Saggio - Washington Heights…read more Such a walkable neighborhood that is Washington Heights. There are so many diverse bars and restaurants to choose from. And with so many options it easily allows for bar hopping. During this Summer of 2025, our large group concluded our mid-afternoon adventures at Saggio, a Southern Italian restaurant. The service received was prompt. The drinks were good. And as far as food, I heard some of the desserts ordered hit the spot. On the other hand, my simplistic food choice wasn't on par with everyone else. I wasn't in the mood for dessert, pasta or a salad, as nothing initially appealed to me. In the end, I chose a pairing of French Fries and Chicken Liver Pâté on Crostini. The simple yet odd combo would've worked but the french fries were under done and cold. And the chicken liver pâté looked inedible, as most pâtés sometimes do. Granted it tasted fair and from what I recall the pâté may have had a hint of Anise mixed in or something similar. Despite my disappointing food choice, we all had a great time concluding our afternoon bar hopping. If we end up stopping at Saggio again, I'll be certain to try something else. 3.5

Plating tricks are the ugly truth about kitchens. The more they're practiced the more your food…read morewill be a facsimile of cooked cuisine and simply pre-prepped food instead. The contorni here are just that. It says roasted but the beets aren't, they're boiled and precooked and chopped at that from a plastic bag. No effort was made to make them taste any different than that either. The broccoli was similarly boiled and well, that's what they do in England but this is a restaurant calling itself Italian. The garlic was burnt and the boiled broccoli was smeared in vegetable oil -olive oil or butter would have been the possibilities for the pan but this broccoli was never in a pan. The lasagna which is normally a winner leaked a lot of water into a puddle on the plate and that happens when it's frozen but not fully thawed and reheat din a hot enough oven. The Riesling was a bit sour but the some of the others are undrinkable. A quar which in Europe would be 2 and a half glasses in a little pitcher is 1 and a third glasses in a curious tiny vase, so order two individual glasses because there are no savings on offer. Which is odd as wine is an inflation anomaly - a decent bottle runs 12 to 20 dollars at a wine store and did 20 years ago too. For the prices these cheap wines are very bad value though some of the reds are less disastrous. The pizza is great and I have no complaints about it but the word is out and the delivery guys are humming at the door through diner bumping into the back of your chair in a small huddle if as we were you are seated there. It's a descent going down at this nice little place. It is a bar that serves decent snacks, but can microwaving and shrinkfaltion be far off? One suspects not, unless they hire some sous chefs who took a 12 week course at a culinary school - but they won't. There's no chef here.

This is a local gem that is well worth the trek uptown. My Florentine friend, who just moved to…read moreNYC, recommended it and I was very impressed. He even spoke with the servers to study the wine selection before he chose one for us. The pizzas were considerably big for personal pie and I was happy. I got the diavola and my friend got the vongole. They also do gluten-free pizzas! *Make sure you leave space for dessert. We had the creme brulee and it was perfection! I think they have another restaurant in midtown, but I liked how cozy this one was. It was a warm and cozy spot for a winter's eve.

I am a pizza lover and I must say the pizza and sandwich I got from Niccolo Pizzeria was delicious…read more I decided to try the Firebee pizza which had mozzarella, Italian sausage and Mike's Hot Honey. It was very good. It had some sweetness to it which I love. I got the chicken perm sandwich, which was good as well, full of fresh mozzarella. I like that the pizzeria offer cauliflower pizza crust, gluten free options and plant based vegan cheese. I also had to try their garlic knots, which I like, and the tomato sauce was fresh. They also have dessert options, I got the Tiramisu, and the Gelato is a must have. They have different seasonal flavors. This is one of my favorite pizzeria, very nice owner. And if you are a student, educators, healthcare providers, first responders or postal workers, you can get a discount. The pizzeria is a good size and there are sitting inside and outside.

My husband ordered gluten free pasta to go. Once we got home it was definitely NOT gluten free…read more Person taking the order didn't pay attention, so we called to let them know our $30 pasta order was wrong and she asked if I wanted to talk to the manager, so I said yes. I heard him say as she tried to give him the phone: "Are they on mute?" He never got on the phone, just told her to say, "they can reorder and pay for it but we won't refund them." I didn't ask for a refund. He could have said bring the pasta back and I'll give you the correct order. But the manager didn't even have the decency to say it himself. If the owner sees this, your manager isn't doing his job with helping or talking to customers. He's letting your hostess deal with his job. He's weak sauce and so is the $30 pasta I just threw away. So anyone who has an allergy or wants the order they asked for, TRIPLE CHECK this place. This review is about service not the food because I couldn't even eat it.

The restaurant was full on a Friday night and music flowing. Vibes! Our waiter did a great job highlighting different items on the menu. For starters, we ordered the baked little neck clams and fried mozzarella. Delicious and each item had a lovely texture. We submitted our main orders about 15 min later. My family ordered the penne funghi then added chicken breast. I ordered the margherita pizza. Everything was fantastic including my drink!! Looking forward to trying other authentic dishes in the near future.

Last night, as usual, we ordered a large (18-inch) Margherita, which is $22+ and comes with fresh mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil. For a 12-inch, it's $16+ and for a 16-inch, it's $19+. The crust is quite soft, so we like to reheat it on the stove on low heat for a bit to make it a little crispier before we eat.
