Nuree ChoeDecember 29, 2012Beet salad w ricotta, pine nuts, and frisée - amazing and filling! Def a large portion so share. Sausage-broccoli rabe panini is also delish! Tiramisu - yummy. Sit by the window on a sunny day.
Rob E.February 18, 2014If they have the Norcino special, get it. It's delicious: the menu describes it as “Butcher’s Pasta” Sweet Sausage Ragu w/ Spezi Forte, Fennel Pollen & Topped with Ricotta Cheese.
Serious EatsNovember 3, 2011Sausage, Broccoli Rabe, Mushroom and Taleggio Panini: Packed with mild sausage, earthy mushrooms, and plenty of well-chopped, tender, bitter greens. Combined with just enough pungent, tangy taleggio. Read more
Laura NorenMay 26, 2013Risotto of the day is sinfully fantastic. Farrow mushroom salad is also delicious but less sinful. Great wine list and bruschetta options - ricotta, honey, chestnut is my pick.
Kanchan KoyaFebruary 20, 2012Nice solid neighborhood spot. Love the farro salad, bruschetta and contorni. Mac & cheese was especially delicious tonight. Friendly servers and great cocktails. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Nick BonavitaJanuary 6, 2013Specials are where it's at. Try the Aperol Spritz for starter drink. The best wines are planets cerasualo, Cannonau and travaglini gattinera.
WillMcDNovember 22, 2014Always a good spot when you need to mix it up for Brunch. ps baby friendly :)
Village VoiceAugust 13, 2010Get the Taleggio, Broccoli Rabe & Sausage Panini-ciabatta panini, pressed w/ earthy taleggio & sautéed mushrooms; broccoli rabe heated w/ garlic & a few stray chile flakes & fennel-seed-spiked sausage
Order the cheesecake for dessert. Perfect portion and very likely the best I've ever had.
Emily OkeyNovember 11, 2014Great food and lots of vegetarian options but really slow service so hope you're not in a rush!
Mushroom bruschetta, gorgonzola/tomato bruschetta, sausage panini, sizzling shrimp diablo, meatballs and the specials are usually great.
Brad RickmanOctober 1, 2013Good place to bring your kid(s) without feeling like you're dumbing it down. Nicely done panini, salads.
Melody GambinoAugust 22, 2014You haven't lived a full life unless you have had the asparagus with the over easy egg and parmigiana.
Start with the bruschettas (Sausage, Fennel & Caramelized Cipolle and Gorgonzola, Roast Tomato & Aged Balsamic) and end with a banana and Nutella panini. Delicious!
Jeannie ChanJune 9, 2013Try the Warm Farro Salad - Warm farro being mushroom with tomatoes with balsamic. So delish!
Chelsea BalkanMay 19, 2013#FabuLIST #DubiDO scrambled eggs with mushrooms and pancetta, poached eggs, and bread pudding with berries
Brian LemondMay 12, 2012Great restaurant but impossibly loud. Dear owner, please get some sound absorption going. You know, soft surfaces and such...
JuAnne NgDecember 25, 2011Try the sausage bruschetta and the kale. Save room for the berries with aged balsamic reduction - heaven!
Emily DePuryJune 6, 2013Mushroom bruschetta is amazing. Meatballs good too. Servers not so friendly.
Amanda PDecember 4, 2011Get the wild mushroom,leek, and goat cheese frittata. Perfect winter brunch plate.
Danielle MatthewsSeptember 21, 2011Try the pickled vegetables. You can order them as a side or they also come with some of the paninis.
Delicious goat cheese and mushroom frittata, and the banana nutella panino is unreal
stop in after the dinner rush hour, sit at the bar, order a glass of prosecco and enjoy a few small plates. it's marvelous.
Sophia RaiMay 25, 2011A party of five resulted in us having to use a rickety folding chair instead of any of the empty regular chairs. Even after complaining.
My top three bruschetta: 1) sausage/fennel/cipolla; 2) Chicken Liver/Cranberries; 3) Sweet Pea/Marscapone/Proscuitto
Poached eggs might just be the best brunch in Brooklyn. Do it.
the waitress tried to stab me then joked about how funny blood is. I love this place.
Brunch it with the Salmon Fritata or Scrambled Eggs with Soppresata :)
Lamb chops are the best! Wonderful ambiance and good service.
