Ortomare Ristorante Pizzeria

"We were a party of 6 two adults and 4 teens. We wanted a place off the beaten path and can get good food at a decent price. This place did not disappoint at all. It has a quaint European style with an NYC feel. The service staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. We ordered 3 appetizers the meat balls and fried calamari was delicious. The pizza were brick oven my only suggestion if you like a crisper crust ask them to keep it longer. We are planning on going back."

"We had a delightful family dinner at Ortomare. The service was exceptional, welcoming, and attentive, which was a big plus for us with kids. The food was top-notch - the Margherita pizza, made in the visible fire oven, was a hit. The spinach salad with olive oil, balsamic dressing, and goat cheese was a flavor explosion. The sage ravioli was a standout, with a noticeable taste of sage that was a real treat. We capped off the evening with the amazing chocolate lava cake and vanilla gelato. And we can't forget to mention their excellent selection of Italian wines. Definitely worth a try."

"Small and cozy Italian restaurant on UWS. Had a lovely time there and our staffs were really nice. I enjoyed my main course (homemade fettuccine with bolognese sauce) but I think the appetizer calamari could be crispier & the sauce could be more flavorful. The salad was just ok. Pricing is on the higher side."

"A memorable first experience. Very well prepared food and attentive service. We wouldn't hesitate to return."

"What took us so long to visit this restaurant! It is small with a lovely indoor seating area, but we opted to eat outside. The outside area is small, but on lovely nights it is nice to have the light breeze. We ordered 2 pizzas (The Diavola and The Norcina) and they tasted so good. Wood burning fire place just makes the difference. The red pizza sauce has great flavour, and the pizza crust was great! Near the centre of the pizza it is a lot softer, but did not bother me at all. The pasta bolognaise was also delicious. They do not skimp on the meat or flavour like other places. And the pasta was cooked ever so slightly above al dente. They also bring fresh parmesan and fresh pepper table side in case you want some. We also had the panna cotta for dessert with a drizzle of caramel. A light dessert to end the meal. My only suggestions would be (if I am being picky) 1. The bread, although fresh, you can tell it was sliced and sitting out a bit 2. The spices oil for the pizza was clogged so nothing really came out, and what did was very bland. Definitely still worth the stars! A very enjoyable evening and meal!"
