This is my hands down favorite pizza. They have gluten free pies and beef pepperoni!! I travel down here sometimes just for the pizza. And if you know the R train it's not generally worth taking unless this pizza is at the other end.

This place was Awesome! The guys were so personable with me & my son who were wearing Bills gear! My daughter loved their gluten free pizza. We are in Bay Ridge all the time and are sorry we didn’t come here sooner!

My experience from making a reservation, the staff, food presentation, desserts was EXCEPTIONAL! Let’s start here. THE SPECIALS. Read them. Fantastic! If they don’t spark for you, go with the signature dishes, shrimp and beans. Penne with the escarole and breadcrumbs. (If you want gluten free - TELL THEM) the grilled chicken marinade with string beans or broccoli rape. WHATEVER. THERE IS NEVER A BAD MEAL THERE. Desserts. Afogato! A MUST. Tiramisu. Beautiful. The drinks….Amazing. Thank you GINOS FAMILY!

This place is spectacular. Even when it’s busy, it doesn’t feel too crowded. I love sharing food with my family here, and there’s a wide variety to choose from for various dietary preferences. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options are clearly labeled, as well as items containing dairy, nuts, and wheat. Definitely a crowd-pleaser! If you like coffee, make sure to try the Arabic coffee - you won’t regret it!

Had a wonderful and flavorful dinner. The food was fresh and prepared with care. The chicken adobo is highly recommended. The service was friendly and accommodating. I especially recommend Aleli for anyone who has celiac disease and needs gluten free options. Look forward to enjoying another dinner at Aleli.

I’ve loved everything I’ve ever ordered here as all the food is delicious but the brunch is TO DIE FOR. And with the healthy options you never leave feeling guilty about your meal. Trust me, order the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on Brazilian cheese bread and you’ll never want in another way again. I love how there are so many gluten free and vegan options. I highly recommend.

We had a birthday party on Saturday and it was wonderful. Peter was extremely attentive to all our needs. He took a photo of the table arrangement and sent it to me to make sure that was how I wanted it. The food was delicious and the servers were excellent. If you ever need to do a party I highly recommend having it here. We had gluten free guests and they had many choices for them

This diner is a diamond in the rough, walking by along 5th you could easily walk right by it. I went there yesterday (my kids love going w their Grandad so suggested the place) I figured why not? It was literally 100 degrees out and we were able to walk right in, nice AC, service was SUPER quick and the staff were awesome, my kids got dinner I got a brunch dish and I suffer from celiac so told the kitchen contamination cannot happen (and sometimes restaurants try but still contaminate w gluten by accident) I had 0 issues here and I'm super sensitive. You could just tell by how the food came out that the kitchen is CLEAN on point (you could see them making it pretty much & the food was super fresh, got an omelet w tons of fresh veggies very good 👌 3 people for dinner was 45$, can't go wrong. Will for sure be back, we were like the only table there, super quiet, private and relaxing.

Love this diner in bay ridge located on 80th & 5th. From the outside you wouldn't think there's as many tables as there are. I brought my kids there on the 4th (yesterday/ also a Sunday) & we got a table right away, AC was blasting, the tables were wiped down properly & our silverware was brought to us after we sat, our server was friendly & quick, we got our food withing 20 mins of ordering & it was super hot & fresh. Was able to order 3 brunch & lunch meals + drinks for 60$ (and we dined in/this is including the tip) *Also worthy to note, I have celiac and can't have gluten, I relayed this to my server who ensured my meal wasn't cooked w the gluten items and I had NO reaction 👌 very much appreciated.

Wow! This is a new'ish established restaurant and a must-visit spot to quench your Yemeni food cravings. The food is authentic and fresh, leaving you wishing you could try every single dish. Portions are very generous. The rashoosh is freshly baked and served straight out of the oven, the warm intoxicating aroma will make you want to devour this as soon as it reaches the table - gluten allergies be damned. The Shafoot herb yogurt dish is refreshing and light, and the lahooh is delightfully fluffy. The lamb liver dish is also exceptional. The Adeni (Chai) tea tastes heavenly as if blessed by the tea gods. The service is exceptional - patient and welcoming servers make you feel right at home with typical warm Yemeni hospitality.

Great pizza spot with gluten free and vegan options! Cool decor, live music a few nights a week and a great patio when the weather is nice.
