DOUGH by Licastri Silver Lake — Restaurant in New York

Unimpressed by the food wait times and the quality of the gluten free crust. I have been here twice on a Friday evening when it was fairly quiet around 4pm, and both times I ordered regular chicken Parmesan with gluten free pizza. Both times also, the GF pizza would come out first whilst the chicken Parmesan wouldn’t for another 10 mins or so. I forgot the exact time but I am a slow eater and had gotten through 3/4 my pizza before the chicken Parmesan arrived. They really need to time the delivery of the food better. I would understand if it was just but both the times I had gone I was one of 3 tables max.

In terms of the GF crust- good intentions in terms of how thin it is but they need to prevent the texture of it. It was completely hard like a cracker and did not taste like a pizza crust all. Also lacked seasoning. If you’re familiar with BarDough (Manhattan) or Patrizias (SI), it’s similar to theirs but they weren’t able to deliver the correct texture or flavor like those aforementioned places were.

5 stars for customer service and decor: all employees were incredibly hospitable, patient, attentive and welcoming throughout the experience. They make you feel very appreciated and do their best to ensure you had a good experience. The restaurant itself is also very pretty, modern and clean, with a beautiful bar with outdoor space in front. It is a local spot for me so I was really hoping I’d...

If you’re looking for a dining experience that feels like a warm embrace, look no further than Dough by Licastri! My husband and I discovered this gem after meeting the charming Mario, the manager, one night in New York City. He spoke so passionately about his restaurant that we couldn’t resist taking a ferry ride to Staten Island, a place we’d never been before.

From the moment we arrived, Mario welcomed us with open arms, making us feel like part of his family. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was nothing short of spectacular. Mario suggested some incredible pizzas and dishes that truly lived up to their reputation. Each plate was beautifully presented, bursting with fresh flavors and high-quality ingredients.

And let’s not forget the drinks! Mario crafted some stunning cocktails that perfectly complemented our meal. His attention to detail and genuine care for each guest really set this place apart. The entire staff was friendly and attentive, contributing to an unforgettable dining experience.

We can't recommend Dough by Licastri enough. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by—you...

Stepping into this Italian restaurant felt like entering a little piece of heaven. From the soft, inviting glow of the ambiance to the warm smiles that greeted us, it was clear this place was something special. The atmosphere had a charm. The food, oh the food! Each bite was pure perfection. The pizza was a masterpiece – the perfect blend of crispy crust and melting, flavorful toppings. The oysters were so fresh, they tasted like a kiss from the sea. And paired with a glass of their exquisite wine, every moment felt like a celebration of life. What made the evening even more magical were the people – not just the wonderful staff who made sure every detail was perfect, but the energy of the place, full of laughter and joy. It was one of those nights that stays with you long after it’s over. If you’re looking for more than just a meal, but an experience filled with warmth, beauty, and unforgettable flavors, this is the place to be. We left with full hearts and can’t...
