Alex EngelAugust 25, 2014Choose any salad, pasta, and pizza to share for 4 people (and a bottle of wine...or 2). Pizza is thin crust and really crispy, just delicious. Not to mention the place has a great ambiance.
Meg FarmerOctober 24, 2015Such a cozy place with delicious food. Great for groups as well as dates. Thin crust pizza is top notch, but don't overlook the salad, calamari, and ravioli; all favs from our table.
Jaime MNovember 11, 2016Long waits, but worth it. Leave your name and number and visit one of the many nearby bars until they have a spot for you!
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Super thin-crust pizza with a variety of toppings are served at Rubirosa. Try the Vodka variety, but the Supreme (with tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, and roasted garlic) is the best.
Lili BazJanuary 19, 2020Cozy atmosphere! The Tuscan Kale Campanelle and Tie-Dye Pizza are a must! The Cacio E Pepe was nothing special. Expect a long wait but worth it!
Elvis RodricksApril 21, 2020Between the classic pizza and the thai dye, the dye has me hooked! Spaghetti was unique, being thin and freshly made from scratch, with a homemade sauce taste to finish!
Lisa EApril 6, 2016Roasted brussels sprouts, tie-dye pizza, salads, the olive oil that comes with the fresh baked bread... all of it is delicious. It's one of those 'you can't go wrong' menus.
AbNovember 27, 2015Came with doubts. Left a believer. One of the best thin-crust pizzas I've ever put in my mouth. Try that vodka pizza folks keep talking about.
Serious EatsMarch 20, 2013Soul-satisfying red sauce Italian done right. Great lasagna, chicken parm, some of the best pizza in Little Italy.
Shiyana BellamyAugust 10, 2015Their velvet curtain entrance made me hesitate at first, but I went in. The Tie-Dye pizza is the best thing I ever had. They not only serve pies, but have rice balls and savory handmade pasta.
Ira BSeptember 1, 2015Very good, very, very thin crust pizza. But prepare for a little heat inside this place. With the exposed light bulbs, candles on tables and furnace in back, you can find yourself a bit overheated.
Love this place! Their Vodka pie with a fresh arugula is so GOOD! Mozz sticks, pastas are simple yet great tasting. One can tell they use really good ingredients. Must try!
All time favorite. Amazing food. The pizza here is something different. Vodka pizza #1. Mozz sticks. Pasta A+
Arte YescasOctober 11, 2017Looovely place, delicious and quick. Small Bianca pizza adding prosciutto for two plus an Arugula salad. 🙌🏼 Water was fine since the food quantities are big.
Behrad EatsApril 19, 2016Throw some Sopresatta on their Classic 50 year old NY-style family recipe for one killer New York pizza!
As you think about what pizza to order, don't overlook the appetizers and sides. The calamari might have been the best I've had and the Brussels sprouts with bacon, real good
Zach RSeptember 20, 2015Had a great experience- the caprese salad and Rubirosa Supreme pizza are incredible. The Black Manhattan is an excellent cocktail pairing to go along with them, too.
AndyAugust 14, 2018Every bit as good as described. The classic pizza is amazing and the cocktails are amazing. I recommend the quarter water.
Chris ThunJuly 3, 2014Rubirosa makes our hearts pump pizza sauce. The vodka pie is a must-order: classic vodka sauce atop a thin crust with melted mozzarella that blurs the line between cheese and sauce.
Obsessed with the pizza here. Thin crust and so delicious. Their antipasto platter is great too. You can't go wrong. Expect a wait but it's worth it.
Mike FolkertSeptember 16, 2012If you are a fan of very thin (almost cracker-like) crust, the pizza here is the best we have found of that style in the city - the large-format lasagna and chicken parm are also excellent.
You pretty much can't go wrong anywhere on the menu. Start with a caprese or arugula salad. Onwards to the ravioli. Or pizza (fresca). Ask to sit in the back, it's quieter.- It's not on the menu but if you ask, they will split pizza toppings for you. I suggest getting a pie with half Vodka and half Supreme to get a taste of the best two pies
Christine TranSeptember 17, 2016Great service and vibe. I can live on a diet of Supreme, Vodka, and Tie-Dye pizzas.
Crazy delicious crab pasta and the wine is good. Very cozy with dim lights. Will certainly com back for more.
Paige CJanuary 3, 2016Order the tie-dye pizza and be sure to add pepperoni! The staff could be friendlier, but don't expect much. It's the pizza that draws people in!
Roberto BuaApril 5, 2015Get the lasagna (definitely the crown jewel) and the baked clams. Old school Italian-American food with a modern twist.
Anuj MathurNovember 22, 2014One of the best chicken parm plates in the city. It's the size of a large dinner plate and comes with a healthy bowl of spaghetti alla chitarra for $22.
order the rubirosa salad, rice balls, and tie dye pizza - one of the best pizza spots in all of new york. thin breakable crust, sour and cheesy
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantApril 16, 2017V. good, outstanding service. We brunched with rubirosa salad, ricotta pancakes, panna cotta with rhubarb and strawberry sauce - delish. Pizzas ok. ambiance leaves a lot to be desired.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Tasty traditional and gluten-free options in a fun neighborhood in SoHo. Try the tie dye pizza!
Johis HerassJune 2, 2022Black and white tagliatelle is really really good!! The ruborosa antipasto was great to share a good glass of wine!! I love it at all!
Claudia MMarch 13, 2013I want someone to create an app that sends me a personal alert when their black kale pizza is their special. Or better yet, just sends the pizza straight to my apt, because let's just save time.
Chris KramerJuly 13, 2019The Rubirosa Supreme was so good, our table ordered a second one when we finished the first. One of the best pizzas I’ve had in NYC.
Autumn ChoiJune 18, 2022Amazing thin pizza, their tie-dye is amazing. Unfortunately no res and only one stall for the whole restaurant, but worth all the inconveniences
Cole KennedyApril 10, 2015The vodka pizza is one of the best thin crust pizzas you'll ever eat, but I dunno if I'd go as far as saying best in NYC. That honor sticks with Roberta's for me.
Theodore PapanestorosMay 26, 2012Great pizza even for the EU standards:) Try the large sized pizza but order 2 different kinds from the menu. It's not mentioned there but it is an option!
Ryan SussanJune 10, 2016Really can't go wrong with anything here. The bartenders are great and the food speaks for itself. Tie dye with garlic and a little crispy
CompassMay 20, 2014The Italian restaurant on Mulberry street has tin roofs, reclaimed wood tables and some of the most delicious stuffed artichokes and mozzarella sticks in the city.
Chris GampatNovember 23, 2021The desserts can be bigger than the entree. This place is super comfy. Go in. You’ll enjoy it!
Ian KennedyFebruary 21, 2021Went half/half with vodka-sauce and arugula. Two totally different experiences, both top notch!
Honghui YuAugust 30, 2015Try the caprese pizza - pesto and mozzarella topped with fresh tomatoes and basil; add some sausage if you're hungry though you probably won't need to
Susanne KellyOctober 20, 2017don't tell anyone else but this is the best pizza!! the best. get the tie dye! get the supreme! the vodka sauce is amazing amazing.
Best Eggplant Parm I've had. Great toasted bun and side salad. Rubirosa just did a pull-up jumper right in Parm's facial.
AmateurConciergeApril 24, 2017For celiacs and gluten haters, enjoy the gluten free crust (12" size only) but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you you're missing out- AmberOctober 27, 2016Get the pizza. ...Duh. Pro tip: if you go before 5pm you can get it by the slice.
Go for broke and get the caprese pizza. They replaced the mozz with fresh home made straciatella and it is the bomb.
