Ringolevio

We came for early lunch. The prosciutto sandwich was extremely good. The matcha latte did not have enough matcha. All I tasted was milk. Sofa needs a vacuum. Lots of hair.

I just want to say thank you so much for offering, completely reusable glassware, dishware, silverware. It makes the atmosphere here even more cozy and inviting than you can imagine. I love being able to support a local, lovely business while also supporting the environment, and not creating new, needless plastic pollution in the process. I wish that more cafés and bars would follow your lead! Thank you for being an environmental example. Love this place!

Passed by this hidden gem on our walk home from a Facebook market find. Had a sign out front advertising Sunday breakfast (open at 8am). The inside was cozy and eclectic. Had a great selection of food, slightly limited breakfast but what they did have was great! We had the ham and cheese croissant and the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. 11/10 for taste!! Also got an iced latte and cappuccino which were both delicious. Dog friendly! We sat outside in the back in the huge outdoor patio. Have a feeling this place will be poppin’ during the summer time. Will definitely be coming back!

TERRIBLE service! Food was decent but there was only one waitress taking orders, clearing tables, AND making drinks (complicated cocktails too)! She did a fantastic job but naturally could not keep up with how understaffed it was. She was tending to 50+ people on her own. Need better staffing.

Back patio is its own world in the best way. Spend an afternoon out there drinking cocktails in the sun. Ample comfy couches to cozy up on inside (and out) when the night falls.

Great place to pregame before a Brooklyn Steel show.

Casual place where you seat yourself. I came here for dinner- had the kale caesar salad, mushroom tagliatelle, and spinach ravioli bolognese. All were really good- especially the the mushroom tagliatelle! My only complaint is that there was a small piece of paper/cardboard in the tagliatelle??? I chewed on it and spit it out. Nice assortment of board games as well, although no room on the tables to play and eat at the same time.

One of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn. The food and service is always on point. The best part about this place is that you can decide if you want to dine in the front dining area or in the back lounge area which is much more comfortable and usually has live music during the week.

I came here around 9am on a Saturday for coffee. The cafe is huge with tons of indoor and outdoor seating- couches, chairs, you name it! I sat outside on the patio. I ordered an almond milk cappuccino, which was good. It seems like it would be a great cafe to come with a group of friends to hang out.

Ambiance: 10/10 Food: 2/10 Ringolevio is a GREAT spot to gather with some friends for a drink and chat. There's a huge outdoor seating space and the whole place is such a vibe. However, I would not recommend this place for actual good food. I visited and got 2 dishes -- lasagna and a burger -- which were arguably some of the worst dishes I've had in the city. The lasagna tasted... strange? It tasted like a fragrance -- almost perfume or flower like? It just wasn't what you want from a lasagna. It was picture perfect.... but sadly deceiving. The burger just had no flavor. A bit of seasoning on the beef and cooking it a bit less would do wonders. Also we asked for onions on it and they said they didn't have any which was fine but just strange. We had tater tot's on the side which were great, the best part of the meal! I'm not sure if it was just a bad day, or if this place should truly just be considered for drinks and not good, but either way I left feeling so disappointed.

Great vibes, great food! I really enjoyed their outdoor seating area -- especially when the suns out. The bartender was a little impatient with my group which is understandable. Still, I would've liked to see slightly better service. I can't complain about food. Everything rocked, especially the tater tots. - AD

Went there to work during the day. There are so many spots to sit at. It's a cozy environment. The wifi works well. I ordered the blueberry matcha latte which was yummy. My friend got the empanada which she said was just okay. The drinks came out quickly. Make sure to ask for a stamp card! (10th drink is free.)

All my friends food came and they completely forgot my order. They did not offer to comp it or give us free drinks to make up for it or anything. The only reason I'm not giving it one star was because our poor server was serving tables, taking orders at the bar, and making drinks. I believe I saw her tearing up too.

What a gem! The inside is like being in your own living room-- so cozy with a bar, couches, and tables. Service was very attentive. The cheese was incredible as were the crossitini plates. I cannot wait to go back. Awesome place to stop for drinks and appetizers before a show at Brooklyn Steel.

A cozy restaurant that genuinely feels like your having dinner in a vintage decorated living room. Absolutely love the aesthetic, the vibe , flavorful food and the attentive service. We came here to grab a dinner and let me tell you it did not disappoint. We started off with the Burrata with Tomato which was perfect , love the creaminess of the burrata. Next we ordered the Vegetarian Lasagna which was so flavorful and for being vegetarian it still had a hearty feel to it without the meat . Also ordered the Handmade Tagliatelle with Broccoli Rabe and Crumbled Sausage, this is a must try if you come here. I literally devoured this entire plate , the crumbled sausage tossed with the broccoli was so incredibly good, and trust me this is plenty to share with another person but you won't want to haha. We really enjoyed this hidden gem of a restaurant and I can't wait to come back again for some more delicious good food.

Cozy vibes, yummy food (if a little pricey) and delicious drinks. The bartender in the front area was an absolute delight.

I came here for coffee in the morning and it had great ambience with plenty of seating. The seating options are more comfortable than most coffee shops- couches, cushioned chairs with backs, etc. Charming decor and good coffee. It seems like it would be a cool bar come nighttime

Happen to stumble upon this little spot due to the original place I was going to eat at being closed for vacation. Not too bad of a place. Cute. Cozy. Chose to sit outside. Small area. But nice. I ordered the handmade mixed mushroom tagliatelle. Which I have to say came out pretty quickly!! I mean in a matter of less than 10 minutes of me ordering it. The flavors of it were really good. Nice amount of garlic. But I found it to be ALOT of mushrooms compared to the amount of pasta. It also looked as if my plate wasn't totally full! Like it was missing some pasta. Or maybe I'm just greedy. Lol I also ordered a blood orange margarita which was cute. A little short glass. But just the right amount of alcohol. Overall good spot. Glad I happened to come across it.

We came here dinner after an event and the interior decor def captured my attention. There's really just few tables thats indoors where you can sit at a table and eat and the rest is mainly couches where you can sit and enjoy a drink. There are plenty of outdoor seatings that's available. We sat inside at a table where there is an electric fireplace at the bottom of the table which is pretty cool. We order the Meat and cheese plates (Jamon Serrano, Prosciutto Di Parma and Stracchino) which came with a side order of toasted bread as appetizer and the Spinach Ravioli and Handmade Tagliatelle Bolognese as entrees. My favorite is definitely the meat and cheese plate, I can eat it all day! Def recommend visiting if you're in the area!

They serve coffee, pastries, and sandwiches in the morning/ afternoon. Great spot to relax!

Stopped here by chance with a few friends after seeing a sign on the corner saying there would be cocktails & dreams! I loved the relaxed, inviting atmosphere & the cocktails were divine. Staff was super sweet & the ambiance as a whole was just on point! Cannot wait to have cocktails here again soon!

I LOVE this place. My first visit today; I had an amazing Americano, absolutely wonderful Turkey (fresh), Brie, Dijon on a fresh baguette, an outstanding linzer torte cookie. This is a great place, will be back!

I so very much want to give them five stars, but service was just so bad. Besides our waitress who sucked and the lack of milk options, everything else was a standout. First of all, this place is so trippy and weird. I love weird! I've never seen anything else like it. It's also empty on Sundays - prime brunch time - but it doesn't feel empty. It's so chill and funky and quiet enough for conversations. There's couches, chairs, bar space, and outdoor seating. Second, food is fantastic. I got the spinach and goat cheese omelette. It's huge and delicious. They didn't skimp on either ingredient. Happily replaced the potatoes with more greens too. Shoutout to the coffee that was not bitter at all, but not watered down either. They only had whole milk available, so that was a tiny letdown. I'm all about my almond milk. Get with it, Ringolevio, you're in Brooklyn and this isn't 2001. Everyone else loved their dishes. They got lasagnas, mushroom omelettes, steak and eggs, etc. We got cake, pumpkin pie, and this flan-like dessert too. Liked it all, but the pumpkin pie was awesome. I love my pumpkin pie cold and smooth, and it was just like how I like. Our waitress was the only damper. She was extremely slow, unfriendly, and spilled stuff, too. So come here if you're not time-crunched and be mesmerized by a very special place.

This is a MUS! If you're in the Williamsburg or greenpoint area- a place not overrun by tourists! This is a place unlike any other ... their food is outmoded this world. Seriously though it is caters to everyone's needs. I would chose this place as either a spot to pregame before a concert at Brooklyn Steele Or could see myself having my wedding here. The service is unbelievable. Have had many a friend host a party here and couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome. Flora and David are MIND-READERS!

We had a solid brunch at Ringolevio, getting a couple staples that were well done. The chicken & waffles is prepared differently than many places: The chicken is battered/fried breast and it's sandwiched in waffles with...slaw!? The slaw worried me, but shockingly it might have ended up being my favorite part of the dish..really well done. The chicken and waffles themselves were solid though not spectacular. The french toast skewers were really good as well, with the flavoring in the bread being very good yet not overwhelming, with plenty of fruit. The coffee and tea were both good, though we didn't imbibe any alcohol beverages this trip. A solid neighborhood brunch spot.

Brunch review only and it's pretty sad. Chicken and waffles were pretty disgusting. Waffles were soggy and tasteless. Chicken is chicken breast strips, which were dry and drenched in a hot sauce. Got scrambled eggs on the side and they don't even know how to make scrambled eggs... It's not fluffy and broken into a million little pieces. Service was extremely slow.

In a corner nook, off the BQE, is a great hideaway that is Ringolevio. I remember a few years back in it's inception when the garage and back garden didn't exist. I'm proud to see the growth of the establishment to not only still offer great service with quality staff and food but keep the intimacy when you enjoy a great cocktail with friends. I recommend the muscles and the vegetarian lasagna. The portion sizes are generous and one you can share over a glass of their great selection of wine. I'm a red guy, but either/or, you can't go wrong with what they have. Be ready for The energy and look inside as it will feel like dream that makes no sense but makes every bit of sense. Forget the traditional and same 'ol, chairs and tables to eat and talk. But expect a mosh posh of couches, love seats that makes you feel like you're in a cozy venue to watch your best friend perform at their garage with dimly lit lights and Knick knacks decorations everywhere. Go there for a date or with your friends and enjoy the experience!

It has been more than 3 years that I am a customer there. It has been more than a year that we have issues with the service, servers have an attitude. We received several time our steak not cook as asked and needed to send it back. Last Sunday I asked a lasagna to start with, I received it with the Entree 45min later! For 3 years they were offering a bottomless mimosa(unofficial), last Sunday they brang us mimosas when our glasses was empty without us ordering but they billed us the mimosas! When we explain to the server they offer us 2 mimosas! We were 6! They said they did not recognize us so we had to pay the mimosas! You should have warn us that it changed. They fixed the problem and contacted us!

Come here for: -AMAZING outdoor seating -The spacious bar in the back -The cocktails! -charcuterie Ringolevio is a hidden gem. I highly recommend coming here for a lunch, dinner, or tapas vibe. From the front, this place looks small. There's a cute bar and dining area. However, once you go in and walk towards the back, there's an entire other room with a bar, couches, and plenty of seating. This place is great for groups, since you won't feel like you're literally sitting on top of each other like most places in nyc. They also have a great charcuterie and tapas menu perfect for sharing. Most of their cocktails range from $8-$13, and they are good! The food (big portions!) isn't over $20. I recommend their spicy margarita and the steak. But really, you can't go wrong with most of the things here.

I love this place! Vibes are so good, bartender is so nice. They have great sandwhiches in the morning and little pastries and then the atmosphere changes to a bar at night!

We came here before a concert and enjoyed great outdoor seating. The atmosphere is very fitting for Williamsburg including fun bookshelves and art outside. The menus were in old composition notebooks. I had the spinach ravioli in a tomato sauce. Ringolevio makes their own pasta and this was evident in this dish. The homemade raviolis were decilous and the sauce was made fresh. They had lots of tapas and dishes that would be good to share. Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner here and plan on coming back next time I'm in the area!

Pretty good crinkly fries and a side of broccoli rabe, longish wait, grossly inadequate ketchup quantity.

Food is alway amazing and super special- my fave is the vegetarian lasagna - and I'm not even vegetarian. Ambiance is awesome- super tucked away spot but really great place when u wanna hang out with a large group.

Sort of like a hipster idea of what a rustic but upscale Italian restaurant should be, except that they do EVERY SINGLE THING right - all the food was delicious, drinks perfect, good vibes, lighting, tone, mood .... on a freezing winter day, you will feel warmed up & happy here....maybe some better music though (old school jazz)........

Ringolevio is a true star when it comes to Italian/Meditterranean cuisine in Brooklyn and for that matter, New York City. With Italian restaurants, you get all sorts of interpretations to classics and while does that, Ringolevio makes the food the number one priority. It is in an area of Greenpoint you wouldn't expect such a restaurant would be since it's in more of a residential area. There isn't much foot traffic so they're closed for lunch which is a bummer but weekend brunch and weeknight dinners are so on. The crostini across the board are all excellent. There 7 to choose from and you can get all 6 for $16 or 3 for$ 9. Both times I've been here I've ordered the crostini to share with my friend I can tell you the artichoke hearts with shaved parmesan and parsley is absolutely delicious. Second favorite would the breasola, gorgonzola, and almond one. Simple quality ingredients and they all resonate in a bite. Honestly just try them all because they're all great. As for the mains, the meat lasagna with bolognese sauce is mouthwateringly good. The pasta is cooked to perfection (as all their dishes are) and the bolognese is rich but doesn't way you down. The special that I had with tagliatelle, broccoli rabe, and Italian sausage was just as good. Bitter, spicy, cheesy. Did I mention the prices here are on point? For the value and quality of the dishes, I can only imagine if Ringolevio was in Manhattan instead of Brooklyn. The service here is also great and both times I've received some dessert wine on the house. It's a medium-sized restaurant and its more compact with the decor but there are flourishes of Italian modernism and rustic countryside dark woods. It's best for small groups no larger than four due to its size. Ringolevio is a must try if you're in the area and want a fantastic dinner. They won't let you down. Happy eating and remember: Don't deny, satisfy!

They deliver during Covid-19. Wanting to support my local restaurants, and having a hankering for a classic Bolognese pasta, I ordered delivery on Yelp. Ringolevio did not disappoint. This was a heaping portion of linguine with very good meat sauce. I opened my own bottle of calx primitivo and had a nice party for two (me with my dog). The sautéed spinach was perfect with nice big chunks of fresh garlic. Delivery guy friendly. Yes you'll pay a little extra for delivery but in this case who wants to spend 8 hours stirring a Bolognese sauce like Nonna? P.S. I'm convinced this restaurant is secretly owned by Ringo Starr

Posted a pick of me cooking the uncooked chicken sent as part of my meal that arrived less than 20 mins after I ordered. I'm no chef but I know it takes more than that time to cook chicken well and to deliver. I got pink chicken for extra $6. First and last time I order from here.

Wow - what an excellent find in Williamsburg! If you happen to be roaming around Williamsburg Brooklyn or are checking out a concert at Brooklyn Steel, stop in to this very hip and cool place on Humboldt street. They have excellent drinks, amazing service and tasty food ... Mediterranean Tapas style.

Don't come for brunch. Come for great scene, and drinks. The basil lemonade and the Bloody Mary were great. Breakfast menu was ok. We were kind of lame and just got a salad and yogurt parfait (not bad honestly ) maybe I should've had the chicken and waffles though... The peccorino, manchego, and Gouda cheese plate left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't recommend those. Really small portions for too much $ No words will do justice to HOW cool this place is so I'll just upload pics. This spot seems way cooler for evenings.

Brunch here is awesome!!! I usually always come during the nighttime. But we had some friends in town last Sunday and remembered they serve breakfast. The staff was so happy and polite as always(not always easy to find in bk), the decor was beautiful (we sat in the outside patio filled with beautiful plants and eclectic design) and the food was fantastic (all my friends raved about their dishes, but I am now obsessed with their smoked salmon eggs Benedict). Incredibly delicious!!! Do yourself a favor and check this place out for brunch!!!

This place was amazing, a hidden gem and will 100% be coming back. I went there a few weeks back. The outdoor area is so pretty and spacious and finding a seat was not an issue when we went on a Sunday night. The waiters were laid back. If you sit in the main garden, you order at the bar vs with a waiter and I think it's meant to be more self service in the garden but despite this we still had a waiter to deliver our drinks, he even took our dinner order and he was super attentive. I wasn't expecting that so it was a nice surprise. I wasn't sure about this place because I thought it may be more of a bar but the food was absolutely amazing and holds up on its own. Like so good! I got the bolognase pasta. So good. And my partner got ravioli in a white sauce (if I remember correctly - He loved it but I preferred my own). The drinks and wine were on point too. Such a nice evening.

Great place ! I've been there a few times and it's always great ! Everything I tried there was really good ! Crostinis, Benedict eggs, steak, everything ! And the place is just amazing ! Would highly recommend !

What a great restaurant. The interior is great and it has an outside lounge and eating area that is amazing. We started off with the mussels. They were unbelievable. The white wine sauce was tasty. For dinner I had the skirt steak. It was delicious. The cocktails I had were great. The service was great. Brandon was informative and attentive.

Went here for dinner with a friend, we saw the place from outside and wanted to give it a try. I had the kale salad with the shrimp as an appetizer which was delicious, the kale and shrimp were both tasty and crunchy. As a main course i had the fish of the day with potatoes and spinach, which had a very clean taste. I didn't want to have anything heavy so i think i ordered the right dish. My friend however had the hand made pasta with ham and pork which was outstanding, tasteful, with a great combination of ingredients, i tasted his and wanted to take the plate away from him. Will definitely come back and get the pasta all for me this time. The place overall was pretty chill and romantic with seating outside and a band which was playing when we got there.

Went here for dinner last night with my mom who is in from out of town. Ambiance is beautiful and staff very friendly. But beware -- any menu item with "roasted rosemary potatoes" is actually fried potatoes, basically glorified french fries in square form. No rosemary at all. Pretty disappointing, especially for someone trying to stay away from fried foods. Management should address this. We both ordered the salmon which was very good.

I'm tempted to leave a lower starred rating only because I'd be sad if it were run amok by crowds. This place, in a word, is phenomenal. The vibe, the music, the food, the service, just all the things! are fantastic. The seafood dishes are delicious as is the gnocchi and the tiramisu will haunt my dreams (in a good way, dear reader) so much so that I will be compelled to return. If you are to venture to this neck of the woods, do yourself a favor, and check out this spot. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing atmosphere, service, drinks, pasta, and meat/cheese plate. But the best part were the Brussel sprouts! We will be coming back here.

Ringolevio definitely has a lot going for it- eccentric atmosphere, great outdoor space, and a plentiful menu. However, my experience fell short in both the service and the food. I came here on a Friday night around 8 PM with a group of friends. We were seated on comfortable couches surrounding a table and I ordered a few items for dinner- (trio of burgers, calamari, and parmesan asparagus). The burgers were quite good but the calamari was average. The asparagus was severely undercooked and hard. While the place was busy, it was extremely hard to get the attention of my server. About 2 hours later, I finally got a hold of my server and asked for the check. My server admittedly had forgot about us completely and could not recall what we had ordered. A bit of a bust of an experience at Ringolevio.

I feel like Ringolevio is that all in one place you didn't know you were looking for. Came here for brunch with a friend and we sat in their enclosed outdoor space, which was very cute. In addition to the outdoor seating area, they have quite the sizeable "chill" area, I imagine for either private parties or for weekend rowdiness. The food was pretty good, got the eggs and a few bloody marys (cause I gotta have my bloody marys do you feel me). My only complaint is that the chairs were a little uncomfortable. Very small and not suited for anything but very small butts.

Took a trip to Brooklyn for my birthday weekend and found this gem on Yelp. We popped in for brunch on Saturday. I had the Panettone French Toast Kabobs and my bf had the Steak and Eggs with Rosemary Potatoes. Everything was amazing! No complaints at all. A really great portion of food for the price. The place itself is super charming! Decorated with very unique and antique gems. You can sit at the counter, at a table inside or outside in a backyardish,patio type of area! The staff was great too. Definitely stop by if you haven't yet!

From the outside, this is a wacky restaurant. The menu is in a cover of a high school composition book, and the seating appears to be an eclectic mix of free, sidewalk found furniture. However, it wasn't too crowded for brunch on a Saturday around noon, and our group of 3 was seated immediately. The French toast kebabs were tasty: the gimmick is mostly in the presentation, but the panettone worked. I also tried the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which was also cooked well. As wacky as the restaurant is, the brunch is solid, standard American fare.

Came here this past Friday before seeing The Neighbourhood at Brooklyn Steel...what a fantastic place! We ordered the Crostini's (all of them), the Gnocchi Bolognese, Mushroom Tagliatelle, and roasted beets as a side. Everything was just fantastic. The Crostini's were amazing and all had excellent toppings and flavors. My wife wanted to try some of my Gnocchi and ended up keeping the bowl for herself...it was that good. I didn't mind at all, because the Tagliatelle was just delightful, and the beets and cheese were a great side. I had a Bourbon Cider which was made excellent and not watered down, and my wife had a seasonal Red Ale which was great. The space is really beautiful...loved the vibe as well as service. Service was extremely friendly, well paced, and really set the tone for a great night. An amazing pre-concert spot and just great place overall! This is truly a spot everyone should try!

Recently checked this place out for brunch. It's really decently priced and you get a lot of food for not a lot of money. I tried my friend's waffles and they were just okay- I got pancakes and they were a little better. Another friend ordered cheese grits that just had a huge glob of cheese melted on top (no complaints there...) and rosemary potatoes that had no rosemary on them. It took a very long time for our food to come out, but maybe we were just really hangry. Would come back and check out the area next door to hang out with friends!

This is def my favorite dinner spot in Brooklyn: I find myself craving for their grilled salmon or affogato, and their spiked spritz is the ultimate panacea for a bad day. It's a place with a soul. The magical interior design speaks for itself. I would move in there if I could.

My husband and I were on the Williamsburg end of Greenpoint and stumbled upon this place while waiting to pick up our pup from the groomer. Space: Very eclectic! It's that sort of restaurant just full of stuff. You aren't entirely sure where the stuff came from but damn if they don't have at least one piece of everything. We were seated immediately and without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon at 1 PM. We were lucky - no wait but that changed during out visit. They got much busier and people who were entering as we were leaving were waiting. Service: the service was good no complaints at all. They all seem to help everyone and each other which I think tends to make for a better dining experience. Food: In the spirit of trying a ton of different food items my husband and I tend to get two separate dishes and then split them. Today we chose the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Chicken Pesto Sandwich (both came with fries and a simple salad). The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich just wasn't much of anything - a fried piece of chicken with hot sauce. Not really worth it. The Chicken Pesto Sandwich was very good. The chicken was grilled and the pesto on the sandwich was plentiful and very good. We both decided the Chicken Pesto Sandwich was the winner by a landslide. I would be very interested in returning and checking out the back room. It's a large space with a bar, couches, and again a collection of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Overall, pretty good find and a nice spot to check out.

While I bet this is actually 4-star brunch place, the wait for the food was so long that I had to give Ringolevio 3 stars. Let's start with the good. The atmosphere is small, warm, and cozy, with a lots of interesting art, fixtures, and memorabilia on the walls. While our waiter was rushed, he was very kind and considerate and gave us mimosas on the house after he accidentally spilled the cream. Small gestures go a long way! The pancakes we started with were delicious: not too heavy, but crispy on the outside, with a bevvy of fresh fruit to top it off. The sandwiches were also tasty...but took over an hour to make it to our table! While I greatly enjoyed the buffalo chicken sandwich (crispy poultry, with melted mozzarella, peppers, and onions), and the fries and salad that came with it, the long wait was no fun, considering the restaurant was not packed to the brims. There is no way an omelet and two sandwiches should take that long at a restaurant accustomed to a brunch crowd. With some better service, Ringolevio can round out its reasonable prices and tasty food for a nice Brooklyn brunch experience.

I always order from here and the food is excellent but the service is seriously top notch. A gentleman named Paul owns the place and another named David is one of the managers i believe. The owner and managers instill great service in everyone who works there. Though there have been a couple of hiccups with my order once in a blue moon, they always correct any and all mistakes by going above and beyond. They genuinely care about their customers and treat customers like family, I highly recommend this cozy spot!
