Chef Roberto Caporuscio, owner of Kesté, mastered pizza-making in Naples before successfully opening pizzerias in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He brought his expertise to NYC, launching Kesté in 2009. Offering fine dining and exceptional Italian wines, it’s ideal for a relaxed date centered around pizza.
At Kesté, dietary restrictions are easily accommodated with some of NYC’s best gluten-free pizza options. Plus, almost anything on the menu. They’re also known for fried pizza, a surprisingly delicious (crispy!) treat.
Interesting thing to know.Remember the pizzaiola at Don Antonio’s pizzeria, Giorgia Caporuscio? Well she’s the daughter of Roberto Caporuscio, founder of Kesté. Making the best gluten free pizza in NYC is a family affair!
Owner Roberto Caporuscio learned the secrets to making excellent pizza in Naples before bringing his gift to America. Having previously opened successful pizzerias in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, he opted to grace the Financial District with the best Neapolitan pizza in New York City by opening Kesté in 2009.
Expect to find a long list of authentic Neapolitan pizzas and wines. Don’t sleep on the nutella pie if you have the disciple to save room for dessert. Word to the wise. Kesté runs a killer lunch deal where you can score select pies for $12, don’t sleep on the pistachio and salsiccia which is made with fresh pistachio pesto and sausage.
