Food was really good and the place has a cozy, old shop vibe. Portions are pretty generous so it's good to share or take home.

The only thing I liked was the Mcdonalds Chicken nuggets. Its got a nice ambiance. The pizza was whatever and the pasta was mehh. Spent over $150 for 2 people. Its a shame because I love Gordos cantino, there Mexican food is a 5/5.

The staff was wonderful! The food was just ok. The pasta we had : 1 had a spicy sauce which was unexpected and the other was under cooked. Pizza was just ok.The bathroom decor was naked lady posters on the wall. So just FYI before you go there if that bothers you or if you have kids.

Been here twice now. Both times I thought the food was almost disgusting. Caesar salad with fried, oily, dark meat chicken. And the pizza is so doughy and cheesy and thick. Not your typical NY style. But most outrageous are the prices. Two of us- we shared one pizza, one appetizer, and each got one drink. $85. So many better pizza and Italian places in the neighborhood.

2 & 1/2...I totally get that spots like this can totally be "not about the food" and totally about the scene and atmosphere, but I would argue even under those perimeters the food should be at least solid. Unfortunately in this case that floor is shattered and the food quality falls down into sub-par territory. Rigatoni Alfredo, given with the on trend addition of kale was extremely pasty in consistency and almost completely flavorless. Lumache in a supposedly "spicy" vodka sauce was not only not at all spicy but the most overarching flavor and consistency profile was watery. In both cases the pasta was well past al dente. Pizza is thicker than usual for NY style and likewise middling in quality, the type that might be found at a below average late night pizzeria that could rank as "decent if you are drunk". Perhaps that pizza will do just the trick for many here as, admirably it's one of the few establishments of this type I can think of that offers pizza by the slice, crucially often in combination with shots and drink during the happy hour. Also the place has some interesting (if perhaps overpriced) cocktails including a unique twist on an espresso martini that sort of takes on the look and features of an iced tea. Plus the decor and corresponding vibes are pretty top notch, with the big vibrant, colorful and nostalgically decorated space with the impressive pool table at the center of the room and vintage video games, seems like a fun place to take a group with kids. Tis a pity about the food though....

I love everyone here. They always strive to make it a fun time. Fresh menu items regularly and a very comfortable hang out spot.
Fly me to the Moon (or Velmas)! My boyfriend and I are huge Gordo's fans! Velma is the Italian pizzeria sister restaurant. And even closer to home. We went before a show and were more than excited to hear that it was Sinatra Night! Hell yeah. I love Frank Sinatra. What a perfect date night. The band also played songs from Elvis Costello and the Carpenters. I noticed some older gentleman came to watch them. He drove to the show and ordered a hefty size of creamy pasta. This guy is my hero. We ordered the calamari to start. And Nick had a Birra Morreti and I had the "Diesel" cocktail that had the perfect amaro mix! The cocktail was balanced with sweet, strong and still remained smooth. The mushroom "Funghi" pizza was banging. I loved seeing the whole mushrooms on top. And the pesto marries well with the flavors. We devoured our decadent date night meal while time traveling to a different era with the tunes. Highly recommend having an intimate dinner here or get a little group going. The best was leftover pizza for breakfast!

Really solid pizza. I wasn't as into the salad I got. I didn't see that you could buy individual slices, so my friend and I ordered a whole pizza and took all the leftovers home. Service was honestly excellent. Everyone was so nice. Ambiance was visually great, but oddly hard to find a seat because there actually aren't that many seats and it was super loud on a Thursday night because a live band was playing.

Had an early dinner with my wife and baby and got their special 32oz NY strip. It was legitimately one of the best steaks I had ever had in my life. Perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, incredible crust, and 1/2 the price you would pay at a steakhouse. The Velma salad was also super tasty and had a generous amount of pistachios.The music and ambiance were great and the service was super friendly which I really appreciate.
