        "text": "On the last night of our vacation, my husband and I had the pleasure of eating dinner here. Our visit was memorable because of the exceptional service, attentive waitstaff, and outstanding pizza.\nWe arrived to a bustling dining room but decided to sit in their outdoor area. This walled space is comfortable and inviting, allowing guests to feel like they are removed from the street while eating. They also allow dogs in this area but cannot provide a water bowl, so owners should have one on hand.\nThe menu is plentiful with all pizzas available with gluten free dough. What felt like within minutes of ordering, our two pizzas arrived fresh from the ovens. I'm always skeptical of gluten free pizza doughs but Kesté has surpassed all expectations. Their dough was crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and each bite was thoroughly satisfying.\nBefore asking, the waitstaff were there to refill a drink or provide a napkin but never hovered or were overbearing in any way. Their attentiveness and anticipation of every guests' need heightened the service, elevating our dining experience.\nI HIGHLY recommend enjoying a meal at this restaurant, especially for people with Celiac disease. I cannot wait to visit again when in the area and will take advantage of their online ordering.",

        "text": "Kesté Pizza e Vino truly delivers on its reputation for perfect Neapolitan pizza – the crust, flavors, and quality of ingredients are all outstanding. The restaurant has a warm, positive atmosphere that immediately puts you in a good mood, making it a wonderful spot to enjoy authentic Italian food.\n\nOne small area of improvement would be the space near the restroom door. The line can feel a bit distracting for guests seated right beside it, taking away from the otherwise flawless dining experience. A simple reorganization or thoughtful decoration to “hide” that area would make the ambiance even better.\n\nOverall, Kesté remains a must-visit for pizza lovers who want to experience Neapolitan pizza at its best.",

        "text": "This restaurant is truly Italian authentic flavors, a real Italian atmosphere, and top-quality ingredients straight from Italy. The food was excellent, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. Living in New York, it’s rare to find a place that stays so true to Italian traditions. Thank you, Roberto, for the warm welcome and wonderful hospitality! We can’t wait to come back!",

This place was recommended by my company’s sales executive and you know how they are ;) lol we ordered red sangrias and 4 pizzas, all cut in 6 pieces, and it was delicious! The pizza didn’t feel too heavy either like in the sauce or in the cheese or too greasy either. We all devoured it as it was so good! Would highly recommend this place to anyone!",

        "text": "Crust, Heat, and a Price Tag\n\nKeste, in a quiet corner of Lower Manhattan, delivers smoky, wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas in a rustic, tightly packed space. We came specifically for their dedicated gluten-free, celiac-safe oven—a rare and welcome feature in NYC—and it was reassuring to see the care they take in handling dietary needs.\n\nThe pizzas themselves have character: thick, chewy crusts with that signature char, fresh cheese, and well-balanced toppings that let each flavor come through without overwhelming. The Capricciosa, the namesake Keste, and a classic calzone were all satisfying. A glass of Cabernet paired nicely—once it arrived.\n\nWe also ordered the artichoke salad, which was small, heavy on Parmesan, and light on actual artichoke. Bright citrus and mint gave it lift, but it didn’t quite come together.\n\nService was polite and fast to take our order, but there was a long wait for both food and drinks. Despite AC units, the dining room was hot and close, and the rustic furniture is looking worn.\n\nOur total came to $146 for two, including tip—a bit steep for pizza, but we were hungry and it hit the spot. Was it worth the trip? Yes—for the gluten-free safety and the smoky, satisfying pies. But in a city full of standout pizza joints, Keste feels more like a box to check than a go-to.\n\n#KesteNYC #GlutenFreePizza #CeliacFriendlyNYC #NeapolitanPizza #LowerManhattanEats #WoodFiredCrust #NYCPizzaScene #PizzaReview #RusticEats",
