We were in town for a work thing for the hubs and took the Sky Tram to Roosevelt Island. It was time for food while we were there, so we decided to stop in here. It's easy to get to after you get off the tram - basically straight south from the tram exit (no need to go east or west towards the water). They offer pizza by the slice, which is great because we didn't want to take any back to the room. I had the Buffalo Chicken and he had one of the same and a pepperoni. The Buffalo Chicken slice was SOOOO good. I could have gone back the next day for another slice! The hubs enjoyed his pepperoni slice, too. OH, and we ordered the garlic knots. Also quite tasty! There is seating indoors. LOADS of beverage options, including the adult beverage kind and some fun stuff that you don't see very often. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's clean and casual, decent music. Ingredients are fresh. Would I go again? Absolutely! Thank you for reading my review! read more

This pizza place is conveniently near the subway station on Roosevelt Island. My friend and I went for lunch. A glass of red wine and a sangria, both very good, started the meal. We decided to share the Chicken Parmegian meal. The dish was not a large portion, but it was adequate for a lunch. It had good taste and presentation. Then we shared a canoli for dessert. Service was prompt and friendly. Later in the day, I returned for a frozen lemonade and Lemon Italian Ice on a very hot day. The place has constant in/ out customers. read more

The pizza wasn't a standard New York flop. It was quite crispy. But we were still pleased with the finished product. The margarita pizza was the star here, with robust tomato sauce to compliment the flavor. The pepperoni pizza seemed liked they skimped a little on the toppings. While it wasn't my favorite pepperoni, the overall experience was a good one. Definitely a decent option on Roosevelt island, if you want a bite between bridge tram rides. read more

The pizza is okay but the grumpy old man at the front is the worstttt. He acts bothered that you want to eat there, he's so rude! Go across the bridge and save yourself the trouble. read more

Their Sicilian pie is terrible and you just settle for their pizza because there's really nothing else on the island.

Pizza is mid and customer service is TERRIBLE. Please save yourself the time and energy because it's NOT worth the trip there. Watch out for the grouchy looking old man there, he will bite your head off if you take even a second to sit down before ordering. Overall customer service ruined this place and it's sad that people still support businesses that don't have the decency to just be a bit respectful to the people PAYING for their bills. Save your time and go to the other restaurants nearby. read more

Nice area to have some comfort food. Auntie lives near by so went here for a late dinner back in March. I didn't order, but I think we got the Margheritta with Extra Cheese. Nothing special on the taste, a solid 3, but my kid loves this place (his 2nd time, lol). It was a clean simple pizza and the extra cheese did give it an extra "+" to make it a more enjoyable pizza, so recommend the extra cheese if getting a whole pie. Pizza by the slice available, so would be a good place to grab a bite walking past this beautiful area. read more

Slices were small and saggy. Ordered 1 pepperoni and a plain slice- the pepperoni slice had literally 4 pieces of pepperoni on it ( might as well been a plain slice lol). Place has went downhill tremendously, it was 100x better when it was Nonno's back in the day under a different management. read more

Come here for a quick cheap pizza lunch. Stay for the views. Not too many joints to dine at on Roosevelt Island, but this one ain't too bad if you're craving some pizza or Italian eats. Good lunch special of two slices and a soda for $6.95. Filled me up after running a few loops of the island. Grab a table outside to dine with some nice city skyline views. Some seating inside and it's clean. Close to subway and tramway. read more

Simple Italian food if you are looking for some carbs to hold you over! Food: I ordered the chicken parm! You get to choose the type of pasta you want and I went with penne! The taste was fine. It's very simple and more like boxed pasta. The sauce was very tomato-y. I wouldn't come back here again for the food! Ambience/ service: causal spot! You order at the counter and then need to go back and pick up the order. They have outdoor seating, which is really nice! It feels like you are sitting in a European city! Price: very cheap for pasta, chicken and bread! Each dish is less than $15 and filling read more

Great friendly service with classic pizza shop menu options. I tried their fried calamari which was pretty good and I requested it with spicy marinara which added a great kick to it. The location of this spot couldn't be more convenient if you're visiting Roosevelt Island right by the train station and tram station and by Riverwalk Commons. There are casual seating options inside and outside and sitting outside will give you a nice view of the bridge and Riverwalk Commons. read more

It's good. Above average, but not out of this world. Portions are generous. I'd say their desserts are by far the star of the show here. If you're looking for authentic, home made italian food, just go in to the city. If you're looking for something quick, this will work. The cannoli are delightful, the cheesecake is delectable, and the bananas foster cake it out of this world. I enjoyed the experience over all. Staff is kind. Neat location. read more

My 200th review for Yelp!!! Yahoo!!! Now give me a job . In all seriousness, I wish my 200th was for a better establishment. I rarely come to Roosevelt Island and when I do, the restaurant choices are quite slim. They should definitely look to open other places on this island. Sorry to digress. We stopped in here earlier as we had to attend an event nearby at Cornell Tech. I got the honey chicken hero sandwich which was actually decent. There could have been more chicken but I liked it. They didn't skimp on the lettuce and tomato and it had a hint of honey mustard. My wife got the avocado salad with $2 extra for chicken. It was just alright in her eyes. She said the chicken was a tad dry. All in all, decent place for what else is out there in this neighborhood. The staffs are very nice and bathroom is clean. read more

I visited Roosevelt Island for the first time and stopped by for a late lunch. We sat in the patio that had a great view of the island. The service was prompt and quick. We ordered the chicken ranch pizza and vodka sauce pasta. The pizza was delicious! The pasta did the trick but we asked for spaghetti and they gave us penne. We were in a semi-rush so we didn't complain. Major tip: READ YOUR RECIEPTS. They automatically included a 3% credit card charge and 18% gratuity. Thank goodness I checked the reciepts first because after we gave them our card, they returned it without the original receipt that explained gratuity was included. I've seen restaurants do this (even restaurants I've worked for in the past) to trick undetailed people to giving nearly a 40% tip. I always let my customers know about extra charges like credit card and automatic gratuity - just so they aren't tricked into paying more than they'd like - but they didn't say one word. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the view. I would suggest this place to others but just make sure to be thorough with your orders and the check! read more

Piccolo Trattoria is your basic pizzeria They offer the usual assortment of pizzas and even make a gluten-free version. Quality is average. I wish they made more interesting pizzas, especially thin crust with toppings like prosciutto and arugula and mushrooms... On Roosevelt Island, they enjoy à quasi-monopoly do they have no incentive to be creative read more

If you're considering eating on Roosevelt Island, you pretty much have three choices - Riverwalk Bar & Grill, Fuji East, and Nonno's "Focacceria" (read: pizzeria). For a cheap/casual/quick bite, Nonno's is your best bet. We stopped in for a snack after visiting the very nice Four Freedoms Park (http://www.yelp.com/biz/franklin-d-roosevelt-four-freedoms-park-roosevelt-island#hrid:UIeByy_7qMM31Fb7P4_WYQ)...Nonno's reminds me of off-campus college food. It screams pizzeria from the outside, but they have gyros, sandwiches, burgers, and a whole bunch of other random stuff on their menu too. We stuck to some white slices, and were pleased with the colossal slices we got for $2.50 apiece. The pizza was OK - nothing stellar, but definitely a generous portion size for the price. Service was friendly, and they brought our food over to our table when it was done...nice touch. Would I return to Roosevelt Island...ever? Probably not. Hmmmm, not sure where I was going with that... read more

I've ordered here many, many times for eat in, delivery and pick up, and I've noticed a lot of inconsistency in the food. The last time I ordered will probably be the last time I order.

I must admit, after reading the reviews of this location, it gave me much reserve. Are we still dealing with blatant forms of racism, even in NY but against my better judgement, I had to see for myself and give Piccolo Trattoria a fair shot. Perhaps they read the reviews over the past few months and made some changes or maybe they do not care at all but the goal was to see what differences I would face, if any. This was my first trip to Roosevelt Island and I must say, the scenery was enough to make me want to stay for awhile and walk about but I am here for the Pizza. I found your spot with ease and upon walking in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile and hello. My waitress sat me immediately and brought out my utensils along with the menu. There was one customer inside and two gentlemen that were not of color came shortly after I arrived but unlike the reviews before my own, everyone was taken care of in the order they had arrived and my food came out within minutes of my order. I started with the fried shrimp with marinara sauce. The shrimp came with flare and sparked up a liveliness within my tastebuds that set my soul ablaze! Crunchy and Fresh with a nice bite to them, what else can you ask for? This was quickly followed up with my meatlovers pizza. HOT AND FRESH Baby!! The mozzarella had more pull than a tow truck. Cheesy with a subtle hint of attitude and that is what I look for in my cheese. The sauce was definitely made in house, not that lazy mess in a can that you'd get with some locations and so far, we have a pizza worth chewing. Meatballs & Pepperoni were sliced with precision and provided a breath of fresh meaty air, with a touch of spice so nice off the pepperoni, while my meatball reminded me of those Swedish meatballs, it came equipped with all the necessary seasonings to promptly finesse palette. The crust? Need we even speak on the crust? BUT OF COURSE!!!! Crunchy and powerful!! Crispy with a brick oven bark that even the biggest dog would fear and I was satisfied THROUGH and THROUGH!! I WILL BE BACK!!! read more

This is the worst pizza place there is. It only survives because it is the only pizza place on the island. For god sakes, EVEN THE TRUCK PIZZA THAT HAS BEEN COMING TO THE ISLAND IS BETTER THAN THIS CRAP. Not to mention, their customer service is horrendous. Do not come. Save yourself the gagging and head to any other restaurant on the island. Even the pizza truck is better than this. Blegh. read more

This is probably the worst place to eat on Roosvelt Island. It's not just that the staff is disrespectful or the fact that they charge extra if you use a credit card without even telling you, but it's also the fact that the food taste's horrible. They have over priced everything from the pizz la they offer to burgers and drinks. A veggie burger is for $12 on menu but you will be suprised when your receipt will show $32 for two burgers, a soda and coconut water. Trust me, the tax is not the tax, it's the charge they dont disclose to you. After all that, soggy and tasteless food. Take your business elsewhere. Management is horrible and clearly I'm not the only one as per other reviews on this place. read more

Excellent pasta. Friendly service. Carlo! Went with a party of 9 and all enjoyed their dishes. Really tasty. Worth a detour.

Very disappointing place Good: Only pizzeria on Roosevelt island. And that's the only thing going for it. Bad: The pizzas. They are nothing to talk home about. They are not even satisfying. Pretty pricey for what they offer. They offer two sizes medium and large. The medium was enough for two people in size. The crust was somewhere in between thin crust and regular crust. No choices offered here. The cheese tastes stale, sauce is tasteless and the vegetables don't feel fresh. We also ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza. Because who can go wrong with that one right? Well Nino's can. The pepperoni aren't flavorful, small little pieces and at 3 dollars a slice you feel like you are paying for greasy slice of bread with some fake cheese and meat on it. It was very disappointing. Ugly: The staff. They don't care about the business. They were taking pictures with each other while three sets of customers were waiting on line. One guy was on the phone, one woman in the bathroom. It appeared Hobbs mismanaged and not a place that actually wants to do business. This place works because there is nothing else on the island that serves pizza. Except on days when the food truck comes in. I wont recommend this place to anyone. read more

*Open for takeout during COVID* We placed a takeout order of mozzarella sticks, onion rings, lasagna, and baked ziti; came out to ~$40, which is great for two entrees and two apps in NYC. The order was ready super quickly, in 10 minutes, and the food was piping hot. Highly recommend the baked ziti; the portion size was huge and it was deliciously cheesy. The lasagna was good, but a much smaller portion than the ziti, even though it was the same price. read more

I want to have it again. I know I just finished a meal there and I'm walking back to work struggling to keep my mask on, but I want to have it again. The wait time wasn't too long, time between my order and the arrival of my food was roughly 14 minutes. Also, people of color were seated about 2 tables away from me, enjoying their personal pizzas and dishes of fried shrimp. From their excited commentary (?) I had much to look forward to... then my order arrived. Juicy meatballs. Crispy crust. Right amount of grease. The mushrooms were on point, good balance of chewiness and flavor. Pretty decent cheese pulls, to the point that it drooped and almost flew onto the chair opposite my table. The edges of the pepperoni slices were slightly burnt, but that might be your thing, because that is definitely my thing. Wonderful waiter with excellent service who refilled my water with a smile, he's been juggling the cleanup and waltzing around taking orders, stay healthy man. Then, we get to the kale and roasted beet salad. The extra kale I asked for came in good quantity. The deep flavor profiles between the orange segments, vinaigrette and cheese is extraordinary, a wonderful palate cleanser. As you fellow foodies know, the hallmark of a good salad is when it serves as a mildly bitter base for you to appreciate the explosion of flavor that comes from the rest of the meal. And the best part is when I alternate between the salad and the pizza to enjoy its best bits over and over again. Every time it delights my tongue, I wash out the sensation with a bit of salad, an orange segment, a bit of water, and then take another bite out of the pizza. Over, and over again. A badly made pizza would raise your awareness towards the taste of the kale and beet. It's been about 4 days since I found a pizzeria that could make me look forward to eating there again. I'd love to try the pickup service. read more
