Piacere Restaurant – Little Italy, NYC
We had a wonderful evening at Piacere, and much of it was thanks to the outstanding service provided by Edi. He was attentive, friendly, and highly professional, making my wife, my daughter, and me feel truly welcome throughout the entire night.
Our orders included the Personal Pizza Quattro Formaggi, Personal Pizza Salsiccia e Funghi, and Taglierini Porcini e Tartufo. Every dish was exceptional, full of authentic flavor. The Kalema Primitivo Salento wine perfectly complemented our meal. For dessert, we enjoyed the Tiramisu, which is a must-try, especially when paired with Amaro Del Capo.
Piacere turned a simple family dinner into a memorable experience. Exceptional service, excellent food, and a warm atmosphere that truly captures the spirit of Little Italy. For anyone looking to have a special evening, visiting Piacere is absolutely worth it.

From the moment we walked in, the whole staff was AMAZING. Italian hospitality at is finest. We mentioned what we were in the mood for and they nailed it. Woodfired pizza with spicy sausage and cooked to perfection . The pasta was a cream sauce with crumbled sausage topped with fresh parmeasan. The tiramasu was unreal. I have had my share of fine tiramasu and this was it!!!!!!

This place surpassed my expectations. The owner and bartender were the stars of the night. Besides the immaculate customer service, the food was beyond good. Enjoyed the fresh ingredients and ambiance. The pizza was devoured on sight so no pics lol. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for food and chill vibes.

We stumbled across this pretty little gem by accident, and so glad we did. The food was incredible. Fresh ingredients, simply prepared. We ordered the orecchiette pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe and the bufalini pizza to share. Both were perfect. Especially the pizza, which was ready in less than 5 minutes and brought straight to the table from the wood-fired oven. We finished with a lovely panna cotta with mixed berry compote and fresh mint. Delicious. The wait staff was super friendly and accommodating, and I’m glad we chatted with them because we discovered that the manager, Eddie, was in the process of perfecting his own recipes for fresh fruit margaritas—mango with a Tajin rim or strawberry mint. Naturally, we had to try them. So fresh and flavorful. We love a well crafted margarita and these did not disappoint! If Eddie is there when you go, make sure to ask him for one—but when the fresh fruit puree he makes by hand is gone for the night, that’s it!

I can’t wait to come back!

Eric the bartender and Matthew really welcomed us in and made us feel right at home. We had amazing pizza, dessert, drinks and conversation. Don’t think twice about coming here: just walk right in!! 10/10

I’ve got to say, one of the best and authentically Italian places I’ve been in the US. The service was outstanding – the owner was so nice and we even had 2 kids with us. We loved the homemade pesto so much (and we order it a lot because I have a 7 year old who pretty much will eat anything as long as there’s pesto on it) that he even gave us little take aways of it. And he taught my kids some phrases in Italian. The food was amazing – perfectly thin pizza, felt like we were in Italy. Go here – you won’t regret it.

Make sure to bring cash or pay by Amex. Stopped in for a drink before the dinner rush. Really cute and cozy, exposed brick and pipes. We had the place all to ourselves for that drink and sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and when we ordered our drink, I loved that he asked, ‘are you having a double’? What a fantastic attitude lol and of course we said yes! He was kind to comp one of the doubles. Enjoyed our visit and would come back to try the food.

We had such a lovely experience at Piacere. We stopped by for a couple of drinks after our dinner and the bartender Erik greeted us with a welcoming spirit. The drinks were perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. We also enjoyed the vanilla panna cotta dessert as a sweet finale to our long day. Great neighborhood vibes and friendly relaxing environment.
