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.“

“First time at Misi and couldn't have asked for more. Both the appetizers and pastas were excellent - had a hard time choosing my favorites. For our first course we had grilled artichokes, white asparagus, and peppers with ricotta toast. All were simply prepared but seasonal and delicious. Pastas included spinach tortelli (very rich but tasty), fettuccine (perfection), bucatini with njuda (my favorite of the bunch), and gnocchi with sausage (meaty, fennel-y, and oh so satisfying). All the pastas were different but equally divine. Cocktails and gelato were great too. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top quality Italian pastas and appetizers that are seasonal, fresh, and simply prepared but deeply comforting.“

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

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“Dinner at old-school, red sauce joint, Bamonte in Williamsburg, one of the oldest restaurants in Brooklyn.

We are so glad we went early; this place is a scene! When we left at 9, there was not an empty table or seat at the bar. They still have a cigarette machine at the bar + two phone booths.

After cocktails, we had eggplant rollatini, chicken parm and pork chops with vinegar peppers, finishing dinner with Amaro Averna. The food was good; the service, outstanding.

And as a bonus, Kevin Kane from Law & Order SVU was dining there too!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I made a reservation for Roman's on a Monday evening for a date night with my partner, not knowing it would be the day we got engaged! Roman's was truly a perfect place to celebrate. The food is so gorgeous and balanced and there was never a moment I felt unattended to while we totally had space to enjoy each other's company. Roman's is all the good parts of a welcoming neighborhood spot paired with seasonal delightful food that impresses people over and over again (on NYT's top 100 restaurants in NYC). The portions are more generous than many high end restaurants and I swear every last bite was the best. I felt warm leaving this place and I'm so excited to go back again <3“

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

“A close walk from the Met. We went on a Friday night and asked for an outdoor table (our reservation did not indicate either inside or out). Service was wonderful. We started with the meatballs which were good, but it was only 4 small meatballs. I enjoyed the Rigatoni with Sausage and Mushrooms. The fettuccine with beef ragu was also good, but missing a little something. The cannolo for dessert was a highlight.“

“Food, drinks, and atmosphere are excellent!!“

“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“

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

Amazing food, decent prices, specially for cocktails and drinks in general, I appreciate they don’t intent to overcharge you
Service is amazing, we celebrate a birthday and they sang and so on. Very cute 🥰

“The environment is comfy and cozy when you walk into restaurant and they had host waiting for us to sit our table The food Was great, for me and my mom , and stepfather as we all ordered different things from meat to seafood, and pasta dishes. The one ravioli that had a little ice in it or cold which i take one star away from it. But other than everything was good. Also, the owner is very nice and came to talk to us to our table.“

“We hosted a reception following our wedding ceremony at Pizzette and it was the perfect venue. The restaurant held ~70 guests comfortably, the food was delicious, the servers were very kind and attentive, and our contact at the restaurant was incredibly responsive and easy to work with leading up to the event. We would recommend this space to anyone looking for a private event space! Or for a yummy bite to eat in the neighborhood.“

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!!!“

It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself. The manager Pure is friendly, and Gian who has been our waiter the last two times is wonderful. Top notch place.“

“Finally made it to Salvo’s and it did not disappoint. Serving some truly delicious sandwiches- we shared the mortadella with burrata/pistachio pesto and the eggplant parm. Hands down the best eggplant parm I’ve ever had. Such a beautifully curated space, feels special but not pretentious. You could tell everything was made with the freshest/high quality ingredients and the utmost care. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Recommended.“

“The food was delicious excellent service and the frozen rose’ drink was amazing 🍷“

“I had a really great experience. Everything we tried was incredible. The pasta was delicious and the salmon was super fresh and full of flavor.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made us feel right at home. If you’re in Brooklyn and looking for delicious Italian food, this place is definitely worth
visiting!“

“We don't get over to this part of the neighborhood often, but I would go out of my way to return to Briscola. Our pastas were full of flavor and unexpected complexity, and the service was really upbeat and charming. Bonus points for the dessert cart! Sophisticated enough for grown-ups but also worked for our 4 year old. Now can you tell us more about the namesake card game?“

“By far the best Italian in Astoria. Yes, it's very pricey (full on Manhattan prices) but it's a rare instance where you're paying for real quality.

Mushroom risotto with truffle was excellent, perfectly al dente, and not overpowering with the truffle. The ravioli were super delicate and definitely made fresh in house. Pricing at $32 and $38 is pretty nuts for a plate of pasta, but they were very good.

For appetizers, the calamari was clearly fresh, lightly breaded, and perfectly fried, and the meatballs were moist and tender.

Timing between the courses was great; enough time to digest and enjoy the meal with no rush.

Dessert - tiramisu and panna cotta - was fine but nothing special and overpriced at $14 a pop. I'd skip it next time.

All in all an excellent, albeit very expensive, meal and without a doubt the best Italian in Astoria.“

“Nice place, good service, pleasant atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
