Taly O.Taly Ozir: Chicken basil pan fried dumplings are pretty money... But I doubt there is anything that comes in a form of a dumpling and is fried can be anything but....

John T.John Thrasher: Chicken and basil dumplings are so yum. Noodles with sesame sauce not so yum. Don't let the busy-ness and chaos distract you. Everyone here is very friendly and organized!

Omar A.Omar Amigon: Boiled chicken & basil dumplings are a must!!!!

Nicholas D.Nicholas Doyle: Great NY style cheese slice. Crispy, full of flavor, perfect ratio of cheese, and crust with amazingly complex flavor. Garnished with a lone basil leaf, this is not one to miss.

Brian G.Brian Grogan Jr.: Very tasty pizza made with fresh, good quality ingredients. The basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes all taste great, and the slices have just the right amount of crisp!

Noah W.Noah Weiss: Fantastic Taiwanese food — a unique menu even in NYC. Clams & basil, zhajiangmian (lamb noodles), and Lu Rou Fan (pork rice bowl) all great. Happy hour until 7. Heavily recommend.

Arthur K.Arthur Kozlovski: The Lu Rao Fan is spectacular, boasting with flavor for all of your comfort food needs. Marinated Cucumbers (simple, flavorful) + Pork Buns (dumplings) were exquisite.

Julie H.Julie Hahn: Perfect dinner here: fried calamari, skirt steak with basil spaghetti, sangria, tiramusu. It's completely worth the long (Saturday night) wait. The service is great too. I'm going back soon.

Cynthia L.Cynthia Lin: The best pizza I've had in a lonnnnng time! The classic burrata and basil was amazing. The crust is thick but fluffy inside and crisp on the edges!

Jeff F.Jeff Forbes: The best topping combo isn't on the menu: get a Vodka pie w/ Burrata + Basil. One of the best things I've eaten in forever.

Mike W.Mike Waterhouse: This place offers a NY pizza experience like no other. The deep dish-style crust is baked to perfection w/ a crispy outside & soft center. Each 6-slice pizza serves 1.5 people. Save room for dessert!

New York HabitatNew York Habitat: The choices are what makes Roberta's great. We recomment the Millenium Falco - tomato, pork sausage parmesan, garlic, basil, red onions, bread crumbs, and chili flakes. Whew!

JennyJenny: The working man = red sauce, mozzarella, and basil on a thick chewy piece of focaccia for $3. On top of that, they're super friendly and take credit cards, so I'm sold

Paul J.Paul J: The Famous Original and Margherita Pizzas are excellent. Have the Margherita with extra basil. I also like adding a little Calabrian chili oil

Chelsea B.Chelsea Balkan: One of my top 5 fav. Get the spicy tuna, the scallop, short rib slider, broccoli rabe, and bacon doughnuts. More than enough food for two.
