    I went w a friend after having a spa day and this place came up on my TikTok feed so I decided to try it .. they didn't have seats available outside but they had a patio that we decided to try. Everything was going well until it looked like it was going to start to rain . We were sitting in a corner of the patio which when it did start to rain we were getting soaked and when asked can we be moved inside was told the inside was full. So I'm sure this is not the first time it rains so don't you think they should be prepared for this? Our appetizer came was getting wet wasn't to happy with my pomegranate martini we still stood there they just moved the tables more inside n even to another table which still was getting wet but still I was getting soaked not even offered a complimentary drink for the inconvenience or maybe a discount for what was happening I wanted to get up n leave but we was like we here let's just deal with it. I think the establishment should handle these scenarios better besides that the food was fresh but just took a few bites n wanted to leave I was over it and I'm shoulders were wet wanted to dry up . So to the establishment maybe try to get a better cover when it rains or don't sit anyone in the patio if it's raining .

    I was in the Williamsburg area window shopping and I happened to be near Oregano plus it was bookmarked. The restaurant doesn't seem that large from the outside, and in this case looks aren't deceiving. The circular tables were too small for the amount of food that we had ordered. I don't suggest coming here if you have a large party. However, the decor was very festive so that made up for it. The service was great too. We had decided to start off with the Truffle Burrata Crostini which was very good. The Chicken Francese which came with noodles was a good portion size. However, the Williamsburg pizza, I could've done without. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be and it was a bit too salty for my taste buds. I was told that it's a popular dish which had me wondering. Of course, I had to eat dessert, we got the Nutella Sundae. Omg! I would have ordered another cup of this dessert if I wasn't so full.

    Another cute whimsical vintage decorated spot in Williamsburg. A tiny kitchen pumps out pizza and pasta with some salads and mains. I do think the pizza was a tad on the small side but it was exceptionally tasty, it's not a true Neapolitan style, it's kind of a cross between that and a thin NY pizza. The staff were really nice, and prices were average for Brooklyn. It's a small spot so I wouldn't recommend for large groups unless you reserve in advance.

    So good that I was here twice in one week! Food, drinks, ambiance are all 10/10. Their cocktails are some of the best I've had--highly recommend their pomegranate martini and blush punch. For food, I love anything that has their vodka sauce (gnocchi vodka/penne alla vodka). The gnocchi was perfectly dense and soft at the same time and the penne was cooked perfectly. I would recommend adding their breaded chicken on top! Their chicken parm is cooked beautifully and I didn't feel disgustingly full and bloated after a decent amount of carbs and fried/breaded food. This spot is small but the ambiance is *it*. There is an open kitchen so you can watch the chef prepare everything--pretty cool! Good date night spot or for smaller groups. I also would recommend making a reservation to ensure that you can grab a seat where you want (dining room or outside). Service can take a little longer at times but it is so worth the wait!

    Had a wonderful dinner with my family of 4 at Oregano to celebrate Father's Day this year! It was our first time dining there. We made a same day reservation and were seated immediately as we walked in. The space is tiny. We went around 6:30 and it was very dark inside/dim lighting, but cute. The walls covered in shelving storage holding up extra bottles of wine, champagnes through one whole side of the wall - looks nice. I noticed that our host, was also our server and bartender. He was moving fast throughout the space and was very kind and attentive to our table. We all enjoyed our meals: for the most part all ordered a pasta dish that we enjoyed. My daughter, who is 10, ordered a pizza she didn't enjoy and had a few complaints: there's no children's menu options and the round tables together is weird and uncomfortable, too many gaps in btwn. Feedback: add a children's menu for simple option like meatballs, chicken cutlet, small sized pasta dish

    Such an amazing experience! My friend and i were able to snag a table around 9:30 (shoutout to the hostess forreal!!) the ambiance is so cute! Perfect for friends or dates. The music wasn't too loud and the service was impeccable. Now onto the drinks and the food: 100% fantastic! My friend had the prosciutto pizza and i had the fettuccine alla vodka with lobster. Fresh homemade pasta. Lobster pieces were huge. My friend's pizza was sensational- perfectly doughy without being burnt and the sauce was so good! If i didn't eat before dinner, i would've eaten more dishes! I cannot wait to come back! You will not be disappointed.

    So cute

    Amazing food, friendly helpful accommodating staff. This place is cute authentic, reasonably priced and perfect. Ila was wonderful and moved us indoors because it got cold. Thanks so much. Will be back.

    This place was *chef's kiss* amazing! We ordered a bottle of the Chianti with the burrata appetizer, gnocchi vodka and Williamsburg pizza. My favorite was the gnocchi, I could literally take a bath in that sauce. You could also tell the gnocchi was made fresh, it was like biting into a pillow. Also enjoyed the cozy feel of this place + our waiter was great. Would definitely recommend!

    I came here Tuesday evening after I spent the day at Bathhouse spa. It was a couple blocks away. The restaurant was small but really nice inside. I sat by the window that was open so there was a beautiful breeze. The server immediately came over and greeted me. He was very friendly and attentive. I ordered garlic bread and penne a la vodka. The food was really 11/10. Wow! Every bite, I couldn't believe how good it was. I didn't have any room for dessert but I can only imagine. I will definitely be coming back. This is my new spot! I'm in love!!!!

    Do they take reservations?

    Call ahead and let them know you are coming. Longs you're there a little ahead of the time you specify with your party you should be fine. It's kind of like a "loose" reservation policy.

Passion project - delicious drink with notes of passion fruit, chocolate, and some spices. The others in my group also had the duck (which they found to be a bit overly loaded with duck fat) and the reginette (which they enjoyed). I'd love to see a more balanced vegetarian main course make it on the menu sometime. The bill for 4 people came to nearly $230 after tax and tip.

This place does get busy so recommend making reservations if you can. They have a pretty nice wine list to choose from along with different cocktail options. From the start, the food was delicious starting with the house bread which was warm and soft but still felt light. For dinner, I ordered the special for the night which was cacio pepe ravioli, while my husband got the tagliatelle verdi con ragu. Both of our pasta dishes felt extremely fresh. The ravioli was unlike anything Ive had before, with flavorful cacio pepe filling and a butter sauce with pancetta complementing the flavor. The tagliatelle was also delicious in a more ragu centric way, still offering a good balance of flavor. Both dishes were pretty filling and so neither of us could finish it. We ended the night with cannolis, which was a pleasant surprise to find 3 came in 1 order. One side is pistachio while the other had a coco dusting. These were again delicious but pretty filling and sweet so we could only eat one. The staff here was also very friendly and service was quick with food coming out much faster than I expected. Overall I would come back and try even more on their menu.

The bartender was quite friendly, and made me a Piccante (spicy tequila/lime/pineapple situation, with a tajin rim) that was solid. My wife wasn't too hungry, so we only ordered a couple items to share. The Insalata Marzamemi (quinoa, avocado, greens, seared tuna and more), and the ossobuco agnolotti. They brought us some complimentary rosemary bread and oil to dip it. I'm not one to look free bread in the mouth (I think that's the saying), but it was not my favorite bread service. Both the bread and the oil needed salt. But it was warm, and I appreciated the gesture. The salad and pasta were far better. Both were surprisingly large portions for the price (this is NYC in 2026), and paired quite well together. The salad was piled high with fresh ingredients, and there was a nice sear on the tuna. It was only a couple of dollars more than the Greek salad, and a steal. The ossobuco agnolotti with its pecorino fondue and veal sauce was rich, and quite filling. There were at least a 15 of the filled pasta pockets, and well worth the price. All in all, a solid stop for some good portions of Italian food at a good price.

    Oh the old school thrill of an old school beauty of an establishment like Bamonte's!…read more I just love this place so much! 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!!

    Rating: 3.5/5 I…read morediscovered this restaurant on Instagram as one of the top Italian restaurants in NYC, so I decided to try it. It appeared to be family-owned in Williamsburg and consistently drew a large crowd throughout the day and night. Upon entering, I noticed the restaurant was keen to maximize seating, with diners placed very close to one another. The restaurant appeared to have a very old-school vibe; maybe that was the theme they were going for? The food ordered was: 1. Calamari - They weren't overly fried or coated with breading. Tender, and not rough. Flavorful enough; no sauce was needed (although it was included). A good appetizer. 2. Rigatoni with vodka sauce - Maybe it's my taste buds, but I thought the sauce lacked seasoning and flavor overall. The pasta was cooked well (al dente), but the lack of flavor from the sauce ruined the dish. I was really excited about this dish! 3. Cavatelli with Bolognese Sauce - I've had bolognese sauce before, & this dish was just weird. It felt like they just did it within 5 minutes of cooking time, & it was something you could've just made at home yourself with a jar of Prego sauce. It also lacked seasoning. 4. Chicken Parmigiana - I'm a huge chicken parmigiana fan, and I feel like it's always a must if you eat at any Italian restaurant. This dish was well seasoned, not overly fried, not heavily covered with cheese, and smothered in a good amount of sauce. The chicken wasn't dry either; it was tender. Weird part was it was served with a side of string beans & potatoes, not pasta. This was one of the best dishes of the night. 5. Chicken Marsala - Just like the chicken parmigiana, the chicken was tender & wasn't dry. It's easy to overcook chicken becoming dry, but the two chicken dishes weren't. Very flavorful & a good amount of mushrooms added for garnish. Same with the chicken parm, string beans & potato's as a side and not pasta. 6. Linguine with White Clam Sauce - I'm allergic to shellfish, so I did not try this dish, but my table said it was good. Overall, I thought the food would've been better. The pricing to food portion ratio did not correlate. It's a little on the pricey side for the amount of food you'd get, but maybe it's because of the rent since it is Williamsburg? Another thing, just like another reviewer mentioned, I felt my table was rushed out the door. We weren't even finished eating and we could feel they were eyeing the table (I was with a large party). The waiter who served my table, whose name I didn't catch, was friendly and polite though. Anyways, this is my take on this restaurant. Maybe this is how old school Italian restaurants are supposed to be & in terms of food too. Tip: Reservation recommended for dining in
