Steve KaliskiNovember 9, 2015It is pricey, but you're already ballin out by being there, so might as well grab the pairing as well. And if you want to be real crazy, grab some pizza at Roberta's after.
Cholina ArceJanuary 6, 2018Definitely an experience. I was there for New Years eve, the price was higher than usual bc of that probably and also they had a guest chef from clown bar in Paris. The night went great 👍🏼
- Ashley ChanMay 15, 2017Beautiful experience where a dedicated team (including Carlo Mirarchi) prepares the meal in front of you. Only 12 counter seats available for this 20 course meal. Distinct Roberta's/Italian-influence!
Jennifer YuJanuary 17, 2019More people need to talk about the fact that beyond the exceptional meal, there’s a Japanese toilet and Byredo products in the restroom.- AnnaMay 19, 2015You are seated at the bar with a view of the kitchen to watch your next dish being prepared from seasonal ingredients while you sip on perfectly paired wines. Time and money well-spent!
The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013Open to only 12 diners per night, this spot is extremely difficult to get into. Once you snag a reservation, you'll be rewarded with an incredible 20+ course tasting menu. The pastas are all divine.- Steve KaliskiNovember 9, 2015Easily one of the best meals of my life. Staff was super helpful. The substitutes that were made were possibly better than the actual menu items! Guests are free to change music on the record player.
SunainaDecember 22, 2014Meticulously crafted Food served with perfection. Pair it with wine and you will be transported to heaven. The whole experience was beyond amazing. Come with an appetite and an open mind.
henry bakerMay 11, 2014The best meal of my life. From the laid back but gregarious staff to the fascinating drink pairing to the unbelievable food, it is easily worth the price, and I normally bristle at these prices.
AmateurConciergeAugust 30, 2019A very solid tasting menu experience that doesn’t overstuff you, is relatively casual and focuses on food that tastes good rather than just puzzles you. Multiple pastas in there. Good wine options- Megan NewcomeJuly 25, 2015The best meal you will ever have in Bushwick, hands down. But while also drinking the best wine and listening to Blondie's 'Parallel Lines' ON VINYL. Basically, blew Jean George's away...#bushwick
Suzy TranSeptember 6, 2019Meal was amazing, but the beverage tasting menu was the icing on the cake. Also, the bathroom is probably the best restaurant bathroom that I’ve used.
Katie ChildsApril 4, 2015Everything here is perfect. Love the entire team. Disclaimer: the wine pairing isn't "driving adjustable," but they will work within your limits.
Time Out New YorkApril 11, 2013Blanca, winner of the Best Big-Pimpin' Brooklyn award, serves some of New York’s priciest high-concept cooking to just 12 flush diners a night in 20-odd courses of tweezer-plated perfection. Read more
Kelly RobinsonMay 17, 2013Definitely get he wine pairing. The sommelier is a genius. Not only is this the best chef's tasting & wine pairing on Earth, but the chef & staff are all so lovely.
Gregory FisherSeptember 21, 2018A stellar meal, but 2 things to consider: AC can get cold, so come prepared; they don’t have nonalcoholic drinks besides soda, but they accommodated us with a mocktail from Roberta’s upon request.
Adriane MorrisonSeptember 25, 2020The food and wine pairing is incredible and the sommelier had us laughing the entire time! Music was on point too.
Tom LeeApril 1, 2013Carlo Mirarchi’s gift as a chef is in finding ingredients that almost radiate their superior quality, and then cooking (or not cooking) them in ways that gently amplify their excellence.
Lizzy SaxeApril 10, 2016Delicious meal, really relaxed environment, and the open kitchen is a great element of the experience.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Diners can play DJ by choosing from a stack of vinyl. Menu highlights include Sasso chicken, crudo, and agnolotti. – Green Guide Editor
Amy ParkSeptember 8, 2019Phenomenal. I rarely say this but probably one of the best meals I have ever had. You must go.
Corinna PSeptember 28, 2012A thoroughly joyful experience. Courses are inventive and delicious. Keep your fingers crossed that a goat is somewhere in the mix..
Boon YapJune 1, 2013Food + wine pairings = SUBLIME. Shanti, the maitress'd is a goddess. Come, and come, again!!!
Kris KelleyNovember 17, 2015Put yourself in the hands of the very talented kitchen staff for 20 courses.
