The Malloreddus alla Campidanese was excellent, with fresh, chewy pasta and a rich, savory sausage sauce. The octopus was light, tender with a slight char and briny flavor. The dishes here are really simple but done with care. Just wish it wasn’t cash only

We had passed this place so many times - it was always poacked for brunch on the weekends! We decided to try them out for dinner, and we're so glad we did! First, a caveat: it's cash only (they do have an ATM inside) so no cards! It's a very beautiful, old-school, turn-of-the-century vibe that we love about Brooklyn Heights. We were lucky enough to get a table for two without waiting. To start, our drinks were awesome! The mixologist made a wonderful margarita and the best old-fashioned I've had literally in years! Their calamari fritti was breaded & fried to a very delicate crisp. The homemade pasta dishes were amazingly fresh too. We had pappardelle al funghi (mixed mushrooms, olive oil, parmesan) and tagilatelle al ragu di agnello (lamb ragu, cinnamon, cannanou wine sauce, pecorino) and both were out of this world with flavor and perfectly cooked al-dente goodness. Their torta al limone slice for dessert was outstanding as well. This was one of the best meals we've had in the neighborhood, and we told Morgan (manager/server) that we would return with friends. It's a must! (Just remember to bring cash! And by the way, the prices were very reasonable: all the pasta dishes were around $20, drinks $16)

Cozy quaint neighborhood gem with solid food — fresh ingredients, homestyle cooking, generous (by NYC standards) portions for sharing.
Even though it’s annoying that this establishment still accepts only cash in this day and age, we can’t help but keep coming back.

My fav cozy neighborhood spot. Ravioli all day

The food was very good, in my opinion a true Italian restaurant. It’s a great spot for a dinner date, with a chill and pleasant atmosphere.
However, keep in mind that it’s cash only (there is an ATM inside). I do find it a bit pricey for what you get, after all it’s pasta, but the quality is definitely there. The cocktails are also very good, though on the expensive side.
Overall, I recommend it for a special date night.

Beautiful restaurant. The food is just fine but it’s moderately priced. What killed the vibe was the incredibly rude wait staff (and owner or manager?? Couldn’t tell)

Neighborhood establishment! Good, simple Italian food that hasn't changed in more than a decade. Very reliable. Beautiful environment and reasonably priced.
Very cozy place to relax and have great food with friends. Rocko is the best! The entire staff of waiters are friendly and cool. My new favorite place. CC

All the class with none of the fluff. I'm an old man now but if I was back in my heyday this would be where Id bring all my ladies.

Even without mustard the burger was incredible!

This place is a gem. Well...don't come for the food. Come for the vibe. Can we all just promise to keep this spot in business forever? Sit at the bar for a drink and some bites and then enjoy a stroll in the most beautiful neighborhood in nyc.

such a cute neighborhood spot - feels tucked away and locals feel in the best way. come for drinks on the patio and stay for dinner. the food is good, not mind-blowing, but the service is lovely and makes up for it. perfect for a relaxed night out. great wine list and outdoor vibe. got the calamari, mushroom pasta, zucchini and hugo spritz.
