When in New York, Italian food is a must! My friends had gone to this restaurant recently and…read morerecommended it, so we decided to go for Sunday dinner. I called the day before and made a reservation which was definitely needed as it was quite busy. The portions here are enormous, so based on past experience where they ordered 3 pastas for 4 people, we ordered more moderately. Our server was great and very accommodating. My friend is vegetarian so we asked what pastas they could make other than the vodka pasta and pasta alla Norma vegetarian, and he said basically everything could be made without meat which was a game changer. That night they had a fried calamari special so us non-vegetarians enjoyed that. It was SO good, seriously some of the best I have ever had. It was perfectly breaded and the sauce was so good. We also ordered the zucchini chips that were also incredible to share. They were so crispy and coated in parm, and had the same amazing red sauce. We decided to share the orecchiette with broccoli rabe, and got the sausage on the side. This was so delicious, we devoured it. Our server also brought us red pepper which really took it to a new level. The sausage was also delicious but the pasta was great without it too, like it wasn't missing the sausage but it was a great addition. Sharing 1 pasta was the right move as we were certainly full, but not overly full. Brooklyn roots is a great neighborhood spot, and you could tell there were a lot of regulars there. They also brought out fresh (free) bread that was soft and warm, that is from a local bakery. It's absolutely worth the trek to bay ridge!

The service was good, nothing over the top, but everyone was friendly. The food came out hot, but…read morewe had asked for everything to be served together since we ordered a pasta, meatballs, and chicken Marsala to share. Instead, the meatballs came out first, then the pasta, and finally the chicken. It wasn't a huge deal, but by the time the chicken arrived, the three of us were already getting full. One thing I'll definitely give them credit for is the portion sizes. For the price, you get a lot of food, and the pasta and meatballs were both really good. Unfortunately, the chicken Marsala was a miss. The sauce was incredibly sweet so sweet that we honestly couldn't eat it. We didn't say anything because sometimes a dish just isn't for you, but it ended up going in the trash. In hindsight, we probably should have ordered something else. The drinks were fine, nothing memorable either way. Overall, I'd come back for the pasta and meatballs, but I'd definitely skip the chicken Marsala next time.

It's not too loud either -- you can talk to others without yelling. The insalata verde is delicious. It's nice and simple, like many Sicilian foods, containing arugula, pistachios, caciocavallo cheese, olive oil, and maybe a hint of lemon. Everything is made fresh, including the sauce, which is tangy and authentic. I have ordered a side of sauce before and the owner gave me a nice portion. I think he should add it to the menu as I'm sure I'm not the only one who would buy a big container of it. We also love the arancinette (rice balls with cheese). They are crispy on the outside while still tasting light. We have also tried various pasta options, which have been great. The owner even brought out frozen grapes in the summer one time, which was a nostalgic treat.

The owners are making their family Italian recipes in Bay Ridge. Everything is fresh and tasted amazing. From the fresh baked bread for the heroes to the mind numbing cannolis. It's that good. Walking inside, you're surrounded by Italian goodness. Freshly baked breads in the front, italian pastries in one case and the main case has their deli items like homemade caponata. My sandwich, the 27. Grand Porco made with freshly made Porchetta, and shaved parmigiano was a game changer. Anyone who orders from L'Angolo Di Palermo can appreciate the love the owners put into creating this sandwich. Lets talk about their Italian pastries. Mamma Mia! The L'Angolo Di Palermo cannoli was one of the top cannoli iI had in New York. (can you tell I'm a fan?) L'Angolo Di Palermo, it was a pleasure to dine at your establishment.

You could tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. Even with how busy it was, she stayed friendly, patient, and attentive. She never made us feel rushed, answered all of our questions with a smile, and made our dinner that much more enjoyable. Great food, excellent service, and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to come back. Gino's has definitely earned a spot as one of our regular date night restaurants. Looking forward to our next visit!

I particularly enjoyed the three seafood offerings. I'd definitely recommend it if it's available on the standard dining menu. For my main course, I opted for the chicken parmigiana. It came with a side of string beans, carrots, and mashed potatoes. We had the cheesecake for dessert.
