Prosciutto & Burrata
Ellen C.

Emporio was a frustrating dinner, mostly because the service really derailed the night. We had an 8:45 reservation and weren't seated until around 9:00, which would have been manageable if things had improved from there. Instead, we felt forgotten once we sat down. We didn't get water at first, and we didn't put in our order until 9:31, only after we had to track down our waitress. We ordered the prosciutto and burrata appetizer, I got the branzino, and my friends ordered pastas. The appetizer took about 20 minutes to come out, and when it finally arrived, it was wrong, so it had to be sent back. That meant even more waiting, which felt pretty ridiculous at that point. The atmosphere also didn't help. It was very loud, to the point where it was difficult to hear people at the table. I can appreciate a lively restaurant, but this crossed into uncomfortable. Maybe it was an off night, but between the delayed seating, lack of attentiveness, missing water, incorrect appetizer, and noisy dining room, the experience was hard to enjoy.

Pizza Prosciutto Margherita
Yahaira V.

Absolutely delicious! Everything was so flavorful and prepared perfectly. The focaccia & ricotta, and tagliatelle Alfredo were my favorites. The pizza was also amazing you can never go wrong with brick oven. The dim lighting and ambiance make it perfect for a girls night or a date night. The service was great, and I highly recommend making a reservation since it does get really busy. We were seated at the bar, which we didn't mind at all.

Fabuloso! This was our first stop for our Foods of NY Tour with Bert. We watched as they made pizza from scratch with fresh dough, basil, mozzarella, and prosciutto. The pizza was paired with a small glass of red wine and amazing new friends hailing from down under. We also learned that our tour guide has had a Leo (swoon) sighting here in the past. In general though, the vibes at Emporio are top notch. I'd definitely come back for a full experience with more of that delicious pizza.

Focaccia
Leora S.

We came to Emporio around 5 p.m., and it was pretty empty, so we were able to get a nice seat right away. Our waiter was attentive and quickly brought us water and menus. We started with the focaccia and croquettes. The focaccia was really good I think they use the same dough (or something very similar) for their pizza. It came with whipped ricotta and honey, which was my favorite part. The sweetness of the honey paired perfectly with the slight saltiness of the ricotta. The croquettes were also delicious. They were oval-shaped with a crispy, golden exterior, and the inside was filled with hot risotto and gooey melted mozzarella that stretched with every bite. Next, we had the Margherita pizza. It was a thin-crust pizza, but unfortunately the cheese kept sliding off every slice, which made it a little frustrating to eat. Some of the crust was also burnt, so I ended up eating around those parts and dipping the remaining crust into the whipped ricotta and honey, which made it much more enjoyable. Lastly, we ordered the Burrata Ravioli. This was probably my favorite entrée. The ravioli had a delicate, thin pasta that was cooked well, and the creamy cheese filling oozed out with each bite. The mushrooms served alongside it were especially flavorful and complemented the dish nicely. The total came to about $90, which felt reasonable for three people. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a cute spot for a mid-range dinner or casual date night. While the pizza was a bit disappointing, the appetizers and ravioli made up for it.

Squid Ink Spaghetti
Katie C.

An underrated brunch spot in the heart of soho! Have been here many times and each time I've been greeted with the same amazing food, service and hospitality. Came here for a brunch with a couple of my gfs and it did not disappoint. The back room has a skylight that makes the restaurant light up and feel like you're not in NY (in a good way). Steak and eggs with chimichurri and waffles with blueberry sauce were standout brunch dishes. Their pizzas and pastas are just as amazing! You can't go wrong with anything here. Will be coming here again so soon!!

We finally made it to Emporio, and overall it was a solid night out. We did not have a reservation, so they let us know upfront we had about an hour and a half to eat. That was more than enough time. We were done with about 20 minutes to spare, and honestly we could have been out even sooner. The one thing that slowed us down was waiting on the check, but even with that we had time to breathe. Staff was friendly throughout. The space is cozy, and by cozy I mean they pack a lot of tables in there. It is tight. There were some noisy kids nearby but they were happy kids, so it was okay. Happy kids are tolerable kids. Now for the food. The pizza was good, but I have to be fair to myself here. I went in expecting that deep smoky char you get from a brick oven, and Emporio is actually a Roman style wood fired pizza. Two different things. That is on me for mixing them up. Once I checked their website and saw what it actually was, I had to recalibrate. For what it is, the pizza was good. A little on the softer side, but tasty. My expectations were just pointed in the wrong direction. The real star of the night was the rigatoni pasta. Wifey's choice, and she was right. Al dente, well seasoned, and honestly it outshined everything else on the table. That one is a must order. The octopus was also excellent. It had that smoky flavor we both love and it delivered. No complaints there at all. And the ginger beer? Potent. You have been warned. If I go back, and I think I will, I am going in with the right expectations this time. Skip the assumptions, order the pasta, get the octopus, and grab a ginger beer if you are feeling brave.

Tagliatelle Alfredo
Shuba S.

Came here as I was craving pasta and we were super hungry from shopping. Cute decor and good service but food was okay. The pasta in my eggplant pasta was not at all Al dente-- I felt like giving it back. But I was already hungry. The sauce was spectacular. The Alfredo pasta was good but nothing to talk home about.

Tiramisu Espresso Martini
Lindsay L.

I forgot to take a photo of the food because I was in the moment and REALLG wanted to eat. It was so tasty. My bestie and I shared the squid ink spaghetti and branzino. Both were very good. If I had to choose one though I would choose the branzino. I'm obsessed with the green and white sauce the chefs made for it. Both dishes were very balanced with the right amount of sauce, veggies, and seafood. The tiramisu espresso martini I had was very cute. But the alcohol was strong. I wish it had more flavor vs a lot of alcohol but still appreciate everything and the presentation. It was still good. For dessert we shared we shared an orange cake with ice cream. It was wonderful. I wish I had tried more desserts but I was so full. The service was excellent. Our server was so kind and checked in with us regularly. Would totally go back

Spicy Sopressata

Happy hour is only available at the bar and ends at 6 p.m., which I didn't realize at first. The pizza from the happy hour menu was noticeably smaller than the regular menu version. I ordered the spicy soppressa on the bartender's recommendation -- it was okay. We later moved to the dining room and ordered two pastas. Both were decent, but the rigatoni was undercooked -- it was hard and chewy, which made it less enjoyable. Overall, an average experience. I will come here again.

Pizza oven
M L.

Enjoyed all the dishes including dessert but I did not get to take a photo of the panna cotta. Lovely bright spacious back room. Only issue was that we discovered not till we were back home that the waitress charged us for 2 desserts we did not order. It was busy and she was the only server and a couple of times food was mistakenly almost brought to our tables which leads me to believe she was inputting wrong in the rush. Otherwise lovely brunch and food.

Back room - beautiful light!
Dessa R.

Food was delicious, and I could devour the focaccia & ricotta all day! I loved that it was thin crust focaccia. The pappardelle bolognese was delicious as well, great flavor and portion. The Bellini's were yummy and not too sweet and most importantly didn't give me a headache. Lastly, the affogato & gelato was so good! The front of the house was cozy and warm, however the back room had an enormous and gorgeous skylight windows! Overall, the 3 star grade was mostly for the service. Although the food itself was delicious and the wait for the food was short, service was slow. It was a bit slow to be able to place our orders. Unsure if our arrival was during a shift/menu change from brunch to dinner, however we had to mostly be proactive in getting attention of staff versus staff being attentive. During most of our dining, there were no more than 2 tables occupied in the back room besides us. I'd come back however for the focaccia & ricotta and to try more dishes

beautiful ambiance!

They sat us upstairs along the balcony overlooking the main dining room, and the decor... honestly, just look at the photo because I don't even know how to describe it The space used to be a church, and it is SO cool inside. Definitely not your average pizza joint. This place is popular -- there were plenty of people eating -- but surprisingly, our wait wasn't long at all. And even with all the bodies in there, it never felt crammed or uncomfortable. We ordered a small pizza and did half Shrimp Fra Diavolo and half Margherita. The Fra Diavolo had a little kick, but nothing crazy -- and this is coming from someone who cannot handle big spice The Margherita had just the right amount of basil and mozzarella, and that crispy crust was exactly what I wanted. Although there was no major cheese pull, it was still perfect. The small was plenty for the two of us and honestly just perfect. We also had a couple cocktails, which were delicious too. I always say NYC food pricing is kind of deceiving. You look at the price and go, "Ummm..." but then the food comes out and you realize they give you A LOT. Definitely felt like we got our money's worth here. Great pizza, really cool atmosphere, and a fun first NYC pizza experience for the husband. Happy Eating, Chass

The wait was worth it though because they know how to do pizza. The crust just crisp enough, the sauce flavorful, and the toppings plentiful. The service was friendly and quick given the number of people there. For my first trip to NYC, I'd make this a traditional stop for future visits.

I can't stop thinking about their pizza…read more.. Yesterday was my first time dining at See No Evil Pizza, but I'd tried it before. Last year, I was at Nothing Really Matters, the bar next door, with a group of friends. Someone ordered pizza, and I had no idea where it came from. I just remember thinking, "Wow, this pizza is really good." That memory stuck with me, so when a friend and I decided to stop by See No Evil Pizza yesterday, I was excited to finally visit. I didn't realize reservations were recommended, but thankfully Ariel, the host, was able to fit us in. Ariel was fantastic - he was friendly, welcoming, and so accommodating despite us showing up without a reservation. Ariel provided excellent service from the moment we walked in until we left. I didn't take any photos, which I now regret, because their pepperoni pizza was salty, addictive, and just really, really good. The pepperoni was crisp, the crust had that perfect char and crunch, and I couldn't stop reaching for another slice. The restaurant is small, cozy, and inviting. If you've been thinking about checking this place out, go for it. You won't regret it.

The white wine sangria was tasty, but I regret to say my partner nor I totally loved the pizza - it was quite greasy, which made it very wet and heavy to eat. Aside from that, though, I thought the flavors were great - the sogginess just distracted from it. Overall such a fun place to go!

It is such a cute place that deeply honors its heritage and ancestry, and their understanding of celiac disease immediately put us at ease. They explicitly let us know they use a dedicated oven and explained what pizzas can be made gluten free. They also have a dedicated fryer for all their gluten-free items, which is a massive relief for anyone with strict dietary needs. To drink, I ordered an Aperol Spritz, though you will want to double-check with the staff since a few of their other cocktails are not gluten-free. We kicked off our meal with the gluten-free arancini and a gluten-free Margherita pizza, and the pizza was genuinely delicious. They even offer gluten-free desserts, so we naturally went all-in on the fried dough with Nutella to finish things off. Aside from the incredible food safety and quality, the service and staff were fantastic. They were constantly attentive, clearing empty plates and bringing new ones throughout the meal.

We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous. The bits of bacon, combined with the spiciness of the pepper spices, made this a perfect starter. The entree was also shared and it was the Spicoli 2.0 Pizza. I cannot recommend this pie, enough. You will taste flavors that you've probably never experienced before with a pizza. Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
