Very good service, and amazing food and drink! We came on a busy Friday night and couldn't have been more satisfied by all that we ordered. The espresso martini was the best I've ever had, with freshly brewed espresso right in front of us! And I ordered the gnocchi with chicken and I ate every last bite, wishing for more! Cannot wait to visit again on my next NYC trip!

Ambiance: calming and a warm environment with a wine decor that is uniform. That calms me. Don't judge. Service: the staff was awesome. She recommended the best dishes. So friendly and attentive. Wishing her luck with her career on broadway. Food: The focaccia was so amazing. The olive oil and cream dipping sauce was to die for. Artichoke was great. The pasta special that was recommended was so good. The Branzino one of the best I've ever eaten.

Promptly greeted by the bar tender as the hostess was seating someone else. Ordered the Ceasar salad, bread (served with ricotto herb cheese in olive oil), meatballs and Margherita pizza. All of it was delicious. While I am not gluten free, I always check the GF menus at local spots and I was very impressed with their gf menus which is seasonal. Sebastian, or waiter tempted me with a sample of the house red chianti wine after I was a little disappointed with the Barbera D'asti. The music was upbeat and while audible, it wasn't too loud to carry a quiet conversation. Overall, great spot. We will be back

I went here with a friend for brunch yesterday before going to see the amazing Audra in Gypsy! I got there almost 30min early but the waiter got me seated at the table. He was friendly & happy to give recommendations. We started with the burrata to share--it was a rather (unfortunately) small ball of the delicious cheese, which came with 2 toasted baguette slices & a tasty tomato spread. For my entree I got the socca with eggs (a round chickpea "flatbread" with spinach & cheese topped with 2 eggs), which I liked a lot, different from anything I've tasted before. Washed it down with a refreshing mint lemonade. My friend enjoyed her omelette & Bloody Mary & tea. I was tempted looking at their homemade pastas & personal-size pizzas--another time! Wish the tables were a little bigger & spaced further apart, but I like that they have hooks on the walls to hang up your coat.

Fantastic dinner. Brittney was our server and she was fantastic and attentive. We had fritto mix as appetizer. Calamari were very well cooked. Margherita pizza was big and flavorful. Rigatoni with meat sauce was the special of the night and was delicious. Overall a fantastic experience.

Good but not great food at a reasonable price. I got a mushroom pasta that was well executed but the mushrooms tasted like they were canned. Though it is technically wheelchair accessible, both the restaurant and the patio get packed. Fair enough, but when the staff is not thoughtful it makes for a difficult time getting to the table. I had an outdoor reservation and clearly noted that I use a wheelchair, yet they put us at a two top in a corner while there were other couples dining at four top tables that had much easier access closer to the door of the restaurant that they could have just as easily saved for us and sat the people who don't have wheelchairs in the less accessible spot. Would have been fair enough if it was a party of three or four that actually needed that space, but when it's a choice between any two people they should have thought about this. Luckily I could make it work after asking them to move some plants. I'm not sure if their restroom is accessible, but it probably would be hard to get to with how packed the tables are indoors. I love that they still have their outdoor seating and the heat lamps make it cozy. I will be back for that reason and that reason only as there are so few outdoor options now that the neighborhood Karens killed the sheds is disabled people have depended on throughout the pandemic.

A friend told us that Nizza has good gluten free pizza and so my husband and I stopped by tonight and we were not disappointed! The interior is warm and inviting with a cute patio area to sit outside and the menu has a lot of options - including some great bottles of Italian wine. Brittney was our server and she did an excellent job - she was incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu. They have an entire gluten free menu with a lot of options that I was grateful for. My husband got the soup of the day (Minestrone), myself the Arugula Salad, and we shared the gluten free sausage pizza and ciabatta bread. Everything was sooo good! We wished we lived closer and can't wait to go back!

Came here before a broadway show, walked in and no wait. The food was solid Italian, honestly nothing too crazy. The caprese salad was fresh. The fried zucchini, shrimp & calamari was different and had a spicy marinara sauce which was a nice touch as well. The pizza was as perfect size to share and yummy as well. Our server was super nice and have great recommendations. The service was fast and swift and we were able to be in and out quickly so we didn't miss our show. Only thing I will say is some of the items were on the pricey end for what it was.
