“Honestly, a stunning gem of a neighborhood restaurant. I loved their beet salad with dates, the dates were so soft and juicy. The pork chop was very good, but just a little bit dry for my taste. The desserts were smashingly good, we had the olive oil cake with cream in a prune sauce, as well as the coffee mousse. Would highly recommend!“

“The spinach mascarpone pasta was 10/10 the flavor was incredible! I would actually skip the ricotta toast- I wasn’t impressed. The rest was good, the squash pasta was another standout.
We were a tad rushed for a table of four, the rest of the pastas were OK (Ragu was a tad salty), good wine selection and cocktails were delicious all in all, 3.5-4/5!“

“Went last night for St. Valentine’s day, I must confess I ended up here by mistake, my reservation was in another restaurant across the street, but for some unknown reason I came here and it was amazing, my only regret was not being here before… Food was beyond amazing, the lasagna is a MUST! I have never had something like that before, would love to go back again.

I would think that on a busy day like this, service/food might not be the best, but they proved me wrong, staff was very nice,they didn’t take forever with our food, music was nice too.

Can’t wait to go and try the brunch one of these days…

PS: I tried the cucumber drink, which is alcohol free and it was also very good, the olive oil cake since the tiramisu had finished,it wasn’t bad but I bet they have better options for desserts.“

“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!“

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Always perfect Classy friendly smart delicious.“

“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.“

“It was such a treat to dine at Roman's in mid-October. I came on a rainy night, and the soft glow inside was inviting and warm. All of the food was delightful to the senses and DELICIOUS.

It would be hard to pick a favorite thing from the menu, since it was all so good (and since their menu updates all the time), but my table couldn't stop eating the Fava Bean Puree. All hail Chef Hannah and her team!

Not for nothing, it's also really nice to support an establishment that's committed to making the industry more sustainable for all who work in it.

Thank you so much for a wonderful special occasion dinner--I hope to return!“

“The food is top notch the very best,the baked clams are outstanding and you must dip with the bread the ravioli is to die for so creamy and fresh and try the seafood platter wow just enough seafood not over done.The price is on average with other red sauce restaurants.“

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.“

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!“

“Everything is great. Coming here over 25 yes. One thing I noticed who's overall incharge he is no Tony. And never will be. Stained tablecloth oil bottle on table dirty and greasy. Dirty windows. Tony would never have put up with that. I also miss his cooking. It's the little things. But Tony would never put up with this. Everything had to be perfect.“

“The food quality was noticeably better than just okay. The selection presents varied meal options. As usual, I found the sweet options most memorable. To highlight first, the staff's service is exceptional. I'm excited to try more items here.“

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

“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?“

“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!“
