Authentic Neapolitan pizza from a Naples original, perfect for dates.
Will Hartman reviews L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele, a West Village spot praised for its casual date night vibe and authentic Neapolitan pizzas, highlighting their thin crust and flavorful Margherita.
This West Village gem brings a taste of Naples to New York, with an original location dating back to 1870. It offers a casual yet vibrant atmosphere perfect for date nights, complete with upbeat music and a lively Italian vibe. Their 15-inch Neapolitan pizzas are cooked in an imported brick oven, with the Margherita receiving particular acclaim for its fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. Beyond pizza, they also offer appetizers and desserts, making it a well-rounded Italian dining experience.
The restaurant is highly praised for its authentic Neapolitan pizzas, with many customers specifically recommending the Margherita for its balanced flavors. While the pizzas are larger than average, the thin crust is noted. Appetizers like Fritto Misto and desserts such as Polenta Cake are also mentioned, though with less enthusiastic reviews.
"The Margherita pizza is highly recommended for its fresh ingredients and balanced flavor profile. The Fritto Misto appetizer is also noted as a decent choice."
Customers generally have a positive sentiment towards the restaurant, frequently recommending it for its authentic Neapolitan pizza and enjoyable atmosphere. It's often cited as a great spot for dates and gatherings.
Important Note
The pizza crust, while thin, might be less chewy and lack sourdough flavor compared to other Neapolitan spots, and heavier toppings can make it floppy.
