The service wasn't the highlight, but honestly, it became an afterthought once the food arrived. The pizza was incredible--light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like. The eggplant Parmesan was outstanding, and the eggplant pizza was absolutely phenomenal. The grilled vegetables were fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. If you're coming for the food, you won't be disappointed. The cocktails seemed a bit pricey- albeit complimentary to the cuisine. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I'd happily come back for the pizza alone. read more

So disappointed in tonight's dinner. I've been here a few times when I'm in town and I've never had a bad meal but tonight dinner and the service left a lot to be desired. I brought my son here for what I thought would be a nice enjoyable dinner before he starts his new job Monday. We were seated right away. The server came over quickly and we asked for another minute since we couldn't decide on what to order. That was a mistake... she gave us close to 20 minutes. It was so blatant, I wanted to leave. Finally she came to the table. After we ordered she never came back. She never checked on us and someone else brought the check. Yes, she was still in the restaurant. Now for the food. We originally wanted pasta. We could hear the people at the table next to us and they didn't like theirs. We ordered Pizza and Salad instead. Caesar Salad was very good. Crisp lettuce with shaved Parmesan Reggiano and light dressing tossed through. Pizza Diavola - pizza was under cooked. The crust wasn't crisp and was floppy. It was charred from the wood fire oven but it wasn't hot and it was obvious that it needed a few more minutes in the oven. It was such a letdown especially since I've had really good pizza here in the past. Now for my real gripe... is it now acceptable for restaurants and servers to give inferior service and food because when you go to pay, there's only an automatic option for 20%, 22% or 25% gratuity. Service and food did not warrant a 20% tip and they got it anyway. I'm hoping lack of customer service is not the new norm. read more

My first time here and I came for a work dinner which means I tried tons of dishes, so buckle in for my speed-run reviews: -Pizzas: white pizza was my favorite, with the mushroom and ham one coming second. Margherita was also a classic and done well. The dough is really nice and fluffy. (Best appetizer- definitely get the pizzas!) -Burrata: creamy with decent straciatella. Was yummy on both the salad and the prosciutto. -Beef Carpaccio: not super tender and not super flavorful, would skip next time -Gnocchi: was well cooked and not dense. -Octopus main course: tender and a huge portion, bread was good too. Loved the olive and tomato sauce but it was a tad salty. -Panna Cotta: raspberry sauce was good, pretty presentation, my favorite of the desserts. -Tiramisu: tasty but not super memorable. -Lemon cake: not very lemony, but still good. Nice presentation too. Service was great, despite us being a big group and ordering basically the entire menu. read more

A True Taste of Naples in the Upper West Side! Stepping into this pizzeria on the Upper West Side feels like being transported straight to Naples, Italy. The interior decor is absolutely stunning--warm, charming, and full of authentic Neapolitan touches that instantly make you feel like you're dining in a cozy Italian piazza. The personal pizzas are phenomenal--perfectly portioned, with that deliciously thin, slightly charred crust that you only find in Italy. Every bite was bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that took me right back to Naples. And the desserts? Pure heaven. Each one is crafted with flavors that sing of the Amalfi Coast--bright citrus, creamy textures, and just the right amount of sweetness. Truly unforgettable. What really made the experience even better was the staff. So friendly, welcoming, and accommodating--they made sure everything was just right and made us feel like honored guests. If you're looking for an authentic Italian pizzeria experience in NYC, this spot is a must. A beautiful blend of Naples charm and Upper West Side warmth! read more

Food: I got to try the insalada di pulpo, paccheri genovese, and salsicce e melanzane. The meal started out with complimentary bread and delicious olive oil, always a good start. The insalada was fresh and light with a good quantity of octopus sprinkled throughout, but I wish there was a bit more salt as I found it overall lacking in the flavor department. The genovese pasta was particularly sweet from the cooked down onion ragu that melded well with the soft tender veal, dusting of parmesan, and sprigs of bright basil. I do wish the sauce had a bit more liquidity and oomph. I want that pasta to be swimming in the yummy sauce, but I know it's traditionally more dry. Finally, the best part of the meal was the pizza (not pictured). Topped with a white sauce, fried eggplant, sausage, and cherry tomatoes, it was the perfect bite with that perfect doughy, chewy bite you get from a Neapolitan-style pizza. Very different from a NY slice, but so tasty. You could really taste the quality of the dough in every bite. Bravo! Service: Service was fast and food came flying at a rate I could barely keep up with. Nothing to complain about. Ambiance: The seating is cozy and the atmosphere is very "small neighborhood" Italian spot. read more

Fantastic pizza! We had the standard neo, the caprese, and the sausage, and all of them were perfect and delicious. The thin crust meant I was able to put down 4 pieces and I loved every single bite. Highly recommend! read more

I would 100% recommend this place which is a legit Neapolitan restaurant in the Upper West Side. The food was delicious and the pizza crust traditionally oven baked - soft and flavorful. The service was discreet but timely, and the atmosphere live but not too loud. Thank you for a great dinner experience. read more

Food was served relatively quickly but the host was very kind. Walked up w our dog in the hopes of getting outside seating. Waited only 5 minutes (which was amazing). Had the burrata as a starter; my wife ordered the eggplant parmigiana and i ordered the Polpetta pasta. We saw a Stanley tucci in Italy special earlier in the day and so we were pushed to try food from the Campania region. Wine was great too. Highly recommend read more

Ate dinner at the bar on a Friday. The service was efficient and friendly, and the vibe was lively. The meatballs are rich, and the tomato sauce pairs well both with the meatballs and side of bread. The pasta with zucchini and lemon (spaghetti alla nerano) is very good, with great depth of flavor. The salsicce e friarielli pizza was fine. read more

Love love love the food and the atmosphere here. The pizza is incredible: just the right thickness of dough, the crust is light and fluffy, and the sauce is amazing (not sweet). The gnocchi was just as good. It tasted like my Nonna's! The atmosphere here is also very vibey. I have been to the Houston location before and that restaurant felt a lot more causal. This location was nice enough that I chose it for my birthday dinner. Friendly staff, good wine. Made for a great night! read more

Quite possibly one of the best Neapolitan pizzas I've ever had. Fresh ingredients, and bright flavors. Great service and a perfect spot with outdoor seating on a beautiful September day.

I heard so much great things about Song E Napule so I had to try its UWS location a shot. I ordered pizza through delivery, so can't comment on service or ambiance. Diavola: 9/10 (the dough texture was fantastic and the sauce was great. It was on the saltier side though.) read more

We had a party of 23 on a Saturday evening, on January 16. Every one of us had personalized service, everything was delicious. The food came out quickly. The staff was friendly. I can't wait to go back! The next time that I'm in NYC, I will go back. Thanks to everyone there! read more

Pizza crust is very good...thin, crispy, airy. Napoletana - Anchovy was very good. Not too salty, just the right amount of fishyness. Porcini - very very good. Light, truffle flavor but delicious. Parmigiana - eggplant was very good as well. The favorite is Napoletana with Porcini a close second. read more

Family Day at Fordham. Did not have a reservation for Arthur Ave so ventured to the Upper West Side for pizza. After vacationing on the Amalfi coast I had high hopes for this place and it did not disappoint. Friendly welcome on arrival, a couple of aperitivo's and we were ready to try the menu. Meatballs and caesar salad to get things going followed by pizzas and gnocchi. The pizzas definitely took me back to the summer. Perfect crust, great sauce and good quality mozzarella. The missus liked her gnocchi so all good. Tiramisu and coffee and all in all a great experience. It's a tight space and the tables are a little too close together but other than that it's a nice memory of Italy. read more

I went to the original location some time ago and found it excellent, however I only got a pizza. This time I expanded to pasta, tiramisu, and salad. The salad was fine, but the pasta (with metaballs) were not good - bland and small portion, and the tiramisu was not good at all (not cold enough and not tasty enough). The vibe of the Upper West Side location is different - no more constant Italian chatter, rather Mexican Spanish. Everything is branded, ritzier, more done up. I would give this a 3.5 but wouldn't recommend adventuring beyond the pizza. read more

Solid pizza place on the upper west side. The interior has some tables and a bar and there is an outdoor shed. There is one single bathroom in the back. Fast service for my large group. Got the funghi pizza. While the mushroom variety and toppings did not blow me away, it was the soft and chewy dough that had me impressed. Some people didn't like that the pizza is on the soft side, so this might not be your pizza if you are a crispy pizza fan. Before leaving the restaurant, you must try the olive oil. read more

Italian seafood and Neapolitan pizzas. Yummy table olive oil. Blue decor. - Their pizzas are an honest execution of the Neapolitan style: thin but chewy crust with an incredible bready flavor. Delicious when piping hot. - Octopus is everywhere on the menu, but I thought it was a little flabby. In a "salad" with potatoes, the leafy greens were overwhelmed by all the olive oil - Veal ragu was rather sweet! - We're glad it's more spacious than the Houston location, but reservations are still recommend. read more

I almost ate at Song's LES location last summer, but the tropical humidity and al fresco seating sans AC made me instantly nope out. So when I happened on this UWS location one weeknight, it seemed fortuitous. It wasn't. These guys are a MESS. They are so poorly organized, it's a wonder anything gets served on time. The hostess was also taking phone orders when we arrived, and because they were so busy, we had to stand for about 20 min in the middle of the restaurant before she could seat us. Speaking of seating, it's clear Song is trying to squeeze every penny until it bleeds because all of the two-seater tables (which make up the entirety of the restaurant) were spaced no more than 3 inches apart in an effort to cram in as many diners as possible. The result is you're going to hear everything you never wanted to know about your adjacent diners' bad Hinge dates, terrible ultrasound experiences, obnoxious co-workers, and every other personal life detail possible. And they'll hear all of yours too. Don't bother trying to have a private conversation. It's too bad because the food is above average for NYC Italian--so good, in fact, that actual Italians (like, from the Motherland) frequent this place. Our Gnocchi Sorrentina was scrumptious, and both the Napoletana and Cotto E Funghi pizzas had some of the most perfectly baked crusts I've had in a long time. But I can't do the sardine experience. At that point, I might as well just go to Sardinia. read more

Song E Napule serves by-the-book Neapolitan-style pizzas that are justifiably lauded for their exceptional crust: a perfectly risen balance of tender and glutinous, baked in a scorchingly hot 800 to 900 degree F oven* for a little over a minute. The result is a classic, puffy, spotted cornicione and slightly wet center that requires attack with a fork and knife. (Somewhere in the middle of the slice, my barbaric, anti-utensil children found the pizza structurally stable enough to pick up with their hands.) * The mosaic-covered oven here is drop dead gorgeous, FYI. It's worth a trip to the one gender-neutral bathroom in the back just for a peek. The trick, when you have such a perfect crust, is to keep it simple. You want to avoid messing it up with too many topping, bad toppings, etc... To a large extent, SEP succeeds, there. Ingredients are of high quality. The tomato sauce used on the rosso pizzas are simply seasoned, but flavorful. Mozzarella fior di latte is used on most pizzas; mozzarella di bufala on the Bufalina. Each pizza comes with a tiny ball of the fior di latte in the center so you can sample the high quality of the cheese by itself. As for the other toppings... my young spice-heads liked the Calabrian spianata salami on their Diavola ("Tomato Sauce San Marzano Rega DOP & San Marzano Slow Food Eccellenza Nolane, Fiordilatte cheese, spicy spianata salami from Calabria, fresh basil, evoo"). It was legitimately spicy, quite salty, and had high fat content -- a great approximation of the 'Murrican pepperoni they usually go for. A pizza parmigiana ("Tomato Sauce San Marzano Rega DOP & San Marzano Slow Food Eccellenza Nolane, Provola cheese di Agerola, fried eggplant, Parmigiano Reggiano fondue, oregano, fresh basil, evoo") was not, at first glance, something I'd usually go for: I look upon fondue-drizzled pizzas with extreme suspicion. But the result, a pie lightly speckled with bits of crisp eggplant parmigiana, was surprisingly balanced, neither overloaded nor overly soggy. I was a bit less charmed by the non-pizza items we tried from the menu. A main course of polpo alla Luciana ("Baby Octopus, Piennolo tomatoes sauce from Vesuvio, Datterino tomatoes from Corbara, anchovies, capers, black olives homemade crostini, evoo") was very, very salty -- almost as saline as the ocean -- and unpleasantly "fishy." I couldn't eat more than a few bites, though the texture -- tender, almost buttery -- was excellent. I suspect the dish was at one point appropriately salted, but that reheating had reduced the sauce so much that salt levels became unpleasantly concentrated. Main courses do not come with vegetables or other things on the side, so we ordered a contorni of broccoli rabe with Calabrian chiles. This dish was also on the saltier side, though otherwise nicely seasoned, speckled with chile flakes. It was large enough to share. The pizzas merit a return visit. read more

Tonight I went here for the first time since it opened in the neighborhood. We needed a carb heavy meal to break Passover and I can't think of a better option. My parents and I enjoyed the food very much. Portions are good sized. Not too big that you feel too full but definitely not small. It is a smaller restaurant so I recommend making reservations like we did. The tables are right together because they try to fit in as many as they can. I sat on a couch which at first I wasn't sure about but the food made it all worth it. Will be back for sure! The bread at the start was good and the olive oil was wonderful. The salad had a ton of tomatoes and they were excellent. We kept saying that over and over. The pizza was very light and thin. Lastly the tiramisu was delicious. Yum yum! read more

Much better on my next visit! Came here for lunch not knowing they have a lunch special. It's a great deal at lunch $15 for a selection of appetizers, pizzas, spaghetti, and other dishes. I tried the pizza salsiccia friarelli (white pizza with broccoli rabe and sausage). The pizza was not as flimsy this time. I enjoyed my pizza and my friends seemed to like her for cheese pizza just as much. For two pizzas and two ginger Ashe's our total bill was $43 with tax. By the time we finished eating around 1:30 all tables were taken or were booked with reservations. I have to assume this might be because it's a holiday week. The service was okay. Our waitress essentially took our order and served our food. Then another waitress cleared our table and brought our check. read more

If you're looking for real Neapolitan pizza in NYC, Song' Napule is the place. This is not just another pizza spot -- it's authentic Naples on the Upper West Side. The dough is perfectly light and airy, the ingredients are top quality, and every pizza comes out exactly the way a true Neapolitan pizza should be. The menu also features classic Neapolitan dishes, all prepared with care and true respect for tradition. Everything tastes fresh, simple, and full of flavor -- just like in Italy. The service is excellent: warm, attentive, and very well organized. A special mention to the manager, Pietro, who is always incredibly kind and accommodating. For Valentine's Day, he went above and beyond and helped organize heart-shaped pizzas for my office on very short notice -- a level of hospitality that really makes a difference. As an Italian, I can honestly say this is one of the few places where I truly feel at home. Great food, great service, and a genuine Neapolitan experience. Highly recommended! read more

There are restaurants you try... and then there are places you remember. Song' e Napule is one of those places. This isn't just about great food it's about the feeling you get the second you walk through the door. The energy is warm, authentic, and full of heart. The staff doesn't treat you like a table number they welcome you like you've been coming there for years. The service is flawless: attentive without being intrusive, professional but incredibly friendly. You can feel the pride they have in what they serve. And the food? Absolutely top tier. Every bite tastes intentional, fresh, and truly Italian. It's easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. If you want real Italian flavors, real hospitality, and a place that makes you feel part of a big family, this is it. Can't wait to come back read more

FYI: Neapolitan pizza is one of my top 3 favorite foods. I dream about the Song E Napule pizza. The freshness of the ingredients, the chewy lightness of the crust, and the different plays on texture. Furthermore, Song E Napule has nailed down the consistency of their pizzas. Both their Greenwich Village and UWS locations have never let me down. My favorite is the vegetariana, though I recommend the cotto e funghi to my meat-loving pals. read more

4.5 / 5.0 - One of my colleagues from Naples, who is also a Neapolitan pizza lover, highly recommended Song'e Napule. So it had been on my list and I was thrilled to discover their new location in UWS. My bf and I came here for dinner tonight and had a great experience. There was no availability online, but we decided to walk in and were fortunately able to sit at the bar. The interior had more of a lounge feel than a pizzeria, but it had nice tones of blue and a warm, welcoming feel. The staff was friendly, both upon arrival and at the bar. We ordered: - Bufalina Pizza ($23+) - Calamari Fritti ($20+) One of the things I loved about this place was that they served us bread with delicious olive oil. The calamari was good but the pizza is what I'll be back for. I love Neapolitan pizza and the Bufalina Pizza did not disappoint. There was plenty of buffalo cheese on it and the tomato sauce was on point. The dough was soft and fluffy, too. So happy with this new addition to the neighborhood! read more

I've been coming to Song E Napule for a long time, and every single visit reminds me why this place is so special. The food is as authentic as it gets--so much so that I've brought Italian-born friends visiting from Italy, and they absolutely love it. And trust me, Italians don't mess around when it comes to their food! Beyond the incredible flavors, what truly sets this place apart is the people. The staff here are some of the kindest, most hardworking, and welcoming human beings you'll ever meet. Every meal is served with warmth and passion, and you can feel the love in every bite. It's disappointing to see some reviews focus on things that have nothing to do with the food or hospitality. Even worse, when those reviews subtly carry a discriminatory undertone, it's clear that the problem isn't the food--it's the reviewer. Food and hospitality transcend nationalities and languages, and Song E Napule is proof of that. If you're looking for real, soulful Italian food made with love, this is the place. Don't just take my word for it--go experience it for yourself! read more
