YUM! This was such a good spot to stop by. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I unfortunately had to share the gnocchi, but next time no sharing over here! Calamari was crunchy and cooked to perfection. The salad, even though it was simple ingredients, the vinegrette just married everything together so we'll. And Pizza, cooked to perfection. Everyone was so friendly, food came out fast. The place is a nice e size and they have a giant screen. Great for game days! read more

Walked into a bar seat on a Friday night, not too busy or crazy but service in general lacked. The bartender took a while to take my order but was attentive when available. Food was just okay, the pizza I ordered was a regular menu item with the addition of prosciutto. I could have definitely saved my money and gone elsewhere but i didnt based on s friend recommendation. Not worth a $30 pizza and just okay service read more

NYC is full of pizza and Ribalta does a decent job, but not great. It's certainly speedy, and they have a lot of options, but it's not Lucali's or Una Pizza Napoletana. As a matter of fact I had a better pizza at Upland the same day I had this pizza. The vibes in the restaurant feel chaotic. I'm not sure what it is, but the design isn't amazing. It's not where you want to go for date night, it's also not where you want to go for family night, it's also not where you want to go with friends. It's just a vibe that doesn't have a real place - the service feels rushed, the food is rushed, and the prices don't match the personality of the restaurant at all. My favorite thing served to us was the Carbonara, it was actually great - unfortunately the salads were horrible, and the pizza was good good enough. Wouldn't suggest it if you're in NYC and have other options. read more

Lots of pizza options. We got the pizza in pala (half commune and half Norma). It was plenty of pizza for 2 people. The commune though was quite cheesy. Great ambiance. Rounding up from 3.5 for the service and atmosphere (great place to watch FIFA!) read more

Came here on the weekend for dinner for a party of 4 and ordered 1 appetizer, 2 pizzas, and 1 pasta as our party only consists of 2 adults and 2 kids. The zucchine scapece was nicely fried, garlicky and balanced well with the vinegar so it didn't feel too heavy. The pasta in the paccheri alla genovese was al dente, the sauce was hearty and flavorful. We ordered the margarita and carbonara pizzas. The crust was soft, elastic and chewy and we all particularly enjoyed the carbonara which has a great balance of salty and creamy flavors. We also ordered their tiramisu for dessert, which was quite good and authentic but it was not worth $16. The only complaint is that the portion size is very small and quite pricey for the amount of food you get. Our server was friendly and our food came out quite fast. Overall, food was good but it's quite overpriced given the small portion size. If I were to go again, I would just order a pizza for myself (as I saw what's what most people do) and skip the rest of the options on their menu. read more

If you're in the New York area, you'll quickly understand that there are a lot of styles of pizza to choose from. Obviously the iconic is the New York style thin crust crunchy well done pizza. However, if you'd like to compare it to the roots of where pizza came from, you might wanna try Naples style pizza. It's the closest thing to pizza you'd find on the streets of Naples Italy in New York City. They even have a certificate of authenticity that they cook Naples style with a brick oven that uses over 1000° to cook their pizzas in under two minutes. All fresh ingredients, hand roll dough and fresh cheese. This is the kind of pizza that you wouldn't pick up but slide right onto the plate. You may even want to use a knife and fork because the dough isn't as crunchy so you either love it or you hate it but it's definitely worth a try if you've never had It but the tomato sauce alone and the cheese make it well worth it to try even once. I will say that this is a very nice sitdown spot that doesn't break the bank for you to have other items besides the pizza like fried calamari some drinks and just a nice place to even bring family or friends, including children as they have tables for large groups. read more

Girls night out. The place looked nice, except the tables are so close to each other the staff kept bumping into my chair when they were passing and they were going back and forth a lot. Also the men in the table next to me had long legs he kept extending towards my table and kicking my bag where I had my laptop - super annoying!!! I had drink called clover club. Was so delicious I had two but for $20 each there was VERY little alcohol! The only thing that I loved besides my company was the black truffle gnocchi. At a price point of $38 - that at least was worth every penny. Apparently pizzas were good too - two of my friends had the brigante and the capricciosa and they said they were satisfied. read more

It was girls night at Ribalta and I'm ultimately glad we came. It's quite cozy in here, so it was great for a snowy, winter day. The staff here was great. They were kind, attentive, and spoke some basic Italian with us and since I'd recently came back from Italy, this made me so happy. We ordered the calamari ($25) and fried flower zucchini ($24) to start and were happy with both. The zucchini had a nice, creamy mozzarella inside and the calamari was crispy with a great sauce (aioli?) that came with it. I did, however, feel that it was a bit expensive for what we got. The brigante pizza ($26) was next and it was good! It had fior di latte, salame, and a spicy oil (which I didn't really taste). The crust was a bit flimsy, so it kind of fell apart in my hands-but the taste matters more anyway, and it was great :) read more

My sister and I came here because this is ranked #19 on the World's Top 50 Pizza list. We made a reservation on OpenTable and there were plenty of spots available. The vibe is modern chic, all the staff and waiters are Italian with excellent service. We decided to get the pizza for two with Proscuitto di Parma. The ingredients were mind blowingly good- Fior de late bufalo straight from Italy- their chili oil tasted amazing and very high quality. The pizza itself however is not the traditional Neopolitan style crust and the bigger one is very thick. Perhaps it was because we did not order the round one. read more

Not the best Neapolitan style pizza I've ever had, but quite solid. The classic margherita was just as it should be - maybe could have used a teensy bit more tomato to offset the chew and salt of the dough. The Nerano with thin coins of fried zucchini was a somewhat odd combo but reasonably tasty too. I don't know why I need to keep saying this so often these days but one of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants don't list prices on their online menus. It costs virtually nothing to update numbers on a website. Ribalta, you serve pizza and pasta. I can't fathom what sort of pretension you're trying to achieve here. read more

I really enjoy the pizza, it's among the better Neapolitans I have had in NYC. The pricing is out of whack though, everything is very expensive and it's gotten worse. $34 chicken parm is absolute insanity as is the pricing for their sides and desserts. I have no doubt they lose money with their exorbitant pricing because I used to regularly order sides like the Brussels sprouts when they were more reasonably priced. Desserts that are almost $20 and extremely small portions are also just... do people actually waste money on this? I hope they don't decide to make their pizzas all in the 30s almost 40 bucks because I would have to stop being a customer and I really like the Borbone. read more

Came for lunch and ordered from their lunch special menu - salad and roni pizza. The salad was a bit boring as it only had arugula and a few cherry tomatoes, some big slices of parm cheese, and their vinaigrette dressing. It was ok but def too much arugula and not much of anything else. The pizza came out hot and fresh, but was regular neapolitan tasting pizza. There was not a good flop on the pizza. It kind of just fell apart when I held it. Service was good and attentive for the most part. The pizza took longer than I expected for it to come out after the salad. Staff was very nice and bathroom was clean. Ambiance was clean, open, and modern. I would come back but not needing to anytime soon. read more

I chose Ribalta because it is AVPN certified Neapolitan pizza. I had a reservation that turned out to not be necessary. I started with the Zucchini Scapece (Zucchine with white wine vinegar, green market mint and garlic) appetizer. I ate every bite of it. Impossibly thin sliced zucchini served at room temperature. I'd eat this everyday. I chose the Brigante (Imported fior di latte, salame, spicy oil) Pizza. It's very good and everything about it was correct but my overall experience was off tonight. The service was slow. The waiter was disinterested and not even remotely attentive and I tried to pay with cash but they didn't have change. It was fine but it's NYC and there's lots of good pizza. read more

What a very cool place! An incredibly upscale pizza place. Or a sports bar with a full bar. Or a special occasion Italian place. I think it's all those things. But I went because they have gluten-free pizza and vegan cheese. And the photos, which you can see, the GF pizza looks very close to the regular pizza. That never happens. It's usually have the size, half the thickness, and it's still fairly rare to find vegan cheese. And you know what? It was really good! I got a white pie with shrimp, mushrooms and broccoli rabe. Don't judge! It was great. It was also $44. You read that right. GF is not cheap Man! My companion's regular pizza was $30. Also, NOT CHEAP! We had 2 personal pizzas, 2 apps and the bill was $120. That was lunch. So, I'm not going every week. But I'll go again! It lasted 2 meals. read more

The eggplant appetizer here is absolutely top notch. I don't know what they did to that eggplant, but it tastes like it spent a long weekend at a very luxurious campfire. The pizza is killa! Thecrust is great, the toppings are balanced, and the whole thing disappears from the table faster than anyone wants to admit. It's the kind of dish where everyone says, "I'll just have one piece," and then suddenly we're all pretending not to notice the last slice while slowly inching toward it. If I had one critique, it's that the portion feels emotionally smaller than it should be. You start eating it and immediately realize this should have been ordered in multiples. One for the table is a rookie mistake. But genuinely -- fantastic dishes. But that eggplant-dayummm...Smoky, flavorful, and the kind of appetizer that makes you reconsider your entire relationship with eggplant. read more

Came here for lunch and was welcomed by the host. Super great vibe, welcoming and sweet. It was a tiny wait as the restaurant was buzzing with people. We ordered fried zucchini flower, pesto gnocchi, a mushroom pizza, and tiramisu with decaf cappuccinos. The fried zucchini flower potion was so tiny! When it came out I thought they brought the wrong order. BUT they were so delicious, I'd order again. I'd rate it 4/5 The pesto gnocchi was a star. Saucey, flavorful, creamy, loved it. 5/5 for sure Sadly the pizza was really disappointing. It's soupy and falls apart in the middle. The flavor is mid too. I can't imagine the other ones are any better unless you get the no sauce pizza. 1/5 Tiramisu was great but the enormous cappuccino cup threw me off. Very American portion lol. If you love coffee I guess it's for you! 4/5 Overall awesome experience. I just wouldn't order pizza next time. Would love to try their pasta! read more

If you're in Union Sq and need affordable eats without a reservation, Ribalta's got the space and menu to satisfy your needs. We enjoyed a quick, hearty dinner here before watching Wicked. The Madrilena was one of the better "white" 'zas I've tried, and the classic Margherita Rossa didn't skimp on sauce or basil. My Mafaldine Al Ragù Napoletano was perfectly cooked and chock full of hearty red meat. I rarely see mafaldine paired with ragu in the city, so get this dish for the novelty alone. read more

I usually don't like pizza, but the pizzas at this place were amazing and really authentic. We asked our waitress to choose a meaty pizza for us, and the Madrilena was fantastic! The Stracciatella just melted in my mouth, and the flavor was perfect - not too salty. However, the branzino my partner ordered was a bit underwhelming. Our group loved the chicken parm. The service was attentive and fairly efficient, especially considering we were a party of 6. We were also given a section with our own table, which allowed us to enjoy some privacy. Cocktails were pretty expensive though at $18-20...but it wasn't at the speakeasy level. read more

The kitchen here is very good with food allergies, and so accommodating. I was at a group dinner And our waiter was able to tell me which dishes were and were not safe for me, and went back to the kitchen several times to confirm. The pizza dough here is divine, very soft, crispy and slightly chewy. There is a sesame cross contact risk with the dough, but me and another sesame allergic friend were able to eat it safely. The inclusivity here is next level- for dessert, a course I usually have to skip, my waiter went back to the kitchen twice to find a safe alternative. He suggested bringing out a bowl of fruit, which was so good and so kind read more

This place is so hit or miss. I've come before and loved it but when I came tonight it was such a disappointment. Hostess with half pink hair is so rude. So happy we got a nice server. Had him before and he's always great. Food tonight wasn't good. Crocchè was cold, the cheese inside hadn't even melted, it was hard. Parmigiana didn't taste good- such a weird (and bad) smoky flavor. The pizza wasn't great either. I ended up giving the majority of mine to a homeless guy in the street so I felt good about that. The staff just seemed confused and all over the place. I guess the kitchen was too because based on tonight I wouldn't come back. I really have had good experiences here but tonight certainly not one of them. If you know Italian, speak it. I heard the lady talking in Italian about us so I answered her in Italian then she stopped. Thanks to my dad for being from Italy so I could whip out the language read more

Great Neapolitan pizza. The crust and ingredient were high quality. Pizza size slightly larger that standard NYC individual slices (something to keep in mind as we didn't realize that and end up over ordering). Classes DOC pizza ended up being our favorite (we also had Ribalta which was tad salty and the spicy salami one) This place will be great to go with kids or to get together with friends as it doesn't have much of a vibe (in a good way). It's a more casual authentic Italian place that didn't get invaded by influencers and you don't feel rushed. Would definitely come back. read more

There are only 2 pizza place in NYC that are members of the "Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana" - Ribalta and Song E Napule.

It's chewy and pillowy (not as good as Song E Napule's dough though). The pizza thin is very thin and sloppy exactly the way it should be, doused in fresh tomato sauce, fior di latte that's soft and moist, and lots of delicious spicy salame! I really enjoyed this sloppy mess, finished the entire pie myself 正宗的拿破崙披薩！餅皮圈一開始是微脆的，吃下去鬆軟中帶嚼勁，很不錯！不過我還是覺得Song E Napule的餅皮更上一層樓，更濕潤Q彈更有香味。酸甜的番茄醬，加上滿滿的起司和辣肉，好滿足！ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Will I be back?

My sister has been wanting me to try this place ever since she heard it was tanked in some top 20 pizza spots in the world list. We made an opportunity to come out as part of birthday festivities, and it was quite a cool environment. Our server had a thick accent, and reassured us we were in a good place haha. I believe his name was Giuseppe! We got a round of waters and then got to looking at the menu. We were all in it for the pizza, so we looked and the wide selection of whites and reds. The only vegan pizza was a white, so my sister went with that. I immediately saw that one of the pizzas had purple potatoes and I was like WHAT?! That's gonna look stunning on the pizza! But the pizza had some other ingredients that I wasn't necessarily excited about, so I wanted to use the purple potatoes and build my own. Giuseppe took my order, just to come back and say the purple potatoes were only available for that pizza, not any build-your-owns. It wasn't on the full list of toppings, but when I asked he said I could do it. That was a bummer! I ended up going with the Comune instead, described as "Red and yellow "piennolo" tomatoes reduction, imported fior di latte, basil sauce, provolone from Monti Lattari fondue". I love their crust and I love their high-quality ingredients. Whew, what a treat. My sister didn't love hers, though... she's not a big white pizza person and she definitely missed the red sauce. Overall we had a great time, but one more thing to note... the place is expensive. It's really... really expensive. So get your coins ready when you visit! read more

East Village prices meets an Old World style of pizza, and it works, I can happily say. The pizza is Neapolitan style. I had to get two pies because I wanted to compare and contrast the red and white pies. Before I get to the crux of the review, I can say both pies were great and would get both of these again, that goes without saying. The white pie I ordered was the Quattro Formaggi, or a 4 cheese blend. All the flavors of the pie are nutty, savory, and blend well against the backdrop of a crust that demands respect. It was a pleasure to eat this, but punctuated by the fact I got a red pie to balance things out. I was happy I did this. The red pie I ordered was the Doc pie. Very simple in appearance, it carried great flavor from the sauces and the cheese holds quite well. It is a floppy pie, but it has great taste and will have you thinking and tasting this pie long after you leave this restaurant. Get a nice red wine and with both these pies you have yourself a nice evening. $45 for two pies, cut very generously, is great value. I would have brought these home if not for the fact I have a long subway ride home and worry the pizza would not hold. Not to worry, there will be other opportunities to come back here and have some more pizza. read more

I really wanted to like this place based on the reviews but sadly it was a disappointing experience for me and my group. It was a weekday and service was very slow. When they finally made it to our table they would rush us. They also never asked if we wanted another round and left us sitting at the table for awhile and upon return gave us the check. In terms of the food, I had the gluten free pizza and it was not baked long enough. I've had better. My friends all had different types of pastas and none of them finished it because they didn't enjoy it. The ingredients didn't feel fresh. Lastly, the atmosphere is a bit casual for the price of the menu items. I didn't visit the bathroom but was told it was freezing. read more

Ribalta - Madrilena Pizza - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

I was in NYC on a Sunday and the #2 ranked pizza spot in the world (actually #3 because there was a tie for #1) Una was closed. Luckily for me, Ribalta was open and was also ranked in the Top 10. This restaurant is located near Greenwich Village, a short walk from Washington Park. Upon walking in, I was mildly dissapointed and somewhat skeptical. The interior design looked more like something out of a beachside town like Santa Monica, CA. Kind of modern-coastal vibes with lots of white and neon. It just looks like a touristy spot ... and worse yet, the faux leather benches were torn and flaking in spots and covered in somewhat iffy throw pillows. I am glad that I did not judge a book by its cover. As a somewhat expert on Neopolitan pizza, I've had the best in the world in Naples ... and the top rated ones in the US. I still put Pasquale's in Rhode Island towards the top spot, along with Naples offshoot Pizzaria Antical di Michelle in West Hollywood, CA. (The NYC offshoot closed) From a purely pizza standpoint, I'd put Ribalta in my top 10 or 15. You'll never get cheese as good as the Fior di Latte in Naples. It's otherworldly and, it seems, impossible to recreate. The sauce at Ribalta is made with cherry tomatoes from near Mount Vesuvius and I'd believe it because the sauce is as good as any I've ever had on a pizza. The crust gets an 8.5 - 9. It's light and airy ... somewhat floppy in the middle and good enough that you'll want to eat the crust. While a very solid recreation of Neopilitan pizza, it lacks perfection in a few ways: - The ingredients are good but something was just off. This is not to say it wasn't great pizza ... I'd still put it in my top 10 - 15 US pizzas. However, maybe the ratio of cheese/sauce/basil was slightly off. It seemed a tad dry. Not sure why ... maybe a bit more cheese was needed, or a spritz of oil. - Obviously, things in NYC are going to be more expensive. I won't compare the value of this to Naples, where $12 buys you a pizza and a beer. After tip, a single Margherita pizza (not even bufalo mozerella) and beer was almost $50. That's just a lot to pay for a pizza. Overall, while I wasn't impressed with the decor, the pizza was a solid 9 ... if you like authentic Neopiltian pizza. If you are looking for NYC style pizza ... this isn't it. I have heard that John's nearby is the spot for NYC style pizza, although I wasn't that impressed and would choose Prince Street Pizza for NYC style pizza. I would return here if I was craving Neopilitan style pizza, if not for the sauce alone, although the world is catching up to Naples. read more

Take note as tourists we didn't take to account that most restaurants in NY are not stroller friendly. For starters we started with Polpo All Luciana. This might be my favorite thing we tried that night. The meatballs were standard. I say skip. The black truffle gnocchi was delish. The tonarelli cacio e Pepe was good. The pizzas were all very good but I say I've had better. We ended our meal with their 4 desserts: panna cotta, affogato, cannoli, and vanilla gelato. I say my fave was their gelato as it was creamy and they said it a house made We got drinks here too from wine, spritz and various cocktails. For the price they charge it was a lil underwhelming I say just go for the food read more
