Came here with a friend for dinner. Really loved the outdoors area for a nice, relaxed dinner. The pizza with goat cheese and figs and the vodka sauce pasta were both delicious! The waitress was really nice. Would definetly come again.

Very good cuisine. Too bad the aperitifs are served during the courses and not before… (two times out of three). A little expensive but within Manhattan prices.

This is one of the few restaurants opens late and took our order 15 mins before the kitchen close. The servicers are friendly and welcoming. Ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo and Crispy Octopus.This pizza is the thinner style, the crust is slightly crispy but soft mochi-like inside. It is pretty light and not greasy; it’s stated as spicy on the menu but is not.The crispy octopus is alright, the octopus is on the tough side, so not everyone would like that. However, the vegetable combination and sauce surprised me. The celery and herb are tossed in a light refreshing sauce, with the spiciness and tanginess from pepper dew and crispy potato, overall, a complex flavor profile yet refreshing and savory appetizer.

Nice outdoor seating in the sun. The burrata and Brussels sprouts were lovely. The aperol lacked aperol and prosecco.

? Love this place! The service quality is excellent, the vibes are comfy, and the food is truly amazing. I’m making sure to record these outstanding cuisines so that I can re-experience them all on my next visit.?️ Crispy Calamari: Not your ordinary dish! It’s perfectly fried, devoid of any oily feeling. Plus, they’ve added some artichoke & haricot vert to create a harmonious balance. (Make a wish here - throw in more vegies, they match so well!)? Prosciutto Pizza & Pistachio Pesto Pasta: Both were good choices. Their pizzas and pastas are consistently great.? Truffle Pacchieri: Prepare to be wowed! The truffle flavor is incredibly rich—I could practically smell it wafting from the kitchen. Also it is so dense and creamy - you'll love its texture.? Speakeasy-Like Bar Area: Hidden in the basement, it’s a gem waiting to be explored. Perfect for chilling with friends.My mouth waters just reminiscing about it! ?

Gelso and Grand, a restaurant that sits in the middle of the benchmark, the atmosphere is very vibrant and sets up the mood for an exceptional dining experience, only for the food to be overshadowed a little, I did try almost 10 of their menu items it was good at best not exceptional or great or creative! Calamari dish consisted mostly of artichokes and Beans 5-7 pieces of calamari and some fried breading, the octopus dish is good, bolognese was also good! I had also the tiramisu but I’ve been there three days in a row and everyday it’s different and not very fresh! Service was good so in reality good restaurant not great or exceptional!

The staff is very rude and unprofessional. It’s so sad because the restaurant is so cute! But wow! I was even trying to Make eye contact with our server and she ignore us the whole time. I don’t recommend this place at all. And then when I was explaining what happened to the manager, she was giving pushback, and the other servers were starin at us in a very mean way. What a bad experience,

Had dinner here last night, last minute, no reservations. So happy with our decision. The food was very tasty, and generous portion. Downstairs there was like a private lounge which was super cool. Definitely a vibe.? we will be back. Service was a 10/10 even though they were busy.

Our dishes were good. The truffle cream pasta was delicious. I had the chicken Parm which was really good but the pasta with red sauce was bland. Service was great but expect you will sitting close strangers. That's not too big of a deal. Cool place
