I and a friend went here relatively late on Thursday evening. The host (male) and the hostess (female) were exceptionally rude and inattentive as one of us got there 5 minutes before the other. In spite of asking to be seated in a quieter spot, we were sat next to tables with other patrons. There restaurant was 1/2 hour from closing and there were plenty of other tables. Nonetheless, the evening was ruined by mismanagement and lack of consideration for the customers and their request to not be in earshot distance of other people's conversation. The saving grace was a very lovely waitress. The food is lackluster and the customer service is nonexistent.

First time here and this place did not disappoint! The staff was very attentive and friendly, they were excited to be doing what they do best! We had the Lattuga Salad & the Levante pizza. The salad was a wedge style drenched in yummy garlic dressing. The pizza, O.M.G, you can’t beat brick oven style but that truffle pate was out of this world! I also wanted to try the Diavola, that will be on my next visit! ?The ambiance was cozy and not too loud. It’s a great location for professional meetings, dinner with friends, or even a solo meal!Deets: Monday night dinner at 6:30pm. (early for NYC)

We had the worst experience ever. I went there with my 4 grown up kids and my infant grand son. We arrived at 245pm on Sunday. Nobody in the restaurant. We asked to be sitting in the round window table and the hostess and the blond hair waiter gave us hard time , and attitude … even if we said will be gone by 4 and we spent more than 250$ ….Service is terrible and people there do not care … the pizzas were good though

The dough is delicious, but the taste and quantity are lacking for the price.

The free focaccia is divine, long rectangles of bouncy tasty bread. The wood fired levante pizza, a classic. And to warm the soul, the lady who takes your order.

This is a very very mediocre place. Mediocre food, disappointing service and freezing, unfriendly vibe. Stay away. Run, run, run!

Wonderful spot for super fresh Neapolitan style pizzas. Prices fair and certainly with one pizza, it’s enough for a person to get filled up on. When you take a bite, you want to savor every second. I didn’t get a chance to try the main dishes.

The food was very mid. Similar pricing places elsewhere would go much farther.

There were 3 in our group so we decided to get a bunch of stuff to share. Everything was good but nothing stood out. I felt like I could get the same anywhere else in the neighborhood.

Came here with a large group and shared 4 different pizzas (LIC, aglietta, bufala, and montanara), and 3 pastas (rigatoni, triangoli).Out of the pizzas, the aglietta was my favourite as the garlic added a lot of flavour to the pizza (especially if you like garlic). The pizza dough is chewy and fresh, but I would say I’ve definitely had better pizza in different Italian restaurants in the city.As for the pastas, the pasta itself wasn’t the best and nothing stood out to me in particular.That being said, the service and ambiance of the place is great, and definitely has a warm energy to it.

This is a cozy spot in the Long Island City section of NYC. It's nestled between 2 other larger restaurants but has a quaint, decorative feel. Much like that hidden jewel off the side of your favorite marketplace. I enjoyed a Mother's Day dinner with my little guy after getting my hair cut. The food was relatively good. I'm keen on seasoning and spices. While it didn't have much of that, the flavors still came together surprisingly well. My son's pasta could have used a bit more herbs and a splat more of salt, pepper, and olive oil. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the service and the way the waitress really tried to accommodate a children's meal that my sun king would enjoy. This place doesn't have a children's menu. At least not when we visited 2 years ago.Vegetarian options: There's pasta and the option to not have cheese. But some vegetarians will consume dairy.

This place was disappointing. The manicotti tasted like a frozen portion heated in the microwave. The focaccia bread was stale. I asked for extra sauce and I swear they opened a can of tomato sauce and poured it into a little bowl and served it like that. Grated cheese was not offered.

Good pizza, great vibe. Went in solo for a late bite at the bar. Got a margherita with mushrooms - $21 - a little pricey for the portion but the spicy olive oil you can pour on yourself wins my forgiveness on that front.Also got a whiskey sour that was made well.Enjoyed the visit!
