Mediterraneo

I absolutely love going to Mediterraneo! My go-to order is the gluten-free margherita pizza (the crust is extra crispy) and a fresh salad — the perfect combo. The vongole is also amazing!!! This family-owned gem is a true neighborhood treasure. Melania is the warmest, most welcoming presence, she gives the best hugs. It truly feels like walking into your favorite aunt’s home for dinner. Places like this are what give the Upper East Side its charm and sense of community. Can’t wait to return!

Do you not under any circumstance eat here if you have any sort of food allergy and or our health conscious at all of gluten or dairy etc… The menu is not the full story of how they cook the food most of it is roasted and then fried.They do not offer much substitution, and they are very shortstaffed. Their resolve for any issues is another drink as someone who lives in the neighborhood and is always looking for good restaurants to take my family. This is not one of them.

The food here is stunning and only surpassed by Melania who works at the bar and is the wife of the owner who is a caring and wonderful gem of a person (I’m going to book reiki with her!!). The gluten free pizza is the best in manhattan - go and enjoy, I’m so glad I stumbled into this place tonight!
