Such a delicious brunch spot!! Delicious Nutella pancakes you can ask for and incredible BLT on homemade flatbread. Would come back here any time. Love the atmosphere and ambiance

Seriously enjoyed the butternut squash soup and the ricotta gnocchi. Yes, portions are small but the flavor was magnificent. Truly enjoyable. Also, I sat at the bar and you should too. Bring a date.

This spot's an ode to everything Neapolitan, w/ a 5-ton, gold tiled pizza oven built by hand completely out of materials imported from Italy that gets so hot it can pump out the pies in 60-90 seconds. Read more

Perfect portion of pizza, but definitely don't leave without trying the best meatballs in NYC! Dessert? Zeppolis all the way! @donatellanyc

Been here 5+ times
The bacon egg lettuce tomato on ciabatta is a perfect sandwich. Oh my. Get it. Actually quite light for what it is.

Pappardelle is to die for. Garlic bread is like whoa. Tuna tartare is amazing. Everything on the menu is a YES!!!!

Try the spicy meatballs and Capellini with some red wine. Only negative is that there's no lunch special and I work across the street.

When someone orders a salad (starter) and pasta (main dish), you don't bring them to the table at the same time and refuse to stagger the meal/courses, Chef. A tip from your regular DBar patron.

1000 degree oven made of Vesuvian lava rock cooks pizzas in 45 to 90 seconds. Pizza chef educated in Naples. Pies with heritage.

The pasta is delicious, but don't order it as your main course. Very small portions. Try a sandwich or pizza, or follow up pasta with an entree, if you want to fill up.

Meatballs, mussels, diavolo pizza, and short rib pasta. Dooo it!!!

Is the boss here? If so, flag her down and she’ll be nice to you. Otherwise, get her namesake pie, and the Diavolo. Read more

The Diavola pizza was amazing. Great culinary experience. Service could be a bit more attentive.
