It's like home and better then home ! – This is my favorite Italian restaurant/pizzeria in NYC and I love the new pizza!! The dough has that savory taste that melts in your mouth !! I suggest to try Monte Bianco, to be pared with one of the nice Barbera they have !! Yes, trust any of their friendly waiters, they know how to help , it can be difficult with such a wide and "decadent" choice of superb wines. Of course do not forget to try the three "portate" menu, you can create your own " testing menu" at a reasonable price, a... read more

Service with a smile.NOT! – The polenta appetizer was pretty good. The spinach and garlic appetizer was also pretty good. The pizza was doughy. A waitress with a Polish accent coolly misguided us through the wine list. She was good. She repeated the wine we ordered three times to make sure we agreed. We later realized that that last syllable of her pronouncements, the one that was hard to understand, was for a wine with a similar name but almost twice the cost. When we received the check I looked at my friend. She looked at ... read more

BEWARE THIEVING WAITER – We went to La Pizza Fresca last night to celebrate our friend's engagement. We have all been there numerous times and loved it, last night though would be our last visit. There was a group of 12 of us, we ordered lots of food and wine, enjoying ourselves BUT our waiter was horrible. He broke (yes broke) an entire bottle of red wine over our friend's purse. Service seemed a bit disorganized, the servers and busboys were great and basically took on the role of our waiter who was not attentive. The bigg... read more

Must get Pizza Margherita and Rigatoni Siciliana !! – Must gets: Pizza Margherita and Rigatoni Siciliana. The pizza is thin, made from brick oven in the back, and has fresh buffalo mozzarella, cooked to perfection. Makes for a good app. I have not met anyone that did not like the rigatoni siciliana, which has great tasting marinara sauce and melted mozzarella and eggplant. Also, wines by the glass are typically pretty good (and good value). They also make a good caprese salad (mozz / tom / basil). Usually easy to get seating... read more

very disappointing – My wife and I went to this place last night for dinner and we felt sick afterward. The waiters were friendly, although not too attentive. My dish tasted great, but after the meal and for the rest of the night I felt ill. My wife's dish on the otherhand was inedible. It was as if the kitchen dumped tablespoons of salt in it. Then they tried to overcharge us on the bill too. The ambience was very nice though. Might just have been one of those rare bad experiences, but I have never tasted a more vile dish t... read more

Vera Pizza Napoletana – When I saw that their website had a link to da Ciro in Napoli, I knew there was going to be good pizza! Their Margarita is best I've had since I've returned from Naples! The tomatoes, the crust, the mozzarella--everything is perfect! Brava La Pizza Fresca!

Nice pastas, but I wish I had ordered pizza... – I came here with a friend and we both had really delicious pastas... mine was pesto linguini with shrimp and hers linguini with a pomodoro sauce and lobster... both were really great, but came out a little warm (not hot). However, looking at the table next to ours, we both sort of wished we had ordered pizza, which looked PERRRRRRRRRFECT. Still, nice service and the desserts were great... Lovely tiramisu and a DELICIOUS molten chocolate cake that was incredibly rich and wonder... read more

Authentic Neapolitan pizza! – I've eaten here many times and find myself continuing to come back. Maybe because if you want to eat authentic Neapolitan pizza, this is the only place you can go in NYC. The thickness of the pizza, the amount of cheese, olive oil they put on, etceverything is balanced. Also, the ingredients they use for their menu are of very good quality. And who else has this great wine list to go with pizza? They do their best to make you comfortable while you are there since their staff hasn't changed in ye... read more
