   Life-long New Yorker found pizza heaven at Gjelina. And you can’t beat the atmosphere at this picture-perfect spot on Bond. Cannot recommend more highly.

   The staff is so welcoming and friendly and the pizzas and salads are very good. Love the feeling of the space- edgy but soothing with the minimally adorned walls. Love everything about Gjelina.

   I had a great time here! Was continuously awed by each dish, cocktail, and glass of wine. Ambiance was chic and fun. Highly recommend!

   I had a great birthday celebration lunch! Transported me back to the LA location! Service was very attentive.

   Martinis were fantastic! Mezcal Negroni was very good. Mushroom toast is a pile of very juicy mushrooms on toast — mushrooms just make the toast soggy and the pile is too high to eat. Flavors and ingredients are great, but this shouldn’t be a menu item to eat in public. Broccolini was overly sweet for my taste, but that’s personal. Spinach salad was fine, but also a required more slicing than any salad I’ve ever eaten. Flavors were quite good. Cacio e Pepe had no perceptible amount of pepper and an odd taste. Would not recommend, or they should rename the item. Onion pizza was good, but not a standout. I arrived on time and was told my table wasn’t ready, which is fine. It was raining, so at first I just stood there, because there was no where else to go. Hostess then said I could stand in the archway in the middle of the restaurant. This is awkward. The archway is just slightly too far from the bar, and also right in front of where the registers are, so it’s not conducive for approaching the bar from the side to order drinks without disturbing diners at the bar. Everyone was standing awkwardly in this archway trying to figure out who to order a drink from. The dining setup at the bar is too formal to feel appropriate to order drinks over their shoulders while standing. Somehow this seems easier in just about every other restaurant. If you’re going to be an overly expensive and busy restaurant, you need a setup for people to drink while waiting. Once seated, service was great. Overall, a shame because the drinks were so good. Entire bar and kitchen counter should be for walk-ins only. Reserving counter seats that are practically in the kitchen with kitchen levels of brightness was not what a date night reservation should be.

   Great all around, food and service are both top notch, vegetables take top billings. Room is very loud and the Resturant had four separate areas (front and back, first and second. Floor) - bar on the 2nd floor would be my go to.

    Way too noisy. Had to move table to a less noisy. Still way too noisy. Fussy kitchen. Asked for sesame seeds to be removed from my salad. Kitchen wouldn't comply. Their rules. Fussy.
