"The first time I tried to go here I had to wait for my sister to come back from a woodworking class where she built some sort of stool. She ended up staining the stool in our living room and it made the smell so strong. She said she was gonna be baxk around noon so we can go but she ended up getting back at like 130! When we got there, the kitchen literally closed after the person in front of us order. So in unlucky!! Ended up getting a coffee and a pasty but I can’t remember what it was like. So fast forward a month or so we went here again but this time left early enough around 11 to actually make it in time. First though we went to the sidecar donut shop and we thought it was closed and was shocked! But it turns out the door was heavy and we weee able to go in. Then we went to traders joe to get some ingredients but there wasn’t a way to buy a single carrot so we decided to go to alfies later instead. Once we finally get to pinwheel we were waiting in line and struggled to read the menu because my vision is kinda bad and I should consider getting lasik. The only hesitation I have is that it seems scary and I am a bit of a chicken with things going into my eyes. I was struggling on deciding behind choosing between three sandwiches of the Parisian, the Marius and Brie. Parisian seemed good but it was only ham and butter and this was the last day before my diet and I didn’t want to waste it. The Marius seemed interesting but I saw that there was olives inside but I kinda wanted tuna. The Brie also looked good but I was worried my gf was going to yell at me for eating so much cheese since my face was sensitive and it’s causing me pimples. Like there was one week where I was eating lasagna and pizza a lot and then my face started breaking out which I got in trouble for. In the ended up choosing Brie and pretended it wasn’t cheese but she noticed and said she Wander bros me and can’t blame her for it. I also saw a little puppy next to us that only wanted to lick a bluebery and didn’t actually eat. Haha what a lil dummy"

"This place continues to be one of the truly best places to eat in New York City it is actually my favorite place of all. The food is really exceptional incredibly fresh ingredients purchased at the Union Square farmer's market and various amazing purveyors on a daily basis as made clear by their Instagram chronicles. The food is utterly delicious and absolutely inspired being both truly authentically Italian and also thoughtful and innovative. The owners are virtually always there and they are incredibly warm and inviting, treating their patrons like one wonderful extended family. I will note that over the years I have witnessed the rare visitor who don't get the authenticity (they demand parmigiana on their seafood which simply is not permitted in real Italian cuisine) or who is otherwise the occasional over entitled, high maintenance attitude leaving disgruntled, but you can't please everyone. And you don't survive as a restaurant in NYC for 25 years, with the kinds of reviews that this place consistently gets without being really outstanding. I am not exaggerating to say that having moved from New York 10 years ago I literally come back to the City at least once a month to eat here. It is that good. If you have never been, ignore the outlier reviews. Come, be friendly, and enjoy Bea's brilliance in the kitchen.Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian optionsKid friendliness: My kids have been eating here since they were born.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and go out of their way to accommodate."
