The Corcoran GroupSeptember 20, 2013Come here when it's warm out and snag a table on the outdoor patio. The pizzas are definitely their strong suit - get the Prosciutto pizza and the Robiola. The sangria isn't too shabby either.
Halstead PropertyNovember 15, 2012Combine a classic American Thanksgiving meal with everything you love from Italian cuisine. Opt for the Papparfelle pasta w/ a ragout of turkey, chicken and duck Bolognese for the main course.
Rick ClemoJanuary 3, 2012The Houndstooth drink is both bizarre and amazing. Habanero tequila with grapefruit and lime juice. More aroma with the pepper than heat, the juices balance it out. I will be making this at home.
Ashley SobelJuly 5, 2013VERY reasonable - a liter of house wine, two entrees, and two desserts was $75. Gorgeous outdoor terrace seating with beautiful courtyard. Polite and attentive staff.
Esther ShamieJuly 10, 2014Great outdoor place for drinks and light food! Artichoke salad is delicious. Spotted Nate and Vanessa from gossip girl which added to the experience!
D VMay 31, 2013The Carpaccio is beyond excellent. Good chicken entree as well, drinks are $14+ but beers are half that. On hot nights is way cooler outside than inside.
Brooke SugovicJune 9, 2013Atmosphere is great.However, service is horrible - don't ask for anything that falls outside of what you already have on your table. Balsamic included. Will say that lobster risotto is perfection.
Dustin MoriartyMay 12, 2011If you're here for a birthday dinner, gift the bowl of chocolate ice cream. It comes with free knock-off Famous Amos cookies, delivered haphazardly 3 minutes after the ice cream.
MirkatMay 10, 2012Love the patio atmosphere. Lunch is semi privy, but whatcha expect? Had the pasta with all three meats and added mussels...best thing ever!
The pizza is awesome - particularly the white pizza with truffle oil! Plus sitting in the garden of the Maritime Hotel is very, very peaceful. (via Scoville) Read more
alpha chiMarch 29, 2014A rough understanding of neat vs. on the rocks when it came to my grand marnier, but the service came with a smile!
MorgenJuly 21, 2012Got the burrata caprese and thought some bread would be be nice. But they brought us banana bread. Mozzarella, tomatoes, basil... Banana bread. No wonder the server looked at me like a freak.
Sarah SSeptember 10, 2013Sit outside. And if its too cold to, have a glass of wine and then sit outside. Then order truffle oil on your pizzas.
Stella Raffle-WaxSeptember 15, 2012the chocolate cake is TO DIE FOR. and, it was perfect to split with my dad, do you don't feel too guilty after eating it.
Nicholas RMay 16, 2012They make my favorite cocktail and they make it well - try the elderflower cocktail and relaxxxxxxxx
Andrew CerdaApril 13, 2014The middle patio is seat yourself, order at the bar. Super casual patio drinking
Olivia BussMay 28, 2013Great for outdoor dining and Italian small plates. Pizza was good but not as good as the other options on the menu.
Elvis RodricksFebruary 5, 2013Decent place for late night dinner. Candle lit n swanky leather boots. Had a great meal n wine bottle date :)
Chris CruzAugust 1, 2012The Hostess Is A Complete Bitch Only To Complete Anus Holes Like Andy T!!! The Place Is Great & The Staff Is Wonderful & that includes The Hostess : )
Jeff WaxSeptember 15, 2012I like this outdoor space. On a beautiful evening. Food is great. Drinks too
Raj S.February 17, 2012Don't get the veal chop; somewhat underwhelming. Can't go wrong with the pizzas and the cheese and charcuterie plates to start.
Karen YuenAugust 4, 2013Grilled chicken panini is bland. On the bright side, the ciabatta is nicely crisp.
Jennifer CacaceJuly 2, 2011Great outdoor patio space, lovely food and drink. Wait staff if is a little weird but the pros for sure outweigh the cons here
Liz LawleySeptember 3, 2011The sangria bianco is delightfully refreshing on a warm summer afternoon!
Barrett BeardDecember 3, 2011Great brunch and comfortable environment. Check it out. Try the Baked Eggs.
Jacki MullisJune 8, 2010Wheat pasta is a bit chewy & lacking in flavor. But the pomodoro sauce is yummy! Love the adorable mini bottles of soda!
Lunch/Brunch food is great -- atmosphere is chill.
Get the Margarita pizza, add truffle oil for $1. Word!
Nicole SeefeldtAugust 5, 2011neva again. Although Kanye was there and the drink I had was good -- the food was way overpriced and if you're in a group they take an insane amount of gratituity and wont allow separate checks.
Amy CarothersMay 10, 2012New York City Restaurants are springing for alfresco dining this summer
Kurt WilliamsonJune 2, 2013Very non-friendly and rude service. Been here many times and today was probably my last. Brought friends and didn't make a good impression on them. Too expensive to have horrible service.
