This pizzeria offers pies approximate Neapolitan style but with a puffier crust and a more deliberately charred exterior. Topping include clams with guanciale , and white mushroom with truffle paste . Read more

Had an amazing brunch on Sunday. Brioche appetizer with crab crostini ...their pie with egg on it was delicious...and the eggs baked in cast iron with sausage made me scrape the dish clean .

Zeba Siddiqi

Their white mushroom pizza & truffles definitely a must try! They have long waiting lines at peak hours but you can grab a drink at the bar :)

Elisa

Pipe rigate pasta & white mushroom truffle pizza are delicious. Though I wish they're smaller slices (it's 4 big slices). Great cocktails & outdoor seating . Fast service . Reserve ahead for better spot

Sarah P.

White mushroom pizza with truffle paste was great. The dough is very tasty, especially the crust. Also got the pasta with spicy sausage . Great ambiance for date night or girls' night!

Natalie V

Great food here! We had the roasted chicken and sea scallops which were both delicious. Also, waiters give very good wine pairings so be sure to ask for their recommendation

Nikos Krodiras

White Mushroom pizza was delicious! Best pizza I have ever tasted! Staff is friendly , can be crowded so make a reservation .

Rory Parness

Pizza as you would expect from the BLT crew. Stellar crust, nicely charred with great pockets of air and a hint of butter. The charred cauliflower makes a great side

Skirt steak with chimichuri dauce & cauliflower is really tasty. We also shared the burrata , octopus with white beans , and the bucatini pasta with a large serving of lobster .

Stephen Sheppard

A surprisingly good place for brunch in midtown. Blueberry ricotta pancakes were delicious, and the "our bread " is amazing. I want to go back!

Sambuka

Great place. Amazing service. The actual place is cool. And the food is spectacular. We tried short ribs raviolis and they were absolutely delicious. We also tried the special pie and it was good.

Laurent Torondel is a bold chef . I love the atmosphere of this place, his sharp flavors and casual-chic menu, if that exists, but it's like a the comfort of a Jeans but still looking like custom made.

Danielle Dolgin

Truffle pizza is a great group starter. If you are looking for dessert , order the gelato - massive portion and it's DELICIOUS!!!

nicola forani

Simply an amazing place with great food and amazing staff ! You will not find such many great places in NYC !

Lauren Varga

I’d call this modern Italian. If you’re a seafood fan, this restaurant has a larger selection than your average Italian place - al fresco dining was lovely - pizzas are delish.

Jasmine Mehrabi

Omg the Brussels sprout salad was one of the best salads I’ve ever had. Pizza , mushroom ravioli , and bronzino were all great. Cute decor, open kitchen/alcove.

Charlottes

Solid Bloody Mary , wine list , wood fired pizza , and cauliflower side is incredible. Grab a drink by the fire while you wait for a table.

Caroline Schulweis

If I were in from out of town for work, I'd stay at the Eventi and eat here ????????

Jed Kass

The whole party needs to be there before they’ll seat you and it’s super loud , but the food is phenomenal! The mafaldine alla vongole and octopus were particularly highlights for me.

Paula Buzzo

Such a cute place, small but cozy ... Ask for Burrata as appetizer and for main Black Sea Bass .

Kathryn D

Great brunch spot with a nice variety of egg dishes . Make sure to order at least one pastry as a side to split.

Marisa Wong

Smoked ricotta gnudi is quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten in NYC. Mind. Blown.

Stefano Oliva

Expectations were high due to the 9.5 rating.Typical over-done Italian, too many ingredients cluttering the simplicity of the ingredients.Pizza very burnt, removed from the bill by very kind waitress .

Shrutika Sachdev

Sopressata Picante and Butternut Squash Ravioli did not dissapoint! (Make sure to check out the cool pizza ovens!)

Malcolm Ring

a wood-fired pizza that ­exemplifies all the winning ­attributes of the ­Neapolitan model — light and airy with just the right amount of tender

Ozgur Ulku

Best pasta I've ever had. Even better than the ones I've tried in Tuscany
