Solid pizza and pastas at this spot. Also a huge plus is they have Peroni on draft. The tiramisu dessert was one of the best I have had in the city-absolutely addictive !

Took an order for the person in front of me and then claimed the kitchen was closed as they sat them down. Understand you want to close up but that’s bad service

The gluten free pizza was so good I was skeptical it was actually gluten free. Food came fast, salad was more interesting than expected. Will definitely come back.

Love how it turns into a nightclub on Fridays.

I was surprised by this place. Top tier Neapolitan pizza! Reservation was really easy to get too, which is rare nowadays.

I've only had pizza for lunch, and I could say that it is the best pizza I ever had.

So, I’m Italian—as in born in Italy, not “from Jersey” Italian—and I’ve got to say, Americans, you have no idea what pizza is supposed to be. Since moving here, I’ve been desperately missing the real thing with flavorful dough that doesn’t have garlic, tomatoes that aren’t loaded with sugar (and, again, garlic), and actual mozzarella, not whatever plastic-looking stuff you call cheese. Enter Ribalta, and finally, some relief. They’re actually Italian and make proper Neapolitan pizza, which, sorry if this sounds petty, is what pizza is supposed to be. The ingredients are authentic, actual prosciutto, salame—not “pepperoni” (seriously, what even is that?). The appetizers and main courses are always spot on. We’ve had the meatballs, the stuffed zucchini blossoms, everything is consistently amazing.
We come here at least once a month, and we’ll keep coming back. Just praying it never changes!

Coming from a city that boasts 5 pizza chefs among the best 50 in the world, we wanted to try this place which this year ranked 19th. To compare it with those we already knew, we ordered the authentic pizza: perfect in all respects. Good starters and decent desserts. Very kind and attentive waiter. Prices a little high but in line with those of New York

Very Noisy. It is hard to talk in the restaurant. you had to scream to talk to friends and family on the table.
If you love Neapolitan style pizza, go here. You won’t be disappointed. I am a Neapolitan pizza snob, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Meet for a business dinner. Casual atmosphere with great food. Simple ingredients well prepared. The Nobile pizza was especially good! The Polpo a la Luciana was phenomenal
Lots of colors, few flavors and no Italianness in the complete picture.
We had high expectations upon entering this place, attracted by the numerous positive Instagram stories and the lively atmosphere, full of colors and references to Italy. However, the experience was a complete failure, especially regarding the pasta and the service.
We booked a table, but we were relegated to the most uncomfortable corner of the room, with very little space to move around, so much so that we had to ask for help from the nearby table to be able to sit down. Any waiter should have understood the situation, but customer care was clearly non-existent.
The food only made it worse. The spaghetti with sauce arrived overcooked and completely tasteless, a dish impossible to eat. Furthermore, we had ordered Cavatelli, but we were served Orecchiette, and when we pointed out the error, the waiter tried to justify himself by saying that "it's the same thing / pasta". This not only demonstrates incompetence, but a total lack of respect for the customer and for the Italian culinary tradition.
The staff seemed more concerned with how much we would tip than with giving us a decent service. There was no trace of Italianness or passion for food that one expects from a restaurant that promotes itself as Italian. In short, lots of colors in the decor, but no flavor on the plate.
The only positive note: the pizza was good, but we should have stopped there. If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience in New York, this is not the right place for us.
