Top Italian restaurants in Brooklyn, United States

A lovely and memorable night! We planned a small wedding dinner with Faun and everything from start to finish was seamless — from planning the pre-fix menu and creatively working with my family’s dietary needs to the amazing and thoughtful service. The food was so good my family is still talking about it days later. The patio space was the perfect backdrop for our dinner and created a cozy and intimate atmosphere for my family to socialize ☺️ I only wish we took more photos of the food but you can’t go wrong with any dish!

A huge thank you again to the staff for making this a night to remember and I would highly recommend for anything from a date to a group dinner 💕

From the moment I placed my catering order with Da Nonna Rosa for my baby shower, I was met with impeccable service that made my special day all the more memorable. Handling my requests with the utmost flexibility, they accommodated several adjustments to my order without hesitation. On the day of the event, punctuality was at its finest; the food was delivered right on schedule, steaming hot and ready to be savored.

The portion sizes were generous, striking the perfect balance for our guests, who were delighted by the hearty servings. Each dish was a hit, but the meat lasagna and veggie lasagna, in particular, stood out with their rich flavors and comforting, home-cooked feel. The chicken parmesan was another crowd-pleaser, with its perfectly breaded exterior and succulent chicken. The freshness of the salad provided a crisp, light counterpoint to the hearty mains, and the garlic bread was the epitome of garlicky, buttery perfection, serving as the ideal complement to our Italian feast.

I would heartily recommend Da Nonna Rosa to anyone in search of top-notch Italian catering. Their dedication to quality and service has firmly established them as my go-to choice for any future events. Whether you're organizing a small gathering or a large celebration, Da Nonna Rosa's catering is sure to leave your guests with a delightful taste of Italy.

I have never had such a poor experience dining as I did tonight at Faun. We were excited to come back as we’ve been here before & loved the menu but after tonight we will not be returning.

Our waitress seemed unhappy to be serving us from the moment she greeted us as if we were inconveniencing her by being there. She walked away from us multiple times while we were still speaking trying to place our orders, & would stand around by the POS system directly in front of our table paying us no mind.

Our appetizer arrived before our drinks which wasn’t really an issue but when she brought over our drinks she literally placed them on top of our stacked menus & walked away. We finally had a waitress who could see that we were visibly unhappy come over & take our order. For the rest of our meal another waitress took over to which at the end, she just placed our credit card slip down on the table without saying a single word & walked away which seemed very passive aggressive.

I don’t know if this person has never served tables before or maybe we don’t look like we have a lot of money but we dine out very frequently & have never experienced anything like this. We say please & thank you, & always tip 20% or more (even when service is this poor) so when we’re paying to dine out the service doesn’t have to be amazing but I think it’s fair to at least expect that it wont be this poor.

After looking at the reviews, there are many other negative reviews stating similar experiences so this seems to be a common trend when you dine with Faun. For the same price point or less, you can dine at many other restaurants in Brooklyn that have waitstaff that will treat you astronomically better.

In response to management, we only came back for the food. Our service previously was still pretty absent just not outright abominable. The food last night was very lack luster as the risotto tasted like I was biting into a lemon, I did not care to mention it in the review as it felt beside the point after receiving such terrible service. Thanks.

Worth the hype. The service was quick, they accommodated us without a reservation thankfully but I’d suggest making one as it’s a very small restaurant. It was my first time trying rabbit and they made my experience so enjoyable. The flavors were perfect for the type of meat, it wasn’t overwhelming nor underdone, just perfect. We also had the duck ravioli which was also great but the portion could have been a little bigger. Wine selection was amazing, overall would recommend if need to Barclays.

Absolutely beautiful from start to finish. The service was perfect along with every dish we had. It brought me back to Italy with the amazing flavors and fresh ingredients mixed to perfection.

The pasta is so dense, it definitely feels more than a meal. The taste wasn't particularly the best compared to other local Italian spots. The dessert was pleasant.

Not sure you could make worse tasting food on the professional level. Tasted the different dishes we got several times and could not decide which one we received was worse! Paying $30 per meal and not getting anything resembling an acceptable well cooked dish at a place that claims to be authentic southern Italian is straight up disconcerting. Please don’t make the same mistake we did and go literally anywhere else for either a far better product or a far better value. Da Nonna Rosa is just flat out worthless.

I photographed Elisa and Radu's beautiful wedding this past weekend here. I highly recommend it! It has a great backyard area for the ceremony and I love the outside and inside options for the reception. The food is amazing! and I love a venue that takes care of the vendors. The branzino dish was one of the best vendor meals I've had!

Texture of home made pasta was great! Flavors were balanced between the delicious sausage and various cheeses. The sandwich bread is pizza dough from the next door slice joint with amazing texture!

Although the restaurant was relatively empty, it took forever for us to be seated and even longer for a waiter to see us. Other tables who were seated after us were served first. I ordered octopus, normally something I love, and it was actually inedible: slimy and wet, and barely enough for an entree if I had it in me to keep going. Not to mention is wasn’t cheap. We left hungry and unimpressed.

This place is a hidden gem. I have been here on 2 separate occasions brunch and dinner. The food and service is absolutely on point. The drinks are amazing as well. I will definitely be back and recommend to all you will not regret

Great place in Brooklyn at Clinton Hill. On weekends they have extensive brunch menu.

Very attentive and friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Has both indoor and outdoor dining options.

Good food! Perfectly cooked pasta!

Might not be the best option for family with kids. But highly recommend this restaurant!

Small portion, foods taste okay. When we sit down, there was a cockroach on the wall and then flew to the table. But the manager took care of it. Anyway, we don't regret to go there.

Food very tasty. Will return. Only downside was the reason I stopped there was a sign for a 2 course lunch for $25. The waiter couldn't find the lunch menu and said it was online if I wanted to check there. Kind of wierd. Over all very good food, but not inexpensive. It's appropriate for the neighborhood though.

lovely food, cocktails and atmosphere! maybe don’t sit in the patio in the summer cause mosquitos are quite bad. recommend the burrata, Brussels sprouts with the pomegranate sauce, the black pasta and the banana cocktail.

This place has evolved over the years and the pasta and variety on the menu are simply delicious.

Pasta is made fresh along with traditional add on and local in house specialties. I forgot the name of what we ordered, but the food was just as delicious as the pictures.

Kid friendly, whelk chair accessible and a neighborhood gem.

A beautiful dining experience! Everything was wonderful from the food & drinks, to the ambience and service. Won’t recommend any particular dishes because honestly everything we tried was delicious! They have a mix of semi-outdoor, indoor, bar, and patio seating and the ambience is perfect for an intimate dinner with friends or even a date night.

Convivium Osteria is definitely great. You are transported to an italian antique house upon entering the restaurant. The service was a little confusing at times, but very professional and courteous. The highilights of my meal were definitely the sweet ravioli with peking duck ragu and the rabbit with polenta. Both dishes are so unique and well done. Two of my favorite italian dishes in NYC so far. Would definitely recommend.

Nice background music you could talk over. Very generous and beautifully presented cheese and cured meat appetizer for 2. Decent reasonably priced wine list. Ravioli with lemon zest was delicious, and my husband loved the linguinie with clams. No tipping required but we left something for the nice service. Would definitely go again.

Fantastic food. Friendly service. Cozy setting. Love this neighborhood restaurant. The peach salad was delicious as was the bolognese. They accommodated my friend’s request for gluten free pasta. The outdoor seating is good but little stuffy.

An absolutely delightful experience if you’re looking for Italian. They played live music (Thursday night) and the ambience and atmosphere was top notch. The food was incredibly tasty and the balsamic vinegar sampler was exquisite.

Great small restaurant right by Prospect Park. Would definitely go again. If you're thinking about trying the focaccia, do it! I recommend the pork shoulder ragu 👌 also shout out to the server who ran after us because we forgot a backpack there

We had an absolutely excellent meal at Fausto from start to finish. The little gem (wow!) and arancini starters were both absolutely excellent, with the focaccia only a slight notch below those two. All of the pastas were great with the Campanelle as the best we ordered. And the panna cotta dessert was very good. Excellent service, good atmosphere, and we would definitely return.

Cute place for date or dinner with friend.
The food was good but overpriced.
If you like natural wines then you will enjoy their wine menu.
We went on a Friday and service was very slow bc the staff was super busy.

5/5 ⭐️ experience at Pasta Louise for date night! Amazing quality-price ratio. The cacio e pepe and pasta with tomato were delicious, the ambiance was perfect, and the waitstress and all other staff were impecable. The hostess kindly messaged me to ask for my preference for dinner knowing it was a special ocassion, and the waitress gifted us a delicious banana bread for dessert for our anniversary. There were affordable pasta options, including a great 9-10 happy hour deal for the caccio e pepe when eating at the bar. Will definetly be coming again! 😊

We had a birthday celebration today and our waiter Allan was so helpful and had a charming vibe very welcoming . He went above and beyond and put together a birthday song for my fiancée with the cake and candle of course . Also thank you to the staff as a whole they all checked on us the whole time . We didn’t need to ask for much at all , so attentive and kind. The food was TOO good . Hard to put into words. Nothing short of perfection . So fresh you can taste every ingredient individually . This is the second time coming here and it just gets better and better you won’t be disappointed coming here for authentic Italian cuisine . Wonderful .

Lovely place, the staff was fantastic. She asked about allergies and made sure it was taken care of. Atmosphere outside was sweet and romantic. Food was delicious. Love to come again!

We recently moved to the neighborhood and have stopped by for an after dinner ice cream from the outdoor ice cream stand a couple of times and have wanted to try the restaurant. We went for brunch on a Sunday and it was top notch. The decor and atmosphere were great, as was the service, and the food was off the charts. Try the lemon scone!!! We were also treated to great music that was just our jam. Our server was amazing - yes, this is worth mentioning twice ;-) This is going to become a fast favorite and go-to for us. Can’t wait to try dinner!

When I was invited to try this restaurant I was so happy. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a super cute restaurant. I sat with my friend, and Philp was serving us along with others. They were excellent! I started with the vodka martini, and it was just ok. We then got a bunch of different plates. My favorite was the salmon tartare and the chicken parm! I also really enjoyed the muffin and whipped cream. The food was so flavorful! I truly enjoyed myself!

We were fortunate enough to eat in the garden with perfect weather. Everything was delicious, portions were large.

Their brunch is AMAZING. They also have a ton of outdoor seating that's really nice.

Food was excellent! You can definitely taste that the pasta was freshly made. Our table ordered different dishes and was able to share with everyone on the table (of four). Parking can be a hassle, but if you come on the right time (6-7pm), you should be able to find one right away. The place is beautiful, also!

Highly recommended place! If you love pasta, this is a place to definitely hit up! 😋

Just a tip: Tuesdays is long pasta day.

We came here for a last minute dinner and was able to be seated right away. I got the Cacio e Pepe and my hubby got the lamb sugo along with the whipped ricotta with fennel bread and everything was delicious. The servings are on the smaller size so my hubby was still hungry lol

This place was so good, I forgot to take a photo of my meal and the ambiance. I literally inhaled my black bass meal 😩 The customer service was also amazing! My husband and I will revisit again soon. I’ll try to get a picture the next time around for y’all 😅 I took this photo from their Instagram page. Follow them on insta for meal ideas.

This neighborhood restaurant is an absolute hidden gem and truly a special place in the culinary world. Upon entering, I was welcomed by a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance. The warm lighting, tasteful décor and attentive staff instantly put me at ease and set the tone for an amazing night. The ambiance was only outshined by the star of the show …the FOOD! Each dish was prepared with love and bursting with flavors that can awaken even the most dormant taste buds. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and you could taste the attention to detail in every mouthwatering bite. Each dish I tasted was better than the next and left me craving more. If you're seeking a gastronomic adventure that will leave a lasting impression, don't miss the opportunity to visit this extraordinary establishment. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Had a great dinner here with very fresh and yummy pasta. The seats were a bit tight but the decor is nice and service was good too. Another great find in the neighborhood!

Get the gnocchi. I repeat: GET THE GNOCCHI. It is like a pillow and defies sense how good it is. Why it is not mentioned here amply in reviews has sent my faith in Google Reviews plummeting. This makes no sense. Who knows the CEO?

I absolutely love this place! The food is incredibly delicious! My favorites include the steak and the heirloom tomato salad. Also, on their dinner menu, they offer short rib appetizers which taste amazing! Additionally, they serve a wonderful non-alcoholic Negroni that isn't too sweet, which is perfect!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Osteria Brooklyn, and I must say it was an extraordinary culinary experience. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting ambiance that set the tone for a memorable evening.
To start, I savored the Fettuccine Osteria, which was a delightful combination of perfectly cooked pasta coated in a rich and creamy sauce. The flavors were balanced and the dish was a true testament to the chef's expertise.
Next up was the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, a classic Italian dish that Osteria Brooklyn executed flawlessly. The al dente pasta tossed in a simple yet flavorful combination of pecorino cheese and black pepper left me craving for more.
The Tagliata Di Manzo, a succulent beef dish, was the highlight of the evening. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy, and served with a delectable array of roasted vegetables. It was a harmonious blend of flavors that left me thoroughly satisfied.
Of course, a visit to an Italian restaurant would be incomplete without trying their pizza. The Pizza Margherita at Osteria Brooklyn did not disappoint. The thin and crispy crust topped with fresh tomatoes, basil, and gooey mozzarella cheese was an absolute delight for the taste buds.
To complement the meal, I indulged in a glass of Pinot Noir, which was expertly paired with the dishes I ordered. The wine selection at Osteria Brooklyn is impressive, catering to various preferences and enhancing the overall dining experience.
For the grand finale, I treated myself to the Gelato Vaniglia for dessert, Tiramisu and their famous Meringa cake. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!
Throughout the evening, the attentive and knowledgeable staff at Osteria Brooklyn provided impeccable service, ensuring that every aspect of my dining experience was top-notch. Their passion for food and commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction.
In conclusion, Osteria Brooklyn exceeded my expectations with its delectable cuisine, charming atmosphere, and exceptional service. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or simply a delightful culinary adventure, Osteria Brooklyn is a must-visit destination. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience.

Thank you Chef Rafaelle

Your new customer from Miami!

OMG this place blew my mind. The seafood squid ink pasta was to die for; perfectly coated Al dente noodles with sweet, fresh shrimp - I can’t wait to come back for this!

Definitely one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a restaurant! Puts all the neighboring Italian restaurants to shame and I say this as friendly as I can.

The desserts are equally good. Highly recommend their homemade tiramisu.

Excellent service, the young woman with short blonde hair is a gem, so friendly and knows exactly what to recommend. The ambiance is homey and elegant — perfect for a date :)

Will definitely be back!!

Updating from 4 to 5 after coming here multiple times and receiving great service and food!

Solid italian spot. Their personal pizzas are good value. Chicken alfredo lasagna was good, but not great (the chicken lacked flavor)

Disastrous Dining Experience - Not Worth 4,5 Stars

Oh boy, where do I even begin?.....
I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've encountered in my 15 years of exploring restaurants in NY.

Now, I must clarify that the food was indeed fresh and delicious, though the portions were a bit on the small side. The saving grace was the charming garden backyard, which made it a perfect setting for a romantic date.

However, the service was a complete disaster. We waited an excruciatingly long hour for our food to arrive, and our main waiter seemed uninterested, sporting a permanent frown throughout our time there. I had to remind them multiple times to bring us the menus, which was quite frustrating.

Despite the lackluster service, I decided to leave a 15% tip, which I considered generous given the subpar experience. But that's when things took a turn for the worse. One of the restaurant staff, I'm not sure if it was a waiter or the chef, had the audacity to confront me in front of my date about the "ONLY" 15% tip I left. He claimed that the minimum tip should be 18%, which I found outrageous.

At that moment, I regretted even leaving the 15% tip and wanted to take it back. It's absolutely unacceptable to approach a customer and demand more money, especially in front of their companion. It was a low blow and left a bitter taste in my mouth.

To the management, I want to clarify that tips are not granted just to pay a "minimum" 18% service fee. For 18% service charge, the service should be ABSALUTLY AMAZING. It's evident that your staff lacks proper training in hospitality, and they should understand what good service truly means before expecting higher tips.

As a customer, I believe in showing appreciation for good service, but this experience left me feeling cheated and unappreciated. Your waitstaff should be grateful for every penny they receive from customers, not make demands and shame them for not meeting arbitrary tipping standards.

In conclusion, while the food and ambiance were pleasant, the appalling service and audacious behavior of your staff have forever tainted my impression of your establishment. It's disheartening to witness such unprofessionalism in an otherwise promising venue. I hope you take this feedback seriously and address the pressing issues in your service department to prevent others from enduring the same regrettable experience.

Delightful and delicious. A great verity of seating options, the backyard and garden tables are pleasant and preferred on nice days if you can get them. The suasuage Cavatelli pasta was perfectly cooked - rich and delicious. It paired well with the perfectly balanced and acidic fennel salad. Ricotta and honey is skippable. The red wine prunes were just OK, not fully realized.

Service was friendly but not overbearing, maybe to a fault, but it's a busy place.

Will return.

Came in with friends who highly recommended the restaurant. We had a great time. Staff is friendly and service was very quick. Food and wine are great and very reasonably priced for NYC. I will certainly be coming back next time I am in Brooklyn! lol

Pasta Louise was amazing. The walk to the restaurant was serene. The waitstaff were all pleasant and attentive, our own waiter, Aaron, went above and beyond to explain everything without being pushy or condescending. He made us feel welcome. The vibe inside was very chill but not you busy. The food was top-notch. The pastas and the tiramisu were fantastic. Next time I'm in Brooklyn, I'll head back for sure.

We came here for brunch!! Christopher was our waiter and he was so helpful and nice. The food was unreal we couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the bread was. We will definitely come back for dinner!

One of my favorite neighborhood pizza spots in NYC! My husband and I were regulars for years and we ended up hiring Da Nonna for our wedding catering. I couldn't have been happier with that choice! The team went above and beyond to accommodate our vision and the food was excellent. Can't say enough good things about this family business.

The food was really good! Everybody was very happy with what they order. I had pasta limone, Mac and cheese and tiramisu (which it was super delicious the best one I had in a long time). I like the decor, the space is big and our waitress was super friendly! Can’t wait to come back!

Really nice date night spot for wine and pasta.

Start with some house made Vermouth and maybe have the spritz offering. All wines are natural and priced accordingly.

Really enjoyed the Artichoke Crostini and the bruschetta. The tomatoes were extremely fresh and were some of the reddest I have seen.

Many fresh pasta options. I would recommend either the meat or boar Ragu with pappardelle.

Creative dessert options or you can go to their gelato shop next door which is outstanding as well!

Attractive room, lovely staff, nice wines, but the food was a miss.

Did you ever feel like "they" were trying too hard to make the dish more interesting or nouveau? This food menu is the poster child of that .

Lest start from the beginning...
Great room. The decor and finishes are very smart looking. Not smart as in intelligence but in neat, clean, simple but highly designed,... just a very handsome room.

The professional service with a smile is stellar. From hello to goodbye, every person who works there is informed, gracious, and operates with elegance.

Nice drink/wine list. Some interesting and odd choices, but a very simple yet well-rounded menu for a wide range of pallets.
They even offered to let us taste a few before choosing and insisted on a fresh glass when the decision was made. And the stemware itself is beautiful, as were the actual dishes.

On to the food...
I don't know.... something is off. All of the ingredients seemed fresh. All beautifully prepared and presented...just the tastes.

The cauliflower appetizer was very tasty but a little dry...needed something a little creamy with it, or perhaps warm... but it was considered a cold dish so obviously not warm...but it needed something I did like it very much, which is great because it was the only thing I ate all night.

We were a table of 4 and all tasted each other's dishes... the Arnacini was ok-ish. The sauce was just acid, the ball was basically just cheap, stringy mozzarella in a fried ball with barely any rice, and just not any flavor.

The focaccia was wet un the middle. Nice seasonings on top, and a good dipping oil.

The Bass was probably the best entre.. that's all I can say about that.

The tagliatelle was completely tasteless with wet meat on top and not an ounce of sauce of any kind. Like boiled wet meat taken out of a pot with a slotted spoon, and that's all the sauce you get. No red, not a little oil,...just wet meat on noodles.

The Lumache was ok, but really odd to have it in the main entry category. It's an app at best. I was get that again for lunch maybe..certainly not a dinner. Nothing to do with looking for a big American plate..it's just not dinner. Cold greens on a chick pea pancake basically is not dinner. It was ordered because we thought they were doing something different to it, but no.

Then the worst of the worst, the capellini nero.. what the hell.... rock shrimp..ok, roasted fennel...I'm with ya...then n'duja.. I asked what it was, pork glaze with spices and a little bite at the end. It seemed like such an odd combo I had to try it. Well odd it was. The sauce is way to strong to taste the other ingredients. It's way to spicy to taste the sauce! And what the hell with the wet noodle dishes.. Definitely precooked and overdone.. I actually couldn't eat it.

Just stop the madness.
Such a shame...so close to home, but a 1 n done for all of us.

Overall rating: 4.2

Unfortunately I didn’t like this place as much as I wanted to. I was expecting a fancy restaurant based on all of the fancy pasta cheese wheel videos I’ve been seeing. It’s just a regular restaurant. 😅 I mean for a $25+ pasta place in Brooklyn, yes I was expecting some fancyness.

I didn’t get pasta and maybe that would have changed my opinion. But I got the Carbonara pizza, & it was not good. They put an egg in the center & idk if it was supposed to be cold but the execution was not there.

I found it also weird that when I asked for the dessert menu, the server couldn’t tell me by memorization. Instead it was a whole ordeal and they needed to get the dessert platter to go through 5 desserts. Net, net, they couldn’t tell me before I ordered my meal. So odd.

The dessert was good though & def better than the pizza.

So odd. I probably won’t be going back. But if you’re willing to spend $36 on a pasta wheel, def worth giving it a try. Just wasn’t for me.

this place is the spot when i think classic ny italian food. Came from Nashville to ny for a week to get a good experience and feel for ny(because i planned to move here later) and this was one of the places I went to.(Granted i may be in Nashville but i’m a chicago boy i know my italian food). And this is the spot. I’m an aspiring chef and this is the type of place i would look foward to ever having the opportunity to work for.(P.S if the owner is seeing this my mom is a well trained pastry chef and had said your tiramisu was nearly comparable to hers, which by any means is a massive compliment). Highly recommend this place. And the sauce that the lamb shank special was braised in was fabulous.

My new favorite Brooklyn restaurant. Upscale culinary experience with a cool vibe. Our server Clifton gave us perfect recommendations. The food was outstanding. We tried the octopus and a couple different in house made pastas. Everything was great. Can’t wait to come back. Compliments to the chef.

Great little trattoria! Sooo adorable and cozy. All Italian natural wine list and every wine by the glass! My gf and I shared the bruschetta (tomatoes were outrageous), the gnocchi with porcini and the lobster bisque and crab rigatoni. We sat out back in the covered garden and it was really lovely. So many things on the menu looked amazing. The (Italian) staff were great. Would love to visit again. I saw the artichoke crostini on my out and had serious fomo!

We did our little wedding dinner at Faun about a week ago and I want to say thank you so so much! It was exactly what I imagined it to be with the very intimate and comfy atmosphere - inside and outside with their cute backyard. It was our first time there and we made the right choice. The staff was amazing! So kind and caring putting in so much effort to make it a special but warm evening for us. The food was excellent. We decided to do their prix fixe format and had plenty of leftovers to take home. All of our guests loved the food but were almost full after the second course. I cannot recommend Faun enough and we're definitely going to come back!

Brunch in Clinton Hill/Fort Greene is an experience. The variety of restaurants rival the Village eateries of the late 80's. Evelina is a great spot to enjoy a fusion of Mediterranean/Italian selections. The vibe is bright, airy and laid-back. I started with the Whipped Ricotta and peppers w/pita, the main was the Octopus Salad and dessert was an Affagotto. Delicious!!!

Wow… I love all the pasta Dish we ordered and the Antipasti - Grilled Octopus is so good. But the Ravioli, Black Ink Pasta w/ Shrimp and Crab Meat Then the Strazzappeti Al Ragu were so good. Highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of dining at Terri restaurant and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The pasta and ribeye stack were absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The wine selection was fantastic and perfectly complemented our meal.

Our waiter Alejandra was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations for both our meal and wine choices. She made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

The owner Danielle was extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. It's clear that he takes great pride in her restaurant and ensuring her guests have a memorable dining experience.

Overall, I highly recommend Terri restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious meal and exceptional service. I know I will definitely be returning for another visit soon!

Always amazing! Delicious food and great service. The oxtail burger is a must!

I had the most incredible dinner at Osteria Brooklyn! Everything was cooked to perfection and the hospitality was outstanding. Some of my favorites were the Bucatini Cacio & Pepe, Pollo Caprese, Meatballs and the Cinque Formaggi Pizza. Don’t forget to check out their cocktails and dessert!

We were a party of 7 and were accommodated downstairs in a cellar like room. Super cool! Intimate setting. All of the food was really good. Loved the palenta and shrimp dish. They only carry wine, no full bar. We found ourselves waiting around for the bill. But overall a great experience.

This place is an Italy dream! Loved the food. Staff is incredibly kind. Wine selection is extensive and the pours are generous. This is definitely my new favorite spot!

• gnocchi was melt in your mouth good
• Ragu was flavorful with their signature pasta

Not sure why this place isn't busy all the time cause the food is well-portined and really good, and service is friendly and attentive. I usually get the Percoraio salad and Pappardelle al Ragu and they're the same every time - delicious! Pappardelle is better than at nearby busier/trendier restaurants. I've also had the fettuccine al fungi and rigatoni alla norma, both delicious! The restaurant might need a little face-lift, but food is not highly complex and is consistently good.

Make a reservation, you won’t be disappointed. Ambiance and open-modern design paired perfectly with the shareable cuisine. My best friend and I dined here on a work trip, and all we have to say is: ORDER THE NAAN! It’s incredible… thin and crispy with a touch of sea salt. We also had very delicate and frothy espresso martinis to help with the jet lag 😉💃🏼. 1 app, 1 order of the Naan w/dip trio and 1 entree is great for two people. We were there for 4hours! Service is outstanding and not pushy.

Pizza and pasta were really good. The meatballs were not good though :( service was really nice though

The place is super cool, authentic Italian food. The atmosphere is perfect and Emiliano and his wife make you feel like at home. Cool place, warm people and amazing authentic food!

Ordered the settanta cocktail. Was amazing and fairly priced. Tagliatelle bolognese was only average - portion size was too small and there wasn't enough bolognese sauce. Overall experience still 4 stars but was a tad bit disappointed in the food.

Everything the 3 of us ordered was soooo delicious! Oh yum😋I loved the eggs Benedict and my son got the duck leg with waffles and eggs (he has ordered this dish many times. My husband got the strawberry french toast and shared it with the eggs Benedict. I looked at what other people ordered and I would like to come back and try other dishes here

It was my first time in this wonderful place. Insanely delicious food (homemade black pasta, lasagna and arancini) and kind staff made our romantic evening! Everything was great! I was satisfied and very glad I know that place now. Thank you so much!

This place deserves to go there for brunch. They have a great selection of menus to have a good weekend getaway. Guys, you are special!

If you have not stopped by at this place, I suggest you do! Service is always top notch. Very friendly, dedicated individuals working at this establishment. You can never go wrong with their Mushroom Fettucine Pasta and their Butternut Squash raviolis. OMG.. and lets not forget their fresh warm bread with that tomato sauce.. YUM!

Run!! Run here now!!
Seriously the pasta, vibes and staff are all so amazing here. Everything is so so fresh and flavorful. We got the special pesto short rib and it was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in the city. Fennel ricotta got better with every bite and the espresso martini was great. Would definitely get the special again but would probably get something other thanthe dads pasta. Absolutely will be returning here

Loved this cozy place in Brooklyn near my friend's home. The pasta was fabulous! Our two dishes had just the right amount of truffle (stuffed gnocchi) and lemon (ravioli). Hard to do! Truffle can be so overpowering. The cocktails were lovely, too -- made me feel like I was actually in Italy.

Phenomenal Italian food with excellent staff. I have nothing but high regards for this place. Our waiter was extremely accommodating and let us try wines before ordering a bottle. He even took the time to explain the menu in detail to us. I got the pesto shrimp pasta dish , and it was incredible — super flavorful and the perfect portion. I would definitely go back for a double date or with friends!

Came here for a date with my husband. The focaccia was amazing! We had two pasta plates. Mine was a bit too salty, but both really good. Great atmosphere and service. Good place for a quiet evening out!

This Brooklyn restaurant and wedding venue is a hidden gem with a great vibe and atmosphere. Our team at Megan & Kenneth headed to Frankie’s 457 Spuntino for an intimate wedding ceremony and celebration in the Stable and Pizza Gardens. The venue staff goes the extra mile for the couple, guests, and vendors alike. As wedding photographers and videographers, we especially loved the versatility of the indoor and outdoor spaces offers for a variety of spots to shoot memorable photos.

Fausto is very elegant and has a clean, swedish-minimalist sort of decor mixed with quintessential NY-dining chic restaurants. Service was good, if a little rushed. The focaccia was simply great, and the orecchiete pasta also a highlight. Unfortunately their gelato was very regular, bordering on store bought. The sorbet specifically had frozen solid parts, and did not taste very natural. Overall, a nice experience, and would come back to try more things.

Wow! What an incredible place.
My wife and I took my dad out and each of us were thrilled at the product.
The idea is simple, they have a pasta of the day and you select the sauce.
The one with the mushrooms was incredible. We were all jealous of my dad for ordering it. The faster with a vodka sauce was also perfect.
Even the olives were really good. Worth the extra price.
We’ll be back again soon.

Gem salad is perfect for sharing and makes you wish every salad tasted like this.

Totally different pastas between the mushroom and vodka, but we preferred the vodka sauce. Both delicious.

The pork chop might have been the star and favorite dish, but I think there could be more polenta.

The olive oil cake was dense, moist, and delicious, but we had to remove the marmalade and didn’t touch it. I’m not sure if it was designed this way but way to bitter.

Excellent food quality. Friendly service and very interesting wine choices. Traditional Italian cuisine in Park Slope

I really liked their food and restaurant atmosphere. The staff was nice and helped me selecting the dishes. They were not these kind of waiters that push you to pick more dishes.

The food has a really nice presentation but more importantly it was very tasty. I highly recommend the ragú pasta.

The restaurant design is really nice and has amazing vibes. It’s a cool place for only coming for a glass of wine or have a full dinner.

I’ll come back !

The pasta at @faustobrooklyn are all house-made, and they’re bomb! I especially loved the mushroom and egg yolk pasta. That whole wheat really hits differently! I think the appetizers and entrees are not as impressive, so I would suggest to really focus more on the pasta for your first visit here!

Lovely atmosphere inside. Great service, we never felt like we were waiting too long for anything. Our waiter made great suggestions. Lots of great cocktail options and the food always exceeds our expectations. Highly recommend the agnolotti, it was absolutely delicious 😋

I’m sitting here while typing this review because I don’t want to forget about this find. It’s intimate and inviting the food is warm and hearty. I’m dinning alone but it’s a space for seems like anyone I’ve seen families, friends, and dates all while dinning comfortably alone. If you’re nearby or even if you’re not come visit this delicious place. I had the gnocchi with black truffle and other things but most importantly black truffles 🤤 (I had and an appetizer meat and cheese board adjust for one and I’m looking at dessert but that gnocchi!!) UPDATE : I bit the dessert and the pear ricotta pie? 10 outta 10 it’s somehow soft, fluffy, and decadent. Even if you’re thinking “pear and ricotta?! That’s not my thing TRY IT. Trust me 🥰

Always a great experience when you come here for dinner. Seating downstairs in the wine cellar is always nice when with a bigger group. There is a reason this place has been here so long — great service and food!

Great food, great service in an amazing wine cellar. Had the Caesar salad and the fettuccine. It is a pricey so look up the menu ahead of time.

Love this place! Incredible homemade pasta in a great atmosphere. Friendly and unobtrusive service. Some really beautifully crafted dishes here. The fettuccine with mushrooms and cream sauce was amazing, also recommend the pappardelle with honey braised short rib ragu. The Arancini was perfectly crispy but soft inside. Such an awesome hole in the wall with delicious homemade pasta, a beautiful bar, and great atmosphere.

When we lived in the city, this was our absolute FAVORITE restaurant. After moving up to the Hudson Valley, we decided to have a date day to spend in this area of Brooklyn and made reservations at Frankie's. SO happy to report that Frankie's hasn't changed, and in a very good way. It's still just as wonderful as we remember. The food is astonishingly good as always, and the ambience is just perfect!

Now that’s Italian! This is Court St Brooklyn. You will have the best meal you’ve ever had before. Their menu is perfectly sized not one thing on it i wouldn’t order. Its close eating so be prepared to hop in or out of a conversation with others. They have a very cool Secluded back yard court area for more eating room when its nice out. The cocktail menu perfectly pairs with some of their dishes. If i could leave more stars i would.

Had brunch with a large group at Evelina. Although the dish I personally ordered (the ham and cheese croissant) was disappointing, the mains I tried from my friends were much better.

The croissant didn't have the crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside texture I'd expect from a top brunch place. The ham was just fine. Recommend not ordering this dish and just going down the street to Cafe Paulette if you want a good breakfast croissant.

The duck confit and waffles, as well as the bacon carbonara, were both much better and were clearly more in line with Evelina's full meal specialty. The duck skin was crispy while the meat inside was tender, while the carbonara was authentic using egg instead of milk, making it thick and satisfying. Highly recommend these two dishes if you're coming here for brunch, and shout out to the servers for being very considerate when we asked to move our table outdoors because it was directly under the sun.

I normally don’t like spaghetti, but I have to say, I finished every piece in my plate when I order a whole plate for my own, after I tasted what my friend ordered. It’s so good!
And their CALAMARI is one of the best calamari I tasted in NYC! And I order calamari where ever I go! This place is so cute, great food, nice plating, super friendly staff! Take people you wanna impress to Belli Osteria, and they will surely be impressed’ I’m looking forward to go back soon! Thank you for making food that made me happy!

Nice Italian restaurant in the heart if Park Slope Brooklyn. Everything we tried was sooo good we ate here 3x on vacation. Pizza was great, pasta was fresh, service was fast. Definitely delicious and a must try.

First time eating here by a friends recommendation & it was delicious !! Since we're always in the neighborhood decided it was time to try Da Nonna Rosa, definitely did not disappoint ! Had the Penne Vodka with Grill Chicken, asked for an addition of Asparagus to my dish & it was cooked perfectly. This plate happens to be a favorite of mine so I'll add this place to the list. The bread was amazing as well, quite difficult to stop at one portion ! Tiramisu happens to be my very favorite dessert & it was beyond delicious !! The staff is fabulous as well, checked in on us several times to be sure we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant, love the old school Italian feel.. Sorry to read some of the negative reviews but I share the positive experience I had & quality of service/food. Will be back again for sure !!

The most authentic taste of Italy you can find in NYC. Everything on the menu is excellent and the owners are from Italy and really put there love and passion into their culinary art to bring you the best tastes of Italy they can offer. Always on my list of places to visit and menu changes seasonally.

Best cup of cappuccino and espresso you can find!!!

Underwhelming. Had the ravioli, lasagna, rabbit, octopus, shrimp, and sea bass (fish of the day). The ravioli was especially confusing - being very sweet yet ladled with Bolognese made it unclear whether it was a main course or a dessert. The sea bass was well cooked, however, lacked sufficient seasoning. The rabbit was somewhat dry and tough. Lasagna was nothing to write home about. Overall, had higher expectations, though the atmosphere was very cozy and romantic.

This was a great meal. We we're lucky to be seated in the lower level especially since the heat wave was in full force. The menu is very unique. It is not often that you find rabbit on the menu. And it’s less frequent even when you do find it that the meat is tender and delicious. There were so many fun things to try for example, for appetizers we had the octopus, the artichoke, burrata, and the salad. I probably could’ve stop there. But we went onto a main entrée with a number of different options all very delicious. The steak was made exactly to her liking medium rare on the rear side. And it was carved tableside perfectly. We also had the Seabass. I was very happy that we were able to order a deboned. I never enjoy taking bones out of my mouth while I’m eating.

For dessert we ordered the tiramisu, the flourless cake, and custard which of the three was my least favorite. The tiramisu was very good and highly recommended. What I liked about it is that it wasn't overly sweet. Flourless cake was pretty good though I’m not a big fan of too much chocolate that late at night. It was however about the only gluten-free option on the menu.

If I had one disappointment about eating here is that there was no gluten free pasta on the menu. I would’ve thought by now that most restaurants would have a evolved their offerings to include gluten-free pasta. But all in all the dining experience was really good. I would’ve given them foreign a half stars but half stars are not an option on this app. I really enjoyed it and I hope to return in the near future.

Oh and I really love the waiters hair design. He had this really cool style. I love when people take time for their appearance and also to say something really cool about their personality. It was a great experience overall.

Really great Italian food. The portions are a decent size. The service was great, out waiter helped us to choose a bottle of wine. They make their own fresh pasta 😋 not crowded at all (it was a Wed lunch)
