About this restaurant

Conceived by a Mulberry street local that was motivated to push the boundaries of a historic block that is in search of its reinvention. Gelso & Grand is situated at the iconic corner of Mulberry & Grand Street. The inviting and informal seating plan of the indoor, outdoor and private dining room boasts the marriage of modern and classic New York dining. We take pride in everything we do. We make all pastas in house, we use a wood fired brick oven for our pizzas. We are an upscale-casual restaurant serving modern Italian fare.

The food was very good and the service was fine. We ate outside since the inside was relatively noisy.

One of the worst pizzas we’ve ever had. The dough, the choice and amount of ingredients — everything was really bad. The pizza was dry. I hope they improve because the ambiance is nice.

Reasonably priced located on the streets of Little Italy and a great selection to choose from. The cheese and meat platter before the meal was to die for! Very comfortable for the family or friends that brought me back to the day of making meatballs and homemade sauce on Sunday with my grandmother as a kid in NYC.

Location is great in Little Italy. Outdoor and Indoor seating. Restaurant is contemporary. Those are the good points. Service was terrible. We did get seated right away and brought water quickly. Then it fell apart. Ordered drinks which took a while to get. Never offered bread. Never checked on us during the meal. After waiting a while after finishing our meal, offered dessert. Quickly rattled off three options. We said we needed a minute and he never came back to take our order. So we decided to just go. Again, took forever to get his attention and get our check. Menu has limited options and best for lunch for folks wanting a pizza or pasta and a glass of wine, if you can tolerate the poor service. All in all, there are so many better places to eat in New York city.
