After our production, we wanted a post-show spot that felt just right—soothing, cozy, and classy, but also open past 10 PM on a Saturday night. Finding a place that checks all those boxes isn’t easy, but Black Oak delivered.
From the moment we arrived, the setting felt effortless yet intentional, with attention to every detail. The service was warm and seamless, and the menu? Exactly what we needed. The Diavola pizza hit the spot, and the pappardelle ragu was pure comfort. Their spritzes are the real deal—no shortcuts, just the authentic flavors you’d expect.
The best part? At 10:30 PM, when most places would be shutting down their kitchens, we were served a full prime dinner next to a glowing fire oven. No settling for late-night fast food—just quality, atmosphere, and a sense of ease. Black Oak was everything we were looking for and more, with pricing that felt just as fair as the experience was exceptional.

Food was prepared quickly and was delicious!
Kid-friendliness: We are regular customers at this restaurant, and the staff is always accommodating with kids and very friendly.
We really enjoyed our food here. The pancakes were out of this world and the pizza was also great. Drinks were also yummy and were cheap during happy hour

A relaxing and homely atmosphere! We ordered the meatballs to start - that was our favorite part of the meal! For mains we shared a Diavola Pizza and the king prawn pesto salad (specials for the day)! The pizza could have been cooked for a few more minutes but the taste was fantastic! The salad was bursting with flavor, we would have loved a few more prawns as there were only 2. For desert we went for the vanilla gelato, one word, stunning! Drinks wise, we shared a bottle of the Argentinian red and our desert drinks were an espresso martini and a pint of peroni! Over all we would give 7.5/10! Great experience

Cute restaurant, staff very friendly and efficient! Food came out well. Ordered: Burrata, Meatballs, Cacio e Pepe and chicken. Spent about $150 including two glasses of wine and one dessert.

Quite a nice restaurant, got a reservation for 6:30pm, but I arrived early and they sat us early! The waiter Zack was quite nice, gave some good recommendation of wine. The service was a bit slow, but understandable as it was getting busy. The food was alright. I did really enjoy the ravioli and the meatballs. The vibe was quite nice too. I’m hoping to come next time during brunch.

I have been coming to this restaurant in Park Slope for the last two years when in town for business. The sign of a good restaurant is consistency with food and service. Gloria and the team nailed it! Thank you for always providing a welcoming environment and great food and service!
