Good food, good service, good value! This is a good Italian restaurant in the heart of Williamsburg. Friday night 8pm I was surprised how EASY it was to get a table. Sat in the garden at the back. Calamari and Tuna Carpaccio appetizers were delicious. Bottle of Malbec at $24 very good value and decent too! The fresh bread is really good with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar dipping. My wife had Linguini with clams good size plate and she really enjoyed. I had the cavatelli with brocolli raab and sausage. It was very tasty but portion on the small side. My sister had the pepperoni pizza which was thin and crispy and her friend had the pasta with jumbo shrimp and also was on the small portion side. The waiter was very attentive and the service was pretty good. Overall everyone enjoyed what they had. Good place to eat! read more

Consistently excellent. The menu is not large but everything on it is well executed. Pasta is always perfectly done, appetizers are always delicious, desserts are few but good. There is a full bar and good wines by the glass to go with your meal. Great price for the quality since most main courses are around $20. Service is always good - quick, humble and unpretentious. We are regulars here and every time we visit we have the same consistently excellent experience. In summer ask to be seated in the garden - it's lovely. read more

Stumbled into this spot after seeing a movie in the neighborhood and we were comfortably pleased. Our server was personable and great and the house-made mozzarella appetizer with prosciutto black olives and a fennel frisée salad was ample and delicious. We will definitely be back for a full dinner very soon! read more

LOVE this place! The Italian owner, Mimmo, and his staff are fantastic, food is always fresh and delicious and prices are very reasonable! PLUS: brunch dishes are really cheap ($9 or so) and they still serve their full pasta menu then too. I love the gnocchi, black squid tagliatelli and truffle pizza (am vegetarian). They have a great, spacious patio space and floor to ceiling front windows that are perfect for the warm weather months too. read more

We came back for relaxed Saturday night Italian dinner. The service and food was just as good as the last time. Though I couldn't stray away from the squid ink pasta with seafood (still my favorite), we did order a couple of other new dishes: - Lamb Shank with gnocchi: The lamb shank was braised very very well. The meat was fall off the bone and was laden with a good amount of onion gravy. The gnocchi had a great pillowy texture. I do prefer it when they're pan seared but these were still delicious. The sage cream sauce was rich but not too heavy, just enough to be comforting. - Cavetelli with sausage and broccoli rabe: The cavetelli was fresh with a little chew but not too much. The sausage was flavorful, strong fennel and oregano spices. read more

I went to dinner here last night and wanted to praise this restaurant for doing outdoor dining right with covid-19 practices. All waiters wore masks & gloves and stood an appropriate distance while taking your order. In addition, the tables are spaced out very well so you feel safe. I've seen many other places seemingly try to cram their outdoor dining space to only borderline acceptable. I had a really enjoyable meal here as I didn't have to stress out! Service was also really attentive and good without being overbearing. Food wise - appetizers were better than the entrees. But next time I would try the pasta as I suspect that is more their strong suit. In any case, I would definitely dine here again! Thank you for a lovely evening. read more

I honestly loved this place. Went for an outdoor dinner tonight and the five of us took a little heated vestibule. The servers were wonderful and also full of personality in a great way. Our guy had a thick Italian accent and was very honest in his recommendations to us. He was also just very funny. We were there for 2.5 hours and actually did not get rushed along at all which is pretty wonderful. But oh my god the food! Apps: Homemade bread (incredible), a delicious burrata special and a salad that I actually enjoyed eating with apples and pecorino. If I could remake this I would eat it every day. Entrees: A gnocchi dough ravioli special that was a glorious cloud filled with fresh mozz, eggplant and a bechamel (I think) and lightly sauced with a pomodoro. I hope they make this a menu regular. It's interesting and just was beautiful to eat. The gnocchi dough is super delicate and the 3 ravioli had amazing flavor and texture. C Two zas: the amazing baci & abracci with smoked mozz, caramelized onion and pancetta (not diced, thinly sliced and layered in a crisp blanket on top of the white pizza. I will come back for this. Also, the sausage and broccoli rabe pizza, a Bianco as well, with a really nice crust and crisp tender rabe. Garlicky as it should be! These pizzas are billed as individual entrees but amazing to split. I was insanely full after two slices of each, a bit of the gnocchi and the apps. Dessert: mousse and cheesecake. Good, but I'm a savory gal at heart. This and drinks+ 2 bottles of wine set us each back about 50 each which is pretty incredible in my opinion. Baci & Abracci is a new fav! read more

Don't be dissuaded by the dark empty seating area visible by curbside, the main dining area is located in the back, a beautiful open air area covered over the top by a large tarp. Great place for a romantic dinner. I believe they bake their own bread, so crusty, chewy and flavorful I had to forcibly stop myself from devouring the whole bread basket. See my photos, everyone enjoyed their entrees, I would definitely go back in the future, I hope their bread will be waiting for me. read more

Delicious, authentic food, but what's more is the wonderful service, such a delightful experience. We really enjoyed the waiter, he had such a professional and kind demeanor. The food was very authentic Italian and all three dishes we got were delicious. Have been there multiple times and I've never had a bad experience. Highly recommend if in the area. read more

This is a good spot for dating, they have so many options for pasta. I had the squid ink pasta with seafood, I've honestly never had squid ink pasta before so that was interesting. The seafood is well marinated and grilled in tomato sauce but not overdone. The service is quite good, food came out quick from the kitchen and our waters were constantly filled. The only thing that didn't go well was due to the weather being cold, the food chilled down very quickly and I wasn't able to finish the rest of the pasta. read more

Excellent cocktails, food and service. Lost 1 star because the only song that played the entire 80 minutes we were here was Funky Town.

I love Italian food and Baci &Abracci not only has delicious food along with an spacious backyard but where customer service it's like no other. Mimi one of the owners is super welcoming. They are also child friendly and all their staff is very patient with the little ones and super nice. We ordered the margarita pizza, plain pasta for the girls and pesto spaghetti. I must say that the pesto dish was the best I ever had. You could taste the basil, pine nuts and it was so fresh. The beet gnocchi is still one of our favorite pastas. So please support local and swing by to Baci & Abbracci to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine. Thanks read more

Delicious & satisfying pasta! We order dinner from Baci & Abbracci every week, and the Pasta Bolognese is generously sized--2 orders is perfect for a family of 3. They give big portions of bread, which is perfect for scooping up the yummy leftover meat sauce. Their beet salad is also one of our faves. Highly recommend! read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant in Brooklyn because we were craving pizza on a rainy-ish night and wanted to seek some shelter from the weather. I would overall give this place 3.5 stars, but it is very confusing because it has very many mixed reviews. The day we went, they sat us on a weekend night around 7ish in the back courtyard area which was nice. In the front, they were having a huge 90th birthday party for someone which was very popular and cute. We sat down looked at the menu and heard the specials for the night. My girlfriend and I decided to order the "special appetizer" which was a cheese plate and then also a Parma Pizza for the two of us. The waiter was nice and helpful. Food: - Cheese plate: The cheese plate we got here had to have been the worst cheese plate I have ever seen served at a restaurant. It had store-bought packaged sliced cheese slices, store-bought sliced salami and ham slices, and a few dried fruits arranged on a plate. When they brought it out, I like had to do a double take because it looked so sad like a cafeteria cheese plate arrangement. I was very surprised that a nice Italian restaurant would serve this. It felt very manufactured and not like fresh cheese sliced from wedges or wheels and fresh meats. It was not very good to say the least and overpriced in my opinion. - Parma Pizza: The pizza was quite good for a Neopolitan pizza. Much better crust than the other Neopolitan place near us in DC, but there was an absurd amount of cheese on the pizza (like overkill of cheese). It was good though despite too much cheese, but not my favorite. Overall, very mixed feelings about Baci and Abbaracci. It wasn't a bad spot for dinner, but the whole cheese plate threw me way off. Seems like a pretty popular spot in the Williamsburg area though. read more

It's a great place for authentic Italian food. I recommend this place. Tyron the street, it looks average but loom can be deceiving

Service was excellent! Food was delicious; from bread, appetizers, salads, entrees & dessert! Ambiance... relaxing while drinks were overflowing and to top it all off, was able to catch up with family friends! read more

Baci & Abbracci - So good! Could not pass up their LASAGNA - Meaty, with thin layers of pasta & the perfect amount of cheese & sauce! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

When you're sitting next to a big family of Italians you know you've come to the right place. Ordered the Calamari Fritti and the Mozzarella e Pomodoroto to start. One of the best calamari I've ever had, must try. Fresh Mozz, soft and melts in your mouth comes with tomato basil and roasted red peppers. We ordered the Violette di Parma (beet gnocci) and the Pappardelle al Ragu D'Agnello both amazing. The gnocci was soft and had the perfect balance of creaminess and richness that you want in a pasta dish. The Ragu was excellent, not too heavy, perfect amount of shredded lamb over perfectly cooked al dente pasta. Great italian in the heart of Williamsburg. read more

I love their patio seating. I honestly couldn't tell if we were indoors or outdoors because the lighting was really blue. It was really spacious and felt v open. I came with a group of 8 which we were easily seated on a Saturday night. The menu looked like standard Italian pastas and pizzas. Luckily, they had a pappardelle (my fav) shrimp dish on their daily special. I was apprehensive that it was a seafood dish and not red meat, but they did not disappoint. This was one of the best pastas I've had in such a long time. I was so super full from day drinking but I managed to eat every bite. Beware: they added tip without telling us and we ended paying over double the amount in tip. We later looked at the receipt and it was not too clearly marked. It was our bad but the waitress should've mentioned it... read more

This place has been around for a long time (or it seems that way) and very much underrated. Fresh pasta...if you don't know, then you need to. You can feel Fresh pasta vs not so fresh let's say. The pasta and lasagna my friend and I shares melted in your mouth. It became one with us lol. The back yard was converted to a covid beauty of a space. The service was excellent as well. Again, the food was Amazing! I highly recommend it if you're in Williamsburg Brooklyn. read more

This is probably my new favorite Italian restaurant in NYC and I'm not even exaggerating. Went here for lunch on a typical Saturday of summer that was extremely hot. The staff was great and we started with a marguerita pizza and octopus with a cold glass of Sauvignon blanc. Let me tell you something - the octopus was the best I've ever had in a while. Super tender and huge portion. For seconds we got the spinach ricotta ravioli with truffle sauce and also the linguine with clams. Both were delicious and great portions to share. Will definitely be coming back very soon!! read more

You guys, the meatballs are insane!!! Great quality meat and such a good value!! 5 giant meat balls for such a great price. Absolutely amazing! The gnocchi with mozzarella is the best gnocchi i've had in my life and i've had lots of gnocchi. Super friendly staff and great drinks too :) read more

Food, service, and atmosphere were perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon brunch. I tried the Eggs Florentine and shared some of the spinach ravioli and gnocchi my party ordered. All were delicious. The server was amazing too. Highly recommend! read more

There's no shortage of restaurants on the south-side of Williamsburg, but when you have a movie to catch and want a drink or a bite it's hard to find a spot you know you can get in and out of. We had about 30 minutes before a showing at Wburg Cinemas and this spot is across the street so we popped in to see if we could just get a drink and maybe an appetizer. The owner/server was literally the most delightful host I have ever had and he didn't mind that we were going to sit at the restaurant and just have a drink. We ended up ordering a pizza and salad and it was all ready in MINUTES. The place wasn't crowded on a weeknight (around 6:30pm on a Thurs) which was surprising because the food is decent. Their signature pizza was great! The food is slightly pricy, but for the quality of service I'm giving it 5 stars (and convenience to the theatre). read more

All the food was great, and the service was some of the best I've ever had! Nicest people ever, and very cute interior. Everything was family owned and oriented. This is a must go to! read more

I was fortunate enough to work with Mimmo and Paolo for my wedding which we hosted at Baci & Abbracci. Everything, truly EVERY DETAIL, was spectacular. We hosted the ceremony in the back patio and then spread throughout the restaurant for our reception. Mimmo and his team were incredibly responsive, quick with their work, and supremely professional. Mimmo was a true and willing partner throughout the entire planning process and offered flexibility as well as sound guidance and exceptional communication. Everything about our experience with Mimmo and Baci & Abbracci was perfection - and the final execution was even better. Throughout the night, and in the aftermath of the wedding, my fiance and I heard from our guests what an amazing time they had and how exceptional the food and service level was. Thank you, Mimmo, Paolo, and the entire Baci & Abracci team for bringing our perfect event to life and sharing your wonderful restaurant with us! read more

People always come to visit NYC on the weekends. This is great for many reasons. Less work, more stuff going on, brunch specials, etc. This is not as awesome for one main reason. The subway. What normally connects me from my world to other wonderful neighborhoods and events, people and places from far away lands such as the.... Upper West Side. Well, on the weekends these are shut down for repairs. I have to reassure friends and family that "there is normally a subway here." Sometimes, instead of dealing with it I'll just walk. Enter Baci and Abbracci. Starving and exhausted from the day's activities, I stumbled across this place with a friend from NJ. We decided to check it out, and I'm sooo glad we did. The pizzas here are so good! We each ordered a pizza with the intention of sharing. We had the Quattro Formaggi (mozzarella, gorgonzola, parmigiano, and goat cheese) and the Siciliana (smoked mozzarella and eggplant)/ They were good sized personal pizzas and very fresh. While we debated which one was better, I would say that Quattro Formaggi was the better one. The stronger cheeses like the goat cheese were very well balanced with the others and did not take over the flavor of the pizza. This was a simple meal. No frills. No appetizers. No desserts or glasses of wine. But just perfectly executed and simply delicious. Will definitely be back to this place the next time that I'm in the area. There were some other things on the menu that I'd really like to try. And with a name like Hugs and Kisses (in Italian), how can you go wrong? XOXO, indeed. read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant - no wonder it wasn't crowded when we went for dinner on a Saturday night...two other Italian restaurants had a 30-45min wait, so that's why we tried Baci. We sat in the back outdoors area, where there were 3 other tables of guests (no one was sitting in the front - that should have been a red flag!). They gave us bread and olive oil, but no plate for the bread. We shared the grilled octopus, which was overcooked and rubbery. I had the linguine con vongole - the pasta was undercooked and a bit too hard, there was no flavor AT ALL (it seemed like a touch of white wine and olive oil, no garlic). They could have added more sauce because the pasta was dry...I ended up pouring some of the olive oil on the table for the bread on the pasta. All in all...I will not be dining here again. read more

Love this great Italian Restaurant! Food and staff are fabulous. safe clean environment spacious seating in and outdoor. always have great specials. Highly recommend. 5*+++ stars. great ambience too!! read more

Strong 4 This place absolutely deserves a full cumulative four for many reasons, not least because it has achieved definitive survivor status in what is undoubtably the most profoundly changed neighborhood in the city over the past decade. I lived in Williamsburg basically 10 years ago, and while its bohemian prime may have been a few years in the rearview by the time I arrived, it was still a far cry from the generic Disneyland for trustfunders/baby bankers/Eurotrash that is has sadly devolved to thanks to the horrific redevelopment out from the waterfront to parts beyond. This place was newly opened back then. Then, as now, I would always worry that the place might close since I would often see it near empty or worse. Maybe many others like myself were keeping them afloat all this time by ordering delivery upwards of several times a week. Regardless of the reasons I am glad this place has survived thru the extreme change of the past decade, since its quality has remained excellent to the point that I would feel comfortable declaring it one of the overall best restaurants in Williamsburg, then or now... The place is operated by real deal true Italians, not Italian Americans. There super tight pants give this away even before you hear them speaking in Italian, and then the food even confirms it. That food is excellent, especially the house made pasta. The Cavatelli with broccoli raab with sausage, as heavy staple in NYC area trattorias for at least a decade now, is perfection, the dish I am likely to order anywhere from once to several times a month for many years now. Like I said this dish is about as ubiquitous as the come around these parts, yet I cant think of another place with a version that even comes close. Other killer pastas include a heavier but delicious beet gnocchi with a thick creamy decadently cheesy gorgonzola sauce, solid linguine and clams with tiny Manila clams, and a vegetable ravioli which can satisfy even a devout carnivore like myself. While the pastas are my go to here praise is also due toward the strictly Neopolita. style personal size pizzas put out from the impressive oven on display at the rear of the super Mod dining room area. I cannot off the top of my head recall ever getting any main courses here, although I likely have. I am simply coughing that up to the fact that the pizzas, and particularly those pastas are so damn good. As I mentioned the interior decor is aggressively mod. I find this acceptable as its in keeping with the full on Euro vibe of the place, however it simply might be too much for some to take. If this is the case for you, and the weather is agreeable enough, I would recommend making use of their lovely back garden. Of course you could also join the apparent multitudes like myself who opt for takeout. Either way you will be rewarded by receiving excellent Italian food, as well as helping to insure that this place remains an asset to this now dubious neighborhood for many more years to come. read more

Baci & Abbracci - Cavatelli w/Broc raab, sausage - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I absolutely love this restaurant. They have been a welcomed addition to the neighborhood since summer 2006. The BF and I eat there at least once every 10 days or so. They also deliver for those yucky winter nights when you don't want to get off the couch. We're suckers for the boston bibb lettuce salad with green apples, pecorino, and walnuts. It's yum. We also get the margarita pizza and it's a perfect evening for 2, under $20. If you're feeling bold, try one of the several delicious sounding specials. I've also tried both Gnocchis and both are delicious. I keep saying the word delicious. It's kind of pissing me off. Delicious. read more

did not have the best experience. my friend ordered a side of meat with her for her pasta ENTREE. the waiter never told us there were no sides of meat. it wasn't until we got the bill did we realize she was charged for a FULL STEAK ENTREE. but the steak didn't come with any sides so we had no idea. $42 later - for just the steak. my friend is a waitress so she didnt to make a fuss. I called the next day to talk to someone who was just like "sorry the waiter didn't tell you we don't do sides." WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE AGAIN. read more

We had a really fun time here. Came for a farewell dinner for my daughter and her family who are moving to out of the country. We needed a place that was well reviewed and could take a July 4th reservation for 9 people, outdoors. They have a lovely back area that's half covered so even had it rained we'd be ok. Every dish was tasty and well prepared, we all shared, the wine was good and the service was terrific. Even though it's a bit of a hike from park slope we'll be back. read more

Just popped in with a minute reservation. The meatballs were incredible, the pizza (we ate for for an app) was f* ing bomb, everything was to die for. The waiter, I can't remember his name sorry, was attentive and super nice. Go here! Get a table before it gets discovered! read more

Very authentic Italian food. We ordered the mixed salad (9/10), the meat ball (9/10) and the sausage, mozzarella and broccoli salad (8/10), the broccoli is slightly on the bitter side, but the dough and the cheese are so delicious! The food was definitely the highlight, the service is slightly on the slow slide, but I guess that's part of the authentic experience with Italia food :) read more

This is by far my favorite Italian spot in the area! I've only eaten there twice but we order from here at least once a week. The delivery is always quick and the food is always warm and delicious when it arrives. The delivery staff is always pleasant and if you call to add on an item they are always happy to accommodate and update. Here are a few of my favorite go to items: Appetizers: -Calamari -Gamberi -Bietole rosse -Parmigiana di melanzane/ Pizzas: -Baci&abbracci -Salsiccia e rapini -Peperoncino Mains: -Cavatelli con rapini e salsiccia -Spaghetti al pomodoro -Chicken parmigiana You honestly cannot go wrong.
