The butternut squash ravioli is AWESOME and the head waiter is great. It's a bit expensive, but the food is so good it's almost worth it.

Their butternut squash raviloi is one of the best meals I've had in the city. The flatbread pizza appetizers are delicious.

After hearing great things about Apizz I finally got the chance to try it. It lived up to all of the expectations. The restaurant is very nice, great atmosphere. There is plenty of room between tables so you're not right on top of your neighbors. The food was delicious. The polenta was the best that I've had outside of Rome. Everything else was great too. I only wish that the courses were spaced better to allow more time to enjoy everything. Other than that it was perfection!

The atmosphere was lovely even though we didn't get to sit in the main dinning room. We sat in the bar area which was nice ( very similar decor at the bar as the orchard, a restaurant by the same owners). After digesting the entire experience of dining there last night, here's what I'm left with. The most enjoyable part of the meal was the bread and ricotta they brought at the beginning. I the "crispy prosciutto with pears and nut" as an appetizer, recommended by our waitress. Here's the thing: prosciutto is already perfect, it doesn't need to be baked or whatever they did to make it crispy which in my opinion sucked out the flavor. And the combination with the pears and nuts, meh. Second, I'd read great reviews for the wild boar lasagna, and since I've been going through a lasagna phase this was my clear choice. It was a nice try on their part and in theory it would have made a great and different kind of lasagna than traditional lasagna mostly because the beef component (boar) is shredded beef as opposed to ground (after yesterday I conclude that I prefer ground). In any case this could have been a great lasagna but I wouldn't really know because any flavor this had was completely masked by the ridiculous amount of salt it had. It was sooo damn salty I probably had 3 glasses of water while I was eating and couldn't even finish it. I could tell there was potential, but honestly to over salt is a mistake that shouldn't be happening at a restaurant of this caliber. Not with all the amazing Italian restaurants in NY. I tried my sisters mushroom polenta appetizer and it was just good. My boyfriends gambero appetizer of shrimps and chorizo was good but I thought the amount of oil that they floated in was unnecessary, I didn't try his veal tagliatelle, or my sisters ravioli (she said they where ok, and has had better) or my brother in laws gnochi (he seemed to like them but there were no ohhhs and ahhs). I'd really like to give it another shot but I highly doubt it. There are many Italian places on the list to try and many that I already love, to go back to apizz and spend 20+ on a lasagna and a high price on food that for New York standard was just ok going on mediocre. Our server was just as meh as the food. Our bus boy who kept bringing bread rocked.

I first had wild boar in Italy many years ago and was very excited to see it on a menu in New York. The wild boar lasagna at Apizz was absolutely delicious! I could have eaten an entire bowl of their red sauce--talk about a taste explosion! I'm not sure what another reviewer is talking about with the bread. We were served deliciously crusty bread with fresh ricotta and tomato sauce and were not charged for it. A really wonderful meal, well worth the splurge.

Went here on a date 2 Fridays ago. Had no problem getting table for 2 at 8pm. We had to wait at the small bar for about 5-6 minutes then were promptly seated. The atmosphere is great though a bit loud. The food is awesome to say the least. We had the Ravioli with Butternut Squash and the Gnocchi with Short Ribs and both were prepared to perfection and tasted incredibly. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. The bread with sauce and ricotta cheese is also tremendous. I have been told by numerous friends that the Meatballs stuffed with Ricotta and covered in red sauce are ridiculously good. I highly recommend for a date or just a nice meal out.

We loved this restaurant, from the food, to the decor, to the good service. Unfortunately, they surprised us at the end of the meal with the bill, which included a $10 charge for bread, something we didn't ask for. It was an unfair charge and left a bad taste in the mouth. And that's sad because the food was splendid. I can honestly say that I've tasted a more delicious polenta. The ravioli were magical, I think I could eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also had the meatballs, which went above and beyond, such amazing flavor. The dessert, bread pudding, was OK, nothing to rave about. But the bread, ugh...I'd so go back but the bread...really?
