We had a wonderful evening at Rocco's, a charming neighborhood Italian restaurant run by the…read moresweetest young couple, Vinny and Joanne. They're the ultimate hosts -- warm, welcoming, and genuinely lovely people. The food was fantastic from start to finish. We began with perfectly tender fried calamari served with a delicious tomato sauce. The baked clams were excellent, swimming in a buttery garlic olive oil that was perfect for dipping their homemade bread. The thin-crust pizza had a lovely sweet tomato sauce and high-quality mozzarella. The meatballs were tender and flavorful -- the meat tasted like prime beef. For our mains, both the chicken parmesan and chicken francese were outstanding, and the side of penne alla vodka was rich and excellent. We tried nearly every dessert on the menu and they were all delicious. The wine list is reasonably priced, and we enjoyed a lovely bottle with dinner. Best of all, the service was spectacular. We came with a group of 12, and with only one waitress(some addditional staff as well), she handled our entire table like a pro -- fast, efficient, and incredibly attentive the whole night. Rocco's is a true neighborhood gem. We can't wait to return and highly recommend it to everyone

They have a happy hour deal with $6 selected drinks and half price selected appetizers. The choices are diverse from tuna tartar to a truffle oil tater tot. There are many small plate offerings. The entrée choice and salads see very appealing and from I'm told the portions are generous. I've heard chatter that the prices are a bit overzealous but don't let that deter you from a visit. This is the place you bring someone when you are trying to make an impression. Just don't show up in jeans and a tee shirt, think upscale casual. We did a small plate dinner and an early movie at the theater only a short walk away. Do not miss a chance to visit the Wine Bar.

This place is teeeeeny tiny and I've seen it super packed when they do a live music night. But I showed up on an off night and it was pretty chill. I had to order the Misir Wat which came out on bread -- a little more tomato-esque(?) than I'm used to but still delicious. The elk salami and the seasonal alpine cheese were also standouts, served with generous portions of walnut-cranberry, and olive breads. And the Tej! Amazing! Lovely! I always enjoy trying Tej because it's different everywhere you go. This one is particularly sweet and mellow in a great way -- not sugary but akin to a nice Riesling. The prices are fairly reasonable as well, you can get out of here for under $40 for two if you're just doing drinks and one snack. Can't wait to come back and try more things!

I will admit it is a small place. If you like your back then don't come here. I didn't see any stools with backs. I thought it was funny they had a little area where the chefs were. My friend purchased a sandwhich and it was pretty good. I don't really remember what music was playing. It was more of a talk to your friends kinda place. This definitely is a good place to end a night of bar hopping.

My friends and I had Churrasco skewers, truffle waffle fries, chicken quesadillas, Churrasco quesadillas, loaded waffle fries with shrimp and sweet chili wings. Everything was good! Nothing salty, mushy or lacking flavor. Hookah is $40, cash only and $25 for a refill. The hookah was smooth and long lasting. We really had a great time here.

Love! I came here…read morewith one of my close girlfriends and have to say it did not disappoint! I was not sure really what to expect. I was curious if this place was a restaurant, a bar, or a lounge. I would say this place is definitely a lounge. The vibe was great, very chill and unpretentious. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.

He didn't utter a single word to us in the entirety of our exchange, which gave the performative-giving space (with call-to-action posters of already-done actions) an even more negative tilt. The crowd feels seismically out of place for a bar in this neighborhood. Feels very Greenpoint esque. Drinks were on low end of mid; not sure if I should blame the bartender or the bar. The margarita deluxe tasted like a margarita lite, and End of an Era was mid. The dance floor in the back has a lot of potential, but I won't be able to witness it if its front-end continues sucking as much as this presentation.
