Stopped here after watching a show. The service was good, drinks ok and food mediocre. The food was not as flavorful as expected. The servers were friendly and efficient and were very welcoming. It was good for a touristy hang. read more

Nizza was one of our favorite Italian restaurants until our last visit. We made dinner reservations for after the theatre rush and requested a quiet romantic table for our anniversary. David the manager ignored our open table request and sat us at a tiny table way too close to loud tables. Shortly after an acquaintance of David came in and he gave the couple what should've been the table we requested. Finally we met our server Toni who was perfunctory at best, obviously not having a good night and less than friendly. We tried to be in the moment and enjoy our dinner even though the quality was not up to their regular standards and the overpriced cocktails were half full. Then a bus person knocked over a glass of red wine which broke, shattered glass everywhere and stained my suede shoes! Mischa, the manager who took over for David tried to remedy the evening with a glass of champagne since I told him about our experience. Long story short, we will never return to Nizza nor recommend it. read more

I trusted Google reviews on this restaurant and it was a bad idea . The Google reviews are great , higher than Yelp. But Yelp is far more accurate. We were seated and out the door in less than 30 minutes , which to me says a lot about a great Italian restaurant ..: Pasta tastes like it had sat in a pot of water all night only to be heated with sauce and served . Bloated stale hard noodles for both of us. Vodka sauce , their specialty, made it edible at least. Service was super lacking . Spoke to take our order . Then checked on once after food was served by someone else. Never asked if we wanted drink refills or dessert. Perhaps our table wasn't "worthy" of her time since she spent plenty of time with older couples asking for them to review her and vote for her to win a free trip (yeh, we could hear you talking to others). I can't believe we wasted money and an evening at this establishment while in NYC, which is why I am trying to spare others. Just go to Olive Garden. It's better . read more

The food was pretty good! I think I would order a different entree if I went back. Service was great. The tiramisu might have been the best I've ever had, though. It was so good. read more

we were running late the day we went here so I looked at the online menu and I saw they had grilled octopus so I decided to order that. when we got there the server said they didn't have octopus anymore so instead I got the rigatoni alla vodka which didnt taste amazing but wasn't awful. this was dissapointing. read more

Nizza was an amazing Italian dinner! We drives to go here before seeing a broadway show and it was perfect. We were in a rush, however, the service was quick, the staff were friendly, and it was only a 10 minute walk to the theaters. The gnocchi was a must order and the truffle mushroom pizza was perfect. The Caesar salad and burrata were small but good appetizers. I hope to eat here again soon and have more time to take pictures! read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant after planning to go elsewhere for lunch, but there was a huge line at the place we were planning on going to so we started looking for other options. Thankfully this place turned out great as we were getting hungry lol... we got the capocollo for appetizer and a large sopressata pizza to share, along with some house wine. For dessert we got tiramisu and macchiatos. Everything was very tasty and filling. read more

Overall we had a wonderful meal. We started with their focaccia bread, arancini and meatballs al sugo. Both starters were good, but for someone who can't handle spice, the decorative sauce on each starter were spicy! I had the spinach and ricotta ravioli and was a little concerned when this picture came out. I was really worried it would be spicy, but it was not. It was really delicious! Looking back, we would definitely still order everything exactly the same and we would definitely go back. read more

Service was okay. Frito Misto was nothing to home about. Chicken Milanese was so dry, my throat felt parched just eating it. Pizza Margherita was ok. Bellinis were rather pedestrian. Pappardelle was decent. Ambiance wise inside tables are not too stable. read more

Was at Nizza for my second time. everything was great the first time, so I wanted to go again. The service was great Sebastian was our waiter. From appetizer to dessert everything was delicious. The restaurant has a bar you can eat at and comfortable dining room with outdoor seating. Friendly staff and walking distance to Broadway shows. Definitely will be one of my regular places to go to. read more

I haven't been here in years and I was happy to see that business was good. Stopped in recently after a matinee and sat at the bar. I am gluten free and decided to try the gluten free pizza on the menu. Sadly, it wasn't very good. Thick, chewy, and kind of tasteless. The Caesar salad though was on point! On my next visit will definitely try something different. read more

I came here for lunch on a weekend. It was completely adequate Italian food. The portions were a good size and the prices are pretty reasonable, but the taste was just okay, and the service was spotty. It's a very convenient place, however if you need to see a show or do something else in the Times Square area. read more

Good Italian food and great service. I enjoyed the sunday meat sauce and loved it. Very tasty

Was really looking forward to checking out their gluten free foods after hearing about it and having had the chance to catch a show on Broadway. It was cute and the staff was nice and they get big props for an entire gluten free menu and also because the host asked right away if we'd like one. The food itself, however was meh. We tried the calamari appetizer which was covered in a too thick, clumpy and awful breading they missed the mark with this. I've had significantly better gluten free fried calamari elsewhere. The marinara that comes with it however was a delight! It was the perfect amount and had a lot of great flavor! I also appreciated that they mixed in some zucchini and hot peppers so my guy could have something too ( he hates fish) which was unique. We shared a meatball pizza and it wasn't great compared to Keste's version. But the sausage flavor was outstanding and they gave nice chunks of it. I wish they'd work on the crust- if they van fix that we'd be back again and again for sure! It didn't feel cooked enough or something. The size was just right and so was the price for it. We also had the steak salad which I didn't love. The steak was hard to cut and it was too vinegary for my taste. I love it when places have gluten free bread and they do. But it was also too thick and doughy for me. The herbed olive oil was very good, but I'd like some aged balsamic To go with it. We had the cheesecake for dessert which was perfectly yummy. It was surprisingly packed even early on a Wednesday evening so reservations are highly suggested whenever you do go. Also- even with basically every table full inside and out, the bathrooms were spotless- which is a very, very good sign! Please work on your bread, breading and pizza recipes for gluten free folks and if so, this could easily be a 5 star place!! Will check out some pasta next time - with the marinara from my app and the sausage from the pizza we had it would be a dream I'm sure! Also- why not offer some eggplant and chicken parm? A separate fryer and some gluten free herbed breadcrumbs ( any supermarket has them) would be a nice touch! Meatballs too please:) Or a sausage and broccoli rabe!! Overall, thanks well done! read more

We were seated on a Sunday night without reservation, that's super great as usually you need a reservation in NYC, especially around Time Square (this gem close to TS on 9th Ave). Food is great, we had a kale salad, a delightful appetizer, and a 3-meat pasta, service was also very attentive and have great ambiance! read more

Tasty buuuut something was missing... I'm not a chef, but my tingly senses on my tongue were looking for a missing ingredient that could've as well been just salt. The Gnocchi's were pretty good since it had the cheese to add in some flavor, but still missing the salt. For the pappardelle genovese, it was good but dry. We did request some additional sauce on the side which helped moisten and enrich the plate a bit. We also got the Mushroom pizza which was the winner plate of the night! Extremely tasty, crunchy, 10/10. Service was great and the vibes were lovely. Will be coming back for more pizza, but will pass on the pasta for now! read more

I when to this restaurant for First time. I liked the decor and the music next us was a couple and other tables with some sailors, other table with a party of 8 outside yes they had more people because the weather was fantastic. Inside we were total of 5 tables. The service was very slow after waiting about 10 mins or more they came asked if we wanted tab water. Ok the water came waiting again for our ordered to be taken finally we got a very nice young lady. I told I wanted to ordered the pepperoni pizza but I noticed it had something which is very spicy and I cannot remember the name. I asked the waitress could they removed it she said No. Ok made other selection the sausage one had something spicy ok then I decided for meatballs one. I told her Im allergic to anything spicy. My son ordered a white pizza with arugula. The drinks came ordered the sangria with lemoncello tasted more red no lemon flavored. My son just lemonade with no ice the brought a small read more

The food was pretty good. And the service was very good. Tried the artichoke oreganata which was really good. The meatballs were Sicilian style with currants and pine nuts. The flavor is good but mine were a bit too salty. I tried the pasta special which was basically sausage and peppers over pasta. It was just ok. read more

So sorry to only leave two stars. Sat down outside and the server gave us menus. After she left the table I realized that the menus were covered in coffee. I brought them back inside and kindly asked for new menus. We originally asked for a dessert menu but they didn't give us one. I'm sorry to report that they had the absolute worst tiramisu I've ever had. It tasted weeks old. Honestly it's embarrassing they sold it for $9 a slice. Over saturated and tasted like the refrigerator. We ordered the tiramisu, two cappuccinos, one double espresso and a side of cream. We only got the dessert, one cappuccino and the double espresso. We had to ask for the rest of the items. Unfortunately, will not be back. read more

Wasn't crazy about the table we were seated at. We were basically at the front door and hostess wasn't friendly. It was just 2 of us so the table was very small. I get it space is limited but our dinner plates barely fit on the table. But I will say food was very good and we had a great waitress . My daughter had the chicken & potatoes (delish), i had the pepperoni pizza (which was enough for 2 people) also hot, fresh, and tasty. So for these reasons I would recommend checking this spot out for dinn read more

Arrived a little bit after 11a with literally one couple sitting at a table inside, was asked if we had a reservation, and after three or four minutes of assessing, whether or not we could be seated, we were seated, an hour later there was still 80% of tables available in the restaurant, staff going through the motions not the friendliest, regular pizza pretty good, although overwhelmed in pepperoni, gluten-free mediocre crust too thick overwhelms the pizza with minimal flavor, price is a little too high for pizza in New York read more

Delicious dinner! Went with a friend before seeing a Broadway show. We were seated immediately. She loved her pasta (the special) and I got the pollo al forno (amazing!!). The chicken was juicy on inside and crispy on outside. Panzanella salad was flavorful with onions, cucumbers, tomatoes and croutons. Tables were tightly packed close together but I liked the vibe here--friendly! Waiter checked in on us and we got our meals quickly! I'd definitely return here again!! read more

I came here about a month ago with my friend for lunch. The girl serving us was very friendly, seemed nicely chatty and also helped us moving out stuff from one table to an other when the sun was getting too intense for us. Food was amazing, we ordered asparagus, artichokes, and gnocchi. We loved everything (and those were the best artichokes I've tried in NYC!) They also offered us some limoncello, which I love (I'm Sicilian, it's a tradition for us) and I'm used to, but for my friend was a bit too strong. Very nice atmosphere, I'll definitely go back! read more

Wow. Where do I even begin. When I walked in they started by asking if anyone needed a gluten free menu (which I did) so that was amazing. Also the manager checked in a few times through the meal. The service was 10/10, the restaurant was so cute with great music and vibes. The food was probably one of the best meals I've had in my life. My friend who isn't gluten free and shared all my gluten free food said that it was better then most non gluten free Italian food she's had. Everything we ate just kept getting better. From the apps , to the pizza and pasta and the dessert and espresso martini. I could go on forever!! Will 100% be returning and can't recommend it enough!!!! read more

An absolute gem, and a great discovery in the theater district! I attended a birthday brunch at Nizza this past weekend, and it was a wonderful experience all around. We had a great table. The restaurant seemed very clean with a lovely design and a chic ambiance. The food was divine, and the staff was incredibly kind and gracious. I had the excellent calamari and the creamy polenta and eggs, which couldn't have been more perfect. We also shared a bunch of wonderful desserts, all excellent: tiramisu, cheesecake, and a decadent chocolate cake. Such a beautiful afternoon. Thank you Nizza! read more

I don't know if i want to thank them for being one of the only players open on New Year's Day.... or to share my incredibly bad service experience... We were sitting for 15 minutes before being discovered by a very distracted waitress who wouldn't write down our order but rather memorize it...i guess that is why she came back 25 minutes later to apologize and ask what was it that we had ordered??? One we did the number again... we still waited half hour to get our spaghetti... then she disappeared and i had to run around the restaurant chasing her down to ask for the check. Yeah... not very good service, that made me forget about the quality of the food. read more

Nizza - Papardelle.. just OK - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

a few things to consider: the service here is very good, the waiters were attentive and the food came out fast. our waitress was very pleasant. the food was almost bad. it was certainly edible. the bread was good, a little dry, for an italian restaurant i would expect better bread (it is free though) i got the mafaldine, which is summer squash pasta w/ mint pesto and pine nuts. i could not taste the pesto or the mint at all, the only indication it was the right dish was the color. it really just tasted like very oily/greasy pasta. the pine nuts were a very nice textural element, but in order for my food to have any flavor at all i had to douse it in chili flakes. my friends all enjoyed their meals, but i cannot say the same for mine. it seems very hit or miss. i tried the gluten free margherita pizza, which was decent (although the crust tasted storebough). the regular one looked very good. the cocktails were also hit or miss, there was a special elderflower spritz that was very good. the peach bellini was smooth but had no real flavor; the elderflower drink tasted more like peaches than the bellini did. overall, for the price you should look elsewhere for good italian food. save for the pizzas and one of the chicken dishes, everything was a single serving. in my opinion, this is not worth your money. read more

The photos look incredible, but the food doesn't live up to the hype. We started off with the burrata, which was the star of the night. Soft, creamy burrata, nice pesto and pepper accompaniment, and delicious focaccia. The margherita pizza was okay - very doughy - but the two entrees we had were both huge letdowns. The gnocchi was soft, mushy, and relatively bland despite looking nice with the charred cheese on top, and the rigatoni ala vodka was a bit too al dente (coming from someone who likes al dente) and had just a taste that something was a bit off - so the burrata and pizza ended up being the bulk of our meal. The decor is dated as well inside the restaurant. We were very excited to try Nizza based on the photos, but ultimately walked away disappointed (and still hungry) read more

Pretty awesome dining experience. Unfortunately, I have no pictures to document my experience . . . I was super hungry and pretty much vacuumed my branzino and meatballs. ;) As one can tell by the name, Nizza is a standard Italian place that specializes in pizza. I appreciate the fact that Nizza is a place for everyone. For example, the dress code of diners ranged from simple T-shirts and jeans to business suits. First, I have gotta say that the staff was amazing, especially our waitress Hope. She was pretty much on top of everything and handled the issue with one of our dining partners' dish very well. Note: the issue with the dish had nothing to do with Nizza. Unfortunately, I did not catch the names of our bartender and the manager, but they were very funny, entertaining, and friendly. We all enjoyed our meals and (more importantly) our cocktails. I definitely will visit Nizza if I'm looking for easy-breezy Italian options in Hell's Kitchen. read more

Have been to this restaurant before for brunch and loved it. This time we went for their gluten free menu and were not disappointed! The food was great, the service excellent and we absolutely loved the outdoor seating arrangement ! They have tables outside with heat lamps above , which actually keep you very warm and comfortable, even on an exceptionally cold day like today . The outside seating is not like other places where you essentially are outdoors but it is all enclosed , which in my mind defeats the whole purpose ! This is outdoors , with air flowing and effective heat. It was perfect! I will go again doe their good menu and great outdoor seating in cold weather!( inside is beautiful as well, with a cool bar, but we now prefer outdoors if possible) read more
