    Truly, one of the city’s most original menus. Service is attentive but unfussy. The cocktails and wine menu are curated in the best way. Every bite was better than the previous one. The pasta dishes are divine. Can’t wait to go back very soon.

    Pizza Secret has really good food with a great team. Everyone was happy to see us and treated us well. We had cacio e Pepe pizza which we devoured. Cacio e Pepe pasta and a different pasta which I didnt try. We all enjoyed everything we ordered but the biggest star was the Secret Salad. Simple, yet elegant, small but BIG flavor. It was so good we ordered another one so we wouldn’t have to share. Despite the intense heat outside and the trek to Brooklyn I will go there again… and again.

    An unforgettable evening in the cellar! We did the tasting menu with wine pairings, and everything—from start to finish—was exceptional. Each dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with thoughtful pairings that elevated the entire experience. The ambiance in the cellar added a cozy, intimate vibe that made it feel extra special. What really stood out, though, was the service—warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced. Every course felt like a celebration, and we never felt rushed. It’s rare to have a meal where both the food and hospitality are so equally top-notch. Highly recommend!
