In 1985 Sebastian and Tony Lazzara opened Lazzara's Pizza and Cafˆ©, located at 221 West 38th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues. Those in the know in the Garment District are aware that Lazzara's serves the best pizza in the area, with a delicate sauce that has a delightful blend of fresh tangy tomatoes with just a touch of sweet undertones and a light hint of basil.

The two brothers recently expanded Lazzara's hours of operation to include dinner service. The newly added wine menu offers a small but encompassing list of complimentary Italian favorites many from Tuscany, which compliments the restaurant's cuisine. Lazzara's location near Times Square particularly lends itself for after theatre diners who desire a cozy but not pretentious atmosphere and genuine traditional southern Italian cuisine. A private party was recently held to commemorate the restaurants new expanded dinner and wine menu.

One particular specialty on the new menu is Ravioli Pesce, Lobster and Ricotta filled ravioli in a baby shrimp marinara sauce. The fine Scarbolo Pinot Grigio would be a nice accompaniment to this dish. However, Lazzara's still offers one of the most eclectic array of pizza toppings available in the West side of Mid-Town Manhattan. You can order everything from the traditional Pepperoni and sun-dried tomatoes to grilled eggplant and clams.
