I enjoyed having lunch with my family, and everything was simply delightful. The arancini was absolutely delicious, especially the lamb option I chose. The shrimp pizza was quite intriguing; just a heads-up—it’s spicy, so if you’re not a fan of spicy foods, you might want to skip it.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was truly amazing – a great place to visit and definitely worth recommending. The flavors were authentic, and the overall vibe of the restaurant made our night very enjoyable.

However, the service could be improved. When interacting with the waiter, the attitude felt a bit rude, which took away from an experience that otherwise would have been excellent. Customer service is an area that needs attention, because with the quality of the food and the atmosphere here, this restaurant has the potential to reach another level.

“If ambience could talk, this place would say la dolce vita.” ✨
Went here around 10 p.m. with a friend to celebrate his birthday, and honestly — the vibes were immaculate. Dim lights, aesthetic interiors, a buzzing bar counter, and that picture-perfect Italian pizzeria feel everyone imagines when they think of pizza . The energy was high, people were in full Friday-night mode, and the place felt alive. If ambience alone decided ratings, this would be a 10/5 (sadly capped at 5 stars).
That said, great food deserves equally great hospitality — and this is where the experience dipped a little. We were seated at a clumsy, noisy table and requested another cozy spot right behind us that stayed empty for over an hour, yet we weren’t accommodated. As someone from the restaurant industry, that was genuinely disappointing. The food and drinks, however, brought things back on track
Draft beers: Super fresh, smooth, and easily one of the highlights
Pistachio Spaghetti: Nice crunch, decent flavor — solid 7/10
Truffle Mushroom Pizza: Absolutely fabulous (minus the jalapeños, which added an unexpected sour kick)
“Amazing ambience and food, but a little more warmth in service would make this place unforgettable.”
Would still recommend it for the vibe, drinks, and pizza — just hoping the customer experience matches the beauty of the space next time ✨

My two friends and I had the most lovely time enjoying brunch at Gelso & Grand. As a regular at this restaurant for dinner, I decided to give brunch a try, and I was not disappointed. The peachy froze to start was the perfect fruity way to start a meal. I ordered the crab cakes, as did one of my friends, and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of a classic brunch food at a pizza and pasta restaurant. I am not too surprised, as everything they do at Gelso and Grand, they do well. The cakes had so much crab meat in them and also some very finely chopped veggies for color, taste, and texture. They were lightly fried, so that the delicate flavor really came from the crab, and had the perfect crunch. The dish also came with a good sized side of potatoes. I sampled a piece of my other friend’s special San Gennero’s blue cheese and artichoke pizza, and loved the slight sweetness of the artichoke balanced by the pungent blue cheese, and as always, I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly doughy crust. Overall, we had a fantastic brunch experience, and are looking forward to visiting Gelso & Grand for brunch again soon!

Party of 7 with kids included enjoyed our food. Loved that they stayed open until 12am. Delicious meals and great drinks. Service staff were attentive, courteous and friendly. Would definitely go back.

The butternut squash soup portion is comically small. I ordered takeout and it was a barely half full 8 oz container for $10. Delicious soup! I was just completely shocked when I opened the bag. You tell me!

Amazing tasting food. My significant other and I decided to eat at this restaurant during the Italian feast in September. From the wine to the food everything was absolutely delicious. We sat inside as there was alot going on outside with the feast. Service was great and prompt.

Very cute and aesthetic restaurant in Little Italy. I don’t think anything was that crazy or different but the execution of everything was as good as it should be. The calamari was nice and crispy and the sauce was really delicious but deceptively spicy. The pasta was also cooked perfectly and the flavor was great. I would want to try different places to compare, but this restaurant was great. It also has a really cool speakeasy/ basement bar that looks like it would be a really fun time.
