Ribalta - Broad Channel

This might be the worst restaurant I’ve eaten at in NY. From the service to the food. Just horrible. We were forced to put our entire order in at once and of course it wasn't coursed correctly. It took 30 mins to get our drinks. Eggplant appetizer was mushy and grimy. The branzino was beyond fishy and not fresh, over oiled. I sent it back and the waiter didn’t ask me if I wanted anything else. Proper etiquette would be to ask if I wanted something else. However I would have declined because everything on the table was terrible. He just rolled his eyes and took my plate. The cacio pepe was inedible. The worst I have ever had. Truffles were old and not fresh, had no flavor. Spaghetti was under seasoned and blah. Wait staff was terrible. I’m not sure how this place has the reviews but has? Maybe we should have gotten the pizza? There are so many other great restaurants in the city. If you do not want pizza, don’t go here.

This place is a hidden gem. Their food is spot on, solid quality and reasonably priced for NYC. I recommend the DOC pizza which has a chewy Neapolitan dough crust.

The pizza was pretty good but I’ve had better options in NYC. Worth a try though.

Had pizza and salad, extremely good. Service was great, very attentive. Atmosphere was a little on the louder side, the place was busy. But overall a great experience.

Real Italian food style Dietary restrictions: very good pizza and dessert
