Tapas Restaurants near Staten Island, NY

“Just go !! Wonderful place ! And the owner is…. Amazing !!“

“I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It’s so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I’ll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars“

“Best food and margaritas!!“

“super small place oy about 6 tables plus a few bar seats. food is super expensive but we had Erin as our server and she was absolutely wonderful. can't say enough nice things about her. super friendly and very attentive to our needs. she made it a wonderful experience. food was not great, a little bit greasy and very overpriced. there's literally about 4 choices on the entire menu. Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“In a world where chaos and mediocrity too often prevail, it is a rare and invigorating experience to encounter a pizzeria that stands as a beacon of order and excellence.

The decor is warm and unpretentious, the lighting soft yet deliberate—a space that invites you to sit, to breathe, to reconnect. It is not ostentatious, nor is it neglectful; it strikes that rare chord of intentional simplicity that calms the spirit and focuses the mind. Here, the act of eating transcends mere consumption and becomes a shared ritual, a moment of communion in an age too often defined by isolation

The staff, too, embody virtues that resonate deeply. They are attentive without hovering, competent without arrogance—each interaction a small but meaningful demonstration of responsibility and care.

This is no trivial thing; it reflects a commitment to the dignity of the individual, a principle that ripples outward from the kitchen to the plate.

And then there is the price—fair, reasonable, and reflective of the quality bestowed upon you. It is not a gouging demand, nor a cheap shortcut, but an honest exchange that honors both the effort of those who create and the patronage of those who partake. In a culture where value is often distorted by greed or undervalued by apathy, this pizzeria stands firm in its integrity, offering a meal that satisfies both body and soul without exploiting either, or compromising much of anything.

In sum, this pizzeria is more than a place to eat—it is a humble archetype of what humanity can achieve when we strive for excellence with purpose and pride. It is a sanctuary where the chaos of the everyday is held at bay, where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life’s possibilities. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who seeks not just a good pizza, but a taste of the transcendent in the ordinary.

While it is excellent, excellence is a virtue that must be maintained, I think this team is up for the task.

All in all Comet Pizza is my favorite thing since Russell Crowe screamed 'Are you not entertained?!' in the hit motion picture Gladiator back in 2000. I’d fight a tiger in the arena for their pepperoni pie.

It’s pretty good! Definitely will come back!!!“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“This place does NOT disappoint. The new beyond burger - special until 10/31 - was INCREDIBLE. Best vegan burger I've ever had. Hubby had the wings, he said fire!! And the birria burger... Delicious. The food is amazing & the staff top notch STELLAR!“
