Reviews for Rubirosa in New York, NY
This place sits up there not just as my favorite Italian restaurant in the city, but maybe THE favorite out of all the cuisines.... The tie-dye pizza is to die for. It’s a perfect combination of tomato, vodka, and pesto sauce on top of a perfectly cooked andcrispy pie. Literally it is amazing and I dream about it. I tried the baked clams the last time I went and wow. I didn’t thinkI liked clams but I like Rubirosa clams. The bread to start might be the softest bread in Manhattan. We also tried the melonsalad on the specials menu and it was incredible. This is a MUST hit if you’re visiting. Read more
Amazing tomato sauce and over all flavor of the pizza! The gluten free crust was thin and crunchy, so if that’s what you like... this is for you! The size was very large! The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy but lively. The staff were friendly and fast!Menu mentioned it would take extra time to bake the gluten free pizza but it took no time at all (I was there around 4pm). Read more
I can’t say enough good things about this place! Traditional Italian food in a lively (not sleepy) atmosphere with great... service. We sat at the bar and everyone was so nice! The melon salad (special), the two pastas and pizza were all excellent. Thewine pours are GENEROUS! Worth all the hype - go now! Read more
This place has become the most favorite pizza in NYC. I ordered Tie-Dry Pizza and Black and white tagliatelle pasta. I love... thin crust pizza, the green sauce is pesto and fresh mozzarella. It’s so amazing. I also love the pasta. The flavor is good. Read more
Always on a wait FOR GOOD REASON! We didn't make a reservation, but they always have the bar and a couple tables for walk-ins.... The hostess and server were both exceptionally friendly. The meatballs were excellent, as were their special garlic knots. Thepizza we had was world-class; I especially enjoyed that it wasn't too cheesey. The pizza was delicate and balanced. The wine wassmooth and pure! I even had an opportunity to speak with the manager and he was great vibes. Read more
You must try the honey pie pizza it is surprisingly amazing. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The crust is so... thin but still crispy. Best to make a reservation so that you aren’t waiting long for a seat. Read more
Great food! The pizza is unique, thin and crispy. The seafood was good, but some mussels were frozen - you could tell from the... taste. Amazing meatballs! Come in earlier or later to avoid the long lines. Great for a casual date! Read more
Amazing Italian food with a great gluten free selection. My table tried a few things and we can tell you that you can't go wrong... with anything you order! Definitely make a reservation if you can. We came pretty early in the day and still had a 1.5 hourwait as a walk-in party. It's worth the wait, but still would be better to skip the wait if possible Read more
