“Once upon a time classica was classic pizza good pizza for everyone to enjoy but thar has changed along with the times of the pandemic. Made its way downhill. Would not recommend this place to anyone for any occasion go to Rosa down the road or mini italia. Pizza was cold and unenjoyable. Off my list of pizza places.“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“Easily one of the best meals of my life! Crazy creative! Only 16 seats, very special in all ways.“

“Best vegan pizza in NYC. I could have sworn I reviewed Double Zero before and now I’m wondering if the review disappeared because it was for their old location. They moved (on the same block I think?) into a place that looks a little tighter inside but had an outdoor seating.

Came with a party of 3 and sat inside for a quiet Saturday night dinner—interior seating was maybe half full and exterior seating was packed.

Warning interior didn’t have AC running.

Got two pizzas and jackfruit tacos

Jackfruit tacos: Good but lacked a sauce or spice that left it getting drowned out by the much more flavorful pizzas

Truffle cashew cream pizza: Excellent. Third time getting it and every time it’s been a hit. Flavorful spread of mushrooms on cashew cheese

Spicy Pepperoni Pizza: Pepperonis themselves quite good on a tomato, basil, cheese base. Note the pepperonis have coconut in them in case you’re allergic.

Also got two cocktails and a mocktail, but nothing to report there. My Moscow mule was largely ice.

Unfortunately, the owner is apparently a terrible person according to the April 22, 2024 NYTimes article, but the food is good especially for vegans.“

“Delicioso highly recommend“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner on our visit to NYC. Service & Food were both excellent. Lovely family setting.“

“The food here is amazing, and the staff are great. I can’t recommend it enough. Unfortunately, the Facebook rating system for restaurants is focused mostly on the wrong things, likely due to poor algorithm design. Curbside pickups? Daily specials? Takeaway menu? Grow up, Facebook.“

“Atmosfera e cibo top! Consigliassimo“

“We were celebrating a birthday with a group of six and the food was absolutely delicious! My personal favorites were the Soy Butter Bigoli, Mochi Bombolocini, Scallop, Rigatoni, and the Apple Pie. Most of the food was amazing. The service was fantastic – everyone was so attentive, helpful, and friendly. The atmosphere is super relaxed. I really loved the Umami in the Kenmare cocktail.“

“I've been waiting to eat here for over a year, and it did not disappoint. Can't get a dinner reservation? Try lunch, it's fantastic.

Totally worth the hype. Everything was delicious. The only minor disappointment, was not blown away by the Vongole. But honestly we practically ordered the whole menu and everything was so delicious otherwise.“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“I'd had this place on my list for a long time and finally got the chance to visit! I was not disappointed. We were seated on the outdoor terrace (which was pretty loud and cold, because of the AC). Volume aside, the food was amazing! Standouts: the tiramisu and corn pasta. A great neighbourhood spot, though a little pricey!“

“This is a great restaurant, last year (2023) we came twice and Ram was great, his service and attitude was fantastic, and this year (2024) we came back again just to see him (and of course to have some drinks and great food).“

“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend“

“Loved this small 100 year old Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village. The food was delish, but even better than the food was the atmosphere and the staff. Our waiter was Tony. Not only was he funny, he knew his pasta! We felt like old friends by the time we left! The bartender was not only beautiful to look at, he too treated us like old friends! He meet us at the door on our way out and gifted me with a juicy birthday kiss! Totally made my night!“

“I simply cannot recommend this restaurant enough. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the atmosphere—the decor is a perfect blend of modern chic and warm coziness. The lighting and design create the ideal setting for a date night or a fun dinner with friends. A special shout-out goes to the bartender, he was incredibly friendly and made the wait fly by, keeping me entertained with great conversation and a perfectly crafted drink until my date arrived. What a welcoming first impression! We were excited to explore their new menu, which is both creative and thoughtfully put together. Every dish we ordered was a delight, proving the kitchen is operating at a very high level. Highly, highly recommended!“

“It was our first time visiting New York and da Toscano came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint! One of the best meals we have had in a very long time, and the service was second to none! Thank you for a wonderful evening 😊“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant after not finding any open seats in the area and so glad we did. Despite them closing in 30 minutes they did not hesitate to seat our party of 6. The manager was amazing and seriously a gem between advising the perfect meal choices and wine pairings, she also poured the drinks, cut the pasta and still took time to give us the best recommendations for a visit to Milan. This was probably one of the best pastas I have ever had! Thank you!!!! What a gem find!!“

“It is theeeeBEST! Make a reservation NOW!“

“Sat at Chefs counter. Started with steak tartar special which was amazing. Next a Spring pasta with envelopes of melted ricotta cheese. My favorite was the rabbit with rigatoni. Unbelievable. A couple glasses of the Barolo by the glass, along with the ice cream sandwich and we were in heaven!“

“Came to a wedding and the food is absolutely phenomenal!“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere! Made a special celebration that much more momentous. Do not skip the prosciutto with ricotta or octopus apps-delicious!“

“I had a wonderful time at Osteria Nonnino. The staff was friendly and my server Luca made sure all of the tables needs were met. The food was delicious, I recommend the gnocchi al pesto. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant with a more personal atmosphere with delicious food, Osteria Nonnino is the place.“

“Our meal was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Our sweet server even brought us a complimentary Tiramisu. ❤️“

“The food was absolutely amazing, it was well prepared and the service went above and beyond. The waiter was very friendly and the owner was so lovely, they noticed I was hot and handed me a mini fan to cool off! The atmosphere is perfect and gorgeous. Highly recommend visiting this spot, it’s family friendly as well!“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“El personal es muy amable, atentos y deliciosa comida.“

“Great food and atmosphere. The mocktail was superb“

“Unforgettable!!! I highly recommend your restaurant!!!“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“Brilliant place - food is awesome and the service is impeccable. Just got placed in my list of must visit places on the LES“

“I really came fully prepared to hate on this place, most of all because C picked it, but also because it is hyped to death. Further hatred materialized when I waited in line for our reservation and felt like a schmuck.

Then I realized the line wasn't for people with reservations, I went inside, we were seated immediately, our waiter was fabulous, the food was fabulous, and the wine was fabulous. Everything was phenomenal and extra, extra good.“

“A true gem in the Union Sq/Washington Sq area that combines carefully selected hors d'oeuvres and a wine selection by true connoisseurs.

In late 2024, I became a regular. Yes, the selection of wine is expert, you might be surprised by a fine selection from Alto Adige, which is the chef’s homeland. At Sorsó, you have certified sommeliers who are ready to answer you and help you make the right decision for whatever is your mood . The charcuterie selection, as I mentioned, is spot on. The salads are superb and, honestly, the artichokes are divine — my favorite! The ambience is intimate and feels like home.“

“Came from Texas to eat here, we’re thrilled with the amazing food!“

“Delicious food!! The best place I've been to in the east village in a very long time. I highly recommend it 😋“

“Celebrating our Rosemary and her Daniel’s 2nd anniversary ♥️ The staff and food were fabulous!“

“This was one of the finest dining experiences I have had in New York! The service was excellent as was the food! Both of us ordered the Seafood Risotto. I had the white sauce and my partner had the red sauce. The dish came with abundant amounts of seafood, including mussels, shrimp, calamari and more. The risotto was perfect and the flavors were a delight to the palate! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We look forward to coming back!“
