Song’e Napule Upper West

I was here with my all family for a leisure to NYC. We were looking for some good Italian pizza and we found it. I ate pizza while my family had pasta. Everything was delicious. Nice and friendly personnel. We had such a good time in there that my father (an artist) even left a hand-drawn picture to the staff. If you want to eat good Italian food in NYC, that’s the place.

Probably the best lunch special on UWS. A nice choice of everything from pizza, pasta, sandwiches and more. Wood fire oven charred pizza is fabulous and could be the best on the upper west side. Cozy , nice, casual atmosphere with really good food.

Delicious Italian restaurant. The complimentary bread is a nice treat as the olive oil is the best! Fantastic cocktails. Delicious pizza!

There’s not much to say about Song’e Napule other than I’m glad they have a location on the Upper West Side. They have an excellent reputation for a reason. Their Tartufata pizza is one of the best pies I’ve ever had.

I almost ate at Song's LES location last summer, but the tropical humidity and al fresco seating sans AC made me instantly nope out. So when I happened on this UWS location one weeknight, it seemed fortuitous. It wasn't. These guys are a MESS. They are so poorly organized, it's a wonder anything gets served on time. The hostess was also taking phone orders when we arrived, and because they were so busy, we had to stand for about 20 min in the middle of the restaurant before she could seat us. Speaking of seating, it's clear Song is trying to squeeze every penny until it bleeds because all of the two-seater tables (which make up the entirety of the restaurant) were spaced no more than 3 inches apart in an effort to cram in as many diners as possible. The result is you're going to hear everything you never wanted to know about your adjacent diners' bad Hinge dates, terrible ultrasound experiences, obnoxious co-workers, and every other personal life detail possible. And they'll hear all of yours too. Don't bother trying to have a private conversation. It's too bad because the food is above average for NYC Italian--so good, in fact, that actual Italians (like, from the Motherland) frequent this place. Our Gnocchi Sorrentina was scrumptious, and both the Napoletana and Cotto E Funghi pizzas had some of the most perfectly baked crusts I've had in a long time. But I can't do the sardine experience. At that point, I might as well just go to Sardinia.

Came here for my dad's birthday. Tartufata was delicious, everything came out great. Our server also brought us some chili oil 🌶️ which goes really well with pizzas.

I tell you that I can smell this place an avenue away! When I walked on the Broadway intersection toward the Amsterdam, I spotted the luring hints of the tomato, the wheat, and fragrance of wood fired dough. Straightly came to eat pizzas, pretty nice addition to the neighborhood so I don’t have to go all the way downtown. Us four gals ordered 4 difference pizzas. The lunch specials are 15 usd per pizza, and the options include some pizza rosse and some bianche, but not any specials. They have a wood-fired stone oven, resembled the traditional pizza cooking technique in Naple. You can watch the pizzeria knead and stretch the dough and cook it in action. All pizzas are 12 inches and each are sliced into 4 pieces. That means, 4 pizzas = 16 slices spilled between us 4. For all the pizzas, the dough is light and stretchy, very airy with lots of bubbles when you open the dough. The chars on the edges are the evidence of usage of the wood-fired oven. And all pizzas came within 10 minutes of ordering! Quick and delicious! 1. The Tartufata: this one is very very filling. Very umami and truffley. Lots of prosciutto and heavy on truffle cream and truffle oil. One bite brings me out of starvation and spikes my fullness from 0% to 80% (I have been fasting for 20hrs before this). 2. Pizza Burrata: surprisingly light pizza. The burrata is light and somehow not so liquidy. Majority of the cheese holded the shape with a bit splurging of the stracciatella mixed with arugula. If I had this first, I think I can eat the whole pizza. But the truffle one was so filling lol. 3. Melanzane E Salsicce: the pizza with sausage and fried eggplant. This one tasted most familiar to me in terms of the flavor, as the sausage being the major note player. The fried eggplant on top of the pizza doesn’t resemble eggplant but rather grounded meat, however, I definitely taste eggplant once I bite into it: mushy, eggplanty, and meaty at the same time. 4. Pizza Marguerita: the only non-special one which we got at the lunch special rate. It is a classic. I didn’t have stomach for the 4th slice yet my friend who tasted it said it is light, tomatoy, and savory. The saltiness of the dough combined well with the acidity of the tomato sauce, which interplayed with the creaminess of the mozzarella. Surely a classic not to be missed if you are torn choosing between novelty flavors. We ended up having 4 slices to go, and we were very very satisfied with the quality of the food. Though eating so much carb makes me sleepy but it is Friday so who cares! And lastly, their complimentary bread and olive oil is GREAT! Quote on myself: the bread tasted like a mix between a baguette and a bagel, so much air holes with great stretchness for a chew. And the olive oil tasted amazing: definitely extra virgin olive oil.

We were lucky to be with a large group of our friends and so we got to try a variety of the food here. It did not disappoint! I came back from Milan recently and the Italian food here is just as amazing. I think my favorite with the eggplant pizza and the squid ink pasta, so hard to choose. The drinks were delicious and presentation is 10/10! Our food came out relatively quick and our waiters constantly swapped our plates and utensils with clean ones with each course. The desserts were so good I ended up combining them with each bite! This is definitely a perfect place for date night as the decor is posh and modern. I love how each location is consistent and so whatever we couldn’t try we will at the Rutherford location we normally order at. I highly recommend trying Song’E Napule if you haven’t!

I always walk past here and I've been wanting to stop in so I'm glad I came for lunch today. You can't best a $15 lunch special and the menu is extensive with a nice variety of dishes, pizzas and sandwiches. On 82nd and Amsterdam, there are always people inside and outside and as you walk by the food always looks really good. Started with complimentary bread and olive oil. Nicely toasted Italian bread that's crisp on the outside. And served with a nice high end oil. Pizza was my first choice especially when I spotted the wood-fire stone oven. All pizzas are 12 inches and sliced into 4 pieces. It's big and easily shareable. The Quattro Fromagge was a nice white Pizza with plenty of flavor and not overloaded with too much garlic. The char on the crust is proof of the wood-fired oven. My son had the Chicken Milanese. A nice thin chicken cutlet served with a salad and topped with Parmigiano Reggiano. Everything was very good. Service was nice and attentive and it's only a few blocks from my son's apartment so I know I'll be back.

Positives: My calamarata pasta special, the pulled beef with bolognese sauce, was absolutely incredible. The serving size was perfect, as it was extremely filling. If you want a perfect red sauce, this is it folks. The table bread with the house EVOO was also delicious. My wife and I shared a textbook perfect Caesar salad. The staff was very nice and appreciative of our patronage. Ambiance was typical NYC cafe with their decorations. Negatives: For a place where 1/4 of the menu is dedicated to the brick oven pizza, the pizza was pretty lacking. My wife got a vegetable pizza and the crust was slightly undercooked. The vegetables had been roasted beforehand, but their moisture still seeped through, making the pizza crust soggy and gross. Also, although the staff was very friendly, they were pretty inattentive, even though we were the only ones there for awhile (we got there right when they opened). It took forever to order our entrees. Finally, we couldn't drink before our evening began, so we ordered soft drinks, which were served by the can and $6 each. So pasta, a salad, a soggy veggie pizza and two Cokes will set you back $110.

Pizza crust is very good...thin, crispy, airy. Napoletana - Anchovy was very good. Not too salty, just the right amount of fishyness. Porcini - very very good. Light, truffle flavor but delicious. Parmigiana - eggplant was very good as well. The favorite is Napoletana with Porcini a close second.

Great italian food for a great price. We have no complaints after coming here recently for a friends birthday. All the food was great quality and the service was great too.

This place felt like an Italian McDonald's. Pasta arrived in 3 minutes, clearly not fresh. Tiny portions, overpriced, and disappointing overall. Wouldn't recommend.

Italian seafood and Neapolitan pizzas. Yummy table olive oil. Blue decor. - Their pizzas are an honest execution of the Neapolitan style: thin but chewy crust with an incredible bready flavor. Delicious when piping hot. - Octopus is everywhere on the menu, but I thought it was a little flabby. In a "salad" with potatoes, the leafy greens were overwhelmed by all the olive oil - Veal ragu was rather sweet! - We're glad it's more spacious than the Houston location, but reservations are still recommend.

Yum! Had a quick lunch here of pizza and burrata salad. It was great. The olive oil served with the bread was excellent. The pizza came out hot with a good crust and flavorful toppings. Burrata was house made with excellent parm and prosciutto. A little pricey, although it's the UWS so it wasn't too out of the ordinary for the area.

I almost ate at Song's LES location last summer, but the tropical humidity and al fresco seating sans AC made me instantly nope out. So when I happened on this UWS location one weeknight, it seemed fortuitous. It wasn't. These guys are a MESS. They are so poorly organized, it's a wonder anything gets served on time. The hostess was also taking phone orders when we arrived, and because they were so busy, we had to stand for about 20 min in the middle of the restaurant before she could seat us. Speaking of seating, it's clear Song is trying to squeeze every penny until it bleeds because all of the two-seater tables (which make up the entirety of the restaurant) were spaced no more than 3 inches apart in an effort to cram in as many diners as possible. The result is you're going to hear everything you never wanted to know about your adjacent diners' bad Hinge dates, terrible ultrasound experiences, obnoxious co-workers, and every other personal life detail possible. And they'll hear all of yours too. Don't bother trying to have a private conversation. It's too bad because the food is above average for NYC Italian--so good, in fact, that actual Italians (like, from the Motherland) frequent this place. Our Gnocchi Sorrentina was scrumptious, and both the Napoletana and Cotto E Funghi pizzas had some of the most perfectly baked crusts I've had in a long time. But I can't do the sardine experience. At that point, I might as well just go to Sardinia.

A friend recommended that we stop here on the afternoon. Very attractive restaurant inside. Very good food and service. We shared a Caesar salad and a calzone. Both were nicely made and tasty.

Much better on my next visit! Came here for lunch not knowing they have a lunch special. It's a great deal at lunch $15 for a selection of appetizers, pizzas, spaghetti, and other dishes. I tried the pizza salsiccia friarelli (white pizza with broccoli rabe and sausage). The pizza was not as flimsy this time. I enjoyed my pizza and my friends seemed to like her for cheese pizza just as much. For two pizzas and two ginger Ashe's our total bill was $43 with tax. By the time we finished eating around 1:30 all tables were taken or were booked with reservations. I have to assume this might be because it's a holiday week. The service was okay. Our waitress essentially took our order and served our food. Then another waitress cleared our table and brought our check.

FYI: Neapolitan pizza is one of my top 3 favorite foods. I dream about the Song E Napule pizza. The freshness of the ingredients, the chewy lightness of the crust, and the different plays on texture. Furthermore, Song E Napule has nailed down the consistency of their pizzas. Both their Greenwich Village and UWS locations have never let me down. My favorite is the vegetariana, though I recommend the cotto e funghi to my meat-loving pals.

Tonight I went here for the first time since it opened in the neighborhood. We needed a carb heavy meal to break Passover and I can't think of a better option. My parents and I enjoyed the food very much. Portions are good sized. Not too big that you feel too full but definitely not small. It is a smaller restaurant so I recommend making reservations like we did. The tables are right together because they try to fit in as many as they can. I sat on a couch which at first I wasn't sure about but the food made it all worth it. Will be back for sure! The bread at the start was good and the olive oil was wonderful. The salad had a ton of tomatoes and they were excellent. We kept saying that over and over. The pizza was very light and thin. Lastly the tiramisu was delicious. Yum yum!

This place is sooo close to me and I tried getting a reservation for a few nights while my mom was visiting. Finally grabbed reservations and stopped by. We had the four cheese pizza, tuna salad, calamari (my friend and mom - reviewing based on their opinion), and the pasta del nero. Calamari sauce needed to be a bit sweeter - it was too bitter for my mom and my friend. Everything else was... average? Service was really good so I did appreciate it but I'm not sure I'll be back.

For many many years, critics penning positive reviews of Upper West Side restaurants would always preface their positivity by stipulating that the UWS was, generally speaking, a dining wasteland. There was some truth to the observation, but it became less accurate and more lazy with each passing year. And as time went by, the observation also seemed to betray a certain insecurity, as if critics feared losing their street cred if they praised a UWS restaurant without tacking on a condescending disclaimer about the neighborhood's food scene. Anyway, the wasteland pejorative is rarely seen anymore, and it really would be a cringe thing to say nowadays, because the UWS of 2023 is practically overflowing with excellent eats. Some of those eats are available at entirely new, real-deal destinations, such as the Times' newly crowned best restaurant in all of NYC, Tatiana at Lincoln Center. But some of them are also available at offshoots of restaurants that started in other parts of NYC, did well and decided to open their second (or third, or fourth) location in a neighborhood that, according to critics, desperately needed more quality comestibles. During the past 10-15 years, the UWS has welcomed carbon copies of countless respected restaurants, including Legend, Crave Fishbar, Grain House, Han Dynasty, Vin Sur Vingt, Joe's Steam Rice Roll, Orwashers, The Smith, Vanessa's Dumplings, Mimi Cheng's, William Greenberg, La Pecora Bianca, Chama Mama, RedFarm, Jin Ramen, Jing Fong, Motorino, Tacombi, Le Botaniste and Felice. Song'E Napule, which got its start in the West Village, is one of the latest entrants into this category, giving UWSers a new option for Neapolitan pizza (one can never have too many such options, imo). It's been an immediate hit -- don't assume you'll be able to walk in without a wait at prime time -- and the small, boisterous space boasts a super-fun vibe. Decor is quite modern, except for the wood-burning oven, a real beauty covered in colorful ceramic tiles. The libations list is compact and interesting (don't miss the cocktails with Blue Curacao that call to mind the coast of Capri), and it offers refreshingly reasonable prices -- you can get a quality glass of Falanghina for $14, and a stiff drink for a dollar or two more. Pies are properly charred and exceptionally rich, thanks to generous toppings (including a hearty fried eggplant) and a signature swirl of cheese fondue that often adorns the pizzas. Close your eyes and you can almost imagine yourself in Italy, but make no mistake, this is really and truly the Upper West Side.

4.5 / 5.0 - One of my colleagues from Naples, who is also a Neapolitan pizza lover, highly recommended Song'e Napule. So it had been on my list and I was thrilled to discover their new location in UWS. My bf and I came here for dinner tonight and had a great experience. There was no availability online, but we decided to walk in and were fortunately able to sit at the bar. The interior had more of a lounge feel than a pizzeria, but it had nice tones of blue and a warm, welcoming feel. The staff was friendly, both upon arrival and at the bar. We ordered: - Bufalina Pizza ($23+) - Calamari Fritti ($20+) One of the things I loved about this place was that they served us bread with delicious olive oil. The calamari was good but the pizza is what I'll be back for. I love Neapolitan pizza and the Bufalina Pizza did not disappoint. There was plenty of buffalo cheese on it and the tomato sauce was on point. The dough was soft and fluffy, too. So happy with this new addition to the neighborhood!

Through my previous experience at the downtown location of Song'E Napule, their pizza already ranked as my absolute favorite in NYC. I'm so happy to say that my visit to their new UWS location reaffirmed that! They specialize in Neapolitan-style pizzas that have the most heavenly, pillowy crust. I enjoyed both a white sauce (4 Formaggi) and 2 red sauce offerings (Diavola and Bufalina), as well as an amazing zucchini pasta that was perfectly al dente. I think the bread and appetizers we got (calamari and burrata) were good, but nothing special -- or at least they were overshadowed by the fabulous pizza & pasta. This location definitely has more of an elevated vibe in terms of the interior and the service, compared with the chaotic, lively and no-frills atmosphere of the downtown location. Both are great but this was a lot more peaceful and a typical "nice dinner" vibe. It also has more space, and it was not difficult at all to reserve a table for 4 on a Saturday night. If you like Neapolitan-style pizza, then run, don't walk to Song'E Napule!!

This Italian restaurant is at the top of my list for some great pastas and pizzas! I've never had Naples style food so I didn't know what to expect, but after one visit, I'm completely hooked and recommend this place to all of my friends. I've been here multiple times now after trying out various pizzas (Diavola is the best) including the pastas! I was totally surprised by the Calzone Classico which was nothing like I've ever had as far as a calzone goes and will definitely keep that on my rotation of foods to have over and over again. Manager and staff here are fantastic and very accommodating as well! If you're in the UWS area, definitely make a pit stop to Song E Napule for some great authentic Italian food

First-ever visit was for $15 lunch "specials" - which usually implies a good value. But a $15 fried calamari serving was a stingy portion of calamari with maybe 10 small pieces supplemented by a few broken potato chips and a little bit of greens. Without the complementary bread, my partner would have been left completely hungry. An undercooked lunch-size pizza had to be redone because the ingredients were swimming on top of the bread base and even the second time around it was impossible to keep the sauce and cheese from slipping off the slice. I know Neapolitan pizza is a different animal than traditional NY pizza, but this seemed an awkward facsimile of the real deal. Maybe the pasta or sandwich deals would have made for better choices. The kicker was a 12-ounce can of Diet Coke brought to the table for a shocking five bucks. Yikes!

Got a same day Saturday res for dinner but only 5pm seating available. Im so glad we took it. This has become a popular Italian restaurant on the UWS for good reason. High notes hit on service, the decor and tableware with lots of blue accents creating a feel of being on the Amalfi coast, fantastic Neopolitan style pizza and terrific pastas at reasonable prices. Finally, I really liked the mixed crowd. Everyone welcomed.

Amazing Italian style dinner with great service, great food and good ambiance. A little loud for close conversation but that is part of the energetic vibe there!

5/5. We only got a burrata starter and margarita pizza, but if the most basic things on the menu are good, then you know it's worth coming back. Service was excellent and everything was very reasonably priced. Looking forward to my next meal here!

Great Food. They were still a little confused about seating us initially . When we arrived, there was a ton of seats (but i guess people had reserved) and they were planning to sit us at the bar. Then they told us someone else was sitting there but then we ended up sitting their anyway. Bar tender served us along with another server. Everyone was friendly. Pizza was great (Napoletena ) fresh out of the oven. The linguine Nero was excellent Broccoli rabe was also tasty Everything came out super fast Drinks are also very good there. Got to figure out how to get a reservation next time (the website doesn't work for the UWS location)

Wow wow wow! Pure perfection! Everything about this restaurant is amazing! The service is excellent and staff are so nice, respectful, and funny! They know how to give you an experience whenever you come in to dine (especially for birthdays)! We started off with the calamari, which i've never had not fried, but it was so delicious and fresh omgosh! I got the Margherita pizza as well! Perfectly baked! Finished off with the nutella pizza! Definitely will be back!

This was 10/10 for me! We got the calamari, the Nerano pasta, Diavola pizza, Pomodori pizza, and tiramisu. Everything was amazing! Our server Antonio was very helpful and had great recommendations. We also all got a spritz and they were perfectly balanced. The bread was delicious too! The tiramisu was also light and not too sweet. The people working there were majority from Napoli, and I felt the quality was on par with what I've had in Italy. I highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Very disappointed. Ordered the Cesar Salad and Eggplant Parmigiana. When ordering, I asked for anchovies on my salad, but I was told that I could not have that even though they had anchovies for their pizzas. Dressing for Cesar clearly tasted like it came out of a gallon jug, and the eggplant Parmesan was even worse. It was a bowl full of soupy tomato sauce with an overcooked mushy slice of eggplant and a little Parmesan sprinkled on top. I sent back the eggplant Parmesan. The waiter gave me attitude,. I paid for my salad and left. Bligh! I think they should stick to pizza. The pizza looked very good. Update: Wow! This restaurant's shameful response speaks volumes about their lack of integrity. My profile?!? Yes, look at my profile because you will see numerous positive reviews I have written over the years. Unfortunately, I had not read this restaurant's reviews before-hand. Clearly, I am not the first customer who were disappointed with their "Eggplant Parmesan ". But, instead of using the feedback to make their product better, it seems that now, riding high in arrogance, they are insulting their customers. Shame on you.

I've never struggled so much to write an honest review. On the one hand, the pizza is delicious, thin crust and flavorful. On the other hand, the minute we ordered, we were informed we only have one and a half hours and it put a really negative spin on the rest of our experience. Our friends felt under pressure and kept checking their watch, we felt that we were not welcomed. It really felt off. The appetizers were kind if blah. We shared the burrata, the caprese salad with mozarella, and the tuna salad. They were all kind similar, one note, and very under seasoned, I've asked for salt and balsamic vinegar and by the time it came, we were half way done. The tuna tasted like it was from a can. That's just gross. I like the velvet chairs and some of the art but really didn't have that amazing experience I'd crave and want to come back for. We wanted to try this place for a while and overall, it didn't deliver. Pecora Bianca is a better alternative for this neighborhood.

Excellent service while seated at the bar for dinner since we walked in at 7pm on a Saturday without a reservation. It was very entertaining to watch the efficiency in which the pizzas were being made and baked in the wood burning oven. The lighting was darker and the seating was intimate but casual. Sharing a Caesar Salad with bread on the house and the Cotto E Funghi Pizza between 2 people was perfect for a light dinner since we planned to have gelato for dessert at Amorino Gelato just down the street. The house bread (ciabatta?) had an interesting outer shine (instead of a dusty flour) and had nice holes though-out the bread which helped trap the flavorful olive oil that was served with the bread. The Caesar Salad was perfectly dressed and not too garlicky. The greens were crunchy and the parmesan cheese was flavorful without being salty. The crust on the pizza was the highlight. I thought the prosciutto tasted more like ham than the more cured versions that I'm used to. I would have liked more basil and the red sauce was good but I felt it needed more zing.

One of the underrated ,non social media pusher, fantastic Napolitano pizza places . First , the space is very friendly , spacious and with good acoustics (not like many NYC terrible noise makers) The start of the fried (light) calamari is a must , generous dish , done right and I will suggest to dip it in the olive oil . The pizza is REAL , excellent dough , fresh ingredients & flavorable ! Fun place on the (more spacious place than the soho one) upper west side. Highly recommended! Definitely A Destination!

For a delivery order: - Pizza Sorrentina - Pizza Parmagiana - Broccoli Rabe - Insalata Caprese $115 including delivery fees + tip I wanted to like this place, but I couldn't be more underwhelmed, and honestly a little grossed out. The Pizza Sorrentina was completely soggy and the flavors (and yes I love anchovies on pizza) did not go well. Very offputting pizza. The Pizza Parmagiana was a little more redeeming but was also super soggy. The balance of cheese / sauce / toppings was off. It was overwhelmingly cheese. The caprese was the saddest caprese I've ever had. Flavorless tomatoes (not even salted enough) with a flavorless ball of mozzarella, with little to no balsamic. The broccoli rabe was fine, but that's a side... so it brings up the score by 1 star. For the price, no thank you. I will not be ordering delivery again. Maybe dining in is another story. I'd recommend delivery from Bosino's for anything gourmet and whatever you can get delivered downtown from the staples: Joe's, Grimaldi's, or Rubirosa. Even Patsy's!

I came here for my birthday dinner with my parents and fiancé. The God of Naples really made his presence, with the Maradona mural taking up a wall. Small and colorful, the restaurant had both an elegant and playful mood. For apps, we ordered the burrata and calamari. The burrata was pretty buttery and smooth, with a sweet milky taste. The calamari was delicious except for the potato chips that tasted too bitter and burnt. I wasn't crazy about the sauce either. For dinner, my fiancé ordered the margherita pizza. My parents both got the pasta Nero with clams. I went with the veal Ravi with pappardelle pasta. The entries were all delicious but nothing new to write home. The pizza tasted like any pizza in NY, the Nero pasta was too fishy, and my ragu had more meat than pasta (making it a soupy pasta ). I wasn't crazy about the pizza, but I think they do better with it than their pastas. Overall, what won this place was their excellent service and delicious pistachio ice cream for dessert at the end . Overall rating: Ambience: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5

Food reminded me of Southern Italy. We got the spaghetti alla nerano and bufalina pizza. We sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing!

so good!!!! My boyfriend and I have been meaning to try Song e Napule. We stopped in on a Monday night and grabbed a table without an issue. The staff is so friendly. Cristina is wonderful! The food tastes authentic. I highly recommend trying a pizza- the absolute best in the neighborhood!! You will not regret it

We were so happy when Song'E Napule opened on the UWS--truly good pizza, elegant interior, reasonably priced wines (& generous pour), but appalling business practices. When we were planning our evening they refused to take reservations, under any circumstances. (They just modified this.) As a result, they had people pouring in and they couldn't control their line. We were finishing our wine, having left a generous tip, when the waiter came over and asked us to leave. This has never happened to me--or any of my friends--through decades of eating out. Napule is an upscale restaurant. It's not Domino's--tho come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Domino's doesn't ask customers to leave. An ugly end to an otherwise lovely evening.

Not my usual style pizza, I like NY/NJ/CT pizza better, but this was pretty good pizza. I think the pastas are better! Cool ambiance in the bigger and newer location. I'd come back, but many other places to go first...

The closest to eating in Napoli in New York. Best pizza here. The Maradona memorabilia is a nice touch and homage to Napoli. This should have a higher rating but it might be rated lower by some who are used to overrated New York pizza. Open a location in the upper east side!

"4 minus" It's possible our expectations were too high, or maybe we were just seduced by their great looking menu. We went for pizza (their claim to fame) but were unable to resist appetizers (insalata di polpo, carpaccio di bresaola) and mains (special gnocchi and branzino all'acqua pazza). Our server was attentive and gracious, in addition to being the genuine article - from Naples. As Italy fans, as well as soccer fans, we enjoyed the decor, although there wasn't much to absorb noise so it did get loud. Our meal was good. Not life-altering or worthy of exclamation points, just good. We lingered over our wine and dessert, it was a Saturday and although the environment was energetic, we didn't feel rushed. $215 for two of us, including tip. Will return for pizza, which is probably the way to go here.

This location aesthetically looks nicer than the Houston St location, but I was upset and shocked to find that they DO NOT have the Montanara (my favorite pizza at the other location) on the menu, so I'm docking a star. There was also a decently long wait for a table here likely due to the more limited options in the area, and the service was quite slow, so that also affects my rating. Otherwise, the food was good and the staff were nice. However, if there is no Montanara on the menu, I will not be returning to this location.

Love this place. Have tried the pizzas, pasta dishes and main courses. All good quality. Genuine Italian experience with real Italian staff. The seating is a little tight but the furniture is really high quality so it doesn't feel uncomfortable. My only suggestion is that they hire an American to proof-read the menu. The descriptions are hard to understand.

Great Italian food, the best napolitan pizza in NYC. Closest to the source and full with Italian families (it says it all)

It was such an amazing experience!Our server was Alessandro!He was so friendly & attentive.We got calamari,pizza burrata,pomodorini salad and Tiramisu! I don't even remember when was the last time I got food that delicious and fresh!I would give more stars than 5 if I could! Definitely we will be back soon

Good pizza. It's out go-to lunch place after going to the museum of natural history. They are reasonably kid friendly.

Everything about this place is delightful: the food, the presentation, the staff (Italians). The pizza is too die for. The Tiramisu' is perfect. Last night, I had a mixed salad, and even that was just right (they serve it with typical Italian condiments mixed together (oil and vinegar, salt). My dad is from that area of Italy, so I can distinguish amazing from average food from that region. This restaurant is the real deal. Plus, the staff are attentive without being invasive. Always a pleasure. We'll be back soon

It is an amazing environment. Good pizza. I will say almost perfect and real Neapolitan. To be honest song e Napule at downtown seems to be slightly better but only because the oven is still new here. However ricotta and pera is what brings you back in Naples. Service is perfect as well. Forza Napoli.

Don't go to this restaurant if you're expecting good service. The hostess will attempt to seat you in the most inconvenient areas (presumably for larger parties?) even if the restaurant is barely occupied. Complete utter nonsense and I won't have it. The food is generally good but the staff leave a lot to be desired.

The food here is incredible! Our party of 7 dined here on a Monday night, and it was a full house. We were quickly seated and given service. The complimentary bread basket they brought out was so delicious. Our party ordered calamari and meatballs to start. I loved how the calamari came with fried veggies and potatoes, which was a nice complement. The meatballs were juicy, tender and flavorful. For the mains, we ordered a variety of the pizzas and pastas. The dough is so good! It is fluffy and has such a nice chewy texture! The truffle pizza is a must! And the traditional calzone was also a favorite! I've only had the American style calzones, which I find too bready and drenched in sauce. But this Napoli style calzone was much lighter and had a good balance of sauce cheese and other ingredients. They also have an off menu cacio e pepe gnocchi! The gnocchi is stuffed with cheese and they were so soft and pillowy! This is the best gnocchi I have ever had. I highly recommend! We ended the meal with an assortment of desserts. All the desserts were light and not too sweet. The lemon cake is from Napoli, so you must try it. The panna cotta and tiramisu were also so light and delicious. If you're looking to try some authentic Italian food, you need to make a trip here.

Thrilled to have real Neopolitan pizza with fluffy outer crust and soft middle right here on the Upper West Side. The staff is fun and the pizzas heavenly. My wife and I come here regularly.

As a single diner I like this location of Song E Napule much better than the restaurant In Greenwich Village. The bar is comfortable and the bartender knows how to provide great service. Same great pizza and drinks. Nice walk from Central Park. Will return.

Thank you for a lovely evening, with delicious food and friendly atmosphere. All our food orders were excellent! Everything is first class. From the to go bags to the pizza boxes, loved the (forza) Napoli theme. We arrived later than our reservation time, parking in NYC :( We eventually landed a spot. I will remember this for my next visit which I hope is sooner than later! Nice to meet you!

My new favorite place to go with friends or family. The food was incredible and it was reasonably priced. Not to mention the atmosphere was fun and casual. My new favorite restaurant in NYC. I can't wait to go back.
