• Pizzeria • West Village
Booked 80 times today
A typical food love story. A boy meets a girl while eating pizza. He attends culinary school and open’s a pizza restaurant named after the girl. Thus bringing us to Emily! The Manhattan iteration of the Brooklyn based pizzeria centered around a historic brick oven and comforting food. Emily has earned a following for its signature Detroit-style pies and award winning burger. The pizza here is rectangular (not round) and utilizes the "frico" technique, in which cheese is drizzled on the edges of the pie to create a crispy brown exterior. Beyond the main event, the menu extends to include salads and sandwiches, which shouldn't be ignored (think an attention-grabbing burger and a top-notch spicy fried chicken sandwich). Please note, there will be a time limit of 1 hour 30 minutes for guests so we can fairly utilize our limited capacity. Our outdoor dining is enclosed with heaters that will keep you toasty! Thank you :)

    A lovely restaurant! The atmosphere was energetic and service was excellent. Food was good, salad and artichoke appetizer excellent. Hamburger was good, shrimps were a bit dried out, but had a good taste. It was a birthday celebration and nothing was done to acknowledge it by the restaurant. Oh well!!! Would definitely recommend the RH Rooftop. Hope to return in the spring or summer to sit outside.

    Great bone marrow appetizer and best NY strip in NYC. The dry age and charcoal grilled flavor is a home run. Beautiful room. Although the acoustics made it a little too loud.

    I usually bring friends here from out of town to impress them! This time my dear friend from NC came with his Mom. When you first walk in , the charming ambiance just makes you smile ear to ear. The sight of the lit fireplace adds to the nostalgia of this beautiful home that once was. The staff greets us with lovely smiles and greetings. We ordered a lunch of cream of broccoli soup for my friends and I always get their wonderful Onion Soup. I had their personal thin crust pizza with prosciutto topping. My friend had mini sliders he really liked. And his mom had a delicious goat cheese walnut salad. We also had the wonderful pleasure of meeting the owner, Jack, who entertained us with the history of the home that’s his restaurant now. The Ivy Inn never disappoints!! Thank you.

    Honestly Chez Fifi is the closest I've felt to being in Paris I've ever felt going to dine in New York. The service, ambiance, and food are excellent. The bar is stunning as well as the private dining room was such a treat. As for the food - I highly recommend the tuna with caviar, the endive salad, and the crab. The mushroom omelet rivals the best in the city and the potato dishes were sublime. Everyone agreed the chocolate mousse was exceptional and we were already planning a trip back at the end of the meal. From a to z, everything was incredible.
