I’ve been coming here for about 5 years. It’s a wonderful place. The food is always excellent and the service amazing. However, I recently ordered the tagliata (steak dinner), and it just came with the steak and arugula…in the past it’s always come with mashed potatoes. I had to order them separately for an extra 7$…40$ and it only comes with arugula on the side?? It was absolutely delicious as usual, but I think it’s insane that it doesn’t come with a proper side dish. BRING BACK THE MASH!!! (I had eaten a few pieces of steak before I took the photo, it was a proper 8 ounce sirloin) I’m not sure I will order that again. I also had the salad misto as a starter, and a lemon and sage spritz. All told my bill was like 80$. To spend 70 plus dollars on a dinner out and not get a full meal with proper sides is just wild. Like I side, the food is always excellent superb and I love the staff, but I’m not sure it will stay in the rotation, at least for that meal anyway.

Loved everything about this place. It was the quintessential neighborhood date night place. The menu was not your run of the mill Italian menu. Every dish was delicious and well prepared. We loved every dish but you must have the artichokes and The abbacchio. Sorry that my photos do not do justice to the food. We went all out from cocktails to dessert but you can certainly eat well here for less money than we spent .

This Italian restaurant was a great surprise. The pizza was very good, and the lasagna was excellent. They were able to seat our large party with no reservation, which was very appreciated. The service was helpful, and the tiramisu was also very good. The food, service, and overall experience were impressive, and I highly recommend trying this place.

Long story short about the score: The food was fine, but the bartender (that was also our server) didn’t have a great attitude.

Now, details.

The Prosciutto and Pecorino was everything you need and more. The bread was super fresh and soft and the honeyed almonds were addictive.

I got the Pappardelle oxtail and my friend got the Pollo Arrosto. Both were solid meals, but we added a pinch of salt to both, and I’m not mad about that, better to have the option to spice it up a bit.

The main issue with the host was that he had some not-so-friendly attitude throughout the night, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was that when it was time to pay, we asked to split the bill, and he threw a mini tantrum about how it would be so much easier for us to pay each other, and that they have to pay “more fees” for processing more transactions, and on top of that, he said that he was “wasting his time” by having to have each of us pay.

I have been a server, and I understand that charging only one card is easier, of course, but it wasn’t like he was very busy; it was a quiet Tuesday night.

I was happy to have tried this place after, but I’m not sure I would be coming back after this experience.

Besides that, a final note was that the restaurant itself was very charming!

Nice neighborhood restaurant. Fast service. Faves were the fried artichokes, the asparagus pinsa, the cod, the parpadelleand the tiramisu.

Didn’t care for the lasagna at all. Too much starch (pasta and peas) to filling ratio. Not interesting.

This place is really cozy! I loved the atmosphere and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I was THRILLED to see gluten free options on the menu, especially in this neighborhood. The gluten free pasta was really salty for my likes (as has been mentioned on other comments) but I took my leftovers home to have with a bright side salad. The gelato was out of this world. I will definitely be back and will bring more folks with me!

The atmosphere is beautiful and calming with a good selection of wine and friendly service! But the food wasn’t great on the night I went. I saw the reviews and was very excited to try it out but was ultimately disappointed. I ordered the oxtail pasta and didn’t enjoy it so I packed it to go and ordered another pasta just wasn’t any better. Nevertheless the restaurant is beautiful and has a really good aura to it!

Camillo is a very bright spot in a neighborhood in transition and a solid Go-To for my wife and me. The pizza is greasy and they have GF crust available! The Tagliata (aka; sirloin steak) served with mashed potatoes and arugula salad, is the best in the wider area. Philipe, and his colleagues behind the bar, serve delicious cocktails and conversation and greet you by name when you walk through the door. I love this place and think you will too

Stepping into Camillo, a cozy Italian eatery in the heart of Brooklyn, is a transportive experience. The ambiance, with its warm lighting and rustic decor, immediately sets the stage for a meal that promises both comfort and culinary sophistication. As a food connoisseur, I’m always on the hunt for a place that respects tradition while elevating ingredients, and Camillo delivers on all fronts.
The meal began with a moment of delightful indecision, faced with the restaurant’s extensive selection of aperitifs and negronis. The sheer variety of negronis, from classic to house-infused, is a testament to the bar’s dedication to this iconic Italian cocktail. I opted for a flight of Amaro, savoring the complex herbal and bitter notes before diving into the food.
For starters, we ordered the Arancini, a classic Sicilian street food that can be a benchmark of a kitchen’s skill. The golden-fried spheres were perfectly crisp on the outside, giving way to a creamy interior of Arborio rice. Tucked inside was a rich, flavorful pork ragù and a molten core of mozzarella cheese. It was an impeccably executed dish—a true taste of home-cooked Italian goodness.
The Asparagi & Ricotta pinsa was the star of the show. Pinsa, a Roman-style flatbread, has a unique texture—light, airy, and with a crispness that holds up to its toppings. The pinsa was a canvas for a symphony of flavors. It was generously topped with roasted asparagus, their earthy sweetness enhanced by a sprinkle of salty Parmigiano. Cubes of crispy guanciale provided a savory, porky richness. A dollop of cool, fresh ricotta balanced the intensity of the other ingredients, adding a creamy, slightly tangy element. The true genius, however, was the truffle sauce—a deeply aromatic and complex concoction of truffles, porcini mushrooms, black olives, and a hint of anchovy. This sauce was a masterstroke, infusing the entire dish with a luxurious, earthy depth that lingered beautifully.
Next, the Eggplant Parmigiana arrived, a comforting and robust dish. It was a beautiful example of how simplicity can be utterly delicious. The layers of tender eggplant were perfectly stewed with a rich, vibrant tomato sauce and blanketed in a generous layer of melted Parmigiano. Each forkful was a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors, with the soft texture of the eggplant providing a satisfying mouthfeel.
To conclude, we indulged in the Tiramisu. This quintessential Italian dessert was a flawless rendition. The mascarpone cream was light yet rich, its subtle sweetness offset by the robust bitterness of the cocoa and espresso-soaked Italian ladyfingers. The layers were impeccably balanced, avoiding the common pitfall of being overly saturated. It was a perfect ending to a magnificent meal, leaving a lasting impression of authenticity and craftsmanship.
Camillo is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of Italian cuisine’s soul. From its thoughtful aperitif program to its flawlessly executed dishes, it’s a destination for anyone who appreciates the art of good food.
