I have lived in the East Village for over 20 years and have seen many restaurants come & go. Three of Cups has been a consistant spot for me and my friends to go to for many years, since the early 90"s. The food is classic Italian at a super price with really great pizza's from their wood burning oven and yummy oversized pasta dishes. the decor is cute with lots of brick, wood and candle light creating a laid back atmosphere. Most welcoming of all are the staff and owners who are always accomadating and attentive. I really love it here and I think most people will as well. Thank you Three of Cups!!!

not the worst but close.....

Went for mother's day with family....blah. The place was empty so we didn't notice any bad service like the other reviewers. They sat us by an open door with a draft. Had to move tables. The food was equivalent to a bad diner. The menu has an ambitious selection that the kitchen can't live up to. Pizza was adequate but not for the price. Bread was supposed to be hot but it was served to us cold and stale. The potatoes that came as side dishes were stale like they were cooked a few days ago. I think they were someone else's leftover's. It was so bad that if I were drunk I wouldn't have enjoyed this meal. Stay away. One good thing to say.... there was one really cute waitress... might go back to see her again.
