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'll start off with that I was able to get one, and I am so glad I did. Theres a warmth of nonnas that's made this one of the most unique dining experiences out there. You can feel the love of nonnas cooking in each dish and the joy it brings them. They have a rotating selection of Nonnas along with their classic Italian menu. The Italian menu had food I've never really had before, all executed so well. I had an entire lambs head (not for the weak), so I got to eat cheek, eye, brain, etc. nonna maria had to come teach us out to cook it but it was a fascinating dish. The rabbit was also fall off the bone which I was just so pleasantly surprised by. It came with potatoes and carrots so it just felt so homey. Nonna Elizabeth was Puerto Rico was the featured chef and she made salted cod fritters, which at first, I was like it sounds interesting, but it was so well seasoned I ended up loving it. Got a pork and rice dish also, and the rice was so fascinating. It had olives in it and the pork was well seasoned. They really make you feel valued and that you're in nonnas kitchen. Everytime you go, you're going to get a different experience with the featured Nonna. For real, try this.

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.
