Pizzuto's

I have Mexican tastebuds and I’m always looking for food that actually tastes like the natural ingredients. Pleasantly surprised by their pesto pastas (left no crumbs behind!). The ambiance is a bit on the dark side but music sets the vibe. Overall, it’s giving family-owned business with kitchen staff who knows what they are doing.

A Seward Park gem! Pizzuto's Cafe has a welcoming, friendly, and attentive staff. The house rolls are from heaven, I ordered Linguini con Vongole (steamed clams), which was perfectly seasoned with herbs, garlic, and white wine in clam broth over linguini. The clams were petite and sweet. Don't miss the homemade, melt in your mouth, NY Cheesecake. Creamy, rich, and the right balance of tang. Enough for 2. Can't wait to return!

Been coming here for 30 years, I think. While it isn't quite what it used to be under the original ownership family (pandemic, maybe?), it is STILL delicious and wonderful. Great, local, neighborhood eatery. The Italian food here is NOT the same, cookie-cutter, Americanized food you can find in every other chain out there. Uniquely spectacular. ALWAYS get the salad with rogueforte dressing. Amazing! The pizzas are thin crust and delicious. The pastas are all fabulous.
