I had really high expectations for this restaurant, given a friend’s recommendation as the best pizza in town and the impressive Google rating. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of what we anticipated.
First, the wine service was disappointing. Our glass of Chianti came already served and they didn’t even show us the bottle or poured it in front of us. It was served in a regular water glass and wine is meant to be served at a specific temperature, and a proper tall glass prevents your fingers from altering that. To make matters worse, the wine itself tasted terrible, was warm and was far from resembling a true Chianti.
As for the pizzas, both were underwhelming. Both were supposed to include basil, but it was nearly impossible to find, and when we did, it was baked into the pizza—a clear rookie mistake. Basil should be added fresh after the pizza is done to retain its flavor.
The prosciutto crudo pizza was the biggest letdown. The prosciutto was thick and tough, glued to the cheese, making it a chore to chew. Prosciutto should be thinly sliced and delicate, but this was the opposite.
Overall, we left the restaurant sad and disappointed by a meal that failed to live up to its reputation.

Sottocasa has been a family staple for years. It’s has fantastic food and a wonderful atmosphere.
Food: It has options for almost every type of diet. The pizza, pasta and desserts are phenomenal. The oven brick pizza is has a thin crust, perfect char and insanely delicious toppings that are fresh.
Space: The restaurant has a front house and back area which is private. The music isn’t too loud and its wonderful place to have a family meal, go on a date or meet friends.
Overall would definitely recommend as it’s truly a perfect spot for amazing food and a relaxed environment.

WORST SERVICE GOOD FOOD. The black female mrs server kept on asking to take to plate while we were eating and threw the check at me. And the check came in with tip included without asking. The food was great.

My only complaint would be to have ventilated trays so that the hot pizzas don’t get soggy. Beat salad was amazing. Cocktails amazing. Pizzas amazing.

Best Napolitana pizza in Harlem! We start with 2 splendid salads, and next, the most fresh and soft pizza ever. The quality of the prosciutto is unquestionable, and the marinara was spectacular. Upstanding tiramisu and Gelato. I definitely want to eat here at least once a week. Thanks for the great experience.!!

Great Italian food. It was my first time trying authentic Italian food and it was better than I thought. The good focuses on the natural flavor of ingredients, so you will taste what you see. In overall, it seems like not much of seasoning was used, which I liked. Not greasy, fresh and light flavor, so even I could finish one pizza by myself. You will not get tired of pizza. The dough was also really good. Chewy but not hard. If you are used to New York pizza style or salty food with lot of seasonings, this pizza could be bland to you, but I actually liked this kinds of style. I got Verdure with Soppierssata added. I really enjoyed it and recommend it!

Okay, at this point it’s about a pile-on but this place is 5 stars for a reason. Puts other pizza joints to shame.
Edit: pizza and beer came super fast. So hot we nearly burned ourselves. But any burns would be self-inflicted

I love this place.
It isn't pizza. It is a gourmet Italian treat.
Their imported beer selection may well be the best in NYC.
Fresh ingredients, great wine, and great coffee. The best neopolitan style pizza I've ever had hands down.

There’s a reason this place is legit the highest rated pizza place in nyc on TripAdvisor. I’m a local not a tourist. They’ve been super attentive and direct from day one. Making simple but creative pizza with the best ingredients. Everyone we bring loves it.
