The New York TimesSeptember 8, 2010Antipasti, some rich pastas, a pizza to share. Drink a little valpol. This was new here once, and important, and still as good as it ever was, for just this sort of meal. Read more
Top three dishes I have ever had in my life. Duck special with wild rice. Had it three days in a row.
David SchorrMay 17, 2010The Duck Breast is awesome. The pizza is good. The crust has a nice flavor and is crispy. Chickpea fried are great.
Diana SMay 26, 2012Outdoor seating in the spring/summer...Stick to basic pizzas. Pizzas is Overpriced, campo di Fiori has MUCH better pizza right down the street on 5th
Find. Eat. Drink.August 14, 2010Chef Ayoub was one of the first to make artisanal pizza in New York. The mozzarella and sausage are house-made. Read more
One of the staff's most popular pizzas is the original monzese pizza with pancetta added...EPIC!
Eugenie HarrisonNovember 14, 2010Wait across the street at High Dive (score a window seat), give the hostess your cell and they will call when the table is ready.- David SchorrMay 17, 2010Duck Breast is awesome. The pizza is good too...much better than their Williaburg location.
BlackboardEatsJune 21, 2011Grilled pizzas w/ a thin & charred crust that folds easily to support the fresh toppings. Read more
etravelprojectJune 5, 2010The correct spelling of Pizza Ala Grilla is Pizza alla griglia. I have not tried it yet.
Frank ValletuttiDecember 1, 20102 thumbs down. No meats & cheese plate BUT you can order a meats plate & a cheese plate for $16 & $15 each. Food is average. So is service. We came, we saw, we ate, & we won't be coming back again.
Jason YovanoffJuly 8, 2011This was one of the worst meals I've had in the slope. Cocktails are poorly made. Food was so poorly prepared that our waiter ended up comping most of our meal.
Helen LeeJune 13, 2010First, the pizza: sauce is great, crust sucks and the cheese is meh. Do NOT order the pencil dick sausages. Highway robbery!
Brad WillardMay 28, 2011Go some place else. This place has lost all allure. I've had too many boring meals here to justify ever returning.
Clyde Erwin BarrettoNovember 11, 2010The Pizza here is average in my opinion. Not worth the price you're paying for.
