Food was delicious! You have to have the burrata with pumpkin puree and the pistacheo dessert

The best Italian food I had in my life. The owners are incredible and put their heart and soul in every dish. I had such a wonderful time and I’m already dreaming of my next visit to Brooklyn just to come back. I cannot recommend any more!

Absolutely loved Flora! 👩🍳🤌Everything’s fresh and feels authentically Southern Italian. They were able to accommodate vegan requests. The atmosphere was relaxed. I’ll definitely be back soon for the legendary fusilli di Felitto… who thought you could find it in Brooklyn?!

Feels like a slice of Italy in Park Slope. Interesting menu with great wine list that stands out from other Italian spots. Super fresh ingredients that don’t make you feel gross after eating. Owners actively run the spot so you know it’s good.

Had high hopes and did not live up to expectations.
Very expensive for basic and not very good Italian food. Way better options for a better price in the area.

Great food and service. Truly authentic southern Italian food and fresh flavors. All the pastas were amazing. The pot roast was so flavorful and the eggplant parm was so delicious. Can’t go wrong with any pasta or entree.

We stumbled upon Flora while walking through Brooklyn and a friend that lives in the City warmly suggested to go as a Must. …OK, wow! This is not your average Italian-American restaurant , it’s the real thing, with flavours that speak of sun, sea, and old countryside kitchens. We shared the octopus and a handmade ravioli with ricotta and lemon zest that still makes us smile. Service was impeccable, and the wine list had some beautiful surprises. Grazie mille for a magical night!

Eating at Flora is like crossing the threshold and finding yourself in Southern Italy. Every dish brings the flavors and stories of the Cilento region to New York in a way that is so unexpected and different. Standouts: the bruschetta (four inventive options, my favorite is the burrata with half-dried cherry tomatoes and mortadella), the burrata Cilentana (think of the best burrata you ever had, then imagine something 10x more flavorful), the fusilli with special imported tomatoes from the volcanic soil around Mt. Vesuvius (just 3 ingredients, but an explosion of flavor), the Neapolitan-style octopus, and desserts flown in from Sal De Riso on the Amalfi Coast. I just tried the summer menu (pictured here) and enjoyed the classic spaghetti and clams and the paccheri with colatura. The menu tastes like summer in Italy. No matter what you order here, you can't go wrong.

This place looks and feels very high end. We loved the vibe and the service. The food was disappointing, sadly. The focaccia was dry and probably old. We left half of it behind. The pork entree was good but it came with no sides and thus did not feel like a complete meal. The ricotta ravioli was good, the dough a bit too “al dente”. Lemon dessert was the best thing of the meal, and it was only okay. Will probably won’t come back and instead fo to any of the other excellent italian places around

I recently had a lovely brunch with a friend at Flora. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, with a minimalist but comfortable vibe. The staff was attentive, friendly and helpful. And the food was delish! I had the ravioli and my friend had the burger. Both dishes were so good. And we had Nogronis. I had never tried one and I loved it. I highly recommend Flora.

Tried for the first time this month after having this on our list forever! During the week when it is less busy they serve smaller plates and open up their whole menu so you can taste it all. The two of us shared 4-5 different small dishes and everything was truly SO tasty. Pasta is obviously amazing and you can’t go wrong with anything from the drink menu. I have something similar to an Aperol spritz and it delivered! Loved our server- they had great recs and were super kind. Will def come back when it isn’t rainy so we can sit in the cute outdoor seating!
