Anusha P.Anusha Pachunuri: We got the Marinara pizza. I actively hate marinara sauce but they proved me wrong. So good! I'm already thinking abt the next I'm going to be here! Lovely ambience too, cozy!

Edgar M.Edgar Mave: Delicious, wine and food. Perfect formula = Macaroni with prosciutto + Pizza Marinara + Cascina Boschetti + excellent service

PiaPia: The meatballs and crudo mozz (made in-house) were delish. Our waiters were friendly and personal. The ambiance is cozy and intimate with candlelight and exposed red brick. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.

Russell H.Russell Hirschorn: Best pizza in midtown east on 1st over Marinara, Soph and Best on 1st. Margherita, buff and bbq packd w. quality chicken, veg is awesome, wife loves pear and the rice balls are killer at $3.

Zdenek F.Zdenek Farana: Pretty good actually, don't let the rating distract you. Crust crispy, not super thin, but I did like it very much! Vodka sauce is all the rage, sausage one was packed with sausage. A bit pricier.

Polina W.Polina Weitz: They have a nice variety of toppings, and their crust is nice (not thin though). They allowed me to made substitutions on their pizzas. Loved both the Wild mushrooms and the Quattro Stagioni.
