    My favorite Italian resto in possibly all of NYC. Managing Owner, Sandro serves up authentic homestyle Italian food, with authentic Italian hospitality. He is sure to make you feel at home every time!

    Best Italian food in the area! why? because it's run by Italians who make you feel welcome. Go and say ciao to Sandro and enjoy if you have a problem tell 'em same way you would tell your mom at home.

    Come for: the amazing Neapolitan style pizza—thin lightly charred crust, delicate tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella (toppings are quality too)—best in the area. Avoid: everything else on the menu.

    The owner is from Torino, employees are from Sardinia and Rome. You hear "Va Bene", "Certo", and "Arividerci" thrown around. You'll feel just like you are back in Italy, here!

    Get a table by the front. If the windows are open, you'll be treated to a nice breeze and some occasional subway noise. Try the pizza, it's very thin but very good!

    Probably the best pizza in this neighborhood. It's thin crust, not really NY style, but still excellent.

    Good, new neighborhood Italian spot. The wood fire pizzas are solid and prices are very reasonable.

    Free mimosa with brunch. Food is good but nothing special. The atmosphere is really nice, good service. Overall nice place to brunch on a lazy weekend.

    If they have the braised Lamb shank on special, do yourself a favor and order it. You can thank me later.

    If you want something indulgent but light, I suggest the Bianca pizza and a glass of prosecco. Mmmm

    Penne with eggplant was notably mediocre. The bread was pretty weak too. My friend did not like his Zupetta di Pesce, but says his lasagne Verdi is pretty good.

    Not bad, not fantastic. It may just be me, but I feel like the pizza choices need to be more diverse. I think I considered ordering three nearly identical pizzas.

    No A/C but sit by the floor-length windows and have them open them to the street.
