Went for a friend's birthday. 6 of us total and were seated at one of the long tables in the middle which I'm glad because there was another group of 6 that were in a booth and they looked very cramped. Other than that I thought the food was on point. Meatballs had a different spin than the regular red sauce restaurants usually give and were very good. We each got a different pasta and all were fresh and had great flavor. Would definitely come back.

Just came for brunch here today 1/11/26 at 130PM for pancakes. Made a rezz for 6 people. Was told there were no pancakes, no french toast, no avocado toast and one polenta dish left. How do you run out of pancake batter? Make extra to keep in the fridge. It's brunch.
Waited forever for coffee/tea, and the food. Awful service. How is this a running business?

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful and lovely brunch experience at Le Fanfare during Thanksgiving weekend. We were the only patrons (probably loads of people out of town for the holidays) and we had a great conversation with Carlos, who was extremely welcoming and kind to us. We had the steak and eggs as well as the lemon ricotta pancakes, both of which were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was really pretty, and the space felt intimidate without being cramped. I wish we got to try more things, and we will definitely be back for future meals. It might be a little bit out of the way geographically, but it was only a short walk from the G so don't let the location stop you from trying out this gem!

Le Fanfare is consistently amazing. The spaghetti neri and carbonara are two of my favorites, and the meatballs are a must…the sauce is unreal. I’m not even a cocktail person (team beer!), but theirs are so well made I always order one. And the whole staff from the bartender and waiters to management are always so attentive, friendly, and professional no matter how busy they are. See you again soon!!

A neighborhood GEM. We have been here several times and it never disappoints. Yesterday was super special. What a fabulous place! I booked a birthday brunch for a large group of 10 people and we could not have had a better experience. From the minute we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and took great care of us. The food was DELICIOUS, the cocktails were amazing and most importantly, the birthday girl was happy. Thank you, Le Fanfare, for everything you did for us. Special shoutout to Carlos. We can’t wait to see you again!

Food was really good but we were treated badly. Walked in with two children who were giggling and awing at the restaurants decorations.
The maitre d scolded my kids and wouldn’t seat us until they returned to the front of the restaurant. The restaurant was empty by the way. So I don’t think we were disturbing anyone.
Then he seated us in the worst seat. In front of the kitchen and bathrooms. And doors leading to the garden. It was so cold and uncomfortable. While there were booths available.
He thought my kids were going to be disruptive but they actually just sat and colored and read while waiting for our food.
Good food but not worth this treatment

Had a delightful experience at Le Fanfare. The drinks - martini and margarita were exceptional. The dishes are generous and absolutely delicious. The space is charming with a cool vibe. Would also like to give a special shout-out to Carlos whose conversation was a bonus to a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!

I dined here yesterday evening. It was amazing! The ambiance was inviting and warm. The service was impeccable. Our party ordered the asparagus, al pastor arancini, and broccoli rabe to start. For pasta, we decided on the malloreddus, potato gnocchi, and sweet potato agnolotti. The asparagus was outstanding, but the star for me was the broccoli rabe. The best I ever had; bitter and delicious with umami from the anchovies and sweetness from the raisins. Each pasta was on point, however the sweet potato agnolotti was perfection! The subtle sweet potato flavor combined with the sauce and crunch of the slivered almonds…chef’s kiss. The housemade focaccia and chickpea “butter” were phenomenal. I'll definitely be back.
Le Fanfare has long been our favorite neighborhood gem whether it’s lunch, brunch, dinner, or simply enjoying a great cocktail. This time, we brought our entire family together for a milestone birthday brunch for a group of 20, and the experience was outstanding.
The staff handled our large party with such warmth and coordination. Everything from the cocktails to the starters to our entrées was fantastic. They even helped us surprise the birthday celebrant and kindly served the cake we brought.
A truly memorable experience. Thank you, Nico, Carlos & team! Highly recommend Le Fanfare for any special occasion or simply to enjoy a great meal in Brooklyn!

We went there for a brunch celebration and a great meal and LA Fanfare delivered a memorable time. We sat by the bar because it was packed, but honestly they were the best seats! The bartender made delicious drinks, the service was quick and the food was astonishing pretty and delicious. We took great pics by the window (opens up). We will definitely come back to this delightful little restaurant that left such a big impression. It has alot of love to give. Thank you for a captivating experience.

Food was exceptional. They serve what seems like home made bread with the most flavorful spread, not butter. Portions were plentiful. Atmosphere clean, simple and well appointed. The staff was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Really fantastic place. They are reaching for Michelin-stars and they will definitely get there! Excellent service; very attentive, caring, professional, but not stuffy. Top levels of food and cocktails, even the bread was well beyond what one would normally expect. Something as simple as cauliflower was elevated, just by careful preparation. Perfect pasta... Attention to detail beginning to end. All was not perfect, there was one dish that wasn't so great but I won't say what it was, considering the crazy goodness of everything else, I would say it was just one of those things that can happen now and then, not a huge problem. Anyway, we will definitely be back!
