    Rating this was really hard for me because my group had a VERY fun time here. However, the service was very poor. Seated at 9:40 PM for a 9 PM reservation was not fun. I made this reservation WEEKS in advance. Took forever for a waitress to get to us once we sat down. After ordering drinks it took about 30-40 minutes to receive the drink. One person in my party didn’t get her drink for literally 2 hours. She got up multiple times to remind them about it. There was a very large piece of hair in my pizza that I pulled out of my mouth which turned off my appetite completely. The atmosphere was fun - dancing on tables and what not - but do not expect fast service here at all. If it wasn’t for the fun dancing and music I would give this zero stars.

    Food was great, but service was very slow. We were the first to be seated outside and last to be served. Took almost 2 hours from start to finish. Few items on the Drink menu were available.

    A favorite place for years. It’s takeout operation helped me get through the dark days of the NYC pandemic. In the past year things have been slipping. Tonight my favorite Gnocchi with Pesto was ruined with excessive amounts of salt—almost caustic—mentioned it to the server.

    Hmm..very underwhelmed by this place. Was visiting the city and heard a lot about this place. Was a little disappointed in the value/service here. I ordered the margarita pizza, and when I have to eat my pizza with a fork and knife, its then too thin. My one daughter ordered the pesto gnocchi. Delicious sauce, but the gnocchi were super tiny and quite expensive for the size. We also ordered the potato croquets. 12 bucks for 3 tiny little things. I'm suprised this got a Michelin star. To each his own, but in my opinion, not a contender, next time I return to this great city.

    Took the waiter 35 minutes to make their first stop at our table, and they were unapologetic and rude when we finally managed to wave them over. They were out of literally 6/7 beer options on the menu. iPad menu was out of battery and it took 20 minutes to get another one. Food is OK but overpriced, and they clearly have terrible management. Will not return.

    The food was excellent, but the service was not. Everything started off on the wrong foot when we weren't seated for 20 minutes past when our reservation was scheduled for. The other parties around us were having similar issues and were not too happy. When we sat down we immediately ordered drinks and the appetizer special. The drinks took an incredibly long time to get; we were almost finished with our appetizer by the time they arrived. We had only ordered two glasses of wine. The tables next to us had their pizza within 15 minutes, but ours took 40 minutes once the appetizers were finished. We didn’t order anything customized. After our pizza arrived, the waitress never came by to check on us. We ended up having to order another drink through another waitress and eventually asking a busser for the check. The music was OK when we arrived, but by 8:30 pm, it was turned up to a level that made it very difficult to talk to the person sitting across from me. It’s not a bar or a club, so it didn’t make sense for the music to be so loud. Because the pizza is so good, I’m sure we will order takeout in the future, but neither of us will ever dine in person again.

    Don’t eat here. The food was pretty impressive, but unfortunately the service was terrible. Our waitress never came back to talk to us and we were going to order both a bottle of wine and dessert and she never came back. The manager came over and talked to us and said the waitress was "overwhelmed" but as someone who worked in the service industry I explained you can ask for help, but I counted the times she went to the other tables and it was three times per table, but us not once after we ordered. We had to request our check. I'm sorry but it was a bad experience and I wouldn't recommend them. We were also celebrating our engagement. Sooo bad.
