I quite literally had the worst pizza of my life at this place which is really hard to do because… how do you mess up pizza? No seriously, how?
The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was great, but to be call a pizzeria I feel like the pizza should be at least decent.

We got the roast pumpkin/squash pizza, cacio pépé and the branzino pasta. The cacio pépé was delicious, punchy and very flavourful. However, the pumpkin pizza was too sweet and the branzino pasta was lackluster.
They have a lot of seating indoors and we chose to sit outside. Service was very slow, both to take orders and send out food. The table mat papers were not weighed down properly and some wind knocked over glass at one of the other tables and service took a long time to clean it up even though there were many people, especially children walking in the area as it was halloween.

I had sea bass pasta for dinner. What I got looks like a side dish or an appetizer. But it’s $28 and listed as a main dish, and I was initially charged for $29. The portion may be acceptable for a French restaurant but it’s an Italian place! Never had such a small main dish from an Italian restaurant. Disappointed!

Once upon a time, "little Saraghina" begin in an African American working and low income class community, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. Guess what, she grow up. She has several other restaurants in Brooklyn and a high-end bakery around the corner from this Bedford Stuyvesant restaurant. Along with the high renters who have displaced and pushed out long time residences from the community is now placing credit card fees on the bill. What a "low life- sleazy" way of doing business. Furthermore, she has no care about giving back but taking hard working customers' money for fees which we all know cash is soon to be obsolete.

as beautifully grilled as the octopus was, it could never make up for the paper-thin polenta it got served with. there wasn't any side available on the menu to compensate for the 3 by 2 inch rectangular polenta, which violated all common decency. i couldn't catch sleep over how egregiously scammed i felt.

First time I came it was so good. Atmosphere and vibes are so cute and the food is pretty good. Second time I came there was a dead bug on our plate so requested a new one. idk if they got new waiters but they had such a bad attitude about it but why would we eat off of a dirty plate with a dead bug on it? And then the water glass was so dirty that there was a white ring around it and again I requested a new one and again, horrible attitude about it. The appetizer came before our water even. Just horrible customer service and cleanliness was a 1/10. Only giving 3 stars because food was pretty good and vibes are cute. Will not be returning tho hahah

The best gluten free pizza ever!! All the other food we had was amazing also, and the ambiance was perfect- busy and rustic.

Maybe i just got unlucky. But my boyfriend and i got food from here, for a cute date night, and we both got sick. Gave some pizza crust to our dog and he also got sick. Luckily we didnt eat a whole lot of it bc it Didnt really taste good. The pizza was SO bland and hard to chew. We tried everything to make it taste better too. Weve been here before and it wasnt this bad. Maybe change the sauce yall idk. Were just now feeling better after eating this the night before last. Be careful. We probably wont be back just bc we dont wanna risk it again ):

An excellent pizza indeed! I loved the margherita, it was absolutely a proper Neapolitan one!
One of my new favorite spots! The Brussels are literally delicious!!

We visited Saraghina Pizzeria on our very first night in New York, fresh off the plane from Manchester, UK — and while we were both running on empty after a long day of travel, the restaurant still made a strong impression. The service was first class — warm, attentive, and relaxed — exactly what we needed after a hectic arrival. The food was genuinely lovely: well-made, flavourful, and clearly handled with care. We both really enjoyed what we ordered, and the setting had a great energy — stylish without feeling forced, and buzzing with local life. That said, we were both far too tired to fully appreciate the experience at the time. If anything, it’s a spot we’d love to revisit with fresher eyes (and a sharper appetite) on another trip. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the place or the experience — it just deserved a more well-rested version of us.

Perhaps they had a bad evening but can’t quite understand the good reviews. Pizza and pasta placed on the table within about 4 mins of ordering Soggy pizza with acidic watery tomato base Pasta undercooked ( I like the harder side of al dente btw) with acidic tomato sauce Tiramisu ( if you can call it that) of whipped cheap ice cream type thing. Very poor service.. well There wasn’t any

Great food but just know if you’re a person of color, you’re sitting outside. They’ll tell you there’s no seating but just get up to use the bathroom inside and you’ll see the array of seating they refuse to sit you at. This wasn’t a one time thing either I’ve come multiple times and they ALWAYS sit us outside. Hot or cold. With or without kids.

I am obsessed with this place. I’d gatekeep it if I could but it seems that other people already know about it. I live for their brunch menu and their dinner menu. I love the blueberry pancakes for brunch and the tuna carpaccio for a dinner starter is amazing. Try this place if you love great food, good vibes and Italian food.
