Rubirosa Ristorante

For anyone who utters skepticism about going to Little Italy for dinner, thinking it might be too old school, Rubirosa will upend that perception. The dark, happening dining room is perpetually packed so plan accordingly. Pizzas are thin crust and offer toppings like vodka sauce and pesto or sausage, roasted garlic and broccoli rabe. Sit back and sip Italian wine and nibble on fried calamari and mini rice balls until the pizza comes, confident you’re in the right place.
