The space itself is beautiful, warm, and inviting, and the staff was absolutely amazing attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making the night special from start to finish. The chef and owners were incredibly accommodating, which made such a meaningful celebration feel effortless. We had a banquet-style, family-style feast, and the food was nothing short of impeccable. The spread was abundant and thoughtfully prepared: assorted cold cuts, shrimp, seafood salads, fresh vegetables and salads, tuna tartare, potatoes with mushrooms, crepes filled with chicken and mushrooms, skirt steak, lamb chops and so much more. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There was truly an abundance of food, and every bite was delicious. We even danced my parents hired a DJ and the atmosphere was filled with joy, love, and celebration. It was one of those nights you don't forget. A wonderful experience all around. Exceptional food, exceptional people, and a perfect place to celebrate something special. Highly, highly recommend.

I've been eyeing this restaurant for a while, and today was finally the perfect occasion--Father's…read moreDay! We made an early reservation and were greeted with a warm welcome. We chose to dine on the first floor, which has a chic, elegant vibe with beautiful décor and a relaxing ambiance. There was a special set menu for the day, and the selections did not disappoint. I had the Burrata Salad followed by the Branzino--both were fresh and flavorful, and the portions were huge! I couldn't even make a dent in my main dish. My husband enjoyed the crepes and the seafood linguine, and he was just as impressed. The kids' menu was a cute touch, especially with the clever dish names. When I asked my 10-year-old what she was having and she replied, "I don't care," I was caught off guard--until I looked at the menu and saw that "I Don't Care" was actually the name of the mac and cheese! So creative and fun. Drinks were great too--strong and satisfying for my husband, and I was happy to see a solid mocktail selection for non-drinkers like me. The only downside? There were only two dessert options available. I was hoping for a bit more variety, especially since everything else exceeded expectations. Overall, it's a 10/10 experience, and I absolutely can't wait to go back!

The food was great, but I'm giving 5 stars because of our server, Terry. This was my first time at…read morePastavino, and I already had good expectations based on other reviews, but the service was so on point. Terry was one of the kindest and most patient waitresses we've had. She took the time to give recommendations especially for the kids, kept checking in throughout our meal, and made sure we always had what we needed. I know some people might say, "Well, that's their job," but you can tell when someone really puts their heart into it and truly wants to make sure you have a great experience. We also had someone joining us later, and she never made us feel rushed or inconvenienced. She stayed patient, continued checking in, and was genuinely kind the entire time. The food was very good. I had pasta with clams and it was delicious. Our drinks and apps were delicious as well but great service can completely change an experience, and Terry really stood out and made our visit enjoyable. I'll be back for sure!!!!

I wish we had been sat in an area showing off more of the restaurant and its decor. The service was ok. It wasn't anything memorable. However, the owner (?) came over to us a few times to ask how everything was. We ordered a couple of cocktails. They were pretty pricey, coming out to ~$20 per drink. The branzino was delicious. It was everything I hoped for in a bite - buttery, soft, with some crunch and nuttiness from the hazelnuts. It all blended together very well. My fiancé ordered the maiale. His order was also very good and he enjoyed it.

I had wanted to eat the cappuzelle at Enoteca Maria, now Nonna's of the world, for years. Life got…read morein the way and we never made it there, and then once the movie came out, getting a reservation became nearly impossible. When they finally started using a reservation system, I was excited to finally secure one. I booked a reservation for 4 people, including one person who had been saying for years that she wanted to eat the cappuzelle with me. They also make you prepay on your card, which wound up being part of the problem. When we got there, we were seated for a while before anyone came over. We had already gone through the online menu and decided exactly what we wanted. When the waitress finally came over, she told us the burrata and the cappuzelle were sold out. That was incredibly disappointing, especially considering that was the dish I had wanted to try for years and one of the main reasons we came. She left so we could look over the menu again, and the two of us decided to order the branzino. Then we were told they only had one left. At that point it felt ridiculous. We were basically left with only a handful of pasta options and one chicken meal. I honestly do not understand how a restaurant knows exactly how many diners are coming that night, requires prepaid reservations, and is still running out of that much food by 7:00 pm. This was not the end of the night. It wasn't 10:00 pm. It was 7:00 pm. By then I was so frustrated that I told the waitress if I had not prepaid, I would have just left. We ordered the one branzino and made it very clear how disappointed we were. When it finally came, I was almost relieved they didn't have two, because it was impossible to eat. It was served whole, which I understand can have bones, but this was beyond that. It was so full of large and small bones that it was difficult to eat, and there was no effort made to debone it or even guide us through it. But the worst part was that nobody from management even attempted to smooth things over. No apology, no visit to the table, no effort to make it right. It felt like once they had our money, they did not care. I would love to say I loved the place and that I would fight for a reservation again, but I wouldn't. It is completely overhyped, and there are tons of Italian restaurants on Staten Island with better food, better service, and the basic ability to actually serve what is on their menu.

Mario consistently took care of my family and I every time that we come here; his friendly, warm, and attentive service is reflective of what exemplary service looks like! Our favorite appetizers are the blackened scallops and octopus carpaccio; the scallops were ALWAYS cooked to perfection where it's both extremely tender and flavorful! The sausage and pepper hero was also extremely delicious, where the sausage is not overly salty but still flavorful and paired perfectly with its tangy and savory sauce! The mushroom truffle pasta is our favorite, including our little toddler who is usually a very picky eater; its creamy but not overly rich, and very savory with perfectly cut mushrooms that's not too thin and provides the perfect bite! What can elevate the dish even more if they gave just a bit more pasta so there's more to enjoy! The pizzas were also perfectly crisp on the exterior and very enjoyable, where the pepperoni was also crisped to perfection! Overall, we have not yet encountered any disappointed dishes just yet, so I highly recommend coming to Patrizia's of Brooklyn for a fun and delicious experience! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

I truly wish I could give five stars. We attended a family-style dinner for my daughter's…read moregraduation from the NYPD Academy, and the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. The service was absolutely incredible--attentive, friendly, and one of the highlights of the evening. There were also some real standout dishes. The stuffed shrimp was very good, the lamb was excellent, and the short rib pasta was outstanding. Unfortunately, some of the simpler dishes missed the mark. I wasn't a fan of the pizza appetizer, the clams were extremely fishy, and the calamari was overly salty. In the end, the excellent service and the dishes that were done well carried the experience. While there were definitely some disappointments, there was enough great food and hospitality to earn a solid four stars overall. Congratulations to my daughter on her NYPD Academy graduation, and thank you to the staff for making the celebration special.
