    service was super friendly and attentive. felt sort of like a grab/go fast food place but you can definitely sit down and enjoy your time as i did! we got the calamari, a slide of pizza, and eggplant lasagna. ALL DELICIOUS! super generous portions! calamari was crispy and flavored. Everything was cheesy to my heart's content. love this place as a hearty affordable option for italian food.

    I love this place, I've been here several times for dinner and the food never disappoints. I've also ordered takeout from here and while delicious the pies definitely taste better when eaten here. There's ample seating inside and the servers are attentive. I'm suprised this place only has 3.5 stars since I love everything from their pasta to their pies. The sauce is what seals the deal for me here. This is truly a neighborhood gem and my family and I usually chose this as our pick for our birthday dinners Favorites are calamari, chicken marsala with spaghetti, grandma pie or margarita pie

    A la Vodka round slice

    La Casa Bella is the local Italian spot that I order from when I want to feel like I'm visiting my friend's Nonna's house for Sunday supper. The chicken Marsala is outstanding, plain and simple. You know you're in for a treat when the mushrooms are sautéed with a smidge of onions and the robust flavor of the wine sauce hits your nostrils within seconds. I always order angel hair with the same sauce and it's just perfection. The pizza here is also delicious and exactly what you think of when you think of the quintessential NY style pizza: thin, crispy, and crunchy crust with tons of flavor and high quality cheese and ingredients. Hands down, you will find the best Vodka slices, both Sicilian style and Neapolitan style topped with fresh mozzarella. The plain slice and OMG slice are also great. I find that if the plain slice is really good, the rest is going to be good too.

    Buffalo Chicken Pie

    One of my fav buffalo chicken slices, the only thing that bothered me was that the menu prices were not updated. Paid $38 while menu stated $33. Still a solid slice!

    Always good food, never disappoints. Everything is so good. It's hard to decide. You must try the vodka slice, you won't regret it!

    Eggplant pan slice
    Mike M.

    Strong 3.5 out of 5. Pizza here is good and gets the job done when you're starving and find yourself in south Brooklyn where there's no shortage of pizzerias. The eggplant pan slice is pretty good. Thick slices of eggplant on a pan slice with fresh mozzarella and sauce. The dough itself wasn't heavy at all and I could've easily went for another. White slice is fairly unique here in that they add chopped garlic and olive oil which brings it a step above the rest that usually leave it plain. It was good. Sicilian square was ok. Not heavy at all and was just about ok. Decent pizzeria! Ive been here a few times and its always busy so something must be right about this place. Try them out!

    Here is a photo of the Vodka square. So delicious you cant just have one!

    5 Star rating for this restaurant pizzeria. The food, Service and Ambiance was like being in an Italain Cucina! All the dishes were Homemade with love. you must order 2 Bodka Sauce Squares because they are so Awesome. The rice balls were so fresh and moist that when separate it in half its a little bit if heaven on earth! We go often with family and friends. So Yummy! Rose is always there to make you feel at hom

    Very cozy and friendly pizzeria. Service is great, & a perfect spot to sit down and grab a bite. Far from your average pizzeria restaurant. There's several pizzas to choose from. All look so delicious & the ones I've tried taste amazing. There's vodka pie, grandmas, buffalo, the list goes on. I've already ordered pizza on the go, but I do plan on coming again to dine in. Pay it a visit if you're in the area.

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.

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.

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!
