    This brightly outfitted Midtown pizza place is always packed & its patio is especially inviting in cooler weather – with good reason: The pizza has only steadily improved since it first opened. Read more

    If you’re in for lunch or dinner, you must try the gnocchi pompei (tomato sauce+fresh basil). Get as an appetizer to share so there’s less guilt with indulging in BOTH pasta and pizza. Read more

    The gnocchi was absolutely fantastic! Could use a few more craft beer choices on the menu, though.

    The 29th of every month is Gnocchi Day -- all you can eat gnocchi, served in numerous different sauces. Unbeatable deal.

    Try the Rio de Janeiro. If you've never had catupiry cheese, you're in for a treat.

    Pizza! Keep it simple to maximize experience. Also, they open new cans of anchovies for the pizza if that's your deal

    So I go to the 24Hrs Fitness right above Piola and I wanted a quick nosh after my workout. The rating on Yelp and Google are not as good but I tried it anyway. Should have listened to Yelp and Google!

    Totally overpriced. Beware — the $25 pizzas are personal pies with only 4 small slices and not marked as such!

    29th of the month Gnocchi is alright. Pretty generic sauces that you can buy from a store. For $13 bucks, you're better off ordering something else.

    Too judgmental of their patrons to make it worth it. Skip it and go to Gloria's.
