The upstairs bartender was fabulous so friendly so cheerful we may have even gotten a couple little but the downstairs bathrooms well they're actually the only bathrooms are a black hole. Look at these pictures if you are slightly or even really visually impaired watch out not only might you fall in you might not even find the toilet. OK watch out. The drinks are good but the turtles are who read more

Robertas - The Black Hole - Pizza Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I were trying to find a place near Penn Station for our group dinner, and she suggested Roberta's. I had had no idea that they had opened a second outpost in Manhattan, but I had loved the tasting menu that I participated in at the Brooklyn location several years ago. So, I was super excited to try their pizza and more basic items a little closer to home. The restaurant was located on the north side of Madison Square Garden, on a newly renovated pedestrian-only block. The ground floor housed a takeout pizza joint (by the slice or full pies), while there was a full-service restaurant up a flight of stairs. (There was also an elevator, so it was accessible.) They offered a large, indoor dining room, as well as an outdoor terrace with its own bar. There was a party happening on the rooftop, so we were sat indoors, which was fine except for the acoustics; the place was so crowded and buzzing that it was near impossible to hear each other from across the table. Also, our server was decent, but really could have been much more attentive and friendly; he seemed like he had a chip on his shoulder. We started our meal with some drinks, and I opted for the A$AP Julio, which included habanero tequila, cherry, pineapple, vanilla, and lime juice. It reminded me of a spicy fruit punch, so it was definitely sweet, but it was also really tasty. Later in the evening, I ordered a glass of the La Collina, 'Corale', Lambrusco Salamino from Italy, which I did not like nearly as much. I thought it was dry and a bit funky. It was also a rose, not a red sparkling, which was new to me. From a food perspective, the table shared two pizzas - the Margherita and the Bee Sting. The Margherita was rather bland and missing something...perhaps salt and/or garlic? The Bee Sting had the added toppings of soppressata, chili, and honey, so it was sweeter, spicier, and just much more flavorful. In addition, I ordered the Linguine with Mussels as my entree. The large bowl of long noodles was black from its squid ink sauce. There were also shelled mussels, small clams in their shells, and sliced green onions hidden beneath the thick ink. The sauce had a salty brine to it that was just heavenly! The pasta was also the perfect al dente texture. I took a forkful of my friend's Spaghettini with Lobster, which was topped with chili and gremolata breadcrumbs, and enjoyed it, but found it not quite as interesting and bold as my pasta dish. Roberta's definitely had its share of pluses and minuses, but, overall, it offered a mostly enjoyable meal in a casual, comfortable environment. read more

I have been to Roberta's in Brooklyn and hands down the best spot for pizza ever. I thought it would be the same for this location. It doesn't have the cozy vibe. Take out is on ground level. The restaurant is upstairs and it's kinda small. We ordered two pizzas and a salad. The salad was terrible. It was called summer lettuce which was bitter and not enough dressing. The two pizzas were the bee sting and margarita. They were both pretty good except for the burnt parts of the pizza. I love Roberta's and will definitely go back to the one in Brooklyn but probably not this location. read more

This outpost of the venerable Brooklyn pizza chain was interesting--quite a space and locale, with a large roof deck overlooking MSG and the burgeoning Penn station area. Came here with a large group for an outing so we ordered/sampled a lot. The pies are good, but you definitely feel that step down in quality from the original, famous Brooklyn location to the midtown/touristy version of that historic pizza. The margherita pizza was in fact a bit boring, but the Bee Sting had a nice kick, and I just loved the clam pie. The cocktails were solid, including a Mezcal Negroni that was nice and smooth; my friends who are connoisseurs were pretty happy with the wine options, and got us a couple of bottles to pair with our pies. I would have liked to see a few more draft beers options, but they did at least have a solid Other Half IPA The setting was certainly lovely but the service... had issues. We were there a while, ordered a lot; not only did nothing come out in a particularly timely fashion, but there were some incredibly preposterous delays. We ordered a pitcher of beer that they must have been "changing the tap on" for about 30 minutes, and at one point I ordered a cocktail that easily took 30 minutes--two different servers came by multiple times to ask if I had gotten it yet--it felt comical. Eventually, of course, I got two mezcal negronis delivered in about 3 minutes. They were sheepishly apologetic about the service--mentioned a couple of times that it was a new spot and they were settling in also it was crowded. And I think they at least comped us on the second Negroni since we only wanted one. We were having fun and took it in stride, but even as the crowd thinned, service remained slow and sparse--great views on a nice day, but overall experience a bit of a red flag for me. read more

Roberta's in Penn Plaza is almost as good as the Bushwick flagship without having to make the trip. Convenient to the Highline, Madison Square Garden, Penn Station/Moynihan Train Hall, the main Post Office and Hudson Yards/Manhattan West. The food and service are terrific. A little noisy, but you don't come to Roberta's eat in silence. Go and have some fun. read more

Roberta's near Penn Station! I went here in September for a work dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly thought this was going to be a wayyyy more casual spot than it actually was because well, Penn can be a little shady. We went on a Monday night right after work and headed straight to the rooftop for a few pre-dinner pops at the outdoor bar. The breeze was wonderful. Once our whole party arrived, we headed back inside and sat down. As I had the role of curating the menu for the evening, I went through and picked out everything I thought looked delicious or was hungry for. We started off with the Stracciatella and bread, the prosciutto with melon, and the Little Gem salads. I could've gone without the prosciutto and melon, but the bread with the cheese and the salads were incredible. I would definitely recommend these to anyone and I will definitely order these in the future. For the entrées, we did a mix of pizzas and pastas, no meat dishes. For the pizzas, we got two margaritas, one clam pizza, and one Bee Sting pizza (tomato, mozzarella, soppressata, basil, chili, honey). The clam pizza was my least favorite, which was disappointing because the last time I had a clam pizza it was out of this world... sadly no repeat here. For the pastas, we got a Bucatini Amatriciana (guanciale, tomato and pecorino romano) and the Pappardelle with meat sauce. Once we got these dishes, we knew that we would need to order more food so we got an additional Bee Sting pizza as well as the Corn Agnolotti and the plain pomodoro pasta. Out of the entrées, I will say that my absolute favorites were the Bee Sting pizza, and the Bucatini pasta. The service was great -- not overly attentive to the point of overwhelming, but always there when we needed it. I will definitely come back here again especially during the warmer months! This is a wonderful addition to the area. read more

We went on a Tuesday night, able to get reservations for that day for 3 which was great. Ambiance was good and it was pretty crowded. Ordered the gem salad, gardineria and STRACCIATELLA and bread. all were very good The STRACCIATELLA was incredible, definitely a must have. We also got two pizzas - the bee sting and that's all folks. Both had good flavor however I think they needed to be cooked a bit longer. Very floppy and all the toppings fell off. Would definitely return! read more

We were upstairs and shared the sweet and spicy pizza and their endive salad. He got a beer; I got a dirty martini. The food was great. Drinks were yum. Ambience was MSG and Penn Station so take that into consideration but as far as wood-fired pizza goes, I enjoyed it! Next time I would probably order to-go since it's so close to the hotel we stay at. read more

Stopped in for 1 cocktail before a concert at MSG just to scope this new spot out on a Wednesday. Excellent service and beautiful outdoor space. I came back on Saturday with the hubs to try the food. We weren't disappointed! So- we only tried the Bee Sting pizza though. My husband inhaled that thing. I only got a slice and a half but it was worth it to see the look on his face We sat on the outdoor patio overlooking Penn Plaza below. The people watching was a HUGE BONUS!! I have to say, every worker i encountered was polite and welcoming. We were checked on by at least 4 different people. The space is fabulous and we were told they plan on adding more like a sushi bar. The cocktails are inventive and fresh. No premixed stuff here. I'll probably be back in a week- get here early for a prime seat. The word will be out shortly and they will be packed! read more

If you're ever in the city, Roberta's NYC at Penn Station is an absolute must-visit. The location couldn't be more convenient, and the vibe is unmatched. On the ground floor it's a pizza shop but go up a couple of flights and it's an oasis. We sat outside at a communal table, surrounded by comfortable lounge sofas. So relaxing. My friend and I ordered the juiciest, thickest, most flavorful burgers I've had in a long time with the tastiest fried potatoes (not fries)--served with a sauce that reminded me of Shake Shack's but honestly far superior. We sat on the rooftop, soaking in a perfect mix of pop, R&B, and '90s hip-hop playing in the background, which made the experience even more memorable. Great food, great atmosphere, and an easy go-to spot whether you're traveling through Penn Station or just hanging out in the city. read more

We showed up on a Tuesday night without a reservation and had to wait about 35 minutes for a table. Given that we'd tried to come before but couldn't get a reservation, I'm sensing a pattern--reservations might be a good idea. Once inside, we found the high ceilings made for great acoustics--no shouting required to hear your dining companions, which is always a plus. The vibe was laid-back, making it a great spot to linger over a meal. We tried the Bee Sting, Margherita, and the mushroom special pizzas. The sauce-to-topping ratio was just right, though I wouldn't have minded a little extra cheese. The crust was thin yet chewy--just how I like it. Would I return? Yes--though next time, I might plan ahead and book a table! read more

Great vibes for amazing Italian food. I went as a group of 4 and shared many different items. We got - Fire&Ice $21 (5/5) - This comes with the fluffiest dough and super creamy stracciatella. I loved the combination of the warm fluffy bread, creamy cheese and the kick from the n`duja. It was also a huge plate so we saved this to pair with the pizza crust later. - Summer lettuces $16 (3/5) This was fine but it's literally just lettuce with ground pepper. We ordered it because we needed something more refreshing but it's not really worth it. I'd try their giardinera next time. - Tuna Carpaccio $26 (2.5/5) This was the only item that really disappointed me. The tuna was still not melted and icy and it was way too salty. I've had much better tuna or carpaccio in many other places. - Corn agnolotti $29 (4.5/5) This was really interesting and super flavorful. The sweetness of the corn fit in perfectly with the strong flavor of the pecorino. Some of my friends were thrown off by the sweetness of the corn though so beware. - Bee Sting $25 (4.5/5) I loved this! It's spicy and sweet and the dough is so fluffy. I guess many other pizza places in nyc have a similar item but this was still great! - Guanciale Egg Pizza (5/5) Classic Italian pizza. I genuinely enjoyed this. The egg was gooey and it paired so well with the spicy oil Roberta has. It was a bit salty but I still enjoyed it. Overall, I really enjoyed this place! The mains were unique and all really interesting. I'd come back! read more

The pizza came very burnt. The waiter was rude several times. Expensive for the low quality food you get.

With all the choices in NY, go elsewhere. Overpriced pizza and mediocre pasta. I left hungry and I don't eat very much.

Did not meet my expectations! Too little food for the amt, charged, I would not recommend this place to no one!

Went here on a recommendation. It was very good!!! Shared a delicious margherita pizza and prosciutto and melon appetizer. Ambience, service and food all a 5! We were seated within 10 minutes as we didn't have a reservation. read more

Went here for lunch with my wife and another couple. Nice roomy dining area that also has a large outside rooftop dining area. Friendly service and excellent food. My wife had a giant cheeseburger and I had the Porchetta Hash. All was piping hot and delicious. Price are on the high side for lunch. We had two of the less expensive menu items and no alcohol and it still cost us $80 for lunch. Then again we are talking about NYC. read more
