The L. I. S. A. Project NYC…read more I'm not sure about the politics of what's behind this organization. There appears to be some controversy in the Yelp Reviews. I'm just a huge fan of graffiti. I love the color it adds to the city. I love the smile it puts on my face. I like the happy feeling I get inside when I see it. I also like the legal authorization of the activity. For many years it was an offense to express yourself and your artistic talent in this manner. I'm glad Little Italy has embraced this organization and the art they promote. Please Visit Little Italy and keep your eyes open for the murals. They are here, there, and everywhere! I'm posting photos I've taken in the past couple years. I hope you enjoy. I can't wait to return!

Before today, my review would've likely been glowing. The artwork in that's been associated with…read morethem in NYC is almost always spectacular and a welcome addition to the city-scape. Unfortunately I found out recently that they're actually quite shady and manipulative. They don't actually create or curate the art in Little Italy - they pretend to support it, plaster it on their social media, and try to profit from it. At the expense of the actual artists that create the art they're showcasing. They've gotten into legal action with artists over marketing rights for the art that they claim to "support", but essentially want to mooch off of and shake down for $$$. A lot of the gorgeous art, such as the Audrey Hepburn picture on Mulberry St, are examples that they claim to be big endorsers of - but have actually fought the artists over, to win sole rights to commercializing posters etc. They've tried to destroy murals & privately commissioned public art without consent or notification to the artists themselves. Again, mostly for the chance to bring in new art and profit from online sales of merchandise / picture rights. And they're more than happy to block/ban/remove you from any of their social media if you even think of leaving a vaguely negative comment (even a politely-worded one). A word to the wise: good, wholesome, community-minded organizations NEVER block or throttle people into silence because they might disagree with them. And they NEVER treat artists like they're disposable sources of income. This organization does not represent Little Italy in the slightest. Be very, very careful if you're ever asked to work with them. Better yet, stay clear of them altogether.

Everything else hits the spot. So I ordered the burger.. it was completely delicious! Great flavor, prepared as requested.. A good size too.. I was actually surprised! I'd definitely get it again no question. Service was great as usual. I was there for lunch so it wasn't too crowded.. Nice, cool and calm. No blaring music in your ears. Great time and meal. I'll be back as usual.. So if you're in the Morris Park of the Bronx and are looking for a really good burger, I definitely suggest that you hit up The Pine! You can thank me later! Ok, have a good one yall! -Ray

I've been coming to Pine regularly, and it's become one of my favorite spots. The food is…read moreconsistently good, the atmosphere is always welcoming, and it's the kind of place that's easy to come back to again and again. The biggest reason I keep returning, though, is JAVI WEST behind the bar. He's friendly, attentive, and genuinely knows how to make guests feel welcome. Whether it's recommending a drink, remembering returning customers, or just keeping the energy upbeat, he always delivers excellent service. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it really adds to the overall experience. Great food, great vibe, and exceptional bartending from Javi. If you're stopping by Pine, definitely grab a seat at the bar. You won't be disappointed.

Hubby and I have been here before for other functions so it was a pleasure to visit again, for my…read moregirlfriend's mom's birthday party. The staff was very attentive to all the guests and helped to maintain the secret until the perfect moment when we all yelled, "Surprise!", to the lady of the hour. They offer valet which was helpful, especially since it had been raining that day and we had the little one in attendance. They have a coat check and a bathroom attendent who was a little odd but the bathroom remained clean during the entire event. The food was VERY good. They had a cocktail hour which we unfortunately missed, but their buffet was on point and there was so much food left over that guests were provided with containers to take home food. My favourite would have to be their oxtails. They were fall-off-the-bone good and saucy. The one thing that irked me was that the staff was serving themselves from the buffet, which I've never seen at a function; not saying they can't eat since they're working but I've never seen employees making plates from which the same buffet the guests and hosts are served, making take home containers as well. I probably only saw it because we were seated right next to the food (because my friend knows I love to eat). In the end, everyone had a great time dancing, drinking, eating ans celebrating a wonderful woman who enjoyed a spectacular day, and full of joy and happiness.

The restrooms are immaculate. Which I greatly appreciate. The staff is helpful and friendly. The food is great, I've been here at least a dozen times in 2025 and I'm never disappointed. I've had different kinds of food here but the oxtail and Mac and cheese are my favorites. The oxtail is delicious. It's prepared Jamaican style and is tender and flavorful. The Mac and cheese is perfect. In all honesty all the food is pretty good. I don't work for this venue, it just happened that I had a few clients that booked this place and was invited to a few events here as well.

Staff: Im usually in the " children's' room" upstairs on the second floor. Staff is absolutely MEAN to the children. The kids are hesitant to approach them about anything from borrowing a laptop to questions about their library card. Sad that this environment is so scary and uninviting for these kids. There are a few nice staff members but there is a horrible lady that sits at the desk to relieve a co worker for lunch ( mid 50s, heavy set, loud, often heard even being rude to staff) Im scared of her!
