Michelle C.: NY Foodie Reco: App: braised pork belly, crispy oyster & Hatch chile kimchee Dinner: Smoked fettucini, w/uni, Hackleback caviar & pickled shallot, Dessert: choc. mousse
The Corcoran Group: Great Midtown business lunch spot. Try the bacon lobster roll.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.

ℳansour αℓтαууαr: Go for a Pizza. They got a Gluten-Free ones. Very nice people, nice seating and a great food.
JennyJenny: Overlooked calamari, bland pizza, lentil soup is pile of lentils with no broth & they didn't honor the foursquare specials. Don't waste your money.
wayneywonder: Dont waste your time here ive been to Italy the pizza here does not compare the other tips are unreliable... They also didnt give me my free app for the 4 square special jerks..

Lakshman Prasad: The best pizza I have had in NYC. Fast, good and they have whole wheat ones too.
David Greenberger: The place lives up to its name. 1 of the top 3 slices I've had in NYC. No need to get fancy, the plain and mini pepperoni slices are out of this world.
Rodrigo Salazar: MUCH better than Ultimate Pizza, everyone knows that

Jane A: Eggplant tomato soup and wild mushroom, pesto, mozzarella pizza are amazing!
Douglas Kurdziel: They have moved some hot sandwiches (like the wonderful Telera and steak sandwich) to the counter in the back - don't miss them!

Max Flashenberg: Came here for restaurant week, one of the best filets I have ever had! Great meal all around
Hinter: Top3 best steaks i've ever had. Glass wine not so good
David Kearns: The Surf and Turf was pretty good. The sides are bland, the seating is uncomfortable, and the service leaves something to be desired. The prices are a bit extreme. Basically $40 a plate and up.
