- KESeptember 7, 2016Warm, romantic lighting and a homey, vintage Italian vibe. Clearly a loved spot by locals. Good for dates - I saw a few families during dinner too. The spaghetti bolognese was just right.
- Abbie StevensonMarch 30, 2018Get the pasta limon if it’s in season. It’s friggin fantastic!!! Otherwise get the cacio e pepe with asparagus and ask for them to add pork belly on top. Holy smokes. It’ll change your life
- Get here as early as you can - they have great specials but often run out early in the night. Don't fret though if this happens to you - everything on the regular menu is also very good.
- Sheetal JiwaniMay 21, 2022Nice ambiance! The spicy garlic bread was INCREDIBLE. If you like spicy foods, it’s a must get. I got the cacio e Pepe and lasagna, both were okay.
- Everything is simply amazing! Cash only! Orechiatte pasta w the garlicky cauliflower for the win with a side of Maine Black Bass clams, mussels and shrimps!
- Asli SJune 21, 2017Good for dates. Try the pappardelle with mushroom + duck ragu- so delicious. Came around 8 on a Tuesday night and only waited ~5-10 min to be seated.
- My home away from home in Brooklyn Heights. I enjoy sitting at the bar and being served by Marcello or Aldo. The clams and oysters are so fresh! All the food and service is splendid. Cash is king here
- Solid neighborhood standard bearer. Soulful and straightforward Italian fare. Wait times can be a bear on the weekend, so better off going midweek (fyi-closed Mondays) or planning for an early dinner.
- My go to place for great Italian in BKHeights. Solid seafood and pasta options. Heads up - Closed on Mondays and cash only.
- Claudia FilthAugust 21, 2016Amazing old school Italian. Food is great but the servings are HUGE so be warned!
- Donelle BApril 3, 2013The service was excellent - the calamari for starters was superb - from what I saw in the dining room u could not go wrong with anything on the menu!
- Argelys OriachMarch 14, 2017Unassuming Italian restaurant with an impressive (and affordable) wine list.
- Elizabeth LutzJanuary 7, 2012Calamari was Amazing, Should have ordered the fett w/seafood, tiramisu was like tufts of creamy sweetness, service was endearing - totally recommend visiting if you're in the 'hood.
- The gnocchi is heaven, as is the lasagna. Super cozy, cash only, strong bread pudding game.
- Peter ShumJanuary 15, 2016The lasagna is phenomenal, the portions are really generous and the olive oil and bread is great.
- monydfnyApril 23, 2017Delicious fresh seafood, loved my seafood pasta and service is super friendly.
- Debra SchultzOctober 29, 2023Chicken Milanese with salad and Giardina, eggplant parm and swordfish all were great.
- CompassApril 21, 2014Handmade pastas and inexpensive house wine pours keep this cash-only comfort food packed on a wait come most weekends.
- Our local fave. It's all good. But no reservations or credit cards. But local checks ok.
- Robby AbayaJune 4, 2016Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna. Lasagna.
- Public Art FundJanuary 4, 2013#StaffPick close to our exhibition at Brooklyn Bridge Park. AMAZING italian food! A neighborhood-feeling place.
- raf pSeptember 30, 2016the food was great, but talk about awful service! legit had to flag down several waiters to order and get each part of our meal. such a letdown.
- Natalia QuinteroJune 15, 2012Once you get over the weird name, you'll find that this spot has fantastic Italian food! (but really, whats up with the name?)
- Trisha VanderbeckAugust 8, 2014AMAZING food. The gnocchi was wonderful. The bread and oil were awesome.
- Kenji TakabayashiOctober 21, 2011When they are running the risotto with rock shrimp and corn, GET IT. Also, the braised short ribs and polenta is amazing.
- Go for their seasonal specials. Had several wonderful surprises
- Stephanie KimberlyNovember 28, 2011The food is absolutely delicious! The only issue I had was our waitress. Everyone else was super nice and accommodating.
- Kerry EusticeMarch 18, 2018Great appetizers. Pasta cooked perfectly - but ragu and sauces were bland.
- Andres MenaSeptember 4, 2011I come always, I always tip generously, always a battle to get a table. Today, they didn't even try. I am taking it personally today.
- The bar is the best places to hang and get food. Amazing staff and such great food made any way you want. If I lived here, I'd be here a lot. A bit loud. But ok.
- Rahul GandhiAugust 4, 2010order the lasagna if you want a quick meal. you'll be in and out in less than 30 minutes. also, the house wine is $14 a bottle and it's good.
- Nicola Carbone Jr.August 26, 2013Love the freshly made fettucine; however, everything else was fair to average. No need to go out of your way to eat there. Also, they are a cash only business.
- Mark LeeMay 22, 2011Look down your nose at the Comic Sans font choice on the menu. Then order something tasty from said menu. Great good.
- Madam AnnlaSeptember 23, 2016The restaurant is lovely and nice but staffs and services are not good as it should be. Slow and not very welcome.
- The broccoli rabe and pork belly special is among the finest dishes I've ever had.
