This is one of those restaurants you remember and the next time you are in the city you are thinking..."Where was that cute Italian place we eat at last time". My first trip here two years ago was with my Italian Exchange student, his family, and their Italian Immigrant Cousin. He claimed this was as close to his childhood in Italy that he could remember. The food is fresh and authentic. The atmosphere is cozy and lively. Gabriel, our waiter, was attentive and helpful and speaks Italian. The wood fire oven gives the pizzas a fantastic flavor. The pizzas are light on sauce and so thin that the flavor has nowhere to hide. The pasta bolognese was perfect...perfect balance on the flavors, perfect cooked wide pasta. Probably half the restaurant were Italian speakers...if they want to eat here, so should you. So take a stroll down McDougal Street to Houston and turn left...pass the oldest pasta maker in NYC you will find it. read more

Song E Napule is a classy and bright restaurant, full of good vibes. The service was genuinely warm and friendly. I came with a large group, and they were able to accommodate us last minute. The décor is a love letter to Naples. I was sitting under lemons hanging from the ceiling and the wall. Cute décor overall. Despite having to take care of such a large group, our orders came out quicker than I thought. I ordered the Diavola - a personal pizza made with mozzarella, tomato sauce, spicy salami. I didn't think I was going to be able to eat all of it, but it was so light and perfectly crispy that I did finished it up. It was delicious. read more

This Neapolitan style pizza is to die for! Chewy charred edge crust is just perfect.. And whatever toppings you like is what you should go for. I'm obsessed with mortadella so that's my fav pizza there. Mortadella e Pistacchio is just the perfect pizza!! I've tried others though and they're all uniquely tasty. Diavola, funghi, bufalina have all been devoured without complaints. Their meatballs are very soft too, it's a great starter. The Italian accents of the servers are also adorable. Feels very cozy and welcoming there. I'd advise to make a reservation. read more

This is obviously a neighborhood favorite. Place was packed and buzzing with patrons. We were seated immediately and our waitress popped by instantly. Food also arrived really quick and was so yummy. Pizza and pasta both were very yummy. Caesar salad was one of my favorites I've had. If you don't like loud music and noisy environment then skip this spot. It's very lively. My only complaint was our server never brought our water. She started off strong but we had to flag her down every time we needed anything. However, she managed to visit with our neighbors table at length. Perhaps they were a regular but we left a little annoyed with the service. Pizza was great though! read more

The best Neapolitan pizza you can find in the city! I have been there so many times. The service is really good, and for all the time you are staying inside, the restaurant decorations and vibe will make you feel like you are in Napoli read more

Came to eat here on a work outing. Tight fitting with the seating but I think that's expected in NY. Service was a bit slow after initial ordering as well but the place was packed so seems expected. The food itself (got the Primavera pizza) was really good and I'd recommend it. But price to taste, I'd say I'd rather hit up those dollar pizzas you can get walking around. I also can't give 5 stars at this place cause randomly it turned into a club with loud music for some bday people. I guess cool for the bday folks cause they looked like they were having fun but I'm sensitive to loud noises so couldn't stand it and was relieved when they killed the loud music. I saw a lot of takeout happening for it so if anything I'd recommend that. read more

After a long shopping day in SoHo, we walked into Song E Napule at around 4pm and were seated immediately. From the moment you walk in, you're transported to a Italy. From their service, the food, the ambiance, all of it has some Italian charm to it. The pizzas were so remarkably light and airy. Normally after eating pizza, I get food coma/feel a little sick from the greasiness but not here, it didn't weigh me down at all! Once 5pm rolled around, lines started to form so I would recommend coming during off times to avoid crowds. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back to try out other pizzas! read more

We were watching "Stanley Tucci Eats Italy" one night and the show was in Naples. I decided I must have what I was watching on TV and Googled, "Authentic Naples Restaurant Near Me" and found Song E Napule was just 5 blocks away. Within about an hour I was eating just what I had seen on TV and we've been back (or had delivered) many times since. The pizzas are wonderful Italian (not NY) style pizzas. The pasta dishes are incredible too. Highly recommend!! read more

I've been on a gourmet pizza hunt in recent weeks, so I've made it a mission to try some of the best NYC and even Jersey City has to offer. Unlike some of the fancier spots, I was able to secure a reservation easily at 7:30pm on a Friday evening. The place is pretty cute in both the interior and exterior. Definitely gives the vibes of a pizzeria in Italy, definitely Naples. Knowing the style of pizza and the sizing, we opted for two pizzas. We got the pizza parmigiana and what I believe is the Porcini, but could easily be wrong. It's the white pie with mushrooms and I guess some basil. Pizzas were awesome. Very easy to eat as the pies were very light. The pizza parmigiana was one of my favorites as eggplant is my favorite gourmet topping. Marinara sauce was also wonderfully tasty. The white pie was good too. I just think I butchered the actual item I ordered. The service is relatively fast once you place your order too. I think we finished in just under an hour. Pricey, but worth a visit once (or a few times if you can) read more

3.5 stars Got the Truffle (Tartufata) and Napoletana (with anchovies) pizza + calamari.

Very good Neapolitan pies paired with slightly clubby vibes ostensibly geared towards the NYU crowd. (Read: birthday celebrations entail the lights being shut off and "In Da Club" being played at top volume.) The best components of the pies we ordered were the dough (naturally) and the succulent mashed eggplant on the parmigiana pie. Those two items alone are enough to warrant a return visit! read more

Got the margarita pizza and broccoli rabe. They were both cold as they were delivered. I think both would've tasted much better fresh and on site. The rabe cooked extra via steam during transit so they didn't have much of a bite. The pizza dough was chewy and nice. Not sure if it's the best tasting pizza but definitely above average if you like Neapolitan pizzas. I'd try this place again for a proper review. My suggestion is that you shouldn't get this place delivered. Will try again in the near future. read more

I dream of Song e Napule. It is the best place I have ever enjoyed pizza in the city. The restaurant we went to countless times was the original, size of a postage stamp and all the better for it. Exceptional pizza. Every time I took a bite I kept saying to my husband, I can't believe how good this is. That's only happened once before with a simply unmatched chocolate batch from a meandering street in Paris. Song e Napule is excellent, and it is the only restaurant on our list when we visit. It's unmatched, it really is. read more

We stopped by for some Naples style pizza on our Scott's Pizza Tour. While that style of pizza probably is not my personal top choice, this place really was the best to try it.

Seventeen months ago, this establishment graced me with the most precious moment. Eating Margherita pizza with guttural noises of approval from my compatriot Jackson, we spotted a girl no older than six roaming the restaurant with immense comfort. Hugging workers legs and peering onto the open kitchen counters. We thought this was surely blood to the owner, but it was cuter than that. Every Sunday this little girl would join her father for lunch at Song E Napule. She'd been coming here for hundreds of Sundays! Our waiter brought her over like the celebrity she is and introduced this little legend. Initially shying away, I asked to hear her favorite slice. In very American English she says "cheeeese" and then in very Italian English "and Margherita!" I affirm her by saying (in American English) that Margherita is my favorite too. Her response (in very Italian English) was "No! Mar-guh-reeta!!" Cute, adorable, sweet, all of the above. Shoutout that dad too, you rock. Our party came to share a Margherita pie and was met with the same familial hospitality. When your waiter hits you with a "there you go family" while he sets down a circle of oven-fired heaven then you've made it. Savor that moment and any future seat in this place. A final anecdote, tummies were a bit shambolic after a lot of previous restaurant stops. The lemon baking soda concoction that coats mustaches and drips onto your shoes single-handedly revived my guy Dom's stummy. Song E Napule deserves your time. Much love! read more

This is my answer to the often asked--"what is your favorite pizza place in Manhattan?" Song'E Napule serves, by far, the best Napoli-style pizza I've had outside of Napoli. Take it from those in the know. Almost half of my fellow diners were speaking Italian. We ordered the delightful Diavola and Primavera pizzas and finished with a Nutella panacotta. Everything was fantastic. We come here often enough that I also have to address the birthday celebrations. They are wild and fun. The staff will bring out whipped cream and spray the birthday celebrant's face while throbbing Italian pop booms through the restaurant. It is an experience. Also, if you're curious what the Napoli/Neopolitan style is (it's not chocolate/strawberry/vanilla, for one), I'll quickly explain because it is not your standard New York slice. If you're not curious or already know what Napoli pizza is, all I have to say is this: Song'E nails it. Napoli explainer: In Neopolitan pizza, the key is simplicity. The thin crust is made of very few but extremely fresh ingredients. Bubbles should appear in the crust and there should be a slight char to the bottom. The sauce is also simple and the cheese (fresh buffala mozzarella) is in reduced proportion but still packs a flavor punch. The pizza has to be cooked at a higher temperature and for less time, so a specialized oven is required. And, famously, the first bites of every slice need to be eaten with a fork and knife, rather than by hand. read more

I saved this spot on my list to try their pizzas. When my friend mentioned that she was craving pizza, I suggested this place. Honestly, I was quite disappointed for my first impression... I came here for 7pm dinner with 2 friends. Since I knew this place is known for it's pizza, we opted to share a large 16 inch Margherita Pizza. The initial bite was good. It was warm. The pizza was a bit burnt on the crust, but it was understandable cause it comes from the pizza oven. The sauce was good - could tell that it's San Marzano. The cheese was not covering the whole slice like a standard NYC pizza, but more like circles of cheese pieces placed over the sauce. The cheese was good too. There were barely any basil on it. Overall the pizza tasted fine. However, I didn't think it matched it's pricing. The large pie was $28, but the slice were quite small. The size of the pie despite being "large" wasn't very big. This itself wasn't filling at all. Secondly, we ordered the Spaghetti Alle Vongole, which is the pasta with clams. But I was even more disappointed in that. The dish size was smaller than I thought. The sauce on the dish was very lacking. I barely tasted the tomato sauce. The clams itself was miniature - can be finished in minutes. There wasn't much to be filling either. Overall, I unfortunately had higher expectations that weren't met. I'm not sure if it was only that day, but I wish I had liked it better. The two dishes that we shared left us still very hungry. But the pricing was kinda high for the quality/quantity that we just opted to close out the check and order more elsewhere. read more

I had this restaurant saved primarily because of their Margherita Pizza. I first thought it was gimicky at first with all the decorations when I stepped in. But we were greater by Italian staff and it was a pleasant atmosphere. Hubs and I both ordered our own individual pizza. As stated above, I ordered the Margherita. I was taken back to our quick trip to Napoli for $5 pizza upon first bite. It tasted like heaven. Just in case you did not want to believe my review, other customers (Italians) were also raving about the food stating it was the best they've had. New York seems to do Italian well. I highly recommend checking out the restaurant! read more

They offered recommendations and checked on the table often. The decor was very very Italian. Cute, but a member of our party was taller and would run into the drapes from the ceiling when walking. The food was amazing. We got a pasta and two pizzas. The flavor was amazing and spot on. Very fresh. I would recommend this place for the Neapolitan pizzas. read more

Interesting Italian restaurant offering quality pizzas and pastas in a heavily Maradona-themed environment. I ordered the Fettuccine Nere con Gamberi ($23), which was a squid ink pasta with shrimp and tomatoes. The pasta was cooked pretty well and the shrimp were large and meaty. Other than that it was fairly standard in quality. I also ordered the Salsicce e Funghi Pizza ($20), which had mushrooms, sausage, and mozzarella. The mozzarella in particular was very good and stretchy. The other toppings were decent. My main complaint about the pizza is that the dough was a bit too thin, which also made the toppings fall off quite easily - pizza was still generally decent though. The most interesting part of this restaurant is that there is Maradona and Italy themed decor all over the place, which certainly suggests it is a very authentic and proud Italian restaurant. The staff even have shirts that say Maradona on the back. All this decor makes for a pretty nice and fun environment, coupled with the dimmed lighting for a bit of a more intimate feel, signaling that this is most definitely a proper sit-down restaurant and not just something like a sports bar. Another interesting point is that there is another Song E Napule just a few doors down on the same block - don't ask me why or how that happened. However, the other one is way noisier with loud music playing, while this one is at a far more comfortable volume level (so I prefer this one). The staff here are average friendliness. The service speed is pretty quick. Overall, if you are looking for quality pizza and pasta in a more interesting environment, then Song E Napule would be a good choice for you. read more

If you look carefully at the name it says it all: 'sing while you eat delicious food from Naples.' Across many Italian circles, this establishment is known for its authentic pizza and organized chaos-like atmosphere, reminiscent of the infamous city of Naples. Well, you'll find both to the splendid delight of many patrons (including I) when eating in this establishment. Most days of the week, I would happily eat their pizza margheria, quattro formaggi ("4 cheese") and caprese (buffala di mozzarella e pomodori) appetizer. The service is fast and efficient with minimal attitude that comes with busy Italian restaurants in the NYC area. Don't be fooled by the presence of other restaurants with this same title, many of them all have their unique taste. Their ingredients are particularly fresh, too. An example is the Caprese - the mozzarella di buffala is hard to find / all imported and yet, somehow, further elevated with drizzled basil and ripe Roma tomatoes that all add extra "oomph" into the dish. Highly recommended overall! read more

~ Diavola Pizza ~ I really like Neapolitan pizza, so I did my research and read that this place is one of the top spots for authentic ones, and people are right. It has a really nice dough, puffed up perfectly with the right amount of char under the high temperature brick oven. It has a fluffy and moist crust, and the bottom soaked up all the juices from the fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella, yum! There are a generous amount of spicy salami on top! They are not spicy, but the aromatic punch of spices and saltiness add tons of flavour and texture to the pizza. However, there are only like 3 basil on the pizza, would have liked them to add more. Will I be be back? Yes It serves good pizza and I'll be back to try their other pizzas, and even non pizza options! read more

The pizza crust here was amazing! I'm usually not a crust person, but Song E Napule has one of the lightest and most fluffy crusts that I've had in the city. I walked in on a Sunday night around 5:30pm and the place wasn't too packed (though the tables are all quite close together). My friend and I ordered the Calamari Alla Griglia and Napoletana to share. I enjoyed the calamari - it was extra smoky and the zucchini and eggplant added some much-needed veggies to a high-carb meal. The Napoletana was good, but had a bit too much cheese for my taste. The anchovies also did not elevate the pizza as much as I had expected, and instead added more salt than I would've preferred to each bite. However, the dough and crust were super standout, and I would come back for that alone. Service was relatively quick and the ambiance is overall a nice, local feel. The place is small but they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Worth a visit if you are craving Neapolitan and in the area. read more
