Cali Zimmerman: By far the best meal experience I've had in a while. Ask for Joshua. Get the duck lasagna, cauliflower steak, PBJ dessert (actually get anything) and you will not be disappointed. Top notch all around
Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Fantastic experience on all levels : service, ambiance and food. Start with cauliflower steak and wagyu meatballs, duck lasagna and a burger after and you will love happy and waiting to return.
Lindsey Kim: Best happy hour ever! Great food and drink specials. Snack on the deviled eggs, duck lasagna, chicken liver & foie gras toasts, and meatball!
Adrien: Get a hero sandwich for now, fresh lasagna for next meal, and frozen raviolis for later
Sam Winnick: Great little Italian market with tons of fresh made pasta and mozzarella.
Serious Eats: Italian deli with fresh pasta, standout hero sandwiches, and excellent fresh mozzarella.

Tudor Leu: No-frills Neapolitan pizza. Thin crust, great flavor. The Ripieno is nice. Pro tip: their pasta is also delicious.
Foodspotting: There are only five pizzas worth eating in New York & Luzzo’s is amongst them. Nothing beats their standard gooey margarita pie. - Soraya
Madeleine Root: The Tartufata pizza is the best thing in NYC. Mmmm, truffles.
