Rubirosa - New York (NY)

5 /5 MSJ: Good vibes good food. The restaurant was packed and wait time was 45 minutes but we were seated in the back near the pizza making which was better than the front. Very cozy vibes. The food was great! The pizza was so good that I ate more slices than my usual. Mushroom pasta paired perfectly with the pizza and the fried calamari was a great starter. I would definitely recommend Rubirosa if you are around the area. Prepare for a bit of wait and cramped seating, but definitely worth it for the quality of the food here. Recommend maybe a smaller party from 2~4 due to the table size limits. Great experience and willing to visit again!

5 /5 Larissa Kim: I came here with a group of coworkers (who are not gluten free) and was prepared to get a salad and was delighted when they shared an entire gluten free menu with me. Was able to their famous tie dye pizza as gluten free. It was incredible! You definitely need a reservation cause this place gets packed.

5 /5 Marilyn Villatoro: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rubirosa is pure comfort, warmth, and excellence from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance wrapped us up like being in a beloved grandma’s house — cozy, inviting, nostalgic, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you relax and feel taken care of. The service was truly exceptional. Our server, Alyssa, was warm, attentive, and wonderful, but honestly the entire team went above and beyond. You can feel how much pride they take in what they do, and that energy carries through the whole experience. And then… the food. Absolutely outstanding. We started with the fried calamari — perfectly crispy and flavorful. The Supreme pizza and Bianca pizza were both phenomenal, each bite better than the last. Even the bread was delicious (which says a lot). We finished with the tiramisu, which was rich, balanced, and the perfect ending. The espresso martinis deserve their own mention — smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, and honestly some of the best I’ve had. The ideal complement to an already incredible meal. But the moment that really sealed it? They brought out a mini pizza box filled with mini chocolate slices. Thoughtful, playful, and unforgettable. Everything was truly delectable. Rubirosa is one of those rare places that gets everything right — atmosphere, service, drinks, and food. I will absolutely be coming back, even if it’s out of my way. Highly, highly recommend.

4 /5 Kenzie Winther: When in New York you have to get pizza right… well I think they need to clarify when they say that and tell you to get Rubirosa’s pizza. Came here on a recommendation, risked the long wait, and man was it worth it. We sat at the bar and were helped by Sergio! Ordered two pizzas. One was a traditional fresco. And the other a half and half gluten free with honey pie and tie dye. The gluten free was phenomenal. They don’t make their crust in house but it is from a local establishment. The vodka sauce on their tie dye is impeccable. I loved that the crust was crispy! I devoured it all. The half and half is the way to go!!! All of that said, when in New York get pizza. But make sure it is Rubirosa’s!! Knocking it down and star because of cost- gluten free is smaller than non but still same cost if not more…
