Marcello took great card of us. Eric behind the bar made some truly extraordinary drinks. Although the pizza was superb, super light and just right, the pastas were excellent. Loved the grilled calamari with fennel and arugula. Place is so welcoming and charming. read more

Make sure to bring cash or pay by Amex. Stopped in for a drink before the dinner rush. Really cute and cozy, exposed brick and pipes. We had the place all to ourselves for that drink and sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and when we ordered our drink, I loved that he asked, 'are you having a double'? What a fantastic attitude lol and of course we said yes! He was kind to comp one of the doubles. Enjoyed our visit! read more

Stopped into piacere for a late dinner after I couldn't settle on anything. Definitely a solid spot. It appears to be an interesting balance of locals and tourists. So, I have a difficult time evaluating this place. A pretty generic interior but they do have awnings so they can let the air in. My server was awesome(i forget his name), but he got me all taken care and went above and beyond. I got the carbonara pizza. My 2 favorite things: carbonara and pizza; a match made in heaven. This pizza was super rich, salty, and well executed. The guancile with the broken egg yolk paired with the crust was wonderful. A bit of pepper to balance everything out. Yes, he convinced me to get cheesecake. It was great. The fruit compote added much needed fruitiness and lightened it up. A super solid slice of cheesecake! read more

This spot has personality, as does its staff! We stayed up the street for our visit and we couldn't stop coming here! While the food is fantastic, we found ourselves returning to chat with Marcelo (I hope I'm spelling it correctly!). He served us each time we came in and was charming beyond belief, and made us feel like family. The food is most definitely made from scratch and with love. Each table also gets fresh rosemary focaccia that is to die for. YAYs- Gnocchi : all are DELISH! Yay! Steamed spinach: simple and fresh! Pizza dough was fresh and delish TIRAMISU: THIS is A MUST! Probably the best I've ever had. I will return for this! Can't wait to return! read more

We used a pulsd voucher to come here for dinner and it was a decent find. For $49, we got an appetizer, two entrees, two glasses of wine, and tiramisu. The only thing is that tax and tip were not included in the price. This place insisted on us getting cash when we came in. So my SO when to a vending machine. All in all, we spent ~$100 on dinner here with the Pulsd voucher. The Crostini lacked seasoning and salt. However, with their house made chili oil, it was just perfect! The stuffed pizza was a unique spin on a classic. The crust was simply divine. The four cheese truffle gnocchi was simply divine. This was perhaps the best gnocchi I have had in years. It just melted in your mouth! The perfect end to the meal was tiramisu with shots of limoncello. Just the perfect pick me up to an otherwise perfect day. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

Cute little Italian restaurant with limited indoor and outdoor seating. The food is good though so I recommend giving it a try! The gnocchi was so soft and their pesto is amazing. The owner is super nice and funny. He offered us free bread and a little dessert, not sure what it's called. They only accept cash and AMEX, but they do have an ATM. They definitely should warn you before you order and eat though, we got lucky and had cash on us. read more

A wonderful restaurant with lots of charm and a friendly staff. A really nice wooden burning pizza oven. A good variety of Italian dishes. We enjoyed the calamari with greens and fennel. The mushrooms on toast was surprisingly good. Nicely sauteed broccoli rabe. All the pasta seemed very fresh with just enough sauce to make it perfect. Plenty of seating inside and out to make it perfect for groups of friends to talk and catch up on each others lives. One of the most unique things about Piacere is the bathroom. Have no fear you are not hallucinating. Bring cash unless you are willing to pay the POS charge :(. We had a fairly large party so tip was included in the bill. All in all I think you will enjoy dining here, it has a very relaxing atmosphere and quality food. read more

amazing food. best tiramisu ive ever had in my life. and im not a dessert person but this was amazing.

My partner and I had a great evening at here. We walked in without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy, authentic Italian feel. It really is a perfect date spot. We started with the Mozzarella e Prosciutto and Pomodoro Bruschetta, both of which paired beautifully the glasses of red wine we ordered. The Mozzarella e Prosciutto was simply delicious--soft, fresh mozzarella served with thinly sliced prosciutto and a bed of peppery arugula. The combination of flavors was light yet satisfying, a great balance of creamy, salty, and slightly spicy from the greens. The Pomodoro Bruschetta was equally delightful. The toasted bread was topped with a generous portion of fresh, juicy tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and just the right amount of garlic and basil. Each bite was full of classic Italian flavor, and the crispness of the bread was perfect. The highlight was definitely the Quattro Formaggi pizza we ordered. We could NOT even finish this as the cheese were so flavorful and dense that on top of the mozzarella we had earlier, this had to be boxed up (but reheated well). Overall, we loved our experience at Piacere. The food, wine, and cozy ambiance = an ideal, laid-back night. Gem of a spot. read more

Outstanding find. We lived in Italy for four years and are routinely underwhelmed by Italian restaurants. Piacere is a great exception. Truly excellent food from salads to pizza and paste to mains. And reasonable prices. Very cozy brick wall atmosphere. Great staff. Marcello made us all feel like we were life long regulars and friends. We will make it a regular event. read more

Amazing atmosphere, food, cocktails and people! Go here, you will not regret it. Gluten-free options for pizza and pasta. The drinks were carefully crafted and delicious. Had 2 pizzas, carpaccio and pasta dish. Will definitely go back when back in town! read more

A great real Italian restaurant. Food is amazing (spaghetti with clams spectacular, pizza amazing, tiramisu excellent and also the tagliata very good). The place has a great vibe, the service is very attentive, genuinely caring of all the guests and well prepared. Highly recommended PS: also the prices are very competitive for the amazing quality of the food. read more

Very rustic and quaint Italian restaurant. They only take cash or Amex (I wasn't aware until I sat down and was placing my order). The staff here is friendly and on a Friday night it was not busy at all. The homemade marinara basil gnocchi was good, but the truffle mushroom pasta was a bit too oily for my liking. The burrata was fresh and delicious. I didn't see wine by the glasses on the menu, they only had bottle options. read more

Happened on this spot by accident and couldn't be happier that we did! The best, thinnest, most fresh gluten free pizza I have ever had. Clearly dough that's made from scratch. The carbonara pizza was INCREDIBLE... I wish I could give this pizza 6 stars! The San Daniele was also very, very good. And we modified the sausage and mushroom pizza to have sweet sausage instead of spicy and it was delicious. Paired with the recommended Primitivo wine, which perfectly complemented the meal! Also, our group was able to be sat immediately on a Friday night without a reservation! Cute spot. Great food. My new fav gf pizza in the city hands down. Will be back!! read more

best pizza and service ever! the seating and overall place was beautiful and spacious too

Look the food is wonderful. The service is very nice. But the service is frankly way too fast. I frankly want to spend an hour and a half at dinner. You order and 5 minutes later the food is delivered, it's almost fast casual but sit down prices. Also the portions are a little small. I must emphasize again the food is actually wonderful, just slow it down guys and make me feel like I'm having an experience. I can't decide whether or not I will be coming back because of the experience here - great ambiance, small portions, wonderful food, seriously McDonald's level speed of service- when i go out to eat I want to sit down, enjoy myself, and have an experience, not be rushed out as soon as I came in. read more

Came on a Saturday night without reservations - got seated right away. Staff is friendly but service is a little slow. Food is good but expensive. Portions are also small. Ambience of the spot is dark - could be romantic, could be casual. 3.5 stars if I could! read more

Piacere is a cute little Italian restaurant by Little Italy, and I stumbled upon it by chance when many of the restaurants in the area closed early. We called ahead and they said they would take us which is nice since we ended up being the only ones. We got the margarita pizza to split which came out in minutes and was thin, crispy, and a perfect pizza. I got the carbonara which was really good and not too salty, although I wish the bacon was a little more crispy. We finished with the tiramisu which was good but nothing extraordinary. Overall, I had a good experience here and some solid food, and I appreciate the workers for staying open for us! read more

Delicious thin crust, fresh ingredients, authentic Italian. Good service. And they graciously accommodated our music request.

Had an amazing experience here!!! The food is classic Italian and off the charts. Everything was fresh and delicious even the gluten free pizza! The staff was hospitable and attentive. It's a small space but they were able to seat a large party last minute which was great. Will definitely be back!!! read more

Excellent food! Tiramisu was awesome. Had pizza (great) and a few pasta dishes. We were happy with everything we had! Drinks were tasty

The ambiance was amazing, the servers were attentive and sweet, and most importantly the food was amazing! We ordered their pizza and some of their appetizers and their bread did NOT disappoint. It was warm, soft and chewy. They seasoned it perfectly and it was made with love. Later, our server told us their tiramisu was the world's best, and they were right. It really was delicious. The staff were kind and they were always right around the corner when we needed assistance. Definitely stop by here, it was amazing and we will come back for sure. read more

Piacere is a diamond in the rough and will be a stop on every New York trip I take from now on. Located near Little Italy but not on Mulberry, I can see how it could be overlooked. Do not sleep on this place. Their freshly made pasta is what drew me in but the flavors layered upon flavors has me hooked. They know what they're doing. I highly recommend the mushroom and truffle dish. Their white wine selection is great and the playlist of the best of the best in softly playing classic rock makes for the perfect night. read more

*I gave this restaurant all 5 stars, but that was before I got the check. Deleted my original review so here is the updated one: Food was very good, and my initial waiter was very kind as I was there alone (mind you in a new city by myself). Owner took over for him after I had finished. My bill came, and he would not take my card. On the bottom of their menu, it says "American Express or cash". I didn't use this menu, because the waiter told me there was a QR code with photos. I used that one. At this point I was humiliated and crying and he ended up accepting my card because I had no other option. A huge fee was tacked on as a result. Waiters here need to tell guests their payment policy. It is inexcusable for an NYC restaurant and I left very upset and humiliated as a result of their miscommunication. There are several other reviews on here with the same experience. read more

Just finished eating atera and had to fulfill my neopolitan pie craving. We find this place about 7 mins away from the restaurant and place the order. They only make it if you are nearby since the pies are made quickly ~5mins. So I ordered the ROBIOLA PIACERE and wahh. I thought I ordered pizza but I received an Italian quesadilla. The flavor was great and all but this isn't what I wanted. This isn't what I was crashing for. This was quite disappointing. Surely if this was good their pies would be too but I clearly don't know how to order a pie. read more

I walk by here a lot. So finally gave it a try. The pizza is okay. The appetizer was a little disappointing. The pasta I know has bacon in it but I've never had one as salty as this. Use a different bacon. Don't say it's salty because of the bacon. Spaghetti and meatball plain. Never coming back. read more

What a great find. It was in the neighborhood by the Moxy lower east side so I stopped in first for some apps and wine. I got the burrata and a glass of red wine. Both were excellent. My colleague arrived from Italy and I decided to bring him back to check out the rest of the menu. He also thought it was excellent. We got several appetizers including there great thin crust pizza. I got a bolognese for my main and it was fantastic. Would def go back. read more

The best pizza in town. Beautiful little gem on Broom St.. Excellent service with a very friendly staff. Andres the pizza maker, Eddie our server, and Marcello made our night.
