Margarita
Anushka M.

The pizza here is so good! It's fresh wood fired pizza and their menu has great options. We came on a Friday for lunch and it was fairly empty so we were able to grab a table easily. We got the margherita and tartufo e porcini pizzas. We ordered at the front and our food was brought out to us. Both pizzas were delicious. The margherita was a classic and tasted exactly how it should. The mushroom pizza was good as well and had a good amount of mushroom toppings. Overall we loved it and we'll definitely be back!

This is a really nice and casual pizza spot. We set outside. The service was quick and friendly. We had tow pizzas and a salad. Everything was freshly made. They also have a small but really nice wine list.

Really laid back cute spot for a quick snack, but that snack is delicious, doughy, Neapolitan style pizza. Very casual. Great service. Also, the ceiling is gorgeous. Would recommend if you're in the area and want to relax for a bit in a non rushed but also non pub style place.

This was my first time visiting Simo and I must say that I was impressed. I ordered the Carnivora Pizza and a glass of Prosecco wine. The pizza was delicious and the wine was much needed after a long day. The waiters were friendly and provided excellent customer service. They played nice music and it was pretty quiet for a Tuesday afternoon. I really enjoyed my meal and the crust on the pizza was very soft. I will definitely be back to try other pizza options on the menu. I had a great experience here.

Talk about a good deal! Super friendly and clean restaurant. Not much seating inside but decent amount of space outside Pizza came quick and well made, and for the price, you really can't complain. It tasted like a classic brilliant pizza and Large portions too!

Good chewy pizza. The dough is resilient. I had the tartufo well done. Enjoyable n I'll be back to try a different pie

Having been to Naples this past fall, I was skeptical that this pizza would taste as fresh and light as they are in Italy. This was the best Neapolitan style pizza I have had in New York City. The caprese salad with burrata was fresh and delicious. The tomato was flavorful with the perfect amount of olive oil and ridiculously creamy burrata. The ingredients were delicious and the pizza was served very quickly and piping hot. The restaurant was quaint and clean with staff that was friendly and knew the menu.

Margherita, Cacio e Pepe and Insalata Caprese

Loved the food! The service was extremely fast. We were literally setting ourselves up at our tables after we took our orders and it was brought out real quick. We ordered from a kiosk stand and then sat at a table. It was a bit empty but I saw the another table when it got a bit more crowded. They had their order come out quick as well. Even though the service was fast, the pizza did not taste as if it was microwaved or not cooked properly because you'd think it was since it came out fast. It tasted fresh and of high quality! The servers were very kind and helpful. The ambiance, let's just say the music got me doing my dancey dance in my chair (even though it was in Italian and I didn't understand a word) I would most definitely recommend this place to all pizza lovers and everyone as well!

Margarita pizza
Alex K.

Big fan of Naples style pizza here. It isn't like NY style pizza with the crusty bottom; it's light, slightly chewy and airy with classic caramelized to charred bulbous thingese. I've been trying to find a place that can deliver what I experienced in Naples, but I'll have to keep searching. Simo has given a good effort, but I think they could go with a sweeter sauce and a lighter airier crust. However the ambiance is lovely and service excellent. Give'm a try and see if Naples style pizza is of your liking.

Carnivora
Taylor K.

Decent pizza! The service was pretty quick and very very kind. I wasn't a big fan of the crust but overall it had good flavor and lots of toppings. The inside of this restaurant is super cute.

This is a Margarita style pizza with their salami (pepperoni). It was so good!

This was a good place to eat Napoli style pizza. It was delicious and the service was great!

Prosciutto e Funghi and Marinara.

I love Simo on Gansevoort St and came here not long after it opened when they were still ironing out a few kinks. Thoroughly enjoyed my recent revisit though! It's a similar format to the other branch. Here you order and pay at a touchscreen (which allows you to customize your pizza) and then your food and drinks are bought to you. There's a wider range of pizza here and they also have more salads. It's very well priced, swift service, the room and seating is pleasant and they have plenty of tables outside. I love the pizza here, thin crust, very authentic, reminds me of the ones I've eaten in Italy. I think I slightly prefer the original Simo but this one is conveniently located for me. It's a great option for a quick lunch that won't break the bank!

Calzone

This is now my go-to for Neapolitan pizza. Where else can you find a $12.5 pie in the NYC? Wouldn't say it's the best Neapolitan pizza I have ever had, but it's the best I tried in the city (Neapolitan). I love the ricotta cheese providing the creaminess. The dough is not as airy as I love, but for $12.5 I am willing to go for it. It's an easygoing place that can go for a casual lunch. I had a great time there with my starving college friend.

Do all your cheeses contain animal rennet?

Our mozzarella does not contain animal rennet but the majority of our pizzas have a touch of pecorino cheese on them, and our pecorino does contain animal rennet. If you’re looking for a fully vegetarian meal, you can choose to order your pizza…

Taylor's Tayke: Da Andrea is a great option for Italian…read moredining in Chelsea, with a warm atmosphere that works perfectly for date night or dinner with friends. The menu has plenty of variety across pastas, seafood, and cocktails, with some unique dishes that made the experience memorable. The drinks were a highlight, and the seafood options stood out the most for me. My Tipsy Tayke: The Fragola Fizz was juicy, fruity, and refreshing. The Forever Summer was another standout, with the smokiness of the mezcal blending really well with the fruit flavors without overpowering them. Both are easy recommendations depending on whether you want something fruity or a little more complex. My Taysty Tayke: Get Down & Dirty, Expeditiously: Seafood Ravioli Unique, flavorful, and packed with different seafood flavors. The ravioli itself was delicate and had a tendency to fall apart, but the flavor made up for it. Standout: Calamari Crispy, seasoned, and enjoyable. It had a slightly chewy texture, but I still found myself going back for more. The Carpaccio wasn't necessarily for me texture-wise, but I really enjoyed the greens and dressing that accompanied it. The garnish felt intentional and helped bring the dish together. The Pappardelle came with plenty of sauce but could have used more flavor overall. The complimentary bread was also tougher and chewier than I prefer. Desserts: The Lemon Sorbet was easily my favorite dessert. Bright, refreshing, and packed with real lemon flavor. The Mango Sorbet was another refreshing option with a smooth tropical sweetness. The Panna Cotta Cheesecake leaned closer to a mousse in texture and was definitely on the sweeter side. I especially enjoyed it with the cherry, which helped balance everything out. Service: Warm and attentive throughout the meal, fitting the inviting atmosphere. Plates From My Visit: Calamari Carpaccio Seafood Ravioli Pappardelle Lemon Sorbet Mango Sorbet Panna Cotta Cheesecake Fragola Fizz Forever Summer In Conclusion: A warm Chelsea Italian spot with strong cocktails, unique seafood dishes, and refreshing desserts. The Seafood Ravioli was the highlight of the savory side, but whatever you do, save room for that Lemon Sorbet. Stamped by Elajas

There are numerous locations now in the city but this was my first time going and I was definitely eyeing it for awhile. They do weekday lunch specials of $14 pastas, boozey weekend brunches for around $24/25(not including food), and $12 Sunday dinner specials on entrees as well as happy hours on weekdays from 4-7pm that include: $7 snacks, $8 wine, $5 beer, $9 spritzes, and $9 wells. I happened to come in for Labor Day Brunch on Saturday. We both said we were going to do unlimited but honestly could only finish about a pitcher of mimosa and they only charged us for the one pitcher was the nice part. I went with Carbonara Pasta and my boyfriend had the egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich with fries. I'm not gonna lie, I've never gone to aycd brunch and have not finished my food but I could not finish my entree it was so massive and filling. I haven't had a pasta this rich in ages and it was so so good and I am all for not having those skimpy little portions. He couldn't finish his sandwich either. I tried one of the fries and it was nicely battered thick cut wedge fries. Maybe I haven't been eating out alot lately but I was legit impressed. The staff was wonderful and thoughtful. The cafe in itself is very cute and Italian with black and white marble in the bathrooms, white marble bar top, hanging plants, interesting light fixtures. I'm definitely going to make a point to come back soon.

The restaurant was definitely exuding a rich Italian vibe with Aperol Spritz cocktails, $7.00 pizzas, citrus fruits and striped banquettes. I saw lots of patrons enjoying a Friday evening out after a long work week. Definitely a nice neighborhood cafe to wind down in. We ended up sitting at the bar since we were only there for happy hour. I had an Aperol Spritz and shared the happy hour $7.00 pizza with my friend. Both were very good. Spritz was a gorgeous summer color and flavor. Our bartender was busy but definitely acknowledged and attended to us respectfully. We were only there for a short amount of time and I did not get to the bathroom. The restaurant had a mature crowd and was presented in a clean and professional manner. I would enjoy spending more time here and having a proper meal. Looking forward to my next visit.

L'Artusi knows what it's doing…read more Made a stop at this West Village Italian spot and ordered the tagliatelle, a Bombshell, and a gin gimlet. The tagliatelle was the star of the show, and having two cocktails to work through certainly didn't hurt the experience. The Bombshell was a fun choice, while the gin gimlet was a solid option for something a little more classic. L'Artusi has the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger over dinner instead of rushing through it. Definitely a good option if you're in the mood for Italian food and a proper cocktail in NYC. Would happily come back to try more of the menu. My only problem with New York is that there are too many places to eat and not enough meals in a day.

Overhyped, underwhelming, and not worth the trip I had been…read morelooking forward to trying L'Artusi after hearing how difficult reservations were to secure. I booked a table for 6:30 p.m., noted that we were celebrating my mom's birthday, and specifically requested a nice table. Unfortunately, the experience fell well short of expectations, from the seating to the food. Although the restaurant was busy when we arrived, the check-in experience felt impersonal. No smile, no particularly warm greeting--just a perfunctory welcome before we were escorted upstairs and seated right next to a busy bussing station, with a garbage bin practically behind me. To make matters worse, fruit flies circled my mom's head throughout the meal, and no one seemed particularly concerned. We were seated promptly at 6:30 p.m., but within five to ten minutes, several more appealing tables for two, including booth seating, became available. Given that I had flagged my mom's birthday as a special occasion and requested a nice table, it was disappointing that no one seemed to have taken that request into consideration. We could easily have been asked to wait a few minutes for a better table rather than being seated beside the bussing station and garbage. Those tables remained empty for 20 min and a mother and daughter that were blonde were seated w a smile and then the other table was seated by a European looking couple. Good job. I could have overlooked the seating situation if the food had been exceptional. It wasn't. The Into the Woods cocktail was excellent and ended up being the only thing I genuinely enjoyed. The branzino had a distinctly fishy taste, which was particularly disappointing because I specifically gravitate toward branzino for its milder flavor. The bucatini was also underwhelming and seemed to be missing the chili. Honestly, even the tomato pasta at Eataly has better flavor, which floored me given the reputation L'Artusi has built. And it wasn't just our table. The diners seated next to me were sharing their dishes among themselves and commenting on how underwhelming the food was. They ultimately skipped dessert as well, remarking that nothing about the dessert offerings seemed particularly appealing after their experience with the main courses. Hearing other diners express the same disappointment only reinforced my impression of the meal. I had been looking forward to trying the desserts, too, but by that point, we had lost our enthusiasm and decided to skip them. When the overall experience is this lackluster, even dessert doesn't feel worth staying for. I had been so excited to finally get a reservation, especially after repeatedly hearing how difficult they are to come by. Now I find myself wondering what all the fuss is about. Neither the food nor the service justified the hype, and the experience certainly wasn't worth the time and car service from Midtown. I even left a 20% tip. Perhaps out of generosity of spirit--or perhaps it was the cocktail talking--but in hindsight, that felt more like charity than a reflection of the experience.
