Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a pie and some laughs

What People Say

Visitors love the friendly staff and say the space feels like an authentic slice of New York. Many mention that it's a great place to grab a bite without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Areas for Improvement

The space is on the small side, so larger groups may need to plan for tight quarters or wait for a table during peak hours. Also, there’s no formal dress code, which is great for comfort but might not suit those looking for a more upscale pre-show dinner.
