Great Place, Medocre Food. It's a shame that a place this beautiful and with a great menu has to have such mediocre food. I'm a big fan of their sister restaurant Peasant but unfortunately Apizz is missing the mark. The "apizz's" individual pizzas that are the restaurant's namesake are not very good. The crusts are not crisp enough and the toppings and sauce are uninspired and bland. The salads and other dishes were also bland. Everything was in need of a touch of salt or a bit of spice. I love the idea of their Bread being served with sides of fresh ricotta and tomato sauce but even here the sauce needs a little kick (garlic, salt, basil - something!). Too bad because the service was good enough and the place is very cozy. I'd recommend Serafina over Apizz (and I HATE Serafina!).

One Room. One Oven.
Up and coming is understating the obvious for this cozy Italian restuarant. I was told about the centerpiece, a giant brick oven,
in an about the new york grapevines and decieded to check it out. Graciously greeted by the doorman I entered this short hallway making me feel like celebrity. Hosts immediatly make eye contact, giving you a familiar experience. Rustic, elegantly warm mohagany essence fills the room. The host escorted me to our seats and we were delighty with our view of chefs preparing assisted by a massive brick oven. The food exquiste, service immaculate. another surprise was the lounge downstairs. A perfect place to get a glass of white and unwhind...Apizz hit the spot.
