    Calamari Fritti ( Gluten Free)
    Ken L.

    Great local takeout and huge portions. i was a little shell shocked originally by the prices considering the casual atmosphere but then the portions came out and I changed my mind. it's actually a great deal for the price because the portions are so huge, more family style! You can see in the photos I sent to my fiancé I even put my fans as reference I couldn't believe the portions. Everyone who works there is always so nice and the pasta is nice and fresh which i find lacking from local comp.

    Chicken Parmesan
    Tamika M.

    Came here on a Friday to celebrate my dads 70th birthday. The staff here is always friendly and welcoming. I've been coming here for years and constantly order catering from them. The food is always fresh and delicious. There has not been one dish where I can say I didn't like it. Everything is so delicious. As soon as we were seated, our server brought out their delicious focaccia bread. For starters, we ordered fried calamari, mozzarella sticks, and fried shrimp. The calamari was fried perfectly, nice and crispy. The kids enjoyed their mozzarella sticks. The fried shrimp were delicious. I would have like to see a tartar sauce option for the shrimp, but other than that, a squeeze of lemon is just right on the shrimp. For our main entrees we ordered chicken rollatini with a side of penne a la vodka, Frutti di Mare in red sauce, Pesto with grilled chicken, Penne a la vodka with grilled chicken, chicken parmigiana, side of grilled chicken Caesar salad and grilled octopus from the specialty menu. Everything was delicious. The octopus was cooked to perfection. It was nice and tender bursting with flavors. For dessert, we ordered ice cream and the chocolate mousse cake. The cake is delicious. Overall, we had a really nice time with delicious food and amazing staff. There is something on the menu for everyone to try. Thank you, Da Nonna Rosa, for having us.

    Pesto Pasta Dinner
    Reema S.

    On a quiet hilly avenue of Park Slope Brooklyn resides this beautiful quaint little Italian eatery, dishing out some of the most wholesome, delicious cooking in the neighborhood. I had been eyeing this place for a while, so when my date a number of weeks ago asked - where would you like to go? I couldn't think of a better opportunity to sample what's been on my radar. I will say this review is for their pesto pasta - it is creamy, and it is dreamy. I love the depth of the sauce, I love the little bites of whole pine-nuts. I love how the sauce glues on to the pasta and every crevice. I love the sauce to pasta ratio because as a pesto enthusiast nothing is more disappointing than not enough green goodness coating your pasta. This is hands down one of my favorite pesto pasta dishes, and I frequently order it on delivery too! Adding broccoli rabe or grilled chicken only elevates this amazing dish. Oh and if you get the chance, get it with the house-made fettuccine!! You will not regret it.

    officially found real Italian home style food Definitely a great ambiance for family gatherings the portions are plentiful. It's hard to find good fish dishes but Nonnas knows how to make a delicious branzino The gnocchi were Service was cozy

    Frutti di Mare
    Vicky P.

    Amazing food and service! We ordered the Frutti De Mare and the Chicken Parm with roasted eggplants. The portions here were huge and everything was delicious. The seafood in the Frutti De Mare was substantial and extremely fresh. Will definitely be back to try the extensive menu! Super comforting Italian cuisine.

    Burnt pizza

    I asked the very nice staff for pizza not to be burnt on edges and overcooked. Unfortunately, $30.00 later and arriving home, it was just that. I was disappointed but the volume of business tells me people enjoy it. I gave it 2 Stars because generous on mushrooms and nice people.

    Margherita pizza
    Mae-Elisa S.

    This was the pizza place my friend said I must try when coming to NY. And we all know what everyone says about NY pizza! The service here was absolutely amazing. They were very helpful when trying to figure out which pizzas to order and try. They also made the pizzas fresh in about 10 minutes. The pizzas were amazing! We ordered a Margherita and Meat Lovers pizza. Definitely different than what I've had in California. The sauce is something else (in a great tasty way!) My friend also wanted to order the meat lovers pizza. Now, I'm not usually a fan of pizza with tons of meat toppings but I wanted to try it out of curiosity and I'm so glad I did because it was probably the best meat lovers pizza I have ever had. There was something about the meat toppings that had such a great flavor. It was absolutely delicious. This experience is one to put into the books!

The room is small and romantic, homemade pasta hangs in the front window, and the whole evening felt less like dining out and more like being invited into someone's family table in Florence. We started with the fritto misto, a well executed mix of fried fish and vegetables, alongside an insalata caprese that let fresh tomatoes, burrata and basil speak for themselves. From there we went family style, which is really the only way to do it here. The bucatini cacio e pepe was as much performance as dish, mixed tableside directly in the cheese wheel. The fusilloni di Gragnano from Puglia paired scampi with burrata, cherry tomatoes and arugula for a bright, briny plate, while the tagliatelle verdi brought a rich wild boar ragu finished with fresh black truffle. The two standouts, though, were the agnolotti ossobuco with veal sauce and pecorino fondue rounded out with thyme and lemon, and the lasagna Bolognese. That lasagna, layered with meat ragu, tomato and bechamel, may be the best I have ever had. We paired the meal with a bottle of Salvioni 2022 Rosso di Montalcino, aromatic and beautifully matched to the food. The space is cozy and intimate rather than sprawling, so a reservation is a smart call. Everything else, from the food to the atmosphere to the sense that someone's nonna was cooking just for us, made this one of the most memorable meals in NYC. We would return without hesitation.

It was absolutely amazing. Overall, a great dining experience, and I'd definitely return.

Overall it was good, but the combination needed better balance. The gorgonzola had a pretty aggressive bite, and paired with the saltiness of the prosciutto it became a little much. There were some greens underneath, and once I incorporated those into each bite, they mellowed everything out considerably. I actually think the greens needed to be treated as part of the dish rather than essentially garnish. For my entrée I had the special, a risotto with clams and octopus. The octopus was easily the best part. The clams were extremely small and pretty average, to the point that I'm not sure they added much to the dish at all. The risotto itself was also surprisingly bland and not particularly enjoyable on its own. Mixed with the octopus, however, it worked much better and became a genuinely enjoyable bite. That's ultimately where the dish felt a little uneven: the strongest component was carrying the rest of the plate rather than everything working together. Service was fine when I arrived, but became noticeably slower once the outdoor seating filled up. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor sections, but appeared to have only two servers, with the hostess also serving and a barback supporting the operation. Once the patio got busy, most of the staff's attention shifted outside and the indoor dining room received considerably less attention. Nobody seemed lazy or inattentive individually. It simply looked understaffed for the number of tables they were trying to cover. One additional server during the busy period probably would have made a substantial difference. And, admittedly a minor thing, an Italian restaurant having limoncello but no amaretto was disappointing. Nothing here was terrible. The appetizer had good ideas, the octopus was quite good, and the meal had several enjoyable moments. The food and service were just inconsistent enough that I couldn't quite call it a strong three-star experience, but it was close. I'd put it around 2.75 stars, which I'm comfortable rounding to three.

Of course, we did what we always do; showed up without a reservation haha... It was packed, and the hostess told us the was no way they could seat us. Defeated, we went outside ans sat on a bench trying to figure out our next move. Then the unimaginable happened. One of the people running the floor passed us outside, started chatting with us, and said, "let me double-check". A few minutes later, he came back and got us a table! He make sure we understood that we only had it for a short window bc they needed it back at a certain time -- but we got at least hour and a half to enjoy it so we were THRILLED. To us that was more than enough. He really went out of his way to make it happen, and honestly wish I remembered his name so I could give him the credit he deserves. And the service from there was outstanding. Even though we knew we had a time restriction, we never felt rushed or hurried for a second. Everything felt relaxed, attentive, and perfectly paced, which made them whole experience even better. Once we sat down, we started ordering as quickly as possible. The grilled clams were insanely good -- flavorful and with just the right little kick. The Nduja & sungold tomato toast was surprise favorite. The tomatoes were so juicy, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Simple, but SO good. The little gem salad was fresh, crunchy and exactly what we needed in between all the richer dishes. For pastas, I had the mafaldini with parmigiano, one of their signatures, and it was delicious. BUT... I have to give the win to my husband's pick, rigatoni alla diavola. I know they are completely different dishes, and Im usually a white-sauce kind of girl, but there was something about that bold, spicy flavor that just HIT THE SPOT. And dessert... The vanilla soft serve gelato and the warm rasberry tart together were the perfect combination -- creamy, warm, fruity, and just the right way to finish our lucky dinner. Lilia was absolutely worth the wait and definitely lived up to the hype. Another Brooklyn spot checked off the list -- and one I'd happily go back to.

For starters: the bread was good (hard to mess up though?) the squash was fine, and I wish the tomatoes had been heirloom or thicker cut. For mains: the sheep's milk agnolotti was not for me, it was oddly sweet, I'm honestly not sure why it's so popular. The rigatoni and gnocchi were very good - the rigatoni was perfectly al dente paired with good flavor and the texture of the gnocchi was perfect. Highly recommend ordering these. Dessert: they definitely don't skimp on the dessert, we each got our own but the gelato options were definitely shareable. They also had amaro options which I always appreciate but didn't get this time. The space was a little cramped indoors though that didn't bother me as much as the temperature. It was a really hot summer day and I don't think they had air conditioning? Or if they did it definitely was not at an ideal temperature as I didn't feel like there was much air circulation.

I can't say enough great things about the decor the ambience and imagining all of the past goings on in this restaurant. It's been watching over Brooklyn for well over 100 years now! That in itself is a Herculean feat! From what I was told it was very popular with the mob as they say... And that's why the kitchen which is at the very back of the restaurant has full glass windows so that you can see exactly what's going on in there. I guess some of these mob guys were paranoid and rightly so consider considering their history. I arrived with my friend on a Wednesday evening about 6 PM and there were some scattered tables but by 7 PM it was mobbed (pun intended ) in there!! our waiter was affable and patient and a quite enjoyable fellow. As a sidenote, you will not find any female servers they are all male which l lends to the old school vibe in my opinion. My friend ordered the lamb chops with broccoli Rabe. He enjoyed them but did mention that though they had great flavor one of them was slightly tough... It happens... My meal was pasta with Bolognese sauce with a dollop of fresh ricotta on top. It was delicious actually the sauce was excellent. I would've liked to have a different pasta shape but they did not have it. No biggie. I could really say the food was very good but it was not excellent but for me that was not an issue as I fell in love with the place itself. The service was excellent and the ambience was fantastic! I would definitely return again and I highly recommend it if you have never been you must at least go one time!!
