Ribalta

This was a great pizza spot for lunch. It had a great atmosphere and was both large and clean. We were traveling with someone who was celiac and saw in a number of reviews that many people with celiac dined her successfully. When we arrived and saw on the menu that there could be cross contamination we were a little worried but due to the reviews gave it a try. The person who was in our party noted she was celiac so the waiter explained which pizzas she cookie get (the personal sized ones) due to the electric oven they used for the larger ones. I watched them as they got ready to cut and serve the pizza and saw them wash the pizza cutter and place on gloves before cutting the gluten free pizza and the person in our party who is extremely sensitive with gluten had no issues. I would dine confidently with celiac here as long as you make it clear to them. They definitely try their best to not cross contaminate and I think they wording on the menu is more just to cover themselves. Pizza was good all around.

Little Italy in the middle of Manhattan, staff are friendly. Parma pizza is my fav

Not sure about their world ranking of top 50 in the world, I have had better Neapolitan pizza than Ribalta, but it is a good Neapolitan pizza and certainly worth the visit. The wine list is also ok and is priced fairly.

Que experiência fantástica! Comida espetacular, atendimento nota 10, ambiente agradável e muita Itália no meio de Manhattan! Pra repetir sempre! Show!

I came here on a double date and thankfully we had a reservation. We had a table by the bar so there was def a lot of foot traffic. We ordered a bottle of red wine from their pretty extensive wine list. I ordered the Truffle Gnocci pasta and it was soOOoOO delicious! I'm aware that they are known for their Neopolitan pizza, but I was def feeling more pasta vibes and they did not disappoint. By the time we ordered our checks there was a line out the door and almost looked impossible to make it through the crowd to exit (very chaotic!) When we were literally signing our checks another waiter (not the one who served our table) came by to inform us that they needed to seat other parties. I am aware that most establishments prefer patrons to dine for 90-120 minutes and due to the efficient service we were closing in on about 60-75 mins of dining time. This was completely unprofessional in my opinion as we were literally signing our checks to leave so I wish he had been more situationally aware to notice that we were preparing to leave Ribalta. Between this encounter and the lack of managing the chaotic front line properly I have decided that Ribalta is overhype. If one ever *has* to visit then I recommend making a reservation and preferably not go close to dinner time, but for me and my house -- we are good on Ribalta!
