Great pizza, perfect wine list, nice seating options.

Owner could not be nicer, let our food tour group hang out during a rain storm and they have the BEST gin and tonic, made with olive oil, that I had to go back the next day.

Perfect.

As a long time super fan of Cucina 24, I was so excited to try Contrada, and, as expected - it did not disappoint. Our server, Robertino, was a delight from the moment we walked in. The radicchio salad was one of the best salads I've ever had, and the pizzas were divine. The only thing better than eating them right out of the oven was having some leftovers for lunch the next day.

Excellent food, great atmosphere and it's a really tiny place. So don't plan on camping out. Do that at the restaurant to the left of Contrada.

My friend and I were starving after a morning hike and the pizza at Contrada not only hit the spot, but exceeded expectations. Perfectly crisp crust that was so good I didn't leave any part of it uneaten. Friendly service and a nice outdoor dining option with prime people-watching. Highly recommended!

Perfect, italian-style bar and cafe. The cocktails were great and the location is perfect for sitting and talking, dates and pretending you're in Europe.

A hidden gem, tucked away on Wall Street, Contrada was a treat. We enjoyed craft cocktails that were expertly mixed, a great selection of wines, saffron arancini that melted in our mouths, and a pizza cooked to perfection with freshest of ingredients. Spencer welcomed us in and made us feel at home.
