This has become our absolute go-to spot whenever we’re heading to Broadway for a show. Whether we’re seeing a matinee or catching an evening performance, this restaurant is perfectly located—just a short, easy walk to and from most of the major theaters. The convenience alone would make it worth a visit, but it’s the consistently great food and service that keep us coming back.
The menu is broad enough to please a variety of tastes, and we’ve never been disappointed. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty meal or something on the lighter side, there’s always a solid selection. They offer gluten-free and vegetarian options, and there are even a few vegetable-forward and salad choices for those seeking vegan fare. It’s refreshing to find a place in the Theater District that doesn’t treat dietary restrictions like an afterthought.
Service is always prompt, professional, and genuinely friendly—even when they’re busy. It’s clear the staff are used to handling pre-show crowds, and they keep things moving efficiently without making you feel rushed.
There’s plenty of seating, and they’re able to accommodate groups of various sizes without much trouble. That said, if you’re with a larger party, I’d highly recommend making a reservation in advance. While the wait is typically reasonable, especially considering the area, bigger groups may wait a bit longer during peak hours.
As for the atmosphere, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a bustling, popular spot in Midtown Manhattan: energetic, lively, and often filled with a mix of tourists and locals discussing the shows they’ve just seen or are about to see. If you’re looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, this probably isn’t the place—but if you’re in the mood to soak up the electric pre-show energy of the Broadway scene, it’s ideal.
All in all, this place strikes the perfect balance between location, quality, and value. It’s a reliable favorite that helps round out the Broadway experience in the best way possible. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Theater District.
This intimate pizzeria stands out for its carefully prepared gluten-free pizza, offering a floppy, flavorful crust that defies typical dryness and odd odors often found in gluten-free options. Despite its small size, the space includes a spacious upstairs area with air conditioning, providing a comfortable setting to enjoy a delicious gluten-free pie that captures the authentic New York pizza experience.

They are great with the gluten free pizza. They put it in its own pan and use a dedicated cutter. There is always a chance of cross contamination as it is not a dedicated facility, but their staff is and took good care of me.

It’s a restaurant inside a hotel which I didn’t realize beforehand.
The food was amazing, they have gluten free pasta. But they also had a lot of screaming children, not great service and expensive prices.
