John's, move over, Patsy's get's my vote for a great Italian style pizza in NYC. The restaurant is family friendly, moderately priced, comfortable and considering there is no carpeting, you do not need to yell at your companions to have a conversation. How did they manage that?
Their regular pizza is the star. The sauce is sweet as though every tomato in it was vine ripened. The mozzerella was fresh, rather than the aged mozzerella of typical restaurant pizzas. Together with the fresh basil leaves you have a little slice of heaven in your hands.
The dinner rolls seemed freshly baked and had the texture of a sourdough, although they were sweet. I admit that what appeared to be a little "pig face" kept distracting me, so I finished off the roll as soon as possible. If you are a meatball and spaghetti fan, you will not be disappointed by the veal meatballs; if that was beef, they fooled me completely.
The cheese ravioli with pistachio sauce was lovely and delicate in taste. They were beautifully subtle in flavor. Originally when the plate was served, I believed it was a rather small portion, but it was just the perfect amount for pasta served dressed with such a rich sauce.
