and sauce: plenty of crab, tomatoes, and crispy breadcrumbs on top. However, the combination wasn't very memorable. None of the flavors really stood out, and it was my least favorite pasta of the night. OLIVE OIL CAKE - 14 Served with a pile of golden raisins and fancy whipped cream, this ended up being a bit of a miss. The raisins were a bit too sweet, and the cake's texture was uneven -- some bites were soft and moist, while others felt dry. A couple of others in my group also felt the same way. Overall, I'd give L'Artusi a 4.5/5; it was mostly hits with a couple of misses. The pasta portions are quite small. Since each dish is primarily carbs and sauce, I'd imagine you'll likely need an appetizer or a pasta and a half to leave full. Still, I'd definitely come back for the focaccia, tagliatelle, and the cacio e pepe.

Instead of simply confirming it, she made a comment like "you should know if you've been here before," which was unnecessary and pretty rude for such a basic question. It wasn't a busy‑restaurant kind of tone--it was just attitude. Not exactly the first impression you expect from a place that tries to present itself as polished. A quick, polite confirmation would've gone a long way, but instead it felt dismissive and unwelcoming. For a restaurant with their reputation, having someone speak to guests like that over a simple call really doesn't help the image.
