Stina P.June 5, 2016it's definitely tasty but there are better Italian spots around. worth going at least once especially for the neighborhood but i wouldn't go again
William HAugust 26, 2014People like this place more than they should. I could also just be bitter because they once serve me a plastic string in my meal and were then snooty about taking it off the bill.
Sara F.September 3, 2011If given the choice to eat in the wine bar or wait for a table, wait. It is a nicer atmosphere in the dining room
Morgan SNovember 6, 2010Ohhh, the beet ravioli....I dream about it. The wine bar around the corner is a good place to wait and snack on a busy night.
- Andrew DFebruary 1, 2010Go to Al Di La and order anything. It's all amazing. Make sure to order wine from the very interesting and reasonable wine list.
Andrew HickeyFebruary 25, 2010Be sure to get there a few minutes before the doors open in order to get a good table. Al di La takes no reservations & it gets busy fast!
ConciergeQMarch 11, 2011What is your favorite smell or taste in Brooklyn? Simone Dinnerstein, Classical Pianist: "The polenta with mushrooms at al di la." Read more
FrancisMarch 22, 2010If the daily special is the Squid Ink Risotto (as it often is) you should definitely order it. Also have the Saltimbocca.
With Love from BrooklynJanuary 8, 2012No wait at lunchtime. Yes!!! @ABCDsofCooking recommends the mushroom polenta with poached egg.
etta yJuly 4, 2011Good food, charming and professional service, nice atmosphere. Finish with the affogato!
- the best dish here is the Malfatti! Just loved that cloud like gnocchi..
Chris ChobesNovember 2, 2010love the deep-friend chick-peas as a starter, then finish-off with a pasta dish
Jason Del ReyFebruary 14, 2010If the cavatelli with pork shoulder ragu and goat cheese is one of the specials, do it and thank me later
Carolyn WeissMarch 19, 2010Probably the best restaurant in the Slope... If you can get a table! No rezzies, just cross your fingers when you walk in.
karen bonna rainertSeptember 21, 2010The affogatto with vanilla ice cream and pralines is worth however long the wait is at the door.

"Pre 9am it's usually very quiet so a great place to chill and reflect. Always good music playing"

"Try the spinach, fennel and parmigiana salad. So fresh!"
Tina Magnuson - 8.9
"A great restaurant with a deceptive name... it's actually specializes in really quaint Italian dishes (not your usual Olive Garden fare). Came here for brunch, and had excellent trophie al pesto."
