Un Posto Italiano

Wow amazing. I would own a cafe like this with a little space in the back, backyard in the summer, make fresh pasta and delicious grocery imported from Italy. This is a dream but the price is a little expensive. It is worth it thou. The space in the front make look small but they have a huge back room. We grab a table and 4 chairs luckily without any wait. Order some drinks when we got a table and just chat for a few hours. It’s a place people just meet and afternoon coffee. The drinks are great but the sandwiches could be better. I am a little disappointed with it being cold and not much to taste for a $15 price tag. They can do better imo. I would come back again to hang and maybe skip the food.

A really charming Italian cafe with a garden, delicious coffee, light cocktails and yummy simple food. The atmosphere is light filled and relaxed, and the staff are friendly. A great pit stop on a hot afternoon!

I had just come back from a solo Italy trip and was looking for genuine Italian coffee shops like the ones found there. This comes pretty close I'd say. However it doesn't seem to replicate the culture of drinking while standing at the bar like in Italy. They have plenty of seating. Friendly staff and atmosphere.

Been coming here for coffee most weekends for the past 4-5 years. Great coffee and other Italian goodies. Quality is top notch. However, they're trying to push their lunch offerings (sandwiches) so they now require that you purchase food if you want to sit at their tables after noon... and they removed a bunch of their tables recently. So, as someone who only goes there for coffee, it's kind of a bummer since there are fewer places to sit and they're wanting you to leave before noon. I was even told today (at 11:30am) that the outside backyard seating was only open to lunch or aperitivos. I find myself coming here less frequently since they've made these changes, tbh. I also sympathize since I know how hard it is to run a small business so I imagine they're trying to strike that balance.

Un Posto Italiano transports you to Italy, right in the heart of Park Slope! The business offers delicious and quality imported Italian goods to shop, as well as a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere for eating, drinking and relaxing. We hosted the reception for my daughter's baptism here, and Mariuccia and her team were so kind, accommodating and attentive in the planning and execution process for our event. I highly recommend booking your special event at Posto, or even stopping in for a glass of wine. I plan to be back to visit many times!

Great coffee, excellent service, great vibes. Theres a great outdoor sitting area with lots of plants and umbrellas for shade. During my visit to NY this is definitely my favorites coffee shop. They have cocktails and grocery goods as well. would highly recommend!

Lovely place with lovely food. We got a honey cornetto, Prosciutto and cheese on focaccia sandwich, what I believe is a hazelnut bombolone (donut), and two lattes. The pastries and sandwiches are fresh and delicious. The lattes were decent. There is a cute little enclosed patio on the back along with indoor seating. The workers were friendly. I would say that this is a place you come for food and ambiance, not necessarily for just a latte.

So lucky to have this gem of a market/cafe in Park Slope, offering a genuine café experience. The small shop is integrated with the cafe and seating areas. There is an outdoor seating area in the back. The location is on a brownstone side street in the historic district. A perfect place to have a coffee and a treat, or lunch with a friend or two. If you are from out of town and visiting Park Slope, this would be a perfect place to stop by for cappuccino and a rest stop. Friendly staff, clean ,welcoming, and comfortable seating areas as well as a mindful WC.

Un Posto Italiano has been on my list to visit for years. It's renowned in the neighborhood for its authentic housemade pastas, but there is also cafe seating throughout the store where you can order from a limited selection of sandwiches and pastries. I ordered a simple fresh mozzarella salad that came served with a light touch of olive oil and a tasteful garnish of greens. The espresso is excellent, and this is probably one of the best locales in the area for sitting down with a book during the off-hours.

We stumbled upon this place. Looks like a great idea just came to browse. It has wines from places I don't usually find like the lake Garda region of Italy. The Italian grocery selection is great. I think they make home made dried pasta to order. Amazing. Next time I need to come n try the food n drink wine. Sounds like a plan.

A treasure for Italian.pantry items - everything from your favorite semolina cookies to the finest small batch pastas and sauces, coffees you can't find anywhere else and all you favorite Italian wines- because all my favorite wines are Italian ! Brunelllo , montepulciano, Amarone ...and then there is the inviting cafe - we had a half hour before the sabbath services in the synagogue began and so we ducked in for delicious coffee and pastry. If you drive here, remember to give yourself an extra twenty minutes to find a parking spot on 'no park slope' but if you arrived on bike or transit, forget the canteen style cafes where everyone is working-- this is a laptop free zone, thank goodness - truly authentic

This is the best cup of espresso in the citiy. Such a great vibe and real italian experience. I absolutely love this place.

There is self-serve water available. It is cold, but the cups are incredibly small. The cups hold ~2-3 sips of water.

pro: feels like you're authentically in italy con: because the person ringing you up acts like they're doing you a huge favor haven't had their coffee or pasta, i've just been there for their pantry items. they've got some cool stuff but you're going to pay through the nose for it. i could totally live with that if it's all unique stuff you can't get anywhere else, but charging $25 for a ten pack of sanbitter that's $15 down the street at russo's is unconscionable.

After a long day of apartment hunting, I was drawn into this welcoming Italian market. I was going to have a cup of coffee around the corner while continuing my online search, but I decided a beer would be better. And it was! The shop has fresh pasta, a coffee bar, indoor and outdoor seating on a quaint back patio, and plenty of Italian products to peruse. The owner was so friendly and so kind, offering opinions on Park slope, that I do believe I've decided to move there. It's a great little neighborhood! And I'll definitely come back by this cozy cafe when I do.

This is my new favorite place in Brooklyn. This tiny side street shop is simultaneously: 1. As New York as anything can possibly be. It's a hole in the wall that does one thing (pasta), and does it better than I can imagine it being done anywhere else. 2. The antithesis of our high-speed, on-demand city. Once you walk in the door, you're no longer in the perpetual hurry that defines our lives. And if you are, you better slow down and relax, because you're killing my vibe, man. There's a board to the left of the counter that lists the pasta of the day. If you want spaghetto, Antonio will take out a pound of dough, and carefully roll it out, fold it up, roll it some more, and feed it through his pasta machine. There is no urgency, just a calm and deliberate display of skill. No wasted motions, just precision and practiced expertise. After the pasta has been floured and carefully placed into a box, Antonio will write specific instructions on the box. The spaghetto should be cooked that same night, for eighty seconds. Not a minute. Not a minute and a half. Eighty seconds. Pair it with the fresh jarred pesto in the mini fridge, or anything you'd like, and you will have happiness in a bowl. In this frantic city, it's soothing to watch this gentleman work. It will take a couple minutes longer than throwing a box of pasta into a grocery cart, and it will cost a few dollars more than you're used to paying, but the product is well worth the wait and the price. Because this is as good as pasta gets.

an absolute must if you live in the area. great selection of italian speciality food and wine. not to mention the coffee and cornetto are delicious.

This place is just simply, well - lovely. There are few places that really feel like a getaway, an escape from the bustle.

Such a delightful place with delicious sandwiches and drinks and great Italian products. Love it!

A gorgeous, gourmet experience at a still-affordable price point, beautiful coffee and atmospheric interior with lots of goodies on the shelves to peruse. Warm people, decadent and slow food, and what I imagine Italy feels like. *Chef's kiss* for the freshest ricotta I've ever had the joy of joining to my lips, and two fun and beautifully presented coffee drinks--the shakerato (sugar, ice, and espresso--in a wine glass!) and the vetrino (a shot of espresso sprinkled with cocoa and topped with frothed milk). Some lessons on the various foothills and cultures of Italy from attentive and friendly staff made for a lovely vibe to take in on a day off; about once an hour you can't help but overhear park slope stroller mom gossip that snaps you back to your present reality. It's a good balance. As a Trader Joe's consumer in, and frequent flyer of, gnocchi varieties, I consider myself a minor connoisseur of potato pasta and am excited to come back for the real deal.

This is a family owned business where the warmth of the service and quality of the products is just excellent. The fresh pasta is amazing as well as their coffee and focaccias. A must try in Park Slope.

This is one of the best spots in the neighborhood and a huge benefit of living here. Proprietors are wonderful and helpful -- Antonio spotted me some dried porcinis even though weren't for sale bc I couldn't get "good quality" elsewhere. It's that kind of old school service and genuine customer care that is so rare these days. Def will be a customer for as long as I live here. The best!

Discovered this hidden gem. Peeked inside to check it out and saw their beautiful, spacious garden. Walked inside and their store is separated into four sections: cafe, food store of a few Italian delicacies, pasta making section, and wine/beer section before the entrance totheir adorable immaculate ourdoor space.

Perfect lattes, cappuccinos or espressos, a charming place to meet a friend or get some work done, plenty of indoor seating, a lovely outdoor back garden - and oh yeah, amazing pasta and ravioli for sale to take home. This place is the greatest addition to the neighborhood, I love it so much!!

Food and coffee is wonderful!! And the staff is lovely. However, they should really ask that people not talk in cell phones - ruins the peaceful vibe.

I've come here a few times for a sandwich and a coffee during lunch and I am obsessed with this place. Everything was so good and the whole vibe is perfect! Have yet to try the pasta but definitely can't wait to do so.

Happy we called* 08/13/16 because Antonio opened earlier (11:30) and closed earlier (2:30) before taking holiday. Super-friendly guy who didn't have ravioli nor ragu on our visit, but the .5lb of chitarrina and .5lb of tagliatelle we got were both excellent. When you witness the craft AND price it per portion, it's definitely still worth it. *Apparently you can special-order/reserve too http://www.ediblebrooklyn.com/2016/park-slope-pasta-shop-maker-rolls-cuts-order-un-posto-italiano/   FETTUCCINA $4.60 CHITARRINA (CHITARRA) $4.90 Total $9.50

Ambience is incredible. Feels like a mini vacation. Great spot to meet up with friends or relax and read.

Oh my God, Un Posto Italiano was actually fantastic. Great great atmosphere. Pretty much every menu item that we ordered was really fresh and yummy. All of the staff are extremely welcoming - you definitely feel welcome and taken care of. Awesome! Will return and recommend this spot always.

I think I need to stop going out for Italian and just buy pasta from here to cook at home instead. The raviolio and gnocchi sold are authentic and superb. Even the frozen ravioli sold here is superior to anyplace else I've found. Make Marcella Hazan's three-ingredient tomato sauce and you've got a true Italian meal (Google it, the recipe is simple and sumptuous.) My only complaint is that he's not open Sunday, when I typically crave a Sunday gravy. I need to start planning better.

This is one of my favorite spots in NYC! You walk in and its feels like Italy! The owners are so nice and you wont get anywhere better made-to-order fresh pasta.

Infuriating to visit this place, because it reminds me that I could just live in Italy and be like this every day.

Blink and you might miss this little store front. Wonderful shop selling freshly made pasta. Owners are super friendly and knowledgeable. I bought the Tagliatella and Ravioli, both were superb. As all pasta is cut to order and the shop is small be prepared if you have to wait a few minutes. Love this shop and for those who enjoy cooking the best, this is your place.

THE fresh pasta place bordering Gowanus / Park Slope. He knows his stuff. He makes it on the spot sometimes, as towards the end of the day, he's frequently sold out of everything. I've gotten some pasta here before and let me tell you, this is the kind of pasta you want to eat the DAY you buy it. Does not taste as fresh and delish the second day. He also makes some really amazing sauces - pesto, a red sauce with olive oil / garlic / tomatoes / onions, and one with anchovies are the ones that I've seen. It's a bit small, and I think given the lack of fresh pasta places in the area, I can see this place exploding soon enough. Side note - if you do get his sauces, he can reuse the jars, so be sure to bring them back!

Cozy and quite place. Friendly staff and attentive. The coffee and cappuccino is very good. Very Italian

Delish sandwiches and a wonderful selection of Italian groceries And Sandwiches. Excellent coffee drinks wine beer and other beverages. Delightful ambiance and backyard

**UPDATED REVIEW** Antonio the owner has been great, he truly cares about his craft. He uses diverse ingredients, and he's constantly looking for new, locally sourced ingredients so that's why you'll see many reviewers referring to how he runs out quickly as he's making limited quantities of certain items. As for the menu - I've tried the tagliatelle, chitarra, gnocchi, lobster ravioli, and sausage ravioli. In addition to that, I've pretty much tried all the pasta sauces. My all time favorite pasta from Antonio is definitely the sausage ravioli - a perfect blend of savory sausage flavor, which is not too heavy. It's a perfect flavor balance against the creamy, al dente, eggy wrap. Do try the pasta sauces - it's got no preservatives so you won't get that tangy or sour taste you get from supermarket sauces. IMPORTANT TIPS: Go earlier in the day, he tends to run out in the afternoon (pretty much out by the end of the day). The menu is rotating quite often so don't expect him to have your favorite type of pasta or a pasta you ate the week before. The box and presentation makes this ideal if you need a gift in a pinch. It's a unique gift too as you really can't find this kind of stuff around. Everything is fresh though so if you let it sit in the box too long without refrigeration the pasta may start sticking together.

Take a break from BK, and enjoy a brief trip to Italy. Soft opera plays in the warm inviting space - strong coffee, amazing pastries and of course the pasta about which everyone has already waxed poetic.

So happy to have Un Posto Italiano in the North Slope. What a welcome addition! They have a condensed menu of very typical Italian espresso drinks, *amazing* pastries fresh every morning and freshly made pasta- rolled, cut and packaged right in front of you. Also a well-curated selection of artisanal Italian groceries. Such a great place. Already a neighborhood fave!

Really nice and knowledgeable owners. I bought the tagliatelle and made it with peas, duck prosciutto, and white wine cream sauce (Ditali) and it was awesome. This will definitely be my go to spot.

Fabulous place with some amazing homemade pasta. The owner is extremely nice and willing to help. I had to get pasta last minute for a dinner party, and it was truly fabulous and not that expensive.

Fresh pasta, really good service, will be my go to spot for pasta when ready to prepare a meal for myself or with friends

The hand-made pastas are without rival in Brooklyn. Possibly without rival in all of NY. You will probably have to travel to Italy to find anything this delicate, and intelligent. Plus the grocery items are of the finest quality, at a reasonable price. Charming owners, this enclave of Italian culinary culture has old world charm. What's not to love??

Amazing pasta! Best pasta I've ever eaten! Sweet and honest owners! They are moving to a different location but looking forward to know the new location to go back!

I now live 100 feet from here. Might as well just tell my employer to make out checks to Un Posto.

Best little secret in the slopes. Antonio the owner is so adorable. Makes your pasta to order and ask how many people you are feeding. He literally gives you the perfect amount of pasta to cook along with the instructions to cook his amazing pasta. Attempt to get there as early as possible since he makes enough for the day.

I can't say enough about how good this pasta is, you won't find any better in the United States.

Watching Antonio roll out the chittarina noodles made me happy in a way I can't even explain. They're gorgeous. Also because they're fresh, they cook perfectly in 60 seconds. The pesto ($12) is also amazingly delicious.

What an absolute treat this place is. Popped in to buy some pasta -which was rolled and cut right in front of me. Wow was it good! Also picked up some essentials: parmesan/salt/saffron/olive oil. Hope you enjoy this place as much as I did!

Haven't tried the pasta yet but the pastries here are so good. Nice people too.

I loved this place when it was a tiny pasta shop on Bergen, but the new space on Garfield, just off of 7th Ave is amazing! Antonio is still there with his wife hand making amazing fresh pasta (important tip -- order ahead of time!) but now they also have a little caffe and small well-curated selection of Italian grocery items. As a first generation Italian American who goes to Italy for vacation almost every summer, I can't tell you how delightful it is to go in there, to see authentic Italian products, to hear Antonio and his wife speaking Italian to each other, etc.. It's exactly what Park Slope needed. Highly recommend!

This guy is amazing!!! This is the place to buy pasta. A destination, better then the best pasta I have had at fancy restaurants. A super sweet and intimate operation. Truly outstanding pasta!!!

Absolutely exceptional quality! Not only Antonio is a gentleman, very kind and attentive, but the food that he makes is out of this world!!! One of the best gnocchi I ever had in my life (and I lived in Italy for many many years...), his ravioli are heaven, his sauces are also amazing and he sells the only buffalo mozzarella worth buying in NY. This place deserves 10 stars!

They make the best espresso I've found in New York. I don't remember the whole story behind the beans, but I believe that they're roasted by friends of theirs in Florence on a wooden board and then brought over here. The taste is sublime, rich and wonderful with no hint of bitterness or fruitiness. Plus of course Dan and Mariuccia are just sweet and fun. It's an unbelievably nice addition to the neighborhood and I'm happy for its existence ever time I go in there. Thank you guys!!

Incredibly thought out, high quality and fresh ravioli. Probably the best ravioli I have ever purchased. He clearly loves what he does and puts great care into his pastas. Will be back!
