New Italian restaurant on Cortelyou! Bring all your friends, it's a big space with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly and attentive. There are plenty of vegetarian options, including a decadent basil pesto gnocchi. The menu lists wines, including a few alcohol free ones, and they also have sodas (strangely not on the menu). Prices consistent with neighboring restaurants. Accessible restroom.

A new Italian spot on cortleyou has opened and we have been needing one for a while. Ordered the arancini and the fusilli pasta in the creamy tomato sauce with sausage. The arancini was enough to be a meal you get to giant rice balls. The pasta itself was tasty and the sauce was not too overwhelming. The service from the bar staff was great as I was sat at the bar

Ordered from here on Grubhub however it seems I am unable to write a review. Prices/serving size/quality does not at all match. This is $61 worth of food before the service fee and tip. The cheesecake in the picture is $11.70. The gnocchi with pesto was swimming in oil, topped with old basil, and was too salty even after draining the oil ($22) I really like supporting local restaurants in my neighborhood and am really disappointed. I hope they work on the quality!

This was our second time here since they opened. When we came when they first opened it was packed and service was a bit slow since they were overwhelmed. I got the rigatoni gricia which was great and my husband the chicken parm. Tonight was our second visit a few months later and it was empty. Maybe it was the time of day, Wednesday 7:30. However, the food was fantastic. I had spaghetti and clams and my husband the steak. My pasta was fresh, generous amount of clams. My husbands steak was delicious as well. It had a nice rosemary crust and the potatoes he loved. We then shared a cheesecake for dessert. The manager or owner checked on us a few times and was very nice. The outdoor garden area was very nice too. We will be back!

Either improve the quality of the food, or lower the prices. My Tuscan shrimp dish was not worth $28, as it had very small shrimp hidden under a lot of spinach. Perhaps pasta dishes are better? Non alcoholic wine on the menu but not available. Was very warm and quiet, too quiet on a Saturday night. I hope they can make some positive changes.

Everything was great! We started with the Ricotta crostini and Caesar salad. For our mains we had shrimp scampi and tagliatelle funghi. The flavor on both were delicious! Service was great. Will Definitely be back....our new favorite local spot!

The owners of this place feel like they followed a "How to Open an Italian Restaurant" manual -- and honestly, they executed it pretty well. There's not a ton of creativity, but the dishes are consistently good, which matters when the only other neighborhood Italian option is San Remo Pizzeria. The standouts are the pasta Bolognese and the mushroom tagliatelle, and the fusilli with sausage and the Brussels sprouts appetizer are absolutely worth ordering. The wine list, on the other hand, reads like it was generated by AI: a few hits, plenty of middling choices, and one or two you'll regret. Definitely taste before committing to a full pour. Service is polite but inexperienced. Servers don't seem familiar with the dishes or the wines, and some haven't mastered basic protocols like mid‑meal check‑ins or keeping a tab open. If you're here on a Tuesday, stay for the open mic hosted by Paul Decoster -- Tigerman -- a beloved local music fixture and genuinely good guy. Despite the critiques, I like Garlic and Olive. I live nearby, and I'll keep coming back. read more

When Purple Yam shut down, I was curious to see what would take its place. And apparently it is an Italian place. The general set up of the restaurant is the same with the bar in the front and tables at the back. People were generally nice when I came to the counter to order. The prices are semi decent. It is 18 dollars for a rigatoni alla gricia and they use actually guanciale instead of bacon or prosciutto. The flavor was decent. For the price, I am not expecting Eataly level quality but something that could satiate me. And it did the job. Maybe in the future I would try the other pastas or do sit down. read more

Just a few suggestions: 1. Create more "family style" experiences with the food; 2. Brunch should be a small buffet with classic breakfast items sprinkled in with simple Italian classics; 3. Offer unlimited brunch cocktails (i.e., mimosas); and 4. Host something like "getting to know your neighbor night. Without a full bar, y'all have to be creative. You literally can't afford not to try something different. I want to see y'all succeed. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It has nice ambiance, just like purple yam, the predecessor in the space. The food was just average. We had the beet salad. It tasted fine, nicely dressed, but it would better be described as a mixed veg salad with beets. There were very few beets. The branzino in parchment was ok. Fish itself was fine, with a few bland veggies. My tagliatelle with mushrooms was good. Very rich. A bit gimmicky as it's tossed in a big parmesean wheel. Looks cool. It's a very rich Alfredo sauce. Disappointing spot. read more

I love Ditmas Park and I am always hunting for new places to eat in this delightful hamlet. My beloved and I ate at the bar of Garlic and Olive. The charming bartendress didn't disappoint with the robust Nebbiolo and the wonderful orange wine. It went downhill from there. The sadness of some pre prepared garlic bread. The most certainly heat and eat arancini. The caesar salad was ok. The pasta vongole...boring overcooked spaghetti and chewy clams. Shrimp scampi, same pedestrian overcooked spaghetti and overcooked shrimp. Also, we didn't get our entrees at the same time...I would say they really need to research what good Italian food is, and probably some better kitchen timing, if they don't, this place will not last. read more
