    We really enjoyed our meal. We were seated immediately and the server was very attentive. The place is small but the overall look is still pretty fun. We had the tortellini brodo which was delicious, the antipasto salad which was also very good, a plain pizza that was surprisingly flavorful and the chicken Parm which had nice flavor but the texture of the chicken could have been much crispier. Overall, a very good place and much more affordable than most NYC restaurants that you can sit down in.

    Pizza was delicious, a little older and warm inside but a great meal. Beers priced well, pizza and apps a bit pricier but still a decently priced meal for a family.

    Pizza was not what I'd call authentic NY pizza but it was tasty. Antipasto salad was very good. Kind of a neighborhood dive experience...but that was what we were looking for.

    Food was great and atmosphere was pretty neat. Servers weren’t overly friendly - but good enough. Could have used some music or something as there were points of eerie silence in the background of our conversation. Came here because of Barstool review and pizza was very good.

    Bar stool fans and wanted to try a 9.3 rated pizza. Too bad it was tasted more like a 7.3. Pre-theater on a wed night. 4 tables occupied, most were eating or waiting for server to bring them there check. We sat down little after 6 for 6 pm res. We looked at menu at ordered a regular cheese pizza and 1 ice tea and 1 water at 6.25 pm. Other guests started to arrive and placed orders after us. After 20 mins and the other people’s food was coming out, we stopped our waiter and asked how much longer? He gave us a very un hospitable look as though we just ordered 5 mins ago. Then we waited until 6:57 (30+ mins after ordering) for our 1 pizza to come out. Meanwhile other tables got there pizzas and entrees second later. The pizza looked good and was burning hot, however, the pizza has very little flavor. We kept on adding spices and seasoning to get it to taste better. What a disappointment and the place is a hole in the wall and doesn’t even have a rating from the board of health yet. Will not be going back.

    The food was very good, had the gnocci bolognese and it was perfect! The service was fast, a bit too fast b/c i had about 4 minutes to eat my salad before the entree came out. But if you have theatre tickets and not much time the fast service works. They didn't rush us to leave though so if you wanted to hang around there was no real pressure. The atmosphere was just ok, needs a bit of an upgrade to the tables and overall look but for an affordable, tasty, quick meal it is perfect.
