We had passed this place so many times – it was always poacked for brunch on the weekends! We decided to try them out for dinner, and we’re so glad we did!
First, a caveat: it’s cash only (they do have an ATM inside) so no cards!
It’s a very beautiful, old-school, turn-of-the-century vibe that we love about Brooklyn Heights. We were lucky enough to get a table for two without waiting. To start, our drinks were awesome! The mixologist made a wonderful margarita and the best old-fashioned I’ve had literally in years! Their calamari fritti was breaded & fried to a very delicate crisp. The homemade pasta dishes were amazingly fresh too. We had pappardelle al funghi (mixed mushrooms, olive oil, parmesan) and tagilatelle al ragu di agnello (lamb ragu, cinnamon, cannanou wine sauce, pecorino) and both were out of this world with flavor and perfectly cooked al-dente goodness. Their torta al limone slice for dessert was outstanding as well. This was one of the best meals we’ve had in the neighborhood, and we told Morgan (manager/server) that we would return with friends. It’s a must! (Just remember to bring cash! And by the way, the prices were very reasonable: all the pasta dishes were around $20, drinks $16)

The Malloreddus alla Campidanese was excellent, with fresh, chewy pasta and a rich, savory sausage sauce. The octopus was light, tender with a slight char and briny flavor. The dishes here are really simple but done with care. Just wish it wasn’t cash only

such a cute neighborhood spot – feels tucked away and locals feel in the best way. come for drinks on the patio and stay for dinner. the food is good, not mind-blowing, but the service is lovely and makes up for it. perfect for a relaxed night out. great wine list and outdoor vibe. got the calamari, mushroom pasta, zucchini and hugo spritz.

The food was very good, in my opinion a true Italian restaurant.
It’s a great spot for a dinner date, with a chill and pleasant atmosphere.
However, keep in mind that it’s cash only (there is an ATM inside).
I do find it a bit pricey for what you get, after all it’s pasta, but the quality is definitely there.
The cocktails are also very good, though on the expensive side.
Overall, I recommend it for a special date night.

As this is the second time this has happened, I feel I should leave a review. I love the atmosphere, but the food is just fine. The first time we sat outside and were given menus and then ignored for half and hour and my friend was a bit upset so we left to get something else.
The second time *edit: this was during fall season* we also sat outside, had a really lovely chat with our waiter who took our orders. Then an hour came and we did not get our food or drinks, and weren’t able to get the attention of anyone to help us. We figured they were busy. But after watching everyone around us get seated, have full meals and even begin to leave, our waiter finally came back and said he forgot to put in our order. We were not offered anything, only that if we wanted to order dessert they would comp one, which we didn’t really want.
Not sure if this restaurant has a system for making sure they get to the tables on the outside, but it really wasn’t a nice experience and I don’t think I’ll be returning.

River Deli is the cutest little Italian restaurant tucked away on a quiet street in Brooklyn Heights. They specialize in Sardinian cuisine. Everything was quite delicious.
Sadly, our experience was tainted at the end of the meal after a rude encounter with one of the staff there. He yelled at me when I took my camera out and kicked me out of the restaurant.

Cash only spot, and doesn’t take reservations unless a larger party.
Didn’t try any, but the cocktail list looked good, and plenty of wine options.
Octopus was ok, but everything else was amazing.
We missed lunch so had an early dinner when it wasn’t busy but around 7pm every seat was full.
Great neighborhood spot and loved the branzino (special) and the spinach ricotta ravioli

Delicious meal at River Deli. They consistently deliver excellent quality food from the uncountable times I’ve been here. Highly recommend the ravioli, zucchini and the tiramisu if I had to pick my favourite dished. Service is always efficient and friendly. Would note they only take cash but they have an ATM indoors but just something to keep in mind if you don’t want to pay an extra atm fee. I’ve found theyre pretty efficient and they do take walk ins thankfully the wait has varied between 10 to 45 mins when I’ve generally been which is far better than many hyped up Italian restaurants which are impossible to book. Finally the area is beautiful so definitely walk around willow town while you wait for your table!

We had a beautiful dinner here, super unique restaurant and location, especially at night. The vegan eggplant, mushroom and squash dish was excellent, and everyone enjoyed their meals, highly recommend!

Very authentic, Southern Italy restaurant. My friends have been numerous times for lunch and dinner, but we stopped by on a Sunday for brunch/lunch. Awesome dessert options too! Very much like a small restaurant you would find in Italy.
Carbonara made authentically with raw egg! Lasagna is . Trofie is such an underrated pasta. Pane Frattau is straight from Sardinia.
Outdoor seating! yay!
Cash only, but worth it. (ATM on premises bc there is not one nearby!)
