Osteria Radisa

I’ve been here twice in the past two weeks because the first time was so amazing we had to return for more! Besides the food being immaculate we also really enjoyed the service and the overall design of the establishment. Can’t wait to go back again!

I had an amazing dinner with friends. Food was impeccably plated, and very filling. A great place to go where you can have delicious and original fine dining Italian and not have to break the bank. The atmosphere is luxurious, staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I cannot wait to come here for brunch during the daytime with all the light shining in!

Perfect cozy-chic spot to sit casual at the bar or at a table for a long delicious meal. Staff was super relaxed (especially for a place that just opened), no rushing, no pretentiousness, just friendly service with really good food, presented beautifully. Just what the neighborhood needs!! Great selections for appetizers, we wanted the entire menu, everything we had was perfection. The ramp ravioli, the special seared tuna.. Loved how the fish was served with lots of greens! Cocktails we're on point, bartender was flexible and made something off menu that was perfect, nice wines we tried a few!

Amazing!!! Top tier food and drinks. Words can't express how amazing the manfrigoli with mussels, clams, and shrimp tasted. I am still thinking of it as I write this review. The balance of flavors was *chef's kiss*. Perfect 10! The branzino was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The menu is seasonal which offers an array of options. A very thought out menu indeed. I am looking forward to my return to this gem!!

We had a great time with our puppy (outdoor seating, therefore dog friendly). Plating and presentation was fabulous, we wolfed down the salad before I remembered to take a picture. Great service and good (wine) pairing options. We went with our waiters recommendation for main dishes and they did not disappoint. I loved the dessert too despite having eaten way too much by dessert.

High quality Italian food and wine. Well balanced and based on superb ingedience. Will for sure be a neighborhood classic.

A Perfect Saturday Brunch at Osteria Radisa I was wandering around Carroll Gardens on a Saturday morning and stumbled upon the gorgeous butter-yellow facade of Osteria Radisa. Expressing my curiosity about the restaurant, I was welcomed by the friendly staff and offered a seat at the bar while I perused the menu. The bartender introduced themselves to me by name, making me feel right at home and more than welcome. You could tell the servers and staff enjoyed working there as much as the patrons enjoyed eating there. It wasn’t overly busy, but the energy in the restaurant was reminiscent of my own breakfast table growing up with a big family. Bright, warm, vivacious, and full of love. That loving energy continued as I considered the menu with my server. After telling her I wanted a combo of sweet and savory, she made her recommendations. The Bombolocini basket with cherry marmaletta for my sweet tooth, the Parma Cotto Benedict as my true meal, and then after expressing my love for giardiniera to my server — she said I MUST try their potato salad. I was sold. The bartender made me a perfect cappuccino, which paired delightfully with the bombolocini that came out hot and FRESH. Mini donuts with the perfect cherry marmelleta to cut through the sweetness with bright flavor. I was already blissful, enjoying my treat and my coffee, and I thought this can’t get any better. But then it did. The most gorgeous plate of Eggs Benedict arrived before me. I am VERY particular about my Benedict, specifically when the hollaondaise is just… not right. That was not the case at Radisa. A beautifully buttery and light hollandaise encased the perfectly poached egg atop a GENEROUS pile of salty and yummy Parma cotto. But the pièce de résistance is the house made ciabatta it all towers on top of. The perfect, warm and crispy, but SO soft on the inside ciabatta pulled this perfect Benedict together and I was in heaven. Finally, the CRISPY potatoes on the side became my ideal vehicle to scoop up the incredible Giardiniera potato salad. Just when I thought I may have ordered a bit too heavy for brunch, I took a refreshing bite of the herby salad on the side and my palate was cleansed and ready for more, more, more. There were so many perfect things about my meal. I certainly had leftovers to bring home from their generous portions (which I find can be hard to come by in the city sometimes!) I can’t wait to bring friends with me next time so I can get to try and enjoy even more on their menu. Particularly their dinner menu which my server was kind enough to give me a look at. Overall, the experience is what makes it special. It has the look, design, and service of upscale fine dining, but the feel was that of a family restaurant. And I felt right at home. ❤️

A new restaurant and we had a wonderful time. All the food was excellent but the table loved the ravioli and the peach salad. Very pleasant to eat outside for the first time this spring.

This is the best addition to Brooklyn this year! Probably even NYC! In a city of overwhelmingly trendy and overrated Italian restaurants, you will be so glad to have come here. Wine list is perfection. Cocktails? Perfection. Food?!? I have never eaten any Italian food like this before. The service is knowledgeable and warm. The owners are the best! They also own Aita - which I've frequented for years. Just go here and try it for yourself.

Popped by for dinner on a Friday. Called ahead to led them know we were running a bit late, and when we arrived they had moved our reservation and put us outside. Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded and the host got us a table inside. The frito misto was amazing! Highly recommend, definitely some of the best calamari I've had in a while in terms of quality. Additionally the tagliatelle was also great, you can really taste the fresh handmade pasta. They also served it with some extra bolognese sauce which we used all of. The ravioli verde was disappointing, didn't really taste any of the chives and garlic scapes--kinda just gave green ravioli. And the baby onions were also okay, not amazing, but not bad. Was overall a good meal, but definitely didn't wow with all the dishes.

In a neighborhood where the Italian fare is only outnumbered by dogs and strollers, this new restaurant provides a unique perspective. With rustic style - they're creating delicious dishes "a la Romangnola". We started with the Asparagus and the Squash Blossoms. The asparagus was prepared in a way I had never seen. In a cucumber milk gazpacho-like sauce with diced green tomato and granny smith apple. The dish was light and refreshing with a subtle savory flavor that left us wanting more. The blossoms were perfectly prepared and stuffed with sheep ricotta. Placed in a delicious sauce that complimented the blossoms, for a well balanced explosion of flavor. Oh! My cocktail! Close to being the star of the night. If not for being overshadowed by my main dish (more on that soon). I ordered the "Never For Money". The base was a coconut-washed ginebra gin mixed with, dry vermouth, pomelo, calamansi and basil. The first sip left me dazed and confused. In a good way! Then I proceeded to drink the rest of it way too fast. It was a mixture of sweet, mild spice and creamy citrus. Expertly designed. I want another! For my main course I had the Cappellacci. This was also a new form of pasta for me. Shaped like tiny pouches. Filled with beef cheek, served with brown beech mushrooms in a "fonduta di parmigiano". That's Italian for the-best-damn parmigiano! A welcomed addition to the neighborhood! We look forward to going back. One note on ambience would be the lighting and possibly the music. I feel the lighting was a bit on the dark side. Especially behind the bar and in the larger dining space. And the music, while it was just 80's and 90's classics (which I appreciate) I feel a more Italian or euro vibe would add to the overall feel and experience of being transported to the Romagna region of Italy. Service was great!

We had a fantastic time at the 4-day old Osteria Radisa. For being a new restaurant, they were pretty full and executed remarkably well. We got a cocktail, the braised greens, two pasta dishes, and the tiramisu for dessert. The drink was basically their version of a martini or a vesper and came with a sidecar. The braised greens almost reminded me of saag and was a good portion size. Our first pasta was recommended by our server (who we found out was also the owner!) which was cappellacci with beef cheek and mushrooms. I wish I had gotten a photo because this was one of the best dishes I've had in a longgggg long time. The sauce/broth was fantastic. The tagliatelle was served with a super traditional ragu which was definitely a comfort food. It could've used more olive oil, but lucky for us, they have bottles of oil at the table so we were able to top it off with more. The tiramisu was good enough that my full partner found it in him to still eat half lol. Service is on the slow side but it was a lovely evening and we enjoyed every bite. We'd happily return!

Absolutely phenomenal and cozy spot! The service, food, and attention to detail were fantastic. Highly recommend the ramps ravioli!

Fantastic find here in Carroll Gardens - creative and light dishes and high quality. Exceptional service, beautiful patio and acoustics are good! Highly recommend.

Incredible. Everything we ate was perfect. The wine pairing was excellent and the ambience was elevated but not stuffy.

Great new restaurant on Smith! We tried a few small plates & a couple pastas ...everything was fresh and had great flavors.

Well? I am not as enthused about Osteria Radisa as the yelp* community. I Popped in one evening and I grabbed a bar stool. The space is very handsome, and the crowd very hip. I began with Squash Blossoms. They were tasty and refreshing. My Pasta course was another story. The Chef took Pasta, Clams, Mussels and Shrimp and then pureed everything and placed it in a bowl. This was a mistake. Wines by the glass were expensive and bad. My bill was $96. I am leaving a generous four star review, but have no plans to return.
