I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to try Pipa, but if you live in NYC give it a go. The hostess was condescending and the waiter was somewhat absent and unaccomodating (sure, we made a reservation to sit outside but when I asked to be moved indoors after I heard thunder he didn't even try to make it happen, giving me a blank stare and a shrug when I asked what we would do if it rained). It wasn't horrendously expensive- between the four of us we ordered 4 tapas and a pitcher of sangria, and it came to about $25 per person inclusing the tip. Then again, I don't typically eat a whole lot so the smallish portions may not do it for some. I'd go back just for the mushroom or vegetable flatbread though- they were delicious!
Pros: Good food
Cons: rude service
