Cozy restaurant highlighting classic Italian cuisine, including pizza, pasta, and soup, with weekend brunches and wine Wednesdays.
"Always hopping, Nizza is dedicated to Ligurian comfort food and has many gluten-free options, presented to diners in a gluten-friendly menu. The choices include house-made bread, accompanied by full-bodied olive oil, socca, or crispy chickpea pancake topped with sage, onions, and pecorino, vegetable antipasti like the roasted honey nut squash, and more than a half-dozen corn-based pasta dishes, including the anything but basic spaghetti pomodoro." - Shivani Vora
"Hollywood actors joined screenwriters on strike last week. After 9 p.m. daily, members of either union eat for free at the Manhattan restaurant Nizza. Customers are asked to show their ID when arriving at the restaurant and can walk in or reserve a table." - Luke Fortney
"Longtime Hell’s Kitchen Italian establishment Nizza has an outdoor seating set up along its sidewalk with ceiling heaters for added warmth. Chef Sean McNorton is serving up favorites like the chicken parmigiana and a calamari pizza." - Tanay Warerkar, Eater Staff
"If the Theater District were a high school, Nizza would be the prom queen. But let’s be clear: the Theater District would not be a very cool high school. We’re talking maybe 75 students, and no one’s heard of The Clash. Still, Nizza’s got a lot going for it: good atmosphere, above-average Italian food, and even some outdoor seating. If you’re looking for a downtown restaurant in Midtown, this is the place for you. photo credit: Teddy Wolff" - Bryan Kim
