Ate here recently for my birthday and everyday was so delicious! We ordered a half portion of the squid ink calamarata, roasted beet salad and two specials crispy fried sea bass over white beans and a duck confit rotolo. Everything tastes so delicious and my favorite was the squid ink pasta

The Beet Salad is AMAZING and the best you’ll ever have (nothing beets it). Di’s service was friendly, honest and welcoming – give her a raise. 🙂

I stopped by their stand at the McCarren Park farmers market and all of their baked goods looked amazing, but I grabbed a chocolate almond croissant for $6.25. Steep price but this is one of the best croissants I have ever eaten. Why do more places not mix the almond and chocolate together?!?!? This is one of the best things I have ever eaten.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and interesting decor. The service is great. The pretzel was somewhat dry. The arancini was good, a bit dense, the sauce was flavorful. The squid ink pasta was slightly overcooked, both the pasta and the squid and the sauce didn’t have a lot of flavor. Overall the food was fine but nothing was memorable.

Chef Chris’s Slow Braised Lamb sandwich is an absolute standout—tender lamb perfectly complemented by the crunch of pickled red onions and carrots, fresh arugula, and a spicy yogurt sauce, all wrapped in a flavorful curried flatbread. The best part? Everything is made in-house, and you can truly taste the difference in every bite.
The entire staff, from the servers to the bakers, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Natasha, the manager, made me feel like a part of the family and even sent me home with a loaf of their house-made Blueberry Buckwheat Levain, which was just as delicious as it sounds. It’s those personal touches and genuine hospitality that make this place so special.
Whether you’re a local or visiting Brooklyn, this place is a must-try. Chef Chris and his team put so much care into every detail, and it shows. Highly recommend!

The food is so delicious and reliable at Runner and Stone. The bread is scrumptious but somehow I always have room for the carefully crafted savory starters and mains. The food is enhanced with real seasoning (not just salt like many other establishments), and is so friendly for everyone from GF to Vegan to carnivores. The ingredients taste so well sourced and are prepared to maintain their freshness. So much prepared here is from what is in season. We celebrate many family birthdays here. And the desserts! Leave room for them!! Enjoy!

My fiancé and I stopped here for dinner before a show at the Bell House and had an amazing experience. Service is 11/10 – they bake all of their bread in house and make all of their pasta in house. You get served several small bites of their different types of bread while waiting for your food, and they were soooo good. I’m also not sure if she was the owner but in addition to our kind server, another person came and talked to us all about the specials they were offering and even showed us a picture of this amazing vegan pasta dish they were making that night (which I got and loved – get their specials!!!!). Their vegan options are plentiful and interesting, and we will definitely be back. So good!!!!! What a hidden gem on 3rd Ave.

Came in late one night after an event nearby, looking for a snack. I was unsure and tired, feeling a bit down on my mood. I was greeted by Natasha and she made me feel so welcomed. Sat at the bar, ordered the duck pastrami (!) and a glass of Prosecco. Very tasty food, which they pretty much make everything in-house m, from the bread to their own ketchup. This meal felt like a hug, thank you Natasha and team.

I’ve finally found my favorite local bakery. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients because the bread tastes like it’s straight out of the oven. Plus, the team there is wonderfully kind and helpful. A must-visit!

Amazing that I have not reviewed Runner & Stone here before.
We have been patrons for many years and always highly recommend it!
I love their viennoiserie in general and their breads. The orange blossom water brioche is superb! And the baguette!
Best sandwiches in the area!
It’s definitely underrated for dinner. Generous delicious portions and chill. Great neighborhood spot!
