Can’t believe I just discover this restaurant! Everything we ordered was so delicious—highly recommend the brussel sprouts and meatballs, just so good! Also, the chicken parm and mushroom linguine were some of the best we’d had since coming back from Italy! Service was so smooth and the ambiance of the dim lights, classy decor, and great menu options just made our special occasion dinner even more memorable.

One of the better Italian restaurants in Brooklyn. It’s fairly dark inside, making it feel like a speak easy with a nicely stocked bar. The waitress was very knowledgeable and was able to address dietary concerns. Going early is a great thing to do since this restaurant gets packed and at times requires a reservation. Going earlier will mean families, but as the night goes on, more couples show up making it more of a location to bring dates. Street parking can be found but be patient; there is a lot of traffic going around the neighborhood. The grandma pizza is very good; everything is also excellent… However we had difficulty determining which favor was which for the ice cream!

We had an 8:30 reservation and showed up early at 8 to grab a drink at the bar while waiting for the table. We didn’t get seated until 9:15. Once we finally sat down, our waitress didn’t come over for another 20 minutes. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and pasta. Drinks and apps eventually came out, but then… nothing. After sitting for over an hour, we noticed tables that were seated after us already getting their pasta, the place clearing out, while our main dish was nowhere to be found, and our waitress was nowhere to be seen.
We finally asked another waitress (who was actually very kind and helpful) to check, and she found out our pasta never got made because “the system glitched” and the cooks never received the order. Which apparently “happens often”. At that point, we skipped the pasta completely, it had already been way too long.
We ended the night with the rainbow cookie dessert, which was the only highlight; it was amazing. But the rest of the experience was hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. You can see in the background of the picture below that the restaurant is completely empty by the time we finally got our dessert. Not a single apology, and nothing done to make up for the long wait and total lack of service. Definitely won’t be back.

10/10 food, service, and atmosphere. We came here for our anniversary and it was truly a magical experience. Our servers were super kind and attentive. The music and ambiance were perfect. And the FOOD? Phewww on another level. Our favorites were Nonna’s Rainbow Pie, the meatballs, and of course the rainbow cookie sundae. This is the perfect spot for a date night and some of the best Italian food we’ve had in Brooklyn.

We have come here a couple times and have had nothing sort of an excellent experience every time! They have all sorts of great deals from their $15 Pasta Tuesdays to their happy hour every day until 630, but even their regular menu is very well priced and full of flavor in every section! We got their eight dollar martinis which are available all of July and our expertly made and we got this amazing corn and pancetta stuffed pasta. Even if you don’t like pancetta or a very smoky flavor, it’s very mild and you should absolutely get it as the corn is in peak season and really fresh. The chicken Parm we got with vodka sauce with gigantic, and we only finished half of it and it came with a side of incredible homemade pasta. This might be the most underrated Italian restaurant in the city!

Food 8/10
A homey and traditional Italian spot located south of Williamsburg. I thought the appetizers were better than the main, and the tiramisu was stellar too – dare I say even the star of the show. The prosciutto was nice to start with, and I quite enjoyed the chewiness of the focaccia. The saffron pasta was quite interesting, although a little too watery for my preference.
Atmosphere 8/10
Soft and dim lighting, a relatively large interior, and plenty of great conversations. Dark wooden surfaces, elegant and nothing too fussy.
Service 8/10
Our host gave us great thoughts on the different cocktails, very friendly and solid experience overall.

Our entire order was served at once. No one wants their cocktail, appetizer and entrée at the same time. Service etiquette can be better observed. The food itself is standard at best considering the other Italian options within that 3 block radius.
On a positive note, the ambiance is inviting and cozy.

Really enjoyed the fig salad and garlic bread with burrata!
We tried the pasta sampler – did not really like the selections of pastas it came with.
The steak was a good portion size and pretty tasty.
Would come back to try the pizza and dessert
