I have lived in the neighborhood for years and I'm always pleased with their service. Extremely friendly staff and the food is always consistently good. Pizza is not bad. The buffalo wings are my favorite.

Great ambience, good food, lots of fun in a neighborhood where it's hard to find a great restaurant
Terrible. Service was not quick My salmon dish wash not fresh nor cooked all the way.

very disappointed...the man outside was very likable and talked us into dining there even though we were heading some where else. once in, other than the waiter's HELPER (the helper did a great job with the drinks and bread, clearing the plates, etc.)it was nothing to talk about, no personal attent...
I visited Luce after a fashion show during Lincoln Center BID's 'fashion plate prix-fixe' promotion http://www.lincolnsquarebid.org/news/view/fashion-plate-prix-fixe-2011 This restaurant was advertised as promoting a 3-course prix-fixe dinner. I confirmed this with the hostess, a 5'4" female with l...
I love this place!!!!....truly a FAVORITE of mine. If you are looking for a place for a special dinner (in Downtown Manhattan) - THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!
we came here for the day in the city...and this lace was open...no one around inside thought it was closed...but foound people hanging in the back of the place....we ordered simple dishes nothing crazy---food was a verage, but the service and staff...are a punch of fouled mouth people..not pleasant ...
place is a 5 star mess. service was absent. food was not there. prces are ridiculous. rodents running around...it seemed to be a pet store! staff too busy smoking cigarettes or talking on cell phones. orders prepared wrong..... so overall rating is 2 grade -d (D)---EQUALS DUMP
You're the greatest! JMHO
we were in the city for the weekend.....and decided tro grab a bite to eat along the tribeca area. we chose this place being it was very quiet and tables available...(we went in blind). we ordered a couple of drinks (wAITED FOREVER), then ordered some appetizers for the table. received our plates a ...
THIS PLACE COULDNT GET ANY WORSE.....IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU COULD GET FOOD POISONING FORM A BASIC PASTA DISH... WELL, YOU CAN IF YOU GO IN HERE. MAYBE IT WAS THE ROACHES RUNNING AROUND IN THE BACK THAT WE SAW, THAT GOT US SICK.... MESS!!!!!!!
I absolutely love Bella Napoli! I visit New York at least once every 2 years and ALWAYS stop by to eat the delicious pizza. The owner and family are very nice and very helpful. If you are planning a trip to New York Bella Napoli is a must!!!!!
Candela Candela is one of my favorite spots on the East Side; I love to bring dates here and enjoy one of their amazing pastas or alternatively bring my friends to their excellent Mojito Bar.
The food was great. At first glance it seems a little different but once you walk in it is very small and cozy. Very enjoyable.
I'm not the type of person to write a review on any restaurant, but sometimes you have one of those experiences that you can't let go unknown. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the food, atmosphere, and service at this restaurant. I've spent many lunch hours here for great food and ...
This is NYC's best kept secret. The Grandma slice is absolutely out of this world, with many layers of flavor with the blend of 4 different cheeses plus great sauce and flavorful crust. The entree portions are ABUNDANT and all reasonably priced.
This restaurant is tucked away on one of the last most desolate corners in SO HO. However once you arrive it is an oasis of great food at reasonable prices in a very comfortable setting;always plenty of fresh floral arrangements.It has thrived there for thirty years under the same ownership. They h...
I ate there last week. Very bad tasteless food, wine from a flagon that i was charged $18.95 for a carafe full of it. Bad, cheap wine. And then they automatically add a 15% tip to your bill!! How dare they assume all is well. It was awful. Do not eat there.
My girlfriend and I ate dinner here after a show. I've lived in Italy twice in the past for a total of over 5 years and this is authentic Italian fare, and done superbly. Our server (Annie) was super (attentive and helpful without being over watchful), as was the rest of the staff. Our salads, pa...
if you want terible cheap service then this is the place for you. the waiter are more concerned with getting drunk behind the bar then actual helping customers. why you ask? becuase is tip is included so regardless they will get whatever they want... complete ripoff. fried rat on a stick would have ...
