We know what you’re thinking. ‘This is a regular pizza joint!’
To the unsuspecting, it may be. But this little spot at the
corner of W.22nd and 6th Avenue is a wonderful slice of
Sicily at a reasonable price. The staff have been here for
years, and the food is robust and tasty. A lasagna plate
will get you a cut of beef lasagna dripping with sauce the
width of a hardbound dictionary. And they even grace your
dish with fresh garlic bread. The slices are decent, but the
standouts are the full-bodied entrees that have people standing
in line outside for twenty minutes at a time at lunch. Try
Maffei’s for a nice bit of Italian food with no frills but plenty
of appeal.

My buddy brought me here and they have the best grandma's pizza in the city. The pizza was not heavy nor greasy. A taste of Italy in New York. holiday park
Dined here for a business meal with a set menu which had been agreed in advance by the host. For a restaurant which was clearly of some stature I was disappointed by the quality of the food. Not bad but not of the quality I typically experience in Italian restaurants. The service too was not bad but certainly no special attention was paid to us. Our separate area was brightly lit and lacking in charm. I wouldn't be inclined to visit again.
