GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY DINNER

slightly modified menus also available for Lunch & Brunch

ABOUT OUR GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY MENU
Our GLUTEN FREE FRIENDLY menu has been a welcomed blessing to our gluten free patrons since it was first introduced over a decade ago. Our GF pastas are made with corn flour, and our GF Pizza is made with an imported Italian Gluten Free flour. While we work very hard to keep all of our gluten free guests safe, Nizza is not solely a gluten free restaurant and there is always a risk of cross contamination.

Very disappointing. Service was trash. We were in NYC for the weekend and hoped for a nice night out with our family of four. We had a reservation booked, though we arrived five minutes late due to snow/icy weather. Our server Alonso appeared too busy to serve our table; we had to rush to order and our plates were cleared before we finished. The food was just fine, mediocre. We would have spent more and ordered drinks and desserts but our server didn’t ask. We were told after less an hour at our table that the next guests were waiting for the table. Plates picked up before food gone. This was our worst experience out in the city ever!

Nizza is one of our absolute favorite Italian restaurants in all of NYC. The entire experience there is always fantastic. We're not typically into going out on Valentine's Day but when we saw the prix fixe menu they were offering at such an amazing price we couldn't resist booking a table and it did not disappoint at all. We started out by ordering a fabulous bottle of wine and both of our appetizers were fantastic...we especially loved the mushroom risotto, then our entrees were equally fabulous. My wife loves their Branzino and she gets it all the time because it's perfectly cooked and the flavors are phenomenal so she decided to order it last night as well. I got the Lasagna which is typically only available on Thursday nights so I was VERY HAPPY to have Nizza's incredible Lasagna for Valentine's dinner. It's been a while since I had it because we haven't been able to go on a Thursday night and it was as good as I remember. It's a thick hearty Lasagna with the most fabulous flavors and a perfectly luscious Bechamel sauce mixed with the most exquisite Italian tomato flavor. Finally we finished with their unbelievable Tiramisu and the lemon ricotta cheesecake perfectly paired with Nizza's awesome espresso martinis (although we always have them made without the simple syrup because the mix of vanilla vodka with their espresso is just perfection)...both desserts and drinks were exceptional. Nizza's Tiramisu is one of the best anywhere in NYC so it's a must have whenever we go. We're sooo happy we decided to book last night and now we may have to go every year for Valentine's Day at Nizza with that spectacular menu and service. By the way, if you're lucky to get Gus who was our server he's awesome....He's served us a number of times before and he's a fantastic server. Although, everyone who works at Nizza is wonderful. The whole night was a 10 out of 10!!!

Nizza is our GO-TO before theater spot. The service is always refreshingly professional and warm, the gluten free menu is especially appreciated and delicious. Thank you, Nizza for keeping up your quality over the years!

Low-key and homey neighborhood find. We had delicious Caesar Salad, Arugula Salad, Branzino, and the Pappardelle Bolognese of the day. We also took advantage of one of their $24 Wednesday wine bottle! Excellent service.

This is one of my very favorite restaurants in NYC. It’s also special to me professionally. I “interview” playwrights and directors here when I’m looking for a new project. Great food and service, bright and sunny vibe.

Nizza is conveniently located near the theater district. It was a 5 minute walk to Majestic Theater. We were promptly seated upon arrival and our host recognized that it was my daughter’s birthday. The service was very good and the food excellent. This was restaurant week so we ordered off of the pre-fixed menu. The portions were perfect and the pasta extremely fresh. We also had salmon and steak that was cooked just as ordered. We definitely plan to return.

Wanted somewhere close to the theatre but not one of the typical tourist traps! Saw the reviews and immediately knew to book! It was just perfect. Great food and very reasonable prices. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends looking for an authentic Italian.
