SCALINO GP

So I come here often and the first time I came I was in love with the food. I feel like it’s one of Greenpoints hidden gems. And I say it in Jen’s cause I’ve lived here my whole life I ask people oh have you tried so-and-so and so many people that I know directly have never been here. I love the muscles. I don’t get them in the red sauce, I like them in wine and garlic. One of my favorite dishes is the truffle pasta. Literally everything that they will put in front of you is excellently executed. This spot is excellent for a date night. if it’s in the daytime, it’s great for a lunch meeting. It’s great for a family outing to a nice restaurant. It’s warm, it’s personable. The staff is down to earth. I literally feel this may be in my TOP 3 North Brooklyn Spots. Photos to come.

This is hands-down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to and I’m not being dramatic and I’m not oversell it. My family and I came to New York for a two day engagement party and on the way back home we stopped at this place and it was the best Italian spot the staff is so welcoming and fun and honest and legitimately the food is off the chain. Best Italian food I’ve ever had and the caliber of food is just 10/10 how this place don’t have 5 stars is crazy and shows you that there’s New Yorkers that are just hating because this place is the best

The line is out the door at Forma Pasta Factory, and you can just walk straight into this place. I’m selfishly hesitant to write this review and change that, but Scalino GP is legit! The bolognese is one of the best I’ve ever had. Lamb shank absolutely killer. The broccoli rabe was the only thing I wasn’t a fan of but I was in the minority on my table! And the tiramisu, while not as wet as some (the sponge was on the drier side), was still absolutely delicious. Looking forward to coming back!!

You must try their gnocchi dishes! So fluffy and a perfect bite. it is honestly the best gnocchi I’ve had in my life - i like it with the meat sauce. all of their pasta dishes were delicious. We devoured them so fast. The service here is great. I like how they have a menu with iPads and photos. Definitely one of the most underrated Italian restaurants in town.

Ordered the bread with prosciutto and olives as an appetizer, then had the lasagna for my main, along with a glass of Chianti. The appetizer was definitely the highlight, I enjoyed that more than the lasagna. Nothing was bad, just okay overall. I was craving pasta and decided to check it out since it had a lot of good reviews. Solid experience, but not somewhere I feel the need to come back to, though I can see the appeal for others.

While I have barely had a small percentage of their expansive menu, I’m convinced there’s not a single miss in it. Every dish is just better than the last, with quite generous portions. Frankly, ever since trying Scalino I haven’t even thought about going to that other pasta place around the corner. And the service? This is the real “when you’re here, you’re family” the way everyone in there treats you as if they’ve known you forever. The only weird thing about this place is that they give you the menu in an iPad? Not like you can order from the iPad, they just give you one to look at the menu, which is very off-putting but worth to ignore for everything else.

We came here for a late lunch/early dinner today for the first time and really happy we chose this. Service was really friendly and attentive and the pasta was absolutely fresh and delicious. Looking forward to returning and trying other dishes.

Came here to eat around 5PM on a Friday and really enjoyed the welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Not only was the food delicious, but the owner and waitress were very hospitable. As someone who moved away from the city and came back for the holidays, it was very reminiscent of eating at my close friends’ Italian homes for dinner - comforting company and delicious food. Would 100% come back again. Definitely recommend the Branzino - delicious, tender, and light! Beautifully cooked and served.

Scalino never disappoints. I've been here for lunch and dinner. It's a small, intimate space and the workers are welcoming. We were gearing up for our trip to Italy and this place gave us a nice intro. I recommend coming for lunch, they give you a salad and your main dish. But I also recommend the rigatoni EVERYTIME! I even tried recreating at home and came close to how good it tastes here. Highly Recommended!

This one was pretty cut and dry. My favorite Italian restaurant in Greenpoint (so far). No nonsense vibe, super traditional. Fast service. I got Cacio e pepe, a side of broccoli rabe, and tiramisu-- they were all as good as you can get. Any criticism would be nitpicking, and I'm just not in the nitpicking phase of life anymore. Fresh ingredients, no shortcuts, all love. Side note, this might be the best tiramisu I've ever had, the type to make you immediately forget all of life's stresses... I'll be back... soon. I'd consider even going back JUST for the tiramisu....good GOD.

I was going to order online but I decided to go to the restaurant to take out in a person. The price at the restaurant was higher than the website. I wasn't expecting that. I got fried calamari, and it wasn't that great. A bit confusion with the question with the person who works there. I know fried calamari normally have sauce on the side but with my experience with some Italian place they put sauce mix with the calamari, so I just want to make sure they don't do it since this is my first time ordering from this place. The guy has some unfriendly tone of voice when I asked him that question.

If you're in the mood for great food and even better service, look no further! Yaya was my server and he made this a 10/10 experience. I ordered the pappardelle with tomato cream + the tiramisu and it was *chefs kiss*. It reminded me of bar pitti! So creamy. I'll be back!

MAN OH MAN. The best carbonara I've ever had. I finished every last drop. It was the perfect portion size too. I didn't need to take any home - I had just enough where it was filling and satisfying. The texture of the pasta was perfection. I wish I lived closer to get this more often. Their starter focaccia bread was also delicious - came with some high quality olive oil. Owners are great - give you a couple of laughs and fun convo. Good guys. Highly recommend this place.

Came for dinner and had a solid meal here. Eggplant and zucchini parm to start was ok (didn't really care for the zucchini), but the fried calamari was excellent. Pappardelle with tomato cream and bacon was the star of the show - definitely get that! Overall a good neighborhood spot - and it's easy to walk in.

Love this place! The owner is super friendly, the food is delicious, and the vibes are great. I recommend the pappardelle with tomato cream sauce and bacon. The tiramisu is also great and they'll happily make you a cocktail to order if you ask :)

A great place to sit down for pasta. The atmosphere when I was there was very hectic and chaotic, but the three staff members on the floor did a fantastic job of taking care of everyone in the restaurant. We had to wait a little bit to be seated, so we were able to sit at the bar and sip on some wine in the meantime. Their chardonnay was one of the favorites I've ever had. It was smooth, slightly sweet, and so buttery. Their pour was also very generous. A great way to start off my meal. We ordered the bufala mozzarella di campania appetizer (asked for the prosciutto on the side). There was a delicious thin dressing on the arugula, and the mozzarella was sooooo scrumptious. The prosciutto was also sliced amazingly thin and was so tasty. Between the various ingredients--arugula, mozzarella, tomatoes, prosciutto--everything was so balanced. A wonderful appetizer. I ordered the fettuccine truffle (one of their menu specials). The item description said something like "truffle, butter, cream," and it was 100% spot on! The truffle was very pleasant and not overwhelming, and the butter/cream was so rich. Now the pasta texture, that was AMAZING. I don't think I've ever been so impressed by a pasta texture. It was cooked absolutely perfectly--the chewiness was just to die for. It really brought another layer of depth to the dish. This meal left me so satisfied and happy. I cannot wait to be back.

Really cute hole in the wall italian restaurant with great wine and fantastic food! I got the truffle pasta with zucchini and it was incredible! Rich and creamy but also didn't feel overly heavy. We finished the meal off with their famous tiramisu! 100% recommend if in the area :)

This place has a great rustic, old fashioned aesthetic along with good quality food to boot. Our server was very professional too, being very courteous and giving us his personal opinions for recommendations. One thing that I liked was that this restaurant made it really easy to select out speciality pasta -- they utilized a tablet which showed high resolution photos/videos of their food, which made it easy for me to choose from their selection. I think more restaurants should adopt this so that we wouldn't have to rely on online photos so much :) Ordered the lamb Ragu (fire) and manzo pastas. Only thing keeping it from a 5 was that the pasta was slightly undercooked.

What a great find this was! Our friends and us, were visiting, and with no dinner plans, decided to use Yelp to guide us. Found Scalino, just a few minutes drive away. We called to make sure they had a table for us and when we arrived they had it ready for us. Immediately they served us water, a bread basket and olive oil. We devoured the bread, while looking through the menu, and without asking they brought more to the table. We ordered to share.... some appetizers, pizzas, pasta, and, wine. Everything was excellent and very good portions. The pizzas are great to share and delicious. The gorgonzola pasta, so flavorful. Everything made to order and fresh. And the service was so attentive and quick. We all were very impressed and happy with everything. Definitely recommend.

This review is going to be easy, they have one of the best lunch deals ever. I first visited their other location but since that location closed, I made an effort to visit the Greenpoint location because I remember really liking this place. Oh man it's still so good! It's cheap, casual and insanely delicious. I just remember the pasta being really good and under $15 for lunch, pretty good deal to me The food: Pappardelle- Tomato cream, smoked slab bacon. I don't like to say things are the best because there are so many variables but this might be the best pasta dish I ever had. It's so simple, but man it's so perfect. That smoked cream screams flavor and the the pasta is cooked perfectly. It's so good you really should order two orders. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8d9wwtsUEkJsG8FlQJPoyQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Fried Calamari- Roasted pepper tomato sauce. I thought these were made well. They were good in a very safe way. The calamari was fried well without being too oily and I liked how the sauce had a tiny bit of heat, it was a nice counter balance. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=22K3nqBXcl6zZ1If5bnatQ&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA Rigatoni Scalino-Turkey Sausage with Tomato Cream- It was good but the turkey flavor was a bit too gamey for me and the turkey flavor lingered throughout the dish. The sauce was nice and the pasta had nice texture but I couldn't get over that turkey funk. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fS0oMYAHE5czSqUmGvv_tA&userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA

So lovely!! All of the food was of great quality and tasted as if I was at somebody's house. So comforting. The service was great and the ambiance was even better. I want to spend more time eating and enjoying next time, hidden gem for sure.

Absolutely amazing and delicious Italian food. It's like you've been invited to momma's house for dinner. Nothing in the menu disappoints and the causal atmosphere just adds to the specialness of this restaurant. W went for the Gnocchi with meat sauce and the rigatoni and turkey sausage - solids standbys but the next level. This place is a must - be sure to bring your appetite.

Came here for a work lunch. We were a party of 16, and they took very good care of us. The owner is very talkative and clearly incredibly proud of his culinary expertise. I had the highly recommended braised lamb shank, which was fall-off-the-bones tender but a tad under seasoned for me. My colleagues' pastas looked and smelled amazing, so maybe that's more of their specialty. The tiramisu was decent - not too sweet. Really appreciated their hospitality and ability to handle a large group.

Such a friendly atmosphere, the owners were so nice and fun, even let me taste the rose before I ordered it. Gave us free bread while we waited for our meal. Got the pesto pasta and it was so great, I am very picky with pestos but this one definitely was made so well and they were very generous with how much they put on the dish. Highly recommend!

Got pork chops (10/10) and paparadelle lamb ragú (7/10 - needed more salt, pasta was very good but sauce was nothing too special). Very good service and waiters and owners were so friendly and welcoming.

Second time at this local gem with amazing hospitality & homemade pasta. Love the homey, rustic ambience. Will definitely be back soon!

This is a casual family run Italian place that gives you old school authentic Italian Brooklyn vibes. My friend orders regularly from here and suggested it we try it out for lunch. The place was fairly busy on Saturday night but we were to get seated quickly. We ordered the Antipasto Scalini to start and I loved the fresh selection of meats, the prosciutto and salami were my favorites along with the chunks of parmesan. I ordered the pappardelle with slab bacon, this dish was really delicious. The sauce was creamy and flavorful and the bacon added just the right amount of saltiness to the dish. I tried my friend's rigatoni and that was also very good. The tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal.

Don't go here. I came for lunch, there wasn't a single person in the entire restaurant. I have my service animal with me, with a vest on, with her paperwork and they wouldn't seat me.

If you're looking for an easy-going place to have a solidly good meal, this might be the place for you! I was in from out of town and craving casual Italian. This place was recommended by the concierge at the hotel and confirmed with some reviews, so I decided to check it out. Servers were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food hit the spot and was just what I wanted. Also, there was a good vibe with a range of diners, from singletons like myself to couples and families. If I'm in town again, I'd definitely return

Owner was very friendly, the lunch pasta and salad option was a great deal ( $12 ) and I had to eat and leave pretty quickly, but they were aware and tried to accommodate us as much as possible. Food: ingredients were fresh, lots of pasta options and seasonal options, owner goes to the farmers markets to pick out his ingredients personally and I can tell in the quality of the food. Will come back!

Rustic no frills Italian food in Greenpoint. The owner graciously served us on Sunday for lunch. There is isn't a brunch specific menu which is exactly what my husband wants... no eggs! (I personally love a good brunch spot.) We had: Sautéed calamari and sautéed oyster mushrooms for appetizer - two separate dishes. Both fresh and delicious! Calamari was sautéed with a little olive oil, cherry peppers and onion. Rigatoni with ground turkey in a light tomato cream sauce - this was good as is, but maybe some peas and mushrooms would have kicked it up an extra notch. Penne with broccoli rabe and sausage - simple classic dish Eggplant and zucchini parmigiana - this was delicious! Nothing was breaded and fried. Rather they were thinly sliced and layered with cheeses then baked. We shared the tiramisu and had an espresso with Sambuca. The owner introduced us to Molinari Sambuca. We usually have the Romana which is very sweet and syrupy compared to the Molinari. Great neighborhood spot where you feel like you're at home with straightforward light Italian fare.

Amazingly good. Feels like a casual Italian meal in Italy. Top notch service too. Friendly, hospitable, and funny. Will take a lot not to just come here for dinners when going out. So glad to have tried this

I was excited to try this place because of all the raving reviews. However I felt as though this was your average Italian Food. The server (possibly owner) was very attentive and available. He gave us an iPad that lists the menu items with pictures which I thought was very useful. They offered complimentary bread and olive oil. The bread was okay- they were multigrain sandwich breads cut in half. We started off with the burrata with red peppers which was flavorful. For my entree, I got the pappardelle with tomato sauce and bacon. The pappardelle pasta itself tasted great and was cooked perfectly. However, although the tomato cream sauce tasted how it is exactly described, it was very one note in flavor. I wish there was something else to brighten the dish. My friend got the pappardelle with white cream sauce and bacon. It tasted milky and was very heavy and thick. I appreciated that they offer to shred cheese from a cheese block to top the pastas. Note- they do not add chicken to pasta dishes. For dessert, we had the homemade tiramisu which was an average tiramisu. Large slice. The cake did not have time to soak in the coffee flavor. Overall average Italian restaurant.

The food at Scalino is amazing. In this essay i will explain the direct correlation between a non-pretentious environment and quality food! I been here 3 times and had two pasta dishes and duck + dessert with wine and ive never been disappointed. The owner was very cheerful, no frills, and happy to serve my bestie & i. There are zero grass walls or LED signs strewn about. The food is fresh and comes out fast, the waiter has a delightful sense of urgency & has the nerve to say "Ciao!" When you leave. Idk but, come here as an excuse to galavant in Greenpoint. Only thing i dont like is they charge a fee for using cards...suspect.

One of the best Italian meals I've ever had - this is a true hidden gem local restaurant in Brooklyn! The food, drinks, service - all in all, what else more can you ask? Went for a dinner on Friday after my friend's casual Yelp find - we're looking for somewhere cozy and good without any time limitation esp during COVID times. So happy that my friend found this place and we decided to try it out! Not only Tim (our server but he may be the owner?) provided superb service throughout the night but the food itself was amazingly fresh and on point! I mean there're soooo many mediocre Italian restaurants everywhere, esp in NYC, but I'd say this is seriously by the far top notch tasty one in the city for sure! We ended up having so much fun eating and drinking starting from appetizers to entrees to deserts and all the wines and shots...! Thanks Tim for amazing hospitality and having us - we'll def be back!!! Do yourself a favor and stop by to try one of their pastas and you won't regret! (And thank me for it) ;)

I came here last Saturday night with my friends for dinner. We came 39 minutes before close and the waiters were welcoming and did not try to rush us during our meal. We each ordered pasta dishes and they were absolutely delicious. I had the home made ravioli, which was one of the best that I have had in a while. The meal was also very affordable, which was nice. $16 for ravioli is hard to find in the city. I will definitely be back

This was hands down one of the best Italian food experiences I've ever had. Every food item we had from top to bottom was incredible. Grilled calamari was done perfectly, the fettuccine special with beef and mushrooms had levels of flavor in each bite that elevated and complemented the ingredients, the duck and cabbage slaw were shared among the table and the sauce sopped up with bread until the last bite. Top it all off with a cappuccino and tartufo and there was nothing but leaned back sighs in the chair declaring how incredible the whole meal was. The staff was attentive, very helpful (they recommended a delicious montepulciano to go with our meal) and very welcoming. Will be probably go out of my way to come back to Brooklyn just for this!

Great pasta. Great service. Tim was amazing!! Loved his personality and spunk. Fried calamari was good. The sauce it came with had just the right amount of seasoning. I ordered the pasta with turkey sausage in a creamy tomatoe sauce. My boyfriend had the penne with broccoli and olive oil. I loved his better than mine. But mine was good too!! Great service. Menu not too much to choose from. Would come back and have something else next time.

Such a lovely spot. Came here one rainy night and had a nice, cozy evening with delicious food. We ordered the burrata and the oyster mushrooms for the table and I also got the Eggplant and Zucchini Parmigiana. Both appetizers were delicious. I looove mushrooms and these were to die for. The parmigiana was one of the best dishes I've ever had. It's light and flavorful and incredibly tasty (I ordered it for takeout a few more times since then and it never disappointed). As other reviewers mentioned, the owner was really friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place.

Came here with my friend for some Italian comfort food, and boy did this place deliver! "Unpretentious but classy" is definitely the aesthetic. This is honestly going to be one of the nights I remember from 2020! Note: there is no outdoor dining available. It is indoor dining only (well...at least for another day, since NYC is stopping that on 12/14), but it's reduced capacity with a lot of space between people. I felt as comfortable as one can be if you choose to take the risk of doing indoor dining. The food was incredibly tasty and the portion sizes on the more generous side. Aside from customary bread + olive oil, my friend and I split the bufala mozzarella/prosciutto/arugula/tomatoes ($15), and then my friend got the pappardelle with bacon ($17.50) while I got the fettuccine with fresh shrimp ($19.50). Now the thing that REALLY made our experience though was Tim - our waiter (and owner? I see all of the other reviewers also having this question mark...we really need to ask next time :D). From teasing my bestie for being 20 minutes late in a hilarious way, to giving us red wine and chocolate mousse on the house, and to just bringing so much great #dadenergy and conversation, in addition to the quick and efficient service (and wearing a mask, of course)...this was the kind of super-local, good vibes NYC restaurant experience we love and want to support! We will be back for sure. Tip extra and show this place some love, Greenpoint!

I moved out of the neighborhood and haven't had the opportunity to be back in a while. Tonight, I had the lasagna and the buffalo mozzarella. The meal was just as good as I remember, perhaps better. The lasagna itself was so good, it made me emotional. Stop reading this review and go.

To start off food was great honestly some of the best Italian I've ever had. I got the carbonara and my significant other got the short rib entree. Food was very good. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the service, as someone who current works in the restaurant industry I know how taxing being a member of the waitstaff can be. Throughout the entire meal not once did the waitress come by to ask how everything came out, nor did she bother to check up on us. I feel bad because it felt as if we were being singled out because she had gone to every other table conversed with them chit chatted about the wine and we couldn't even get extra napkins. The only person who came by the table was who I presume to be the owner. Again food is great. I'm more upset because me and my significant other were celebrating our anniversary of 6 years and we couldn't even get the bare minimum of service. I will also add this was on a Wednesday and she had about 3 tables when we had gotten there. And yes I left 20% as a tip before anyone asks.

THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT MAYBE EVER. When my friends and I go, it's an Event. We all make sure to wear loose pants. We bring our families here when they visit (and they were impressed.) The food is immaculate and if I was on death row I'd order the calamari, endive salad, and pappardelle. The owners/servers are so kind and funny; the hospitality is phenomenal. Last time we were there they gave us a bottle of wine on the house! I'm in awe of their lunch special. If you work from home in the area or have a free day, you must go to give the place a try and I swear to you it will rock your world.

Portions were small for the price. Service was slow despite being one of the few patrons there - it was hard to get ahold of the only waitress working. This place charges a $3 fee for using a credit card vs cash, beware!

Great service. A staff that makes you feel like you just walked into the dining room table at classic Italian America family for dinner. Had the ravioli, rapini, white beans and tiramisu (homemade)! All delish. Small servicing sizes but not so small you can't share. Packed w flavor. This place has simple no frills Italian at affordable prices done well. You gotta give it a try when in the pointe!

I ordered a Prosecco wine and it was so good. The owner brought the bottle over so I could see the name of it . I'm definitely looking this up when I get back home. I came in looking for a good place to eat near my hotel - The Henry Norman- and saw that Scalino had some good reviews. It is a nice place- good food, good service, good place to people watch and great prices. I ordered the taglierini with Italian sausage meat sausage. My meal with 2 glasses of wine was only $32( they didn't charge me for the 2nd glass ). They have a lunch special for $12( pasta and salad)- so I'm probably gonna return.

The place to go for an awesome lunch special! So underrated for lunch - this place should be packed. They have a lunch special where you can pick a pasta and they add on a salad and bread - all for only $12. I couldn't finish my portion (so I got dinner out of it as well). They gave me some chocolate mousse on the house since it was slow and we were vibing. The staff was very kind and the service was quick. I'm definitely coming back again. Five stars.

This is by far the best, and I can not stress this enough, THE BEST, pasta I have ever had in my life. The owners are absolute geniuses when it comes to their food. To begin I will start with the menu, their menu isnt vast and pages on pages long, it is a two sided menu with at most 30 different food items. I have had every single item because they make each and every one of them to perfection. My favourite is the papperdelle! Not only is the food out of this world amazing but the prices are even better. For $12 you get a delicious pasta entré as well as a side salad. I have come to this place in the last month atleast 10 times its basically routine at this point. From the appetizers to desserts you can not order anything that will not taste good. Another thing to mention is the incredible service. There three people who run SCALINO and all of them will talk to you and be friends with you as if they knew you for you entire life. They all are funny, witty and nice with and a joke to crack when they can. I have never felt more at home more with family then this place. It's the best place to go to. Thank you SCALINO! You're amazing!

Scalino is a nice little spot in Greenpoint! Our server was so kind and friendly. I got the fettuccine with truffle sauce and *chef's kiss* it was great. My friends got the pappardelle and they all really liked it too. Portions were great, we didn't feel bloated or stuffed. Also got bread while waiting for our order.

I went to the Yelp app and typed "foodie restaurants" and Scalino was what came up. I wasn't specifically looking for "foodie" so don't ask me why I started typing that - "foodie" is a dumb term. It makes me think of people who overthink their food choices and are more interested in discovering the latest trend/thing...whatever. But I digress. Let's just say that however I got to Scalino I'm glad I did. It was early (5pm-ish) so it wasn't an issue getting a table and immediate service. I ordered the Pappardelle in tomato cream sauce with double smoked slab (?) bacon. The order came in a timely manner, the pasta was fresh and hot! Many things annoy me in life but one of my top peeves is pasta served lukewarm...tepid, flaccid pasta served in a congealed, viscous cheese wad - blech. Again, I digress. Not the case here - to repeat the pasta was served HOT and fresh and the portion was just right. The sauce was perfectly seasoned, the tomato bright and flavorful, the bacon (as advertised) slabbed. Great dish. I ordered one or two glasses of an Italian red - don't ask me which one but the menu is well thought so you can't go wrong. Someone else mentioned the olive oil they serve with the bread - odd I never gave olive oil much thought at other Italian restaurants but whatever Scalino is serving it's phenomenal. I even asked about the brand and where I could purchase it - sadly it's not sold retail. Guess I'll just have to make a return visit.

I came here randomly by myself and was so glad I did. The owners were very nice and accommodating. The pasta was the best I ever had and cooked to perfection. Now thats what fresh pasta should taste like! I will definitely be coming here again with others. They also had a great wine selection from the different regions in Italy. Fantastic!

This place was awesome! Came here for lunch with a group of friends on New Year's Day and the owner chatted with us and provided great service. The bread and amazing olive oil alone tell you the meal is going to be great. Things ordered: - Papperdelle : 5/5 so good! Sauce was amazing, great flavor and I'm not even the biggest bacon fan. Also the pasta texture was great. -Pasta meat sauce (bolognese): 4/5 p solid choice, but I prefer cream sauces in general just to red sauces haha. - Ravioli: 3/5 a lot of olive oil almost too much. Taste was okay but friend has had better texture in past -Rigatoni with Cream: 4/5 friend really liked it and thought the turkey sausage taste better than anticipated! Not too creamy, very al dente pasta - Penne with broccoli and sausage: my friend loved it! - Creme brulee- 4/5 - the custard was rich and perfect with the charred sugar on top! Would def recommend. - latte and americano were both awesome if you order coffee! Also since we came for lunch we got lunch portion of pasta with salad for $11 :) !! Special lasts until 5 pm weekdays! Would def come back here in future!

Such a great little find! Went for a Sunday night dinner and felt like we were sitting down in my Italian Grandmother's kitchen. Great sauce, meatballs, the pappardelle with creamy tomato sauce, steamed spinach, tiramisu, wine.. can't go wrong.

Lunch: Absolutely great, comes with a large salad & pasta & bread all for $10. They delivered super quick. Dinner: Ordered the same exact thing & the portion was exactly the same & not as good as I remembered. THis is the only italian spot in the area that won't have a 2 hour wait so it's nice to run in, but it's very expensive for not that much & the raviolis were dried & undercooked. Kinda disappointed. Place could use some adjustments. Photos by @carbiesanon

My wife and I are from North Carolina and this is my favorite place to eat when visiting the daughter in Brooklyn. We have not been here since Covid so tonight was extra special. Food and service were outstanding as always and I look forward to the next time.

Horrible owner/manager. Food might be good but not worth the ambiance. We went in at noon on a Saturday only two customers were in the place. I have a toddler & the server and I were trying to figure out best place to sit with the stroller. We picked out a few items and she placed the restaurant's menu iPad on our table. My daughter grabbed the iPad and it fell. As we were attempting to pick it up and put it back in the case the owner starts to yell at the server, then me, then my child. And then comes over to physically handle my child. I had to intervene, I told the server to cancel my order. I also told the man that we order quite often from them and was looking forward to eating there. He said, "I don't care" Please note he went from handling uncooked food and presenting to the two customers that were in a fake Italian accent. To eat at a back table to yelling across the restaurant to attempting physical harm to a child in less than 10 mins. Never once did he wash his hands. I think I know why they place is empty. Never going back!!!!!

Exquisite service, pasta and wine. The ambiance is perfect for a cozy dinner. The ingredients are fresh and the pastas tasted so fresh. Above all, the service was amazing and made my week.

I love coming here with my friends, it's definitely going to become our spot. the food is so authentic and filling. I can't ever get tired of coming here! the owner and staff are all very nice and welcoming :)
