Rubirosa New York City

Rubirosa, hands down the best Italian restaurant in NYC, holds a special place in my culinary heart. Whenever I'm in the city, a visit to Rubirosa is not just a suggestion; it's a mandatory stop. I've even gone to the extent of planning entire trips around the anticipation of savoring what I consider the best pizza in the world – the Tie-dye pizza. Now, getting a reservation at Rubirosa can be a bit like scoring a golden ticket. It's a testament to its popularity and the exceptional culinary experience it offers. While reservations might be tough to secure, the perseverance is well rewarded. In the instances where I couldn't secure a reservation, I've happily opted for the waitlist. The wait, which can extend up to three hours, may seem daunting, but let me assure you – it's absolutely worth it. The Tie-dye pizza, a true masterpiece, consistently exceeds expectations. The harmonious blend of flavors, top-notch ingredients like the creamy vodka sauce and the amazing finishing pesto and the super crispy crust creates an unforgettable dining experience. The staff's attentiveness further adds to the charm, making Rubirosa not just a restaurant but a culinary destination. If you find yourself in the fortunate position of snagging a reservation or are willing to brave the wait, Rubirosa is a culinary adventure that promises to elevate your appreciation of Italian cuisine to new heights.
