The outdoor seating was a perfect setting tonight. A nice breeze coming thru, you could hear music from battery park, it was a great start to the experience. Then our waiter was great. He gave us time with the menu, then answered our questions and offered recommendations.The hard rolls and tapenade were great while we waited for our food. The food was spot in to what I would imagine for a place like this. My daughter couldn't finish her ravioli while I struggled to finish the Fettuccine. My wife ordered the Calaprese pizza and was very satisfied.My wife had the Mezcal margarita, while I had the spicy margarita( their names escape me). They were both very good. This would be my only area of complaint, not enough to give a lower rating, it took a while for the cocktails to come out. We would have certainly each had a second, but those carried us thru the meal.All in all, it was very good, and we will stop back next time we are in the financial district.

Between the food and ambiance of the people who frequent the pizzabar, I couldn’t tell what I enjoyed more. Leaning towards the food because it comes in large portions and I wound up taking leftovers home. The service was also attentive and helpful, while I struggled with deciding what to get.Thinly cut fries on top of Chicken Parm had not crossed my mind until now. It’s been a few weeks and I can’t stop thinking about how delicious it was. Also got the beet salad which I devoured instantly.Pro tip: heat it up in the airfryer to get the ideal textural component all around.

Very good pizzas one of the best in NYC to be honest very good salads and soups also

Despite the location, the restaurant does not feel like a tourist trap. Food was very good - the ragu was meaty, tagliatelle was cooked well, the pizza was well made and well cooked. The bianca sauce was hearty with a great balance of cheese and mushroom flavours.Service was great too!

We had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. Despite arriving without a reservation and having two baby strollers in tow, we were seated quickly and comfortably, which was a big plus. The staff was kind and accommodating, though not particularly detailed when it came to explaining the menu.The food was decent overall—pizzas were especially good, with a nice crust and flavorful toppings, and the pasta dishes were tasty and satisfying.One of the highlights was the patio seating, which offers great views of the city skyline, including a clear sightline to the World Trade Center. It’s a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a meal, especially on a nice day.
