Love this spot, especially when the weather is nice enough to sit outside (it gets PACKED though, so make a reservation!) Recommended: - Meatballs - Carbonara - Farfalle Di Mare - Their welcome bread, omgggg - Cocktails (wonderful and beautifully presented) Maybe Skip: - Pizza Fritta (I love fried things, and especially love fried panzerottis, but wasn't in love with their fried pizza here, but just my opinion!) Great spot for dates or to catch up with friends. Service is always fantastic.

Sociale is one of those neighborhood gems I keep coming back to—and for good reason. The service? Always warm and welcoming. The vibe? Relaxed but polished. And the food? Let’s just say if fried pizza is wrong, I don’t want to be right. The fried pizzas are the MVP here—crispy, pillowy, and topped with just the right amount of salty prosciutto and peppery arugula to make you question every other pizza you've ever loved. I’ve been here many times over the past few years, and it’s consistently solid. Bonus points for being open on Mondays (a rare gift in Carroll Gardens when the rest of the block goes dark). Drinks are smooth and strong—the margaritas are excellent—but $18 for one on a Monday? No happy hour, no Cinco de Mayo special? That’s the only thing keeping this from five stars. My wallet needed a shot of tequila after that. Still, Sociale’s charm, quality, and service make it easy to overlook the price tag now and then. Just maybe toss us a lime-salt-rimmed bone next time?

Sociale is one of my favorite Italian restaurant’s. The service is fantastic and so is the food. Tasty, fresh, great drinks too.

Sociale offers an outstanding dining experience, with its Margherita pizza being one of the best I’ve had. The fried Brussels sprouts were absolutely incredible—the sauce was creamy and flavorful, making every bite a delight. Our pasta dishes were also excellent, but the Brussels sprouts and pizza truly stood out as favorites. The service was fast and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable meal. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious and well-executed meal!

Dinner here was outstanding. They have very good cocktails. Their service is excellent. And we really like the atmosphere; the abundance of leafy green plants is refreshing. We really enjoyed their pizzas, with their super crispy but light crusts and fresh ingredients.

I've been here a bunch of times. Food is always really solid. Great place for breakfast or lunch during the week. Pastas and flat breads are delicious. The eggplant dish served in a hot skillet is amazing. Service is quick and friendly. Probably my favorite lunch spot now in the area.

The food is amazing. The pasta is just amazingg!!! Also I loved the pannacota. I loved the ambience and very clean. The service is not that good, the server is quite rude when my card can not read by the EDC, but actually it is because my card doesn’t have chip so need to be inserted.

OMG! This place is understated (imo) but absolutely so glad we stopped and finally sat down to eat here! We walked up and the hostess sat us immediately! Love! The server was not far behind and so sweet and had great timing.. truly didn't come to much to annoy us but didn't leave us alone too long to abandon us. He was perf! We sat outside (bc it was still kinda nice and they still have outdoor seating! Yay! So glad some have survived!) and ordered wine and the henry & orange fizz which were both lovely. Then I ordered the short rib small plate and the brussel sprouts and my bf ordered the lamb shank. He loved his meal and we both couldn't get enough of the brussels! They were soooo good! The sauce they put on them was absolutely perfect! But my short rib.. well, that was so perfectly fatty, so incredibly well done and perfectly cooked that I WISH that was a full ass entree.. but tbh, it was the perfect size for me. I wasn't super full after and I was satisfied.. so that's a win win! Then I went on to see Sinners at the theater, so my night was excellent! But back to the food lol.. go there and get you anything on the menu! Honestly.. you won't be sorry!

Came here with a group of people. Really chilled vibes and relatively empty. I had their upside down Cesar salad which was really good although the chicken was so thin. We also tried their pizza which was really good as well. The drinks were ok not very strong. Overall 3.5 stars

Stopped by for brunch with my fiancé and toddler. They were very accommodating and kid friendly. The burger and piña colada were delicious. I would definitely go back to try other items on the brunch and dinner menus.

Unassuming restaurant on the corner of busy intersection in Caroll Gardens. I must've driven by this place numerous times so when my friend picked this place I had to oblige. We ordered the branzino and pappardelle pasta. The pasta was out of this world. The pasta was perfectly al dente and meat seasoned well. I love branzino but I wasn't a fan of it in this dish. I was in between the tiramisu and the poached apple. I'm so glad I got the poached apple. It went perfect with the bourbon gelato. The puff pastry could've been a bit softer. Overall, I enjoyed my late lunch.

We came for weekday lunch right around opening time at around 10am. Their menu has breakfast options as well. The place was not busy given it was a weekday. I got the short rib sandwich which was very tasty with tender short ribs doused in a special sauce with broccoli rabe over well toasted bread. The French toast looked good. The bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant looked not bad as well but the croissant looked lighter than it should. Given the quality of the short rib sandwich, I would definitely come back to try some of the other options.

I would like to possibly try their dinner here. I visited this restaurant for brunch. I'd say it's pretty basic. I had the short rib hash. The food and drinks were prepared well but nothing stood out to me as exceptional or memorable. The wait staff was very friendly and it's a nice vibe inside with exposed brick. I did like the layout of the restaurant.

I've passed by this spot in the neighborhood a few times and loved the vibe from the lush greenery inside. Plus, they have a permanent outdoor dining area with heaters during the chilly nights too. This was perfect as I had my pup with me, so we were able to dine outside. Between the two of us, we ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana ($16), Spaghetti Alla Carbonara ($24), and Brasato ($16). Everything came out at once and was presented beautifully. I'm a sucker for a carbonara, so this was delicious and was swirled into perfect ball. It was a pretty small dish though, so wish it was bigger. The dish that really surprised me was the eggplant, which had a nice cheesy crust. Definitely would get this again, perfect whether you're vegetarian or not. The brasato was just ok though. There was something missing in the panini and there was too much bread to meat ratio. Overall, solid eatery along Smith Street with a nice atmosphere.

First time here and will definitely come back. The pizza is unique in that the crust is this fried crunch pastry dough. The seafood pasta with breadcrumbs was exactly what I was craving. I'm glad I did not pass on dessert because oh my! The salted caramel ice cream with the warm chocolate cake was to die for! The restaurant is cute and cozy and great for families, a date, catching up with a friend. The service was great!

This has become my go to restaurant when I am in beautiful Carrol Gardens neighborhood. When I was at this restaurant this past week I enjoyed the delish grilled salmon perfectly done medium the skin added a crispy texture. It was complement with sauté garlic spinach, potatoes and a green purée blending beautifully with salmon. My hubby had French toast he said the dish excellent. The French toast was created baked brioche, bananas, mixed berries, mascarpone cream. My hubby communicate this was a terrific combo with perfect sweet flavors.

If you're giving this place 4 stars or more, you've never been to a true Brooklyn Italian restaurant. First the bread they give is tiny little strips of something that's NOT Italian bread!! It's also not enough for a complimentary starter. I had the eggplant parmesan and it wasn't a full dish- they didn't even serve it as a main dish with pasta - which is a traditional dish in a true Italian restaurant. We tried the meatballs and they had a lot of flavor but missed a lot of breadcrumbs and egg in the mixture so they were somewhat gritty which isn't how unique meatballs should be texture wise. While the lighting is nice and it's quiet ambiance, the staff needs to STOP going over to guests every 5 minutes to clear plates, fill water and rush people through their food. I actually came here for my birthday and felt like 3 staffers were rushing us out of there. We had plenty of food to enjoy and the busboy was standing nearby ready to trash our dishes when we wanted to take our time. I don't recommend this place for a true family and Italian feel!!!

Gem of a spot that friends recommended we meet up at while we were in town. So glad they did. The pastas were great, as was the burrata salad my wife and I shared. The service was outstanding (maybe bc our friends were regulars, but that says something don't it?), and the open air capable dining area was fantastic. Loved every bite and minute.

Drinks are 10/10, the bartender was amazing! The espresso martini has fresh espresso which is always a win. We tried one of their salads (really good), their French fries were average and the pizza we got was interesting. The dough was fried, I don't think I'd order that again. Over all though vibes are nice. I'd like to sit at the bar again or maybe in their outdoor seating, they have a bar along the window outside which is really nice. I'd go back for their cocktails alone!

Came here for drinks while hopping around the neighborhood. They had a decent selection of wines. We opted for a bottle of Barolo. Pretty happy with the offering. They had a full bar and I think there were two drafts. Restroom was in the basement. There appeared to be a speakeasy in the basement. It wasn't opened at the time. Bartender was quick and accommodating.

I cannot think of a better restaurant in Brooklyn (maybe all of NYC!) than Sociale. The staff is friendly, attentive and professional. For years Sociale has been our go to (almost weekly!) I cannot recommend them enough! When (not IF) you go please order the brussel sprouts! I can promise you they are the best you'll find! The lasagna, chicken, meat loaf burger are all to die for. (It doesn't hurt that the restaurant is as fabulous & stylish as the food is GOOD!) Thank you for many a lovely dinner Sociale!

Alright! So this is where we decided to go for Valentine's Day and because I don't want to start my review just negative, let's begin with the positives: - the vibe inside is great for a date night of any kind - the staff was very nice and kind - the eggplant Parmesan was stellar, though small as it's only available as a starter - one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had Ok so let's move on to the negatives: - save for the eggplant parm the food was awful. We ordered 4 different food items (oysters, focaccia (Bianca), eggplant parm, and their spinach tagliatelle scallop special) - the oysters had a couple of truly terrible tasting ones in there and the mignonette was essentially just either balsamic or malt vinegar - the focaccia was terrible. $5 for the picture attached to this review is hilarious - the spinach tagliatelle was really rough. So so so bland, the scallops were overcooked and very rubbery, and there was truly just no real taste to the dish - some of the slowest service I've ever had at a restaurant. Though the staff was very nice, it took 15 minutes to get bread, and later 15-20 minutes to get a drink - I ordered a whiskey ginger and the ginger ale was fully, fully flat with no acknowledgment as to such I don't think I'd recommend or return, which is a shame because this restaurant could be great if some things changed.

We ate at Sociale several times when it was on Henry Street and had good expectations for this Court Street location. Unfortunately on a recent weekend visit, the SERVICE WAS SLOW and the KITCHEN WAS DISORGANIZED. We sat down for 10 minutes before the server came by. After we ordered, we waited 25-30 minutes for the $18 Spanish Octopus appetizer to arrive. The appetizer was delicious but it was just one SMALL tentacle. After the appetizer arrived, we waited 45-50 minutes for the pasta ($26 and $28) to arrive. Two couples arrived after us, ate their meals, and left before our pasta arrived. The pasta was delicious but the portions were small. The pasta portions were just a little bigger than your fist. We're fine with the small portions but the delays made for an annoying experience. The servers apologized for the delays but did not offer to reduce the bill nor provide complimentary dessert or drink. We may not return to Sociale. After all, there are other good restaurants nearby such as Gersi, Fragole, and Cafe Luluc.

We really enjoyed the food and service at Sociale. From the salad to my Filet Mignon. The people are very attentive and they serve quality cuisine. We'll be back to enjoy the relaxing ambiance with table candles and soft dinner music.

ok, so they are always gruff when I go in but... I tend to go in after doing Lift floats next door and grab and a non alcoholic drink to chill out with and they are always fine to let me chill out for as long as I want, and don't pressure me to eat. The hot ginger tea is sooo good; they will make any alcoholic drink non alcoholic for you, and their cocktails are delicious, they serve phony Negronis which are the best, and I can't get enough of their bread straight from the oven. The zucchini soup was amazing, sadly I haven't seen it in ages, I hope they will bring it back. I love the plants everywhere, it's such a mood :)

I have been walking past Sociale for months and have finally decided to try it out for brunch this Sunday. The two of us did not have reservations, but were able to snag a couple of seats at the bar. Nice ambiance - lots of plants, modern decor, tunes playing. The menu offers plenty of choices both in the food and drink department, and the brunch items are not restricted to just eggs, with sections like pastas, meats, sandwiches and salads. The quality of the food is where my main issue lies. The veal cutlet was bland and chewy, as in difficult to swallow. The butternut squash bisque was much better once I added a generous amount of salt and a big squirt of lemon to it. The caprese salad we ordered never arrived. I guess I can now say I have tried this restaurant in my neighborhood, but I really see no reason to return. Trendy, lively and crowded, but the food was just not good.

I really wanted to like Sociale. Truly. After all, it seemed to be the IT place throughout the summer with an ambience (indoor and outdoor) that couldn't be beat. My overall rating includes some of the positives I outline in my review but in summary, it was not the experience I was hoping to have. On a somewhat mild evening and with an outdoor table available, we got the opportunity to try Sociale. The owner, who was from Bologna and pleasant, showed us to our table; I was excited to experience everything Sociale had to offer. Service, wine and dessert merits a 5, but everything else was a letdown. For starters, we shared the Spanish Octopus. For $18, it was one long strip of octopus with pureed cannellini beans and vinegar. Although the flavors were robust and good, the octopus was overcooked. In fact, I couldn't even cut it with the knife. For main, we both decided to go with the Farfalle di Mare. This dish was comprised of butterfly shaped pasta, shrimp, mussels, calamari, clams, red mullet roe, breadcrumb. When it arrived, I was searching for the seafood but only found a few pieces that was cut in pieces appropriate for a child of about 5 years old. There was no sauce and the pasta was rather dry. Overall, I felt disappointed that these dishes were not the typical Italian dishes I grew up with and am accustomed to. We ended the meal with a delicious chocolate cake topped with a dollop of ice cream. This was pretty good. In summary, the service, wine and dessert were winners while the main dishes left a lot to be desired. My background is Italian and I come from a family of really good cooks (including professionally speaking) which is why I'm picky when dining at Italian restaurants. Based on my experience at Sociale, I would probably return for brunch but not dinner.

Perfetto. Semplice. Sociale is not your average Italian spot! I came once and can't wait to go back! Everything is absolutely fresh, not processed, not salty and just tastes legitimately like southern Italian fare. I've been to Italy many times and this is the real deal. Farfalle di mare was simple, with distinct fresh flavors and fish that tasted like the Adriatic. The pasta is definitely made in house. Short rib dish was also very natural and homemade. Salad was fresh. The ambiance is very relaxed with big green plants and low lighting. The delicate flavors in these dishes truly tasted like home. Sociale puts a lot of care into their food and it shows by way of taste. I highly recommend this nice relaxed restaurant for dates or family time.

My coworkes and I were desperate to try this place. After a few failed attempts to get a reservation (we are last minute like that) we finally got a table. It was worth the wait. The staff is impeccable - anticipating needs well before we realize we had them. There was never a crumb on our table, our water glasses were never empty, and we felt very welcomed and cared for. The food was also divine! From the appetizers to the main dishes, nothing disappointed. This was about a year ago (I swear I wrote this review already, but Yelp keeps telling me it's "unfinished") so I can't remember exactly what we had. I can't wait to be back in Brooklyn, with time to plan in advance (very rare for me) so I can go back!

Wow this restaurant really exceeded our expectations. Do not sleep on their filet mignon!! Soooo good 10/10 we even compared it to steakhouse quality ... Apps were good but pastas were amazing! Pasta portions aren't too big so don't be scared to get a few pastas to try. Highly recommend the lasagna and carbonara. We can't wait to come back again for dinner. Friendly staff -- place gets packed so definitely make a reservation if you can. We ate outside in the heated patio and it was very comfortable on a 50° evening

It was so excellent having Sociale take over this space after some vacancy. The decor and style of the restaurant is wonderful (chic Mediterranean?) and the look extends to their excellent outdoor shed that they scored during the pandemic. We really love their dinners and have enjoyed many a meal. Dinner is a 5 star quality and we will continue to come back. Brunch isn't up to the same level unfortunately which caused us to knock a star off. We tried the Royale and enjoyed some bloody Mary's too. Bloodies are excellent with a clean presentation (albeit a small glass for $14). The poached eggs with hollandaise sauce sat atop a baguette that was a little tougher and hard to cut through. French fries were splendid and the salad was yummy if a bit overdressed. Extra fries were $9 and while overpriced, still a star of the show. Service was slow and we would've gone for another round of bloodies had they been by but instead opted for the check since we had finished. A great overall place and will only continue to please.

Came here recently on a date night with my partner and Sociale was a terrible choice on our part. Firstly, the bread was thin and cold when it arrived. I had asked the waiter if they had any garlic bread, and instead of just saying no, they brought out this fried bread(?) I digress. The pasta and risotto was over cooked. The branzino and brussels were tasty, I will say that. But after everything else, I was left disappointed. Frankly, we would have had a better time at an Olive Garden.

More like unsociale. Showed up early for a quick snack and drink with friends, there were two people here. Had a sleeping baby in a stroller, and they wanted us to sit at the bar (not one of the 50 open tables). But we couldn't go to the bar until our friends showed up. So much for friendly neighborhood places in a family neighborhood! I guess we'll have to find another overpriced Italian spot in Carroll Gardens.

Christmas Eve spontaneous dinner was very disappointing! First time at this spot. Everything was fine until the bill, the waiter never explained that one dish on the menu we ordered had two choices as appetizers or as main course, the dish we ordered from menu was $18, we received the bill almost double that $32, the staffer argued with us instead of apologizing and adjusting the bill, after adjusting the bill the waiter threw it on our table, another staffer sat next to me asking where I was from and how long I was in the country. Then called me a Grinch and to calm things down they gave us a piece of dessert and the staffer tried to feed me. Completely unprofessional!!!!!! This place seems to be a money hungry place instead of catering to a client by serving good food and great service! Will not come back or recommend this place! Very dissatisfied customer!

I had a wonderful time eating lunch with coworkers on a Tuesday. Everything from appetizers, to pasta, pizza, and dessert was wonderful. All of us genuinely want to come back to this restaurant. The chocolate cake dessert is especially amazing but I couldn't find their dessert menu anywhere online so I don't know what it's called. They don't seem to be on any delivery platform so I will definitely return to eat in person soon.

Sociale is a beautiful, contemporary Italian restaurant on Court Street. They offer indoor/outdoor seating, and on warm days in the summer they open the windows so you can sit at the bar al fresco. A gorgeous display of plants adorns the middle of the restaurant. The bar is equally beautiful. If I were rating them simply on design then I'd give them 5 stars easily. The problem for me is both in the service and the food. I came a couple times soon after they opened and found the host staff to be stuck up and unfriendly. One of the days was during a busy brunch hour, so I understand stress may have had something to do with it. But the other time was during a slow hour; the host was cold and short, and I'm pretty sure it was actually one of the owners. You'd think he'd want to put in some effort to create a welcoming atmosphere. The wait staff was nice enough, though quite slow. Not a huge fan of the food either. Their pizzas are fried so they're super greasy and don't hold well. Other items are portioned small. And everything is expensive. If anything I would come here for drinks, but given the service I'm unlikely to make this a regular spot.

The pizza was undercooked, the asparagus gazpacho tasted nothing like asparagus and the fruttidemara was tasteless.

I am sorry for the bad review - I really wanted to like this place - great atmosphere and kind people. Unfortunately, the service and quality of food were both subpar. We waited 20 minutes for drinks and when we asked where there were - we got one but the second never arrived. The food was lackluster with a Ricca salad with wilted greens I would have put in compost. The salad had bacon bits instead of the listed crispy pancetta. It was a salt bomb salad. The meatloaf hamburger was somewhat meh. I really hope they can improve quality of food and service!

I'll start with the great: I had the Sociale Spaghetti which is a simple spaghetti marinara/pomodoro dish but wow! So good! Sauce was delicious and the pasta is clearly fresh and made by hand (no box pasta here). My friend had the hanger steak and loved it. You can skip the calamari/shrimp appetizer, it need more flavor. The complimentary bread was also underwhelming but that's fine. 10/10 for ambience, especially early evening and night in the dining room area.

Delicious Italian meal! Was in the private room downstairs with a group of 15 and had an amazing evening. Great wine, food, service, and vibes! My group had multiple pizza fritti options to start. The potato and then sausage/honey ones were both delicious. We then had an assortment of meatballs, grilled octopus, burrata, and calamari. All of the small plates were great! Was pretty full after all of the apps so my husband and I split the lasagna bolognese and broccoli rabe side. Another amazing dish!! Haven't had a lasagna with bechamel before but absolutely loved it. We split a bunch of desserts too - the chocolate cake was my favorite. Would definitely come back if in BK!!

My favorite place in the neighborhood. Amazing handmade pasta. Simply the BEST spaghetti in NYC. Seriously. Service is outstanding. Sit at the bar on Saturday night and witness one of the best bartenders in the city. The vibe is inviting and festive. You can try to walk in but get a reservation if you can. The owners are a treat and always present. I highly recommend this place for visitors or locals alike. Its located in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Brooklyn( Cobble Hill/Carrol Garden) and well worth the trip. A block from the F. GO.

I liked the food here -- the Salad Fresca was light and crisp, and the Lemon Catalana dessert was creamy and sweet and bright. But I witnessed the manager berating a server loudly and unnecessarily, which was a sour note -- please be compassionate and respectful to employees! Otherwise I enjoyed the decor, bar seating and open kitchen.

Big fan of this place. Brunch was really good. The cocktails were refreshing and unique. Bartender definitely knew how to make a good drink. They open up the front windows so a ton of air coming in with the nice weather. The food was great - french toast and the lox dish was fantastic. Paninis also looked really good. It wasn't cheap by any means but such is BK.

I've been for both brunch and dinner, both were amazing. Their signature pizza fritti is surprisingly light, allowing me to lie to myself to say it's healthy. Their fresh pasta was tender yet filling, and the drinks were delicious all around. Made a reservation for brunch just in case, and the place did fill up eventually but we never felt rushed or crushed by a hovering crowd. Casual and/or cosy intimate atmosphere depending on how you read it. Not cheap of course, but not overratedly expensive either considering the space and location. I wish them success.

Went here with my parents while they were visiting me in Brooklyn and everything was amazing. We didn't make a reservation but got a table on a tuesday night even though it was fairly busy. DEFINITELY will be visiting again. We shared the Caprese and Boston salads, and then got the lasagna, fugilio, skirt steak, and brussel sprouts. I tried everything and literally everything was perfect!!! My favorite was the lasagna - super creamy The gelato was also incredible!! We had a scoop of the bourbon pecan and salted caramel. I'm a huge gin and floral fan and the Neighborhood crush was soooo good. My dad had the Henry sour and he loved that

Not a bad place, in a nice but becoming a bit overmanicured part of Brooklyn. Best is the pasta. Really tasty. They have fried pizza, that is considered their signature dish. Brunch options are a bit conventional. The space is warm and nice, but not original at all. Old woods, warm lighting... For me, nice and simple; but cliche. Overall, not bad if you are in the area and need a restaurant. Not worthy if you need to do an effort to come here.

First let me start with this is the first time I have eaten here. I'm not a big pasta fan but love good Mediterranean style Italian. I had the branzino and if you're reading this the green beans are crack. Unreal. But this post is to commend my bartender. I've been running cocktail bars for years and worked at many top spots for years in the city and have a bar consultant company. VICTOR is by far one of the greatest all around bartenders I've ever witnessed. He moves with efficiency but also intertwines this skill with being one on one attentive with his guests. He works the service well like magic while giving the bar guests an experience from beginning to end. This may be the first time I've ever used yelp to applaud someone's skill set. SOCIALE is lucky to have an employee of this caliber. I look forward to coming back. Bravo.

Came here on a date night and both of us left hungry after having salad, apps and main course.
