A hidden gem of Nolita, this neighborhood favorite is frequented by celebrities, yet surprisingly falls short of the celebrity price tag. With meals costing between $10 and $28, your time at Rubirosa will be well spent in every sense. The only draw back of this Italian ristorante can be the crowds of people who flock to Rubirosa for their favorite meal downtown. At busy times, there can be a wait for tables and entrees so bookings are strongly recommended. Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, Rubirosa also offers their own version of happy hour – welcome to Pizza Hour! Pizza is available by the slice or pie every day from 4-5pm, what a perfect opportunity to try your favorite flavors! You’ll find Rubirosa at 235 Mulberry Street, and it is a downtown delight not to be missed!
