“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“I just love this place... !“

“My husband and I have been going to Daphne’s since we moved back to Brooklyn. While food and service have been excellent without fail, Jackie is who keeps us coming back month after month. Her warmth, kindness, and knowledge are unparalleled, and we can’t imagine having a better time at dinner with anyone else.“

“We had our wedding at Rialto and couldn’t imagine a perfect ceremony and reception.

Dominic and the Rialto team were incredible. Super attentive and went out of their way to make sure our day was as special as can be.

We have no idea how but they managed to make sure the food was always fresh and hot when served, even the branzino, which is not easy to do all at once for ~75 people. Seriously impressive.

They really outdid themselves and we will definitely come back to Rialto for dinner which now holds a special place in our hearts. ❤“

“Great food, warm and welcoming staff.“

“Had a fabulous first time at Il Gigante. Sat at the bar - shout out to Matthew and Kayla for taking such good care of us. Great ambience, not too loud, but still a fun atmosphere. Food was exceptional. The pasta and all the ingredients were fresh and portion sizes were hefty! Great price for the food and drinks. Just all around fabulous! Cheers!!!“

“TL;DR: Grab a table outside, enjoy a glass of wine with a plate of pasta, and do some people-watching. This is an amazing spot to wind down the evening!

Food:
I have had the orecchiette (brunch) and the lasagne (dinner). I have also tried the chicken milanese panini. The food really is quite spectacular here: I love that you can really taste how high quality and textured the pasta is. For seemingly simple dishes, they do an amazing job at the flavor. They have good wine selection as well with some affordable options. There is also a happy hour as well to look out for!

Service:
The waiters here are quite friendly and very attentive. They regularly ask if you need anything, and they’ll come do water refills as needed. No complaints at all.

Ambiance:
Located on a street with a good amount of foot traffic but is not that loud. It’s very comfortable outside, and they have seating indoors as well (although I exclusively choose to sit outdoors here). There is a clean restroom downstairs as well.“

“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend“

“everything. food is delicious!“

“We came in here by accident and what a joy. Ambience is lovely inside you can actually hear yourself talk as you dine unlike so many other restaurants in nyc and their cesar salad omg. They just need more croutons and shredded cheese on it but wow those croutons oh my on another level.“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“Such a special family dinner at Misi. The vibe was warm and lively.

We started with the Grilled Nectarines and Whipped Ricotta Crostini (a must-order) and tried the Grilled Baby Artichokes - Amazing!

The pastas were even better: the Spinach and Mascarpone Filled Tortelli with Brown Butter, the Linguine with Anchovy, and the Mezze Rigatoni were all fantastic. Can’t wait to go back.“

“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to William, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Took my 2.5 year old niece to Da Adriano and they could not have been nicer or more accommodating to us. We ordered the bolognese and the special of the day which was pistachio pesto and better than any pistachio pesto i had in Sicily two weeks ago. My niece said it was her new favorite restaurant and she loved the pasta. Clean ingredients, evoo only and authentic! Can’t wait to come back to this neighborhood spot!“

“Sooooo good and so delicious and great attention A+“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“A wonderful restaurant - delicious food, wine, marvelous service. Thank you“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“We had a great experience learning how to make pasta! The food was so delicious. This would be something fun to do with a group or family members. Our waiter Mica was fantastic as well as the chef who taught us Anthony. Thanks guys for a fun night in NYC!“

“Well paced and enjoyable lunch. The waiter provided several recommendations that were fantastic. All the cold fish appetizers were beautifully presented and delicious. Pasta was perfect. Approachable wine list, including half bottles which are great when ordering a mix of seafood and meat. Celebrating our anniversary, every person who greeted us or came to the table wished us a happy anniversary, a lovely touch. Love the interiors and the transition from low intimate to soaring ceilings, detail paid to the lighting.“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“Great neighborhood place with fabulous home made pasta and wonderful service.“

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“Whether you live in NYC or visiting this fine city you need try Ill Tinello NYC on East side. I am in love with everything there. Wine, cocktail, food, dessert, staff and of course Benny. Everyone and everything is A+. The one and only negative point is when you have to leave. That is only followed but setting a date for a return. Love ya Ill Tinello NYC East !!!!“

“The food was amazing! OSTERIA did not disappoint! The way Italian food I’ve ever had! I will definitely come back! As an influencer I hope to influence my audience to try authentic Italian food! The cocktails and desert were so good! A 10/10 what an experience!“

“5 days in NY, spent 2 nights dining in this restaurant.. Like it love it ! Great food nice people ! Thx for the experience, greetings from Belgium.“

“The atmosphere and service were outstanding. We only went for desert and coffee. The chocolate cake was amazing. A couple we vacationed with has eaten dinner there 2 nights before and said how amazing the food was. One of the staff members even gave us a personal tour and history of the building. Will be back to Brooklyn and will definitely come back.“

“What's there not to love about a huge piece of the foundation that makes up Williamsburg Bklyn. A lot has changed in the area but this place is standing strong on its ground. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the familiar faces, family, and friends. It's never ending when you go there.“

“This place is such a gem, especially for summer or fall outdoor dining. The cucumber salad was my absolute favorite and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. It’s so simple, but the anchovy vinaigrette gives it that little something, and you can really taste how fresh the vegetables are.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful meal outdoors Saturday night. Waiter was attentive, food was delicious and atmosphere was quaint. Would definitely plan to be back again.“

“They treated us like Royalty!“

“Lovely quaint cozy little place. The food was excellent. I had the salmon and a side of mushrooms. Both were delicious! My husband had the ragu and said it was “solid”. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We had a great time. Thank you!“

“Very good restaurant, highly recommended! !👍👍👍“

“Love Fausto! Came on a double date recently and we were so happy with the experience. The food is really high quality (save space for the olive cake!), the ambiance is great, and you can just be sure you'll have a consistently delicious meal. Love having them in the neighborhood.“

“Always perfect Classy friendly smart delicious.“

“The food, service were outstanding. I’ll be back the next time I’m in NY.“

“We’ve gone several times, and it is always worth it! Food is great and the service is always above par. The owner, Arthur, is an amazing host and really makes sure everything is to your liking. His brother, the chef, not only makes spectacular food (including fresh bread!) but also the best limoncello. The sauce is made from tomatoes grown and distributed by their family in O
Italy, which aligns with the authenticity and quality of the food. Already counting down to our next visit!“

“best goddamn eggplant parm sandwich I’ve ever had they also carry canned DOP San Marzanos and jarred Calabrian chilis; if you know you know“

“So freaking good. Came here for the first time after watching the owners journey online. We got the mortadella sandwich and the Sicilian tuna—all divine. I’m gluten free and asked if they could put the tuna on a bed of greens and they did 10/10!! Would highly recommend. Also the staff was super helpful and accommodating.“

“Delicious food and great service“

“THE best Italian cuisine in NYC. Period. Bring the crew and make sure to order the butternut squash tortelli and bottle of Lambrusco.“

“The ribeye was excellent, and the ragù pasta was rich and full of flavor. The Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe were both good, though a bit simple and could have used a touch more seasoning. The Prosecco sangria was delicious, and we loved the tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The highlight of the evening, however, was our server, Javier. He was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. We’ll definitely be back.“

“We stumbled in and were surprised how amazing the food and drinks were! Francisco was our waiter and he was Amazing!!! I couldn’t ask for more. He was so informative and honest about everything and we are coming back tomorrow because he convinced us lol. We got the meat lover pizza, it’s Called the trio and I got the basic eggs and bacon dish, delicious! Francisco made our brunch say!!!“
