Spot for a holiday party, pizza, salad and appetizers and they kept the drinks coming quickly, which was nice. A little tight and low ceiling being in the lower area of the building (so watch the steps down). Service was friendly and they had a number of staffers assisting with taking orders.Pizza was ok; thin crust, hand-made for the wood fired oven meant some slices were a little burnt, others were very good. Pesto pizza was good; honey pie lacked enough spice. Not too far away from Union Square so easy to hop by.

Follia is an intimate spot in Gramercy. I came by with a party of 6. We started off with drinks and apps - truffle polenta and crostini. Then we ordered the shaved Brussels salad, truffle fries, two pizzas - the pesto and hot honey - as well as the eggplant parm and cacio e Pepe. My favorite was the eggplant part and truffle polenta. Overall the food wasn't bad but have also had better.

Staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Very accommodating as well. The restaurant itself is cute, there's indoor and outdoor seating which is nice in the warmer weather. Fries and eggplant caponata were good. Eggplant was REALLY REALLY good. I'm not sure why it wasn't served with bread or anything, outside of the complimentary bread they give you. So ask for more! The pizza looks great but it was painfully underwhelming. Not much flavor. A let down. Overall it was alright. I didn't find the menu to be too exciting and unfortunately had mixed feelings about the food.

This is a really solid local neighborhood spot with a great happy hour! Their oysters were delicious, meatballs are great, and I absolutely love their Margherita pizza--which is really thin crust/light with great quality ingredients. The peach bread pudding is also delicious and not too sweet. Their service is always great too; nice staff and quick/efficient.

Maybe it was because we went during sunset with the limited menu, but I was not a huge fan. I tried the New York Style pizza which tasted fine but I've had better at local pizza spots.

service is great . food over pricedStaff really doesn't connect with neighborhood folks

If I were rating on food alone, I'd probably go with three stars - it's fine, nothing especially noteworthy in either direction.The burrata crostini was okay, but honestly tasted like something I could easily make at home. My spaghetti dish was nice, with al dente spaghetti and a pretty good sauce.But Follia gets an extra star because the prices are pretty darn competitive, the service was great, and the space is really nice. The menu is a good $5-10 less per entree than what I've seen at similar restaurants.Come for the nice ambiance and some people watching along 3rd Ave. Just don't expect the best meal of your life.

Paula was our waitress - she was great!!! Great private room for parties. We had a bachelorette dinner there with a prefix menu

Great Happy Hour on weekdays keeps me coming back for more.Great prices, great food, nice crowd, and great waiting staff make this a treasure in my neighborhood.
