Master Critic Review

Ribalta 8.6
East Village
A Neapolitan-focused pizzeria with a big, lively dining room and a dough program led by veterans of NYC’s Neapolitan scene. The cornicione is airy and char-kissed, and the kitchen keeps pasta and antipasti at a reliably high level for groups or pre-theater dinners.
Must-Try Dishes: Margherita Verace, Diavola Pizza, Calamari & Fritto Misto
