    Outside
    Hank C.

    Spot for a holiday party, pizza, salad and appetizers and they kept the drinks coming quickly, which was nice. A little tight and low ceiling being in the lower area of the building (so watch the steps down). Service was friendly and they had a number of staffers assisting with taking orders. Pizza was ok; thin crust, hand-made for the wood fired oven meant some slices were a little burnt, others were very good. Pesto pizza was good; honey pie lacked enough spice. Not too far away from Union Square so easy to hop by.

    Bolognese
    Matt H.

    It was good, but nothing to write home about. Overall, we enjoyed our meal I had the bolognese and it was good but nothing amazing. I don't have any complaints, but it definitely could've used a little bit more flavor; others in our party got other pasta dishes, as well as the burger and everyone was satisfied, but no one was wowed. Service was good with absolutely zero complaints and the ambience is nice and casual for a very chill dinner. Overall, I would definitely come back to Follia, I just wouldn't run back if I was craving amazing Italian.

    Solid spot on the east side. I didn't think it was all that special but it was still a good meal with good service. I got the agnolotti which was good. The ambiance is charming.

    Eggplant parm

    Once again, a fantastic meal. Great for freezing temperatures! Love the specials: brown butter sage mushroom parpadelle- yum!

    Staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Very accommodating as well. The restaurant itself is cute, there's indoor and outdoor seating which is nice in the warmer weather. Fries and eggplant caponata were good. Eggplant was REALLY REALLY good. I'm not sure why it wasn't served with bread or anything, outside of the complimentary bread they give you. So ask for more! The pizza looks great but it was painfully underwhelming. Not much flavor. A let down. Overall it was alright. I didn't find the menu to be too exciting and unfortunately had mixed feelings about the food.

    @follianyc is a classic italian restaurant located in east village. They also have a bottomless brunch deal that includes 1 entrée and unlimited brunch cocktails for 90 minutes ($32). Aside from bottomless brunch, we noticed that the prices of each of the food items were cheaper compared to many places in the city! ft: -brioche french toast: this was our favorite! it had the best fluffy texture, and the bananas on top were a great match. delicious. -eggs benedict: eggs were runny and the english muffin was toasted correctly. i loved it! -cobb salad: the first thing i noticed is that the dressing added the perfect amount of extra flavor and didn't go overboard. i loved the combination of ingredients in the salad. -crostini: came with 3: 1) burrata, olive oil and salt 2) whipped ricotta pesto 3)mascarpone and clover honey. each were slightly different from each other, and all tasted amazingly. i definitely liked the mascarpone and clover honey. it's such a simply dish yet so delicious.

    Hot Honey Pie Pizza
    Ellen C.

    Follia is an intimate spot in Gramercy. I came by with a party of 6. We started off with drinks and apps - truffle polenta and crostini. Then we ordered the shaved Brussels salad, truffle fries, two pizzas - the pesto and hot honey - as well as the eggplant parm and cacio e Pepe. My favorite was the eggplant part and truffle polenta. Overall the food wasn't bad but have also had better.

    New York Style Pizza
    Morgan M.

    Maybe it was because we went during sunset with the limited menu, but I was not a huge fan. I tried the New York Style pizza which tasted fine but I've had better at local pizza spots.

    Oysters
    Rachel C.

    This is a really solid local neighborhood spot with a great happy hour! Their oysters were delicious, meatballs are great, and I absolutely love their Margherita pizza--which is really thin crust/light with great quality ingredients. The peach bread pudding is also delicious and not too sweet. Their service is always great too; nice staff and quick/efficient.

    Spaghetti Pomodoro
    Cyrus A.

    If I were rating on food alone, I'd probably go with three stars - it's fine, nothing especially noteworthy in either direction. The burrata crostini was okay, but honestly tasted like something I could easily make at home. My spaghetti dish was nice, with al dente spaghetti and a pretty good sauce. But Follia gets an extra star because the prices are pretty darn competitive, the service was great, and the space is really nice. The menu is a good $5-10 less per entree than what I've seen at similar restaurants. Come for the nice ambiance and some people watching along 3rd Ave. Just don't expect the best meal of your life.

    Hidden gem alert! If you're looking for the perfect brunch to unwind with friends, Follia in Gramercy Park is a must-visit. Just a few blocks from Union Square, this easygoing neighborhood Italian restaurant has it all--cozy indoor and outdoor seating, amazing service, and the perfect vibes for a casual hangout or group gathering. Their wood-fired pizzas are a must try, especially the Buon Giorno pizza! They had the unlimited brunch you can perfectly pair with mimosa , Bellini or Bloody Mary. And don't miss out on the bread pudding--it's so delicious! With their specialty pasta , delicious desserts and great wine or cocktail selections, we will definitely coming back again and again. We ordered : Baked Truffle eggs Buon Giorno Pizza Lemon Ricotta Pancakes Orecchiette Spaghetti Poomodoro Raspberry and peach bread pudding Mimosa Bellini Bloody Mary Follow @spinx17 for more NYC food recs!

    cheese Plate

    we had a reservation for a sunday early evening and we were sat immediately inside. there's also plenty of outdoor seating but it was too warm that day to sit outside. we ordered cocktails, my favorite was the create your own. we ordered meatballs, the cheese board, marinated olives, margherita pizza, orecchiette with pesto & broc rabe without sausage, and spaghetti pomodoro. the food & drinks were delicious, however, the lower rating was due to the service. our waitress was handling almost all the inside tables & outdoor. she barely came to check on us & we had to find her down to order dessert & the check. unfortunately we had to have the hostess help us when our waitress couldn't. it wasn't exceptionally busy so maybe they just didn't have enough staff in that day. we're usually understanding people but we wasted a lot of time waiting for service.

    The food was very mid. The pizza needed more flavor and salt. The service was good though and the atmosphere was cozy.

    Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

    My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

    Played the Opentable notification game and got a Friday night counter spot. My boyfriend and I…read moreshared: + Banchan of the day + added gochujang candied squid + Sunn's salad with chicories, sweet potato, sesame jang + Spicy tomato Tteokbokki + Ssam (beef brisket) + Sesame Crusted Mochi Cake Ssam was my favorite dish. Also loved the kimchi, cucumbers and potato salad from the banchan. Tteokbokki was a standout as well. It was more than enough food, and we even took home leftovers. Service was very friendly, and coat check was a nice touch!

    I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.
