The popular Italian eatery that's only a five-minute walk off the Union Square subway stop became buzzworthy after Grubstreet named their spaghetti Pomodoro one of NYC's 10 best pasta dishes, and their Neapolitan-style pizza has earned praise in numerous other publications. Ribalta is also known for the Pizza Diet—don't worry, I'll explain later—and as a hangout for big-time soccer matches.
