    Arancini
    Lauren B.

    Parla is one of the few restaurants in NYC I think of that nails the experience in every way - the food/drinks are inventive and excellent, the service is always amazing, and the space itself is gorgeous, sunny, and so chic. I have been here twice and adored it both times. They have the best drink menu with both NA and alcoholic options. I love their marinated olives, arancini, and parmesan (with honey and black pepper!). My favorite pizza is the burriza, which has burrata/pesto/tomatoes/balsamic and is SO GOOD! I highly recommend getting the calabrian chili honey as well to dip the pizza in. I think their pasta portions are on the smaller side, so I would stick with pizza! They have a huge variety (both round and square), so everyone will find one that they love. Zach (the manager) is so lovely as well, you can tell there is so much heart put into Parla. I will certainly be back!

    I stopped by Parla for pizza and honestly--what an experience. From the moment I walked in, the service stood out. While I was waiting for a table, multiple staff members checked in on me and even offered a drink, which made me feel genuinely taken care of before I even sat down. Once seated, that level of attentiveness didn't miss a beat. The team was warm, welcoming, and consistently made sure everything was just right without being overbearing. We ordered the Hot Hunny pizza and the Burrizza--both completely different but equally incredible. The flavors were unique, well-balanced, and honestly just exquisite. The ambiance tied everything together perfectly--super cozy, inviting, and with a cute, stylish vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Safe to say, I've found a new go-to spot in the city. Next time though, I'm definitely making a reservation!

    Chocolate sherry gelato
    Anne F.

    My husband and I came here early in the evening. I'm embarrassed to say, I didn't expect much from this restaurant, but I was happy to be proven wrong. We began our dinner with a plate of Caesar salad. It was wonderfully fresh, the lettuce crisp, the dressing light, with a slight nuttiness from the toasted sesame seeds and a salty funk from the anchovies. For our main course, we ordered the hot honey pizza, which we both loved. Greasy as pizza should be, the focaccia bread thick, crisp, and airy, sweet from the drizzle yet savory from the pepperoni, each bite was a mouthwatering delight. To end our time here, we ordered the chocolate sherry gelato, which was the best gelato I had ever tasted I enjoyed the lightness of the chocolate - it wasn't too dark or too rich. The gelato itself was so creamy, every scoop was heaven. I came here with low expectations and left fully satisfied. I would dine here again.

    Celeste W.

    really cute italian restaurant in the UWS, wait was not too long for dinner, around 20 minutes. broccolini - very standard and good! nothing super unique, but well done Baby Zucca - didn't really feel like a pizza, more like a flatbread. really interesenting, a bit too sour for my taste, but the fried zucchini on top was delicious. Spaghetti Midnight Style - really normal, nothing too different, but really well done.

    So glad my friend and i decided to try this place. It was packed, but only took 15 mins to get seated. We had a drink at the bar while we waited. Both drinks were delish, but the lemonade boozy drink was so refreshing. We ordered the eggplant ricotta and the waiter suggested we get the sesame flatbread. IT WAS SO GOOD WE ORDERED A SECOND. We also tried the vodka dipping sauce and OH MY GOD..just at delish! Highly recommend this place.

    The burrata pizza

    GREAT service! GREAT pizza and really good beer! I'll recommend this place with complete confidence.

    Pepe Bianco
    Robert N.

    On entering, the mood was lively and welcoming. Started by sharing a Parla Chopped (Tuscan kale, red onion, celery, cucumbers, olives, chickpeas and delicious calamari with a tasty Italian ranch dressing). We followed it with a basic Pepe Bianco. The crust was outstanding and the mozzarella, Parmesan and black pepper added the perfect flavors. We were unable to finish the pie and the leftovers made for a very special breakfast!. Need to return to try other appetizers and their pastas

    Lumache Pomodoro
    Sophie T.

    5/5 stars. SO good. All the flavors, the ambiance, the friendly service. Everything was amazing. We got the ricotta starter. Delicious. It's ricotta with fried rosemary and aged balsamic. Truly the perfect bite. Tip: be sure to ask for bread because otherwise it will literally just come as the serving of ricotta. I got the Lumache Pomodoro which is tomato, melted garlic, stracciatella, and basil pesto. I ordered as is, minus the pesto. This pasta dish was SO good. Everything tasted so fresh and the sauce was divine. I'm sure it would've been amazing with the pesto but I personally don't love pesto so I did without. My friend got the Hot Hunny pizza - which is clearly the hot item here - and she absolutely loved it. We were headed to a show so we didn't box it up for takeout. Beware it's huge! You could easily split it. Not pictured: the chocolate x pistachio gelato. The perfect dessert to top it all off. The perfect portion size for the two of us to share...even after being so full from the amazing dinner! I could not recommend this place more.

    Pie Dye, Hot Hunny
    Deepika K.

    Visited here for lunch with some friends on a Sunday afternoon - we had a 2:30 reservation but weren't seated til 3 pm - the restaurant is tiny but the staff is so kind, they were extremely apologetic about the wait time but didn't want to rush the other party out as they also had young children (so did we). We ordered an app - chicken Milanese salad, and went straight for the pizzas. We got hot honey, pie dye, the NY classic, and angry roni, SO SO good!!! We thought the 3 pies would have been too much, but we actually ended up having leftovers! The food was absolutely fantastic - I was a huge fan of the deep dish style pizza, so buttery, crispy, and soft all at the same time! Huge bonus points for 2 massive and clean bathrooms with a very chic baby changing table! Will def be back!

    Espresso Martini with outside seating view
    Carmen G.

    Cocktails/ Food ordered: -Espresso Martini -Mafaldine Alla Vodka -"Hot Hunny" Square pizza Parla is always buzzing, constantly packed whenever I visit. It took 3 New York visits to finally have the opportunity to dine here.But even with how busy it was, the service was on point. Our server was super attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. We managed to snag a table outside, which was perfect because the weather was just gorgeous. It was so nice to sit out there, soaking up the sun and enjoying the vibe of everything going on around us. It really added to the whole experience. Honestly, if you're looking for a spot with a lively atmosphere, great service, and the chance to enjoy a meal outdoors, you really can't go wrong. Espresso Martini: You get that classic rich, bold espresso flavor right away, perfectly balanced by the vodka. But what really sets it apart is the cacao, which adds this lovely, deep chocolate note, and then, boom, a bright, zesty hint of lemon at the end. It's such a refreshing and sophisticated twist on a classic! Mafaldine Alla Vodka: The pasta itself had this amazing, almost wavy shape that really held onto that creamy vodka sauce. Every bite gave you a great chew. The sauce was super creamy with that perfect little kick from the chili flakes. But the real game-changer? Those toasted sesame seeds! They added such an unexpected, delightful crunch and nutty flavor that just worked so well with the fresh basil and savory parmesan. Seriously, it's a must-try. "Hot Hunny" Square pizza: The crust was seriously perfect , you get this amazing fluffiness that just melts in your mouth, but then it transitions into this super satisfying, crispy bottom. That combo with the tangy classic tomato sauce and pepperoni. Then you get that creamy, fresh stracciatella cheese melting over everything, which is just amazing..... And the Calabrian chili honey? That's the star! It gives this perfect sweet and spicy drizzle that brings all the flavors together and makes each bite exciting.

    Hot Hunny

    Staff made sure to flag out food (quite literally with a flag) that my friend had food restrictions. My favorite was the Hot Hunny. The dough was chewy and the combination of savory, salty and sweet was great. Looking to come back and try some of their white sauce pies!

    Really wanted to love Parla as it seems like reservations here are hard to secure and it's the newest Italian spot in the city however the experience and food fell pretty flat. We've attempted a walk in on the most popular days and times aka dinner time, yet have always come to a "It'll be a 40-60 min wait" which is crazy given that there's a chance the long wait will not lead to a positive outcome. We eventually had reservations and it's safe to say that Parla is good for what it is if you're in the UWS and craving a pasta pizza combo and are either riding solo or stumble upon an off time to dine. We ordered- Lumache Pomodoro NY Classic The setting is very intimate and can get quite loud however it truly felt like we were at the hottest spot in the neighborhood, so no surprise there. The pizza was quite dry and we essentially had to dip each of our slices in the pasta just so it could taste a bit less...dry. I thought you'd get more bang out of your buck by ordering a round pizza, however maybe flavor wise the square pizzas could be better. Maybe would stop by again for pasta, but begrudgingly.

    Burrizza
    Azam K.

    A phenomenal experience! Service was great from start to finish. Shoutout to the manager at the front. We had a short a wait even though we had a reservation, but they brought us water and quickly took us to our seats once a table opened up. Waiter was awesome, telling us all his favorites which led to us buying the barriza. The pizza was super crispy, flavorful and I'll be back for another. Ambiance is nice inside. It can get packed, but enjoyed the lighting and decor. Highly recommend this place to anyone near.

Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions.

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables.
