“Ok, Grant Plater u fukn idiot it's obvious u don't get out to eat much... So d*** f*** any diner in the fun word u go to u get a waffle that can be cut into 4 sections.

Great experience, will def return.“

Nice experience and highly recommend!“

“The BEST mozzarella around. I now compare every mozzarella to Vinnie Mootz! Their pizza is to die for. They sandwiches are delectable! He does mozzarella making classes that are not just informative but fun. Vinnie has a great spirit and sense of humor along with the passion he has for making the best product he can. I recommend Vinnie Mootz for all your party needs, and just stop in and pick up some Mozzarella, you will not be disappointed. Love You Vinnie's Mootz! From: The Bike Girl“

Thank you for being a great hotel, restaurant and friendly place outside of the New York hustle and bustle.“

“Excellent Italian cuisine and great service!“

“Great place, loved the cocktails and service!“

“At first I was thinking it would be more like a small Italian restaurant feel, but when I got there I realized it had a retro modern look, if that's even a thing. ??

They weren't too good at accommodating for food preferences but what we got was delicious nonetheless. ?

I heard and saw the gelato desserts and cakes were tasty, but definitely split them since they are giant. ?

Lastly, they do put on a good show with some flames ? so pull your hair back and enjoy the show. ?

Vegetarian options: Wouldn't do many non-diary options but did go for pasta with marinara.“

“One of the Best Dairy Restaurants!

The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was delicious. I absolutely loved their pizza and pasta — they’re really on top of their game! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for tasty dairy options.“

The deli's atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a casual lunch or a hearty take-out dinner.

“Superb experience , great food, prompt service, moderate prices...very enjoyable and well worth the money“

“We love this place and have eaten several times for lunch. Food is consistently good and inventive.

My only warning is - if you come for dinner, especially on a weekend, be ready to wait. It's free seating so there's lots of groups standing around waiting for a table to open up. The real bottleneck seems to be their pizza oven. We got our meal almost immediately except for the pizza - had to awkwardly wait for 20 additional minutes as people eyed our table.“

“Delightfully surprised to find such generous portions and excellent food. The Degustazione was a great choice for the entree. Easily enough for 4 and we were 2. The pizza was delicious. We’ll be back to try more.“
