Rubirosa

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Traditional Italian food in a lively not sleepy atmosphere with great service. We sat at the bar and everyone was so nice! The melon salad special, the two pastas and pizza were all excellent. The wine pours are GENEROUS! Worth all the hype - go now!

Always on a wait FOR GOOD REASON! We didn't make a reservation, but they always have the bar and a couple tables for walk-ins. The hostess and server were both exceptionally friendly. The meatballs were excellent, as were their special garlic knots. The pizza we had was world-class; I especially enjoyed that it wasn't too cheesey. The pizza was delicate and balanced. The wine was smooth and pure! I even had an opportunity to speak with the manager and he was great vibes.

Amazing tomato sauce and over all flavor of the pizza! The gluten free crust was thin and crunchy, so if that’s what you like this is for you! The size was very large! The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy but lively. The staff were friendly and fast! Menu mentioned it would take extra time to bake the gluten free pizza but it took no time at all I was there around 4pm.

This place has become the most favorite pizza in NYC. I ordered Tie-Dry Pizza and Black and white tagliatelle pasta. I love thin crust pizza, the green sauce is pesto and fresh mozzarella. It’s so amazing. I also love the pasta. The flavor is good.

This place sits up there not just as my favorite Italian restaurant in the city, but maybe THE favorite out of all the cuisines. The tie-dye pizza is to die for. It’s a perfect combination of tomato, vodka, and pesto sauce on top of a perfectly cooked and crispy pie. Literally it is amazing and I dream about it. I tried the baked clams the last time I went and wow. I didn’t think I liked clams but I like Rubirosa clams. The bread to start might be the softest bread in Manhattan. We also tried the melon salad on the specials menu and it was incredible. This is a MUST hit if you’re visiting.

You must try the honey pie pizza it is surprisingly amazing. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The crust is so thin but still crispy. Best to make a reservation so that you aren’t waiting long for a seat.

This is the best pizza restaurant I've been to so far. I arrived a little past noon and it was a full house, but I was seated immediately. Service was a bit slow because of the volume of people and not because the staff was slacking so no hate there. I ordered the 10" half pepperoni and half original. The pizza was thin-crust and nice. Normally, I don't like too much acidity in my tomato sauce, but this was different. The acidity made all the other flavors pop. I paid $28 + tax and tip. It was a bit pricy, but definitely worth a visit. I'm coming back.

Great food! The pizza is unique, thin and crispy. The seafood was good, but some mussels were frozen - you could tell from the taste. Amazing meatballs! Come in earlier or later to avoid the long lines. Great for a casual date!

Amazing Italian food with a great gluten free selection. My table tried a few things and we can tell you that you can't go wrong with anything you order! Definitely make a reservation if you can. We came pretty early in the day and still had a 1.5 hour wait as a walk-in party. It's worth the wait, but still would be better to skip the wait if possible

We heard about this restaurant on a food tour and decided to stop in for lunch. The place is small but inviting. The staff was warm and friendly. We ordered the tie dye pizza. It was a beautiful pie that tasted even better. The sauce was flavorful and the crust was crispy. The 14 inch pizza was plenty for two. This restaurant will be a frequent eating spot for future NYC trips.
