We went on a Tuesday evening and got in about 5:15p with no wait on the third floor. Great vibe up there. We started with the bruschetta trio and it was pretty good. Definitely not the best bruschetta I’ve ever had but still pretty solid. We then had the margherita pizza and it was really good. Nice coal-fired taste. Definitely a 5⭐️ overall experience due to the historic vibes and the good food. Service was solid too and pretty fast.
Grimaldi's sits right under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO, which already puts it in one of the better spots in New York before you even talk about the food. The red-and-white gingham tablecloths, wine bottle chandeliers, black-and-white photographs on the walls, jukebox in the corner, it all feels like it has been exactly this way for a long time, because it more or less has. The coal-fired brick oven is visible from the dining room and the pies come out with a char on the underside that gas oven
Great service and wonderful atmosphere from n the building. Love the taste of the coal fired thin crust pizza. Crust could’ve been a tad more crunchy. Overall I would recommend stopping in and grabbing a pizza for lunch or dinner.
