Great Brunch! Plus our bartender & server were funny and knowledgeable. My omlette was perfection and they have Gluten free bread! (And it was good!) for all my Gluten free peeps its EVERYTHING! So cheers to Nizza!!
Blech.
My boyfriend and I stopped here late one night after seeing a show at the Broadway Theater. It was 11 pm, and knowing everywhere would soon be closed, we let a super quick Yelp search for gluten free lead us here.
The gluten free focaccia bread was by far the highlight of the meal (and the only reason we didn't leave feeling completely ripped off and led astray). I wouldn't come here again just to have it, but if I could buy some of the focaccia to take home, I definitely would. However, the oil & cheese dip it was served with was just weird.
The main food was just awful — borderline inedible. After reading such wonderful things about the soccas, I decided to be adventurous and try it. I like chick peas and I like most gluten free food attempts. This, however, was a sad, soggy pile of wanna-be dough. The massive pile of arugula on top (why…?) couldn't even mask the gross taste. It set me back on being adventurous with food at least a few months. Seriously, I felt nauseous afterwards!
If you're looking for some gluten free food post-theater, keep on walking. Even for the regular food, I have my doubts with this place's high-end pricing. And if you absolutely MUST come here, please oh please don't order a socca.
I came here on a recommendation from the concierge at my hotel. It looks fairly nice although the decor is a little out dated. I was surprised how empty the restaurant was at 6pm on a Friday night. That was my first clue that something was wrong, but it couldn't be that bad. Right?
My wife ordered a passion mule, a non alcoholic Moscow mule with passion fruit. It sounds delicious. It was just fresh passion fruit juice (I love passion fruit, but if you've ever had it fresh you know it has a very strong bite ) and ginger beer. It was barely drinkable.
The bread was decent.
I ordered the special, some kind of pasta dish, and my wife got the lasagna. Her dish was definitely better than mine, although I think a hungry man frozen lasagna meal would have been even better.
As we left (hungry) we commented that we would have been far better off eating at the Olive Garden. Who goes to New York to eat at a chain? And we can't stand the Olive Garden.
Maybe the pizza was better. I don't know nor would I care to find out.
On the positive side the service was good, the water was cold, and we didn't get sick. So I guess it wasn't the worst restaurant I've ever ate at.
Went here for my fiancé's birthday from a recommendation from a friend who'd been here previously and we were not at all disappointed!
Firstly, service was top-notch! Totally forgot to ask the server for his name but deserves huge kudos. Super attentive. The food was amazing. We had the focaccete as an appetizer, fiancé had the pansoti and I had the Sunday pasta. Both meals to die for and a very generous portion without being at all overwhelming. Had the tortofo dessert which was delicious. Along with our food we had a cocktail; fiancé had a peach Bellini martini and I had a prosecco mimosa. Both beyond delicious.
Great location on 9th avenue and right near the theater district. Had a very extensive brunch menu for any fans of brunch. Would totally recommend to anyone looking for a nice Italian restaurant.
Nizza is ok. That's the essence of it. They're fine, but nothing special. I got the pizza, wife got the sunday pasta. Both were reasonably tasty, but neither was good enough to really wow me and make me want to come back. Mostly just kinda average. There are a few other Italian places in Hell's Kitchen I'd recommend before Nizza.
The service here was very good, and the food was more than decent. It is overpriced, but it is midtown, so that is logical. I've eaten better Italian food in New York, but based on location, this is a good bet, and it's not as crazily expensive as some of the Italian places an ave over. I would come back if looking for a sit down in the vicinity.
My group ended up at Nizza for a late night bite after seeing a Broadway show. We wanted something in between a pizza shop and fine dining. Realizing that we could have a casual, sit-down pizza experience with a server, we decided to check it out.
We were told we'd only have twenty minutes. A twenty-minute wait seemed a little crazy considering there were tables open. We then realized that the kitchen was closing around midnight. As an aside, they were listed in our playbill as being open until 2:00am. They were either open until 2:00am for drinks or were false advertising.
No gripes from here on out. The focaccia bread was piping hot and beaming with rosemary. The olive oil dip had a touch of cream in it as well and was really tasty. Our group split the Charred Cauliflower pizza. It was a white pie with sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions, spinach, roasted garlic, pepper flakes and asiago. While they were looking to close-up shop, this pizza was clearly made fresh for us. I personally enjoyed the combo of toppings, but probably most enjoyed the crust. It was so light and flakey with a slight airy, doughy-ness to it.
Despite the restaurant's time-table, we certainly didn't feel rushed. I'd come back and give their menu and wine list some more time and exploration.
Um, yes. This place is amazing and yes, you have to try everything on the menu.
I've had delivery from here twice and if their delivery is this good, I can't imagine how great it is in store. I've had the meatballs, lamb sausage pizza and the quattro formaggio and everything was as amazing as it sounds. They have a delicious crust that you can taste and see, that it's made with love. They clearly use quality toppings and really put the time into making each pizza perfect. The meatballs were great, only with there was more than TWO in the order.
Food came quick and was still hot and delicious. You haven't had pizza until you've been to Nizza. Definitely give it a shot, I'll for sure be back for more.
