Came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a lovely evening! Food was great, service impeccable. Will come back for a more casual lunch or another special evening.

Startedwith the fresh mozzarella app, so good we didn’t get pics. Got the linguine with white clam sauce, so great, husband got the pork chops with the best tasting sauce we ever had. Ended the meal with an Italian cheesecake. Incredible meal!

Absolutely incredible dining experience. This gem is apparently a transplant of a prior location, but carries with it a series of traditions and recipes that delighted the taste buds of our group of 10.

The service was attentive and answered questions about the cuisine, guiding us across a series of Italian classics and family-owned recipes.

The food was amazing. Our table had a splash of assorted classics, from a massive, juicy Chicken Parm to flavorful Salmon to succulent pork chops with spicy peppers in brown sauce (pictured). Our entire party loved our meal and the entire experience was hugely positive.

On Saturday night there was also live music, which set a fantastic backdrop for our dining experience (without being too loud – just right).

We are already talking about our next meet up for another night of outstanding Italian food.

Great recommendation by other family member. I’m giving this a 5 star for a few reasons…Last minute reservations, very accommodating. Saturday night entertainment, a gentleman singing opera along with holiday tunes was a bonus. Music was at a nice volume where you could still have conversation. The Bread and complimentary rice balls on the table were excellent! Ceasar salad, chopped style, fresh croutons, delicious. Steak, fish, chicken & pasta dishes pleased our table. This restaurant reminds you of a local gathering where they all come to eat. Service was very good & very accommodating dishes for a gluten free meal. No room for dessert, but next time in the area, will definitely stop back in!

I just came from a work dinner here. I cannot begin to tell you how delicious everything was. The appetizers fried calamari baked clams, cold, anti pasta, bruschetta with mozzarella all delicious, but the best were the mussels. Oh my Lord the mussels were the best I ever had! Everyone agreed the muscles were out of this world, but that was only for starters the pasta, the entrée dessert wine All delicious! I hear they have music on Saturdays. I will be coming back on a Saturday with my friends so worth it. Service was outstanding just a 10 out of 10 all the way around.❤️❤️❤️❤️

We haven’t had a sit-down at Tommaso on 18th Ave just yet, but their pickup game is top-tier — this was our second time grabbing food, and once again, they delivered perfection to-go!

Cheese Ravioli — I had it swimming in their Arrabbiata sauce — and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Arrabbiata means “angry,” but this sauce was the good kind of angry — spicy, hot, and full of flavor. Basically, my tastebuds got yelled at… in the best possible way. 10/10!

Calamari — Crispy, fresh, golden perfection. Not greasy, just pure seafood happiness with a squeeze of lemon and dipped in their red sauce.

Grilled Chicken Parm — Juicy, cheesy, saucy — they nailed it again. Accompanied with vegetables and potatoes

Looking forward to finally sitting down for a meal, but for now, Tommaso’s takeout is making dinner at home feel like a five-star experience.

I came with my 6 year old son. We stand at the front desk more than 5 minutes no one comes to serve us. There are plenty of seats. Waiters are chatting each other. Completely ignoring us. Then we leave the restaurant. Very bad experience.

Last night, my partner and I took a stroll through Dyker Heights to enjoy the Christmas lights and then visited Tommaso’s afterward. I hadn’t been there in 13 years and was curious to see how the restaurant was doing since Tommaso’s passing.

I first met Tommaso in 2012, when I was a baby opera singer hired to perform for guests alongside their beloved pianist, Ray—truly a ray of light. Tommaso himself was unforgettable, for better or worse. A tenor and passionate opera lover, he often sang to his guests during Italian holidays in costume, and especially during Christmas, he would dress as Santa Claus and sing to them. He was also a master in the kitchen, and his dishes carried the unmistakable authenticity of his Italian heritage. I could eat his pasta all night.

Today, Tommaso’s legacy lives on thanks to the dedicated staff who worked with him for years and came together to preserve what he built. The restaurant is smaller now, but they saved one of the original murals and proudly display photos of Tommaso throughout the space. They still feature opera singers—some from the original crew and some new—performing on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Most importantly, Tommaso’s recipes are alive and well in the hands of staff and chefs who worked alongside him for over a decade. These dishes aren’t just preserved; they’ve been perfected.

The food did not disappoint. The meatballs were heavenly—tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. The arancini were the perfect starter, with a beautiful balance of cheese and rice. The wine was delicious; I began with a Montepulciano, which paired beautifully with my fettuccine with shredded boar. And when I say the pasta was al dente, I mean the best al dente pasta ever—truly unmatched. I’ve lived in Florence and Tuscany, and Tommaso’s put all of that to shame.

My partner enjoyed the chicken parmesan (I had a bite—excellent), but I was firmly in pasta heaven. We ended with a traditional ricotta cheesecake, which reminded me what cheesecake is actually supposed to taste like.

This evening was a trip down memory lane—reconnecting with familiar faces, remembering those who now live in our hearts, and honoring a legacy that still shines. Tommaso may be gone, but his spirit lives on through his incredible staff. Support this gem of a restaurant. The food is outstanding, and you’ll leave happy, full, and ready for the best sleep of your life after all that wine and pasta.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Been here twice so far. Service is impeccable. Atmosphere great. Food is good. Some dishes great. We order a wine, it was a bit rancid, they replaced it with no problem and even gave a buy back.

Meal started with delicious cheesy rice balls. Meatballs were soooo tender. Chicken parmigian and carbonara entree were delicious. This will be my new go to – can’t wait to return. Saturday had live music!
