Favorite cozy Italian spot

Piadina is my favorite local cozy Italian spot. Cozy, romantic and casual...delicious pasta, amazing buffalo mozzerella with a terrific wine list. I love to try new places but I keep coming back here.

A great cosy Italian gem

by eat_club

Is this the best Italian restaurant in NY? Probably not. But I can't afford to eat at the best. Of the rest, this is certainly the best. The staff was really kind, going out of its way to accommodate our ever-growing and unreserved group.

The wine was good but I can't tell you much more about it, as I'm usually a beer drinker, and went with the red stuff only on the advice of friends. The food was really tasty, especially the pasta dishes. I had something that means EAR-LIKE, filled with sweet and just-a-touch-of-spice sausage. It was heaven. The flan-like desert was the winner. I had a small ice cream something, served in a plastic cup. That was a boring mistake. Get the flan! (Or whatever they call the Italian version.)

Besides the plastic cup ice cream, the only drawback is their cash-only policy. I understand it, though. The prices are moderate (not cheap... but not killer), and in order to keep them that way... with such high quality... they have to avoid credit card charges.

It's a small place, so try to make a reservation. Mine got lost in the shuffle, but they still went out of their way to accommodate us.

Great place for a group to eat!

by SIobhan

I have lived in the neighbourhood for a long time and always love this restaurant.

I recently had to find a restaurant for 8 -10 people and thought this would be the place to go. They were so gracious and the food was excellent. We had such a great time and felt like we were in home instead of a busy New York restaurant!

Food poisoning

by tryeverythingonce

I used to love this place too, but I went on Friday night and two hours later I got really sick. The salad didn't look right, and I didn't eat much of it (they took it off our bill). It might have just been a one time thing, but I don't think after that experience I would go back.

Amazing little Italian place

by cakenor

Piadina is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the city. It has great food and a great atmosphere. It's a perfect place to take friends who are visiting from out of town because it's very "New York" (without all the fuss of more popular dinner spots) and it has something for everyone. We take all of our friends and we've never heard complaints!
