Brooklyn Heights’ 13 Go-To Restaurants and Bars

"Head to this friendly Mexican option on Montague Street, tucked in a second-floor brownstone space. Focus on great tacos with really fresh, flavorful proteins like al pastor and fried fish, battered in Negra Modelo. Other hits include shareable apps like queso fundido and tasty empanadas, the latter of which comes with a trio of fillings (refried black beans, caramelized plantains, and Vermont cheddar). Gallito’s Kitchen prides itself on sourcing local ingredients from urban farms, so expect farm-to-table callouts on the menu and slightly higher (but certainly justifiable) price points than the average taqueria around town. There’s another, more casual outpost nearby, plus another restaurant in Fort Greene from the same owners." - Alexandra Ilyashov

Wow! We had an amazing Easter lunch at Felice Montague! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We loved the lasagna and the conchiglie al salmone! The shareable gelato dessert was so good! Definitely coming back soon!

Came in for lunch on a Saturday without a reservation. They were definitely fairly full, but my friend and I were still able to snag a table. The outdoor area was very pleasant to sit at on a warm spring day. I ordered a Bianco spritz and the shaved Brussels sprout salad. The spritz was delightful and the whipped goat cheese on the salad was so yummy. We were very well taken care of by the servers. Overall a very pleasant experience!

The linguine fruitti di mare was delicious, the milanese was good too but they seemed to have forgotten to add salt to the chicken. Can be fixed by adding salt myself but thought it was a miss. A good selection of summer cocktails and outdoor seating was perfect on a nice, not extremely hot summer day.

Truly enjoyed coming here, it was a great place to talk with my best friends for hours, sip delicious cocktails and split appetizers tapas-style. The appetizers were the best part for me. The mussels were a 10/10 for me, with a sauce that had to be soaked up with bread. The most memorable dish of the night. Mussels were cooked to perfection, and super plump and tender. The bruschetta had this lovely bright, citrusy puree and thick cut, toasted bread. 9.5/10. All of the bread was so good! The tartare was good 8/10. My pasta was a bit too al dente but everyone else had an incredible experience. The ravioli was particularly delightful (I tried some from my friend). 9.5/10! One of the best parts about this place is how close it is to the promenade and that amazing view! Don't miss it.

Truly phenomenal. Spent all summer in France eating pasta and this was BETTER. Wonderful marzano tomatoes so fresh and delicate while also savory. Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner and service. 10/10

Had dinner here with a friend the other night — everything was super tasty. I got the arrabbiata pasta and added burrata on the side (highly recommend that combo!) — so good, not spicy but full of flavor. My friend had the salmon and loved it too. Service was really chill and friendly. Definitely coming back!

My husband and I were looking for a place to eat while visiting brooklin. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere very warm and friendly. The two course meal was deliciously put together. I personally enjoyed the salad with mixtures of soft, fresh flavors. General manager Rodrigo Caldeira personally greeted us and engaged in conversation with us.

Dinner was very tasty. I am full...normally after a restaurant visit. I'm hungry...but I can even fit a red pepper flake in my stomach I'm FULL. Was able to get a table for 2 as a walk.in on a BUSY Saturday night! Had the white beans soup, roasted Brussels sprouts, and roasted potatoes. My friend had the salmon with pasta, and white bean soup with arugula. Fresh Italian bread. OLIVE OIL was VERY TASTY and fresh. I have not had such great olive oil in about 5 years. If FELICE bottles that olive oil, I would be a frequent buyer of the tasty olive oil. My dietary restrictions WERE ACCCOMMODATED: vegan and allergy to nuts and tomato. Our Table Associate, Leora, listened , spoke to the chef with my off the menu requests, and made suggestions that made for an enjoyable eating experience, after an evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met.) Pasta with olive oil and chili flakes, was perfect, and al dente. Roasted Brussels Sprouts were hot and crispy. You heard and tasted the crunchy leaves as I ate. Roasted baby potatoes were crispy on the outside halves and buttery soft on the inside; all covered with olive oil, caramelized onion and green peppers. As the designated driver, I could not partake of the bottled Felice Red wine. Had sparkling water ...this allowed me savor the taste of each bite. Was so full, I had to get a doggy bag with the Brussels sprouts and roasted potatoes. Can't wait to have for brunch in the morning. A lovely dining experience. I will return!!!

This place is classy! I came to dinner here with my boyfriend at 8pm on a Saturday night and though it was busy it still felt intimate. Sebastian was very attentive and really made us feel luxurious through the meal. We had a glass of Prosecco and Pinot noir to start. For appetizers we had the bruschetta and calamari and then the chicken parm and salmon fusilli which left our belly's full. Everything was scrumptious! Will definitely be back!

Chef's kiss! The food was excellent. You must try the ricotta crostini app. I had the pappardelle which was tasty and my girlfriend had the branzino. It came wrapped in a bag which you don't typically see at most places but it was so good.

Felice is such a fun, yummy and versatile restaurant, I've found it the perfect spot for dates, family dinners and dinners with friends. Most recently I got a really sweet yet simultaneously subtle cocktail (I unfortunately couldn't find on the menu or their website) fried calamari, and Tonnarelli Alla Carbonara. The carbonara was the best pasta I have had in a long time, I can't stress how amazing this fish was enough. Wait time was a bit long but waitress was friendly and attentive.

A great dinner here tonight with family! All of the food I tried was excellent, favorites were the mushroom pasta (gemelli al funghi - add the burrata to it) and the crostone ricotta, which has a ton of delicious ricotta and was almost like a dessert with the figs. Speaking of, we didn't have room left for dessert but the menu looked great. Service ebbed and flowed sort of strangely, a lot of back & forth a few times due to being out of some of the teas in the beginning & boxing up leftovers in rounds at the end. Other times we had to flag down the staff and we're sitting there for a while, but all good as we weren't in a hurry.

Let me say, the ambiance had me at wow! A group of 4- walk in no reservation. Asked to be seated in the igloo outside but was told it was fully booked due to a reservation at 9pm, even though we came in at 6:30pm No problem. We were made a high top table right next to a service door the servers used for outdoor dining. Imagine the cold breeze each time something g needed to be ran outside... The bartender was our server, he was a pleasure. Very insightful and willing to help with suggestions and dietary modifications. The charcuterie board (chefs selection for two) was bountiful- enough to feed the 4 out have some to snack on later. The wine selection has something for each preferred taste. I had a Sangiovese with the charcuterie board and a Sauvignon Blanc with the Rigatoni Al Salmone. The cream sauce the rigatoni came in had no flavor whatsoever- neither did the salmon.

I came here Friday evening after a concert with a friend and the place was packed. Thankfully, we had made a reservation and were seated inside immediately. I noticed there were some tables en pleine air as well as tables in covered igloos outside so I would recommend specifying if you plan on making a reservation. Our table was sandwiched between two others against the back wall and it felt a little packed; I could very clearly hear the conversation on either side of the table. We started our meal with some fresh bread on the house and some excellent olive oil. It was grassy and bold, the perfect way to kick start my taste buds for dinner. We ordered the pappardelle con salsiccia ($26) and the rigatoni al salmone ($28). The pappardelle was delicious with the truffle sauce though I think the braised endive was a bold choice as the bitterness was a little distracting. Personally I would have preferred more porcini mushrooms but maybe next time I'll order the gemelli al funghi instead. The pappardelle itself was eggy and deliciously fresh. The rigatoni had an intensely smoked salmony sauce that was rich and creamy, but it quickly became too much after a few bites. During the course of my dinner, I did notice that the crowds skewed a little older; I think my parents would fit in right away. Overall, a nice spot for a glass of wine and a plate of pasta but not my usual haunt kind of place.

I'm a huge fan of mediocre and overpriced Italian food so I really loved Felice. My favorite part of my experience was waiting nearly an hour for food and never being checked on or notified about how long everything was taking. Once the pasta came, we could tell we were in for a treat, everything looked great. Lasagna, pretty good, 7/10. The other pasta dish was flavorless, but it's okay because too much flavor is bad for my tongue (it'll swell). I almost forgot the appetizer! $27 for a tiny burrata and 6 pieces of prosciutto is very normal and super cool. If you love little cheese, and hate having $27, please pay Felice a visit!

My hubby and I had delish at this restaurant. My pasta was great along with the yummy marinara sauce. I also indulged in a yummy dessert as well chocolate flourless cake with vanilla ice so fresh made with perfection. The environment was lovely along with a great server who had a big smile on face.

The waiter was obnoxious. They are very disorganized. The food is subpar. And it is overpriced. Spare yourself the unpleasant experience!

Felice is an utter gem of a restaurant. The Brooklyn Heights location is particularly lovely. Everything here was delightfully delicious, but the pastas were the definite standouts for me. The wine was also excellent.

I am familiar with and visited Felice--specifically the one on Gold Street in the FiDi area--so when I discovered they recently found a home on Montague Street, I was thrilled. It was a first time visit for my birthday and a wonderful experience from start to finish. I loved everything about this Felice. Let me count the ways: 1. Beautiful outdoor individualized igloos for those of us who might still be Covid cautious (the interior was sleek and sexy). 2. The hospitality. From server Gabriella and manager Flavio to other staff whose name I didn't catch---they really make you feel welcomed and special. (I will comment that due to the busy activity, the service was (at times) a bit slow--refilling of water glasses and delivery of our 2nd drink). 3. Upscale atmosphere. Stunning. Interior vibe was energetic and inviting. But once again, I really appreciated the effort of the outdoor igloo option for those of us not ready to jump into indoor dining. 4. THE FOOD. I left this for last because it was absolutely amazing. Here is what we ordered: For starter: *The Mussels Pomodoro. A really nice portion of mussels in a garlic tomato sauce with two slices of toasted rustic bread. This was phenomenal and filling--definitely good for sharing. I loved the sauce, which was cooked to perfection, and the freshness of the mussels. Spot on and highly recommended. *The Fried Calamari with Artichoke. Arranged on brown paper to absorb the oil, this appetizer was excellent. Rather than serving it with a Marinara sauce, this appetizer was accompanied by a Jalapeno Aioli. The Calamari was tender to the bite and the addition of the artichoke was unique--unlike anything I tasted. Main: *Baked Gnocchi. Not my selection because I'm not a gnocchi fan, but I took a bite---soft, billowy gnocchi immersed in a mozzarella tomato sauce. I think this dish--or rather the way Felice prepared it--could actually convert someone to being a fan of gnocchi. *Rigatoni with Salmon. My selection. Al dente (maybe a little too much?) rigatoni integrated with cubes of salmon, white wine, parsley with a touch of heavy cream (but not creamy) and chili pepper. This pasta dish was executed very well and the combination of flavors with the cream was deep, but didn't weigh me down. The grand finale was the dessert which we shared---Tortino di Gianduia. If you love Hazelnut, this is sure to please. A chocolate hazelnut mousse cake that was not only delicious but light and airy sprinkled on top with a layer of toasted hazelnuts. I should also mention that their cocktails are top notch. Frizzante 75 and The Fall of Rome were absolutely delicious. Felice on Montague is one of many restaurants in their hospitality group. There was not one misstep during our dining experience and visiting on my birthday was a wonderful treat. The staff/team does everything right. If you're familiar, you can relate. If you never visited, I highly recommend--a perfect dining experience that will have you bragging about it.

The food is okay, but nothing was particularly memorable. I came with a larger group and they were able to accommodate (though we did our due diligence and made prior reservations). We ordered lots of appetizers, which honestly was the best served food of the night. Crispy calamari, beautifully prepared bruschetta. The main dishes were okay. I chose a cream pasta, but I do feel like the noodles were boarding Al dente to almost undercooked. Drink were plentiful and good. The ambiance is nice a date night. Overall an okay choice, but am docking some points since food was underwhelming.

I was visiting a friend in the neighborhood--Brooklyn Heights is truly terra incognito--and two nights later, still thinking about that minestrone. It used to be some sort of neighborhood American called The Heights, apparently, and Felice (which happily exists in Manhattan as well), came in and did a massive renovation. It's so unusual to find a restaurant of this scale in any borough, but the corner square footage is enormous, even before the whimsical, romantic, well-lit yurts left over from COVID. They evoke a carousel, which I love. I started eating indoors literally the day it became legal in NYC (9/26/20, as I recall) and was at a bar the night before the second lockdown. I can't stand eating outside in NYC, mostly in agreement with my late father--a World War II bomber pilot: "Animals eat outside. I am not an animal." I'll make an exception for an especially charming courtyard, but if a restaurant's design is beautiful and original, I want to enjoy the decor with my dinner. On a Sunday night in early March around 9:15pm, the place wasn't empty but probably not over 20% occupancy. We were seated at a large corner table with views of the suspended shelving at the bar. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. He picked out a Barolo for my friend that paired well with the sausage papardelle, which was more about the mushrooms than the meat. He spoke with the passion and detail of a sommelier as he rattled off details about the provenance, level of acidity, and vintages. The minestrone came in a large wooden bowl and had to be near a quart. The best minestrone I've ever had, it was full of fresh vegetables and slightly spicy. I also had the chicken liver toast appetizer and the portion was extremely generous for the price. My friend loved his pasta and wine. I didn't have a cocktail so can't speak to the size of drinks but the Yelper complaining about $17 seems not to know that this is just what drinks cost these days. Also, no one who worries about money should buy sparkling or bottled water. I just drink tap, feeling anything else is an affectation. So the woman kvetching about an $11 buck San Pellegrino could easily solve that problem by drinking tap. (Sometimes in LA, where the water is vile, you have to order bottled because the restaurant doesn't filter it properly, but in NYC, there's no need.) I thought the prices were more than fair. Two enormous appetizers both in the mid-to-high teens. Pastas are in low-to-mid 20s. Meat dishes in the 30s. Again, this is just what dinner costs these days and this Tuscan food is truly outstanding. It's a minor point, but I love a restaurant with matchboxes. It's an act of rebellion for an upper middle class man or woman to smoke, particularly in an area with multi-million dollar homes. Brooklyn Heights, at least this part, feels far grander than most of Park Slope (and I don't mean Park Slope-adjacent, which for some reason is now just called Park Slope). A final perk: Brooklyn Heights is convenient for Upper East Siders, especially those of us near the 4 train. You get off at Borough Hall and walk a few blocks and boom, you're in this magical neighborhood, unaware that downtown Brooklyn is right there. (Court Street is still sorta, well, it reminds me of parts of LA with no signage regulation.)

Everything here is Delicious!!! From the salads to the burrata appetizer. I think this is a chain which is not my usual choice but a customer insisted we go and what a happy surprise! Eggplant parmigiana appetizer is the best I've had anywhere out. Also the homemade ravioli was so delicate and luscious. The ambiance is relaxed, very well appointed, homey in fact. I was missing Italy the whole time. Mostly Tuscan wines served. Just a lovely place!! I highly recommend it, and definitely make a reservation.

Phenomenal food, drinks and vibe, especially during the holidays when they setup the igloos with the heating lamps outside. Highly recommend ordering the Rigatoni al Salmone as an entrée if you can handle some spice, and if you can handle some spice, then the Anita drink is for you/pairs nicely if you're not feeling wine. The espresso martini was also good. If you're about dessert, then tiramisu is a great choice. My only tiny complaint is that this restaurant doesn't participate in offering cash back for dining in on the Seated app, like other restaurants in NYC -- hope they join! Use my code alyssa1012 to sign up for Seated -- the app where you earn money back on every meal. Sign up for Seated using my code alyssa1012 and you'll get a $15 bonus after your first meal (and I'll get $15)! https://seated.app.link/dWZASJEoJ3

Hands down the BEST Branzino I've ever had. Like I'm made fun of by my friends with how much I want it for brunch, lunch, dinner, whatever. Also, they make a great martini.

Great location and great ambiance, I had an excellent time with my baby during brunch! Nadira and Giorgio were incredible, made us feel so comfortable. Nadira was so attentive towards my baby I'm so grateful for her kindness. As for the food, The Ricotta and the Arancini were the winners for me, SO GOOD!! 10/10 recommend!! Definitely coming back soon!

Very nice place, amazing and very comforting ambiance. First we started with calamari which was good. I had the cacio e pepe which was very salty but my friends had the lasagna which was very good, my italian friend it was just like her grandmothers. Then we finished with cheesecake which was a very small piece but it was absolutely delectable. Also the staff was very nice and welcoming and patient. It was an overall delightful evening.

Yelp
Obscenely expensive for pedestrian food. Service was attentive and ambiance lovely, though across the board the food was under seasoned and underwhelming. If the arugula salad layered with shingles of parm had dressing we couldn't find it. Bruschetta lacked flavor and finesse. Rigatoni with salmon was completely devoid of seasoning. Carbonara was a bland sludge. Sage ravioli was muddy. Wine and cocktails were nice, but at a price point of low 20s for salads, and mid to upper 20s for pastas, expectations are raised. Maybe it's me, but $250 (inclusive of tip) for salad, pasta and wine for three had better be better than meh. Sadly, this wasn't.

fabulous restaurant!! Cozy, intimate atmosphere. Sat in the outdoor, heated gazebo in winter and it was magical. the pasta was cooked to perfection. we were a group of four and the rigatoni with salmon and pink sauce was savory and creamy. The carbonara was authentic, with perfectly cooked panceta. We shared a Taglieri (charcuterie board) with fresh olives, Gorgonzola and prosciutto, crostini and more. Then the desserts were confections of my dreams!! The tiramisu was light and fluffy, and the hazelnut chocolate cake had just the right amount of sweetness and real hazelnuts on top. This is now my go to restaurant!

I called to reserve a table and someone answered in a sweet tone and informed that multiple tables are free and I could come in anytime. I told her I will arrive in ten minutes and it shouldn't be a big deal. Upon arrival with my date, the host gave us a snarky look... and told us immediately that all the tables were full and we have to go to the bar. My date told him that we had a table reserved because we called 20 minutes ago then he looked through his system or (book I couldn't tell) then took us to our table. We had a nice waitress and they were really attentive with our water. The food was delicious and the restaurant is so beautiful. It's just that I noticed this host gave better treatment to different clients/customers. For instance he took off the jackets of these two older white gentlemen and asked them repeatedly how their day was, while he gave us the cold shoulder and never once spoke to us... even when he went around most tables asking them how their meal was. Overall the food was great but I hated how I felt unwelcome. I don't think I wanna come back because of that unfortunately.

If you look at my history -- I don't leave bad reviews. This experience was so poor that I did feel the need to warn others. I'm giving it two stars because the food was fine (not one star quality, but not five star quality) and the support staff was great at clearing dishes and such. Our issue was with our main server -- who left a poor taste in our mouth after trying to enjoy a Christmas Eve dinner. My husband and I made these reservations over a month in advance, and were so excited for a nice holiday meal. From the second we sat down, things got rough. I was debating between two cocktails and asked her if she could explain the two so I could decide, she said she didn't like one of them and recommended the other -- not exactly what I asked. I get she doesn't like one, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't. I was hoping for descriptions of flavor profiles rather than just saying she didn't like the drink. Whatever, not a big deal. We ordered the charcuterie and it was dropped at the table without a word. We had this massive cutting board of all these meats and cheeses without having any idea of what we were eating. I asked someone who thought the bread what everything was, she smiled and walked away. I had to flag our waitress down and she didn't know what it was. She got her floor manager and she didn't know what one of the meats was either. If you're going to have charcuterie on your menu -- be able to describe it to your guests on what they're eating. I finished my cocktail and left it on the edge of the table waiting for her to come back and ask if I wanted another drink. I waited over 15 minutes and nothing. We had to call over a separate waiter to ask for a glass of wine, which was brought out another 15 minutes later. We ordered five courses and not once did our waitress check in on us to ask us how things were, if we needed anything. The worst part -- was the whole time she was standing six feet away just staring at the floor and gossiping with other coworkers. We also heard what I assume was the GM getting upset at his staff for napkin folds. I get it, you want it done right, but that shouldn't be done on the floor. Between all the chit chat of staff and that -- it came across as extremely unprofessional. When we spend hundreds of dollars on a meal, especially on a holiday, we expect good service. The only redeeming quality was the person who was so on top of clearing all our plates. Otherwise, it was hard to enjoy our food without feeling like we literally had to go to the bar/kitchen ourselves to get anything we wanted. I will note -- my husband and I are in our 20s. The clientele is much older. We were dressed much more casual than anyone. I do feel like we were left to the side for other patrons assuming we were young people who weren't going to spend money. On the contrary -- my husband is the general manager of a James Beard nominated restaurant and we are both service industry veterans. Even the most terrible meal can be made alright with good service -- but in this case, a fine meal was made terrible with awful service. I hate that we spent our Christmas Eve feeling neglected and spending so much money on a place that clearly doesn't have a proper wait staff to take care of the guests. Super bummed :(

Wish I could give 3.5 stars. For $17, the cocktails are unacceptably bad. I had an old fashioned, and my friend had an Anita, both of which were uninspired and not mixed well (old fashioned was watery, muddled cherry was all trapped at the bottom). To charge above market rate for bad cocktails just put a bad taste in my mouth. I went to Ci Siamo in Manhattan the following night, ordered two cocktails at that same price point, and was completely wowed by both. The pasta was tasty (especially the gnocchi), the space was beautiful, and the service was fine. I admit my rating is probably biased a bit low by the cocktails, but drinks set the tone for the meal and are unfortunately what I remember most from my visit to Felice.

The servers very nice and quick with service. Very considerate and checked on us multiple times! The seating are was really nice, a bit tight tho. The food itself was very yummy definitely one of the best pastas I've had. Would recommend a visit. We also tried the tiramisu, and it was delicious!!!

Extremely mediocre food in an area filled with far better Italian options options. Ordered Bolognese, Carbonara, and Pappardelle con Salsiccia. Bolognese was ok, but not super flavorful and the other two had weird aftertaste and overcooked pasta. On the positive side, portions were quite large. Place was very understaffed and service providers were nice, but clearly too overburdened to provide adequate service. Reminds me of some tourist trap Italian joint you would find by Time Square. Way too expensive for what it is, especially since Carol Garden's legendary red sauce district is so close by.

Came here for brunch on a super rainy Sunday! It was still early so the place was pretty empty which was perfect as we had a toddler with us! The staff was super accommodating and let us customize our order to something child friendly! Food tasted fresh and not overly heavy! The complimentary bread and olive oil was also a nice touch ;) Would def come back to try their dinner menu!

An excellent restaurant! We were greeted and taken care of and the presentation and service of food was great ! The Mediterranean Sea bass was above perfectly done and mussels and that bread OMG so delicious served on a small bread plate with olive oil . We will definitely be going back and we live nearby , we have seen many places come and go. Keep doing a great job and stay for a long time .

We've been dining here regularly and it's been our go-to in the neighborhood. An excellent bar (and bartenders! - the spicy margarita is my favorite!), and an excellent menu. The carciofi (Roman artichoke) & calamari appetizer is an excellent way to kick off the meal. My favorite dishes are the pappardella with sausage, the chicken pizzaiola, salon and the roasted branzino. There are specials each night as well. For dessert, we're usually torn between the tiramisu and the torta di mele (deconstructed apple pie with freshly made whipped cream). Excellent capuccino as well! Nino is the manager and very gracious host, and waiters Enrique and Kevin are super friendly and make you feel at home. We are so glad they have helped rescue the restaurant scene on Montague Street !

The receptionist is very impolite. We went there yesterday and we asked nicely for a table for 2 people. She just got mad instantly for no reason and she said "why do you talk to me like that". She just ignored us even we ask again. Bad service!! We didn't know what was going on. We will never go there again!!

At a glance: decent food. Horrible service. I was excited to try this place as the menu looked great, and they had tons of outdoor dining space. While the food was very good, the service was horrible, and enough to make me not come back. For whatever reason, it took 30 minutes for our drinks to make it to our table (for reference: I ordered wine - and for $16, the pour was less than half a small wine glass, so don't order the wine). When we ordered a second round of drinks, they showed up when we got the check. Honestly couldn't believe they even charged us for the second round, seeing as how we were ready to go. We were seated outside next to the main door and the outside server station, so the fact that we were basically ignored for our whole meal surprised me. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone even came to check in on us, and once done, our server only appeared maybe twice throughout the two hours we were there (and we were only there for two hours because of how long everything took). This place gets two stars because the food really was delicious, but zero stars for service and care. Yikes.

Food was good, but nothing special. Service was really slow, inattentive staff. Had to constantly get their attention. Took way to long to have lunch. Would not go back.

Review for the bar and bartender. Meh. We felt like an inconvenience. We'd already had dinner, bit were drawn to the lights inside. We sat down and said hello. No response. So we waited for a greeting. And waited. And waited. All we wanted was a wine menu. It was handed to us 7.3 minutes later. With no smile. So, we left and wandered back to Custom House. We were treasured there like family.

Amazing service. We had the crostini toscani. The pate was warm and delicious. We also had the pappardelle con salsiccia, a little rich but served hot and delicious. There was a special for the night, a shrimp pasta that I wish would always be on the menu, excellent!

I ordered the veal Bolognese from the Time out market version of Felice. After hearing so much about this restaurant, I was excited to try it out. But I was really disappointed in the Bolognesi, in particular because of the meat. Veal is meant to be used in Bolognese, so that the tenderness of the meat is balanced with the pasta. But here the meat was in big chunks, not tender and almost stringy. It resembled a bison Bolognese that I had once. I'm not sure if they're actually not using veal or if they're just destroying the meat in the cooking process. I hope to try the rest of the menu soon.

Not a good Sunday brunch experience at Felice today! The host was not very welcoming, which set the tone for the rest of the meal. They made a mistake with my coffee order and had to redo it. (The waiter had repeated back to us what we ordered to confirm, so it wasn't a case of a misunderstanding.) The side of bacon we ordered did not arrive until after two out of the three of us had finished our meals. The breakfast sandwich I ordered came with mixed greens on the side, but the greens were not dressed. When I asked the waiter if I could get some dressing because it was bland, he said it came without dressing, but he could get me some. (Tip for future: if you know it doesn't come with dressing, why not ask people if they'd like some when they're ordering? We are not rabbits. Who wants to eat a handful of bland, un-dressed lettuce unless they have dietary restrictions?) We live nearby and have been to Felice for dinner numerous times, when the service has always been great. Today's brunch experience was disappointing. At this price point, I expect better service (and tastier food), so we won't be coming here for brunch anymore.

Grew up next door to their 64th St location so I was surprised to see Felice pop up in Brooklyn Heights where I've been living for 7 years. Immediately loved the location and the outdoor seating options. Really nice spot in tranquil BK Heights! The staff is so incredibly kind, professional and attentive. Couldn't ask for better service. I believe I was served by a gentleman named George, made me feel like an instant regular which is always nice. The hostess Amy was also a delight and special shoutout to the manager Julien who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome...to the point where me and my friends have come back 3 times in 10 days. The food is amazing, I don't remember what we ordered but there was a cheese and charcuterie plate that was INCREDIBLE. A truffle parmesan pizza/flatbread that was DIVINE, olives, pickled things, quality bread...all just delicious. For drinks we had prosecco, beer and wine, all of which hit the spot We also came here for desert and tried 4 different cakes: Tiramisù, Torta al Cioccolato, Prinipessa, Panna Cotta...it was a spiritual experience. The tiramisu is comparable with tiramisu I've had in northern Italy! Came here for drinks, came here for a snack, came here for desert and will come here for lunch/brunch. Trying to convince my partner to make it a weekly ritual.

I found the food underwhelming and the prices above market without a justification. For instance, a bottle of San Pellegrino cost $11 whereas at the restaurant Bevacco in the same neighborhood (which has better food) it cost $8.

Stopped by here on Saturday coming from dumbo after seeing some good reviews on here and we were not disappointed. We had a few apps while sitting at the bar (the aranchini and almond ricotta crostini were amazing) and some delicious wine. We didn't have a ton of time so we are already planning on coming back to have a full dinner as everything looked amazing so will update this review with pics and more details then. The complimentary bread included this delicious (and warm!) olive bread which was yum! Shout out to Julian (I think he was the manager) for his amazing hospitality.

Nice Setting, European Style, Good Service, Delicious Food. My Pasta Carbonara was delicious, The salad was excellent, My wife's Rigatoni Al Salmon was very tasty, but a little skimpy on the Salmon. We had wine, sat outdoors on a nice late summer, early fall evening. Very comfortable, table a little cramped and tight but still comfortable. We were with Good Company and had an excellent meal.

Came here after an event nearby and were so happy we discovered this place by accident. We sat and ate at the bar and the bartender was spectacular. So friendly. We got a couple of pastas to share and they were both delicious. This place we definitely want to come back to

Came here yesterday for brunch, and it was great! The ambiance is lovely and the food and drinks are really good. The flavors of the carbonara blended for savory goodness and the salmon tartare was fresh and tasty. The unexpected star of the show, however, was the hot chocolate. It was SO GOOD. Not too sweet, the taste of the cocoa was able to shine through, and the dollop of cream on top complemented the richness perfectly.

Exciting news... Felice is now open for lunch Tuesday through Friday. Felice is our place to go for intimate, dinners, family celebrations, and connecting with friends. They serve totally delicious food beautifully presented. They have an amazing staff that goes the extra mile and charming ambience.... making this our favorite restaurant. All this and now they are open for lunch.

made reservations here a few days in advance with the note that it's for a date night. Had a lovely and comfortable seating available for us, and it was such a delight. The hostess was incredibly warm and welcoming ! She had such a good vibe to her and the waiters were patient and friendly. The food was also so delicious. I truly never experienced such a warm welcome from staff in a restaurant. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.
