    I've been meaning to come by and finally made it for brunch. The space is super spacious, the day we came in they were setting up for a some private event out back in the patio. The space is really cozy and beautiful. They had a fire lit which really helped the ambiance. They have a pretty good brunch deal with the unlimited drinks. I ended up getting the eggs Benedict which I thought were just fine.

    Wow wow wow this was a stunning and cozy restaurant from start to finish-it felt like ultimate class. With a number of ovens and fireplace throughout, it genuinely felt like we were in an Italian mother's kitchen. Every single food item was delectable. We ordered the artichoke heart (5/5, but don't remember the price), fettuccine frutti di mare with lump crab,scallops, shrimp, mussels in a spicy saffron broth ($32) and the chocolate torte. It was one of the best meals I've had in a while and the staff were quick and kind.

    We had a lovely time at Scottadito Osteria Toscana. This restaurant was suggested by a friend who booked the reservation for us. Our brunch reservation was at 2 pm and were seated immediately when we arrived on time. I love the rustic aesthetic throughout the restaurant. There were old trunks of different sizes displayed on a shelf on a wall. I'm always impressed with the small things that others may overlook. We were presented with the brunch special menu. Although, the menu options looked very appealing and delicious, it wasn't what I wanted. My loved one and I both ordered the delicious burger and fries. My friend enjoyed the lobster ravioli and stated it was very tasty, but wished there was more than four lobster ravioli in her order. Our burgers and fries were excellent. During brunch, customers are allowed to order unlimited drinks from the brunch drink menu for 1.5 hours. We ordered our drinks from the mocktail options and they were great. Our server provided excellent service and made our first visit to this restaurant even better. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

    I went with a friend around the holidays so the restaurant was festively decorated and cozy. Our server was very friendly, he went over the specials as well as his recommendations. We each were given a piece of fresh focaccia which was warm and springy with a salty tomato dip. I had a tough time choosing what to order since everything sounded amazing, and finally decided on the Pappardelle Ai Funghi. When it arrived, there was a luxurious waft of truffle oil, cheese, and mushroom. I loved the handmade pasta, although it stuck together quickly and it was a bit challenging to eat. The portion size left me feeling hungry afterwards, so I recommend getting the pasta as a an addition to a main, or with an appetizer. I did have a good enough experience that I would like to go again to try another pasta dish since they all sounded delicious.

    Cozy (but large) neighborhood restaurant with a live burning fire. When you walk in Scottadito has a very warm and family vibe. We stopped in on a Friday night and it was consistently busy with an energetic energy, without being loud. Our server was fantastic and our food was good. While it's not my absolute favorite Italian, in NYC I think it's a good choice if you live nearby. I would skip on the desserts, though.... especially the tiramisu, which was dry and didn't have enough cream layers. It didn't really taste like tiramisu, but resembled it. Save your calories for Cousin John's or Heaps! Otherwise, we had an enjoyable evening.

    We came to Scottadito on a really cold Sunday evening during the cold spell earlier this February. It's located next door to the firehouse and looking at the arched front door, it seems that this used to be the firehouse during the days when horses pulled the fire engines. The back was full and we were seated (thankfully) right next to the gas fireplace. It surely kept us warm as people arrived to enjoy their dinner. The ambience is extremely cozy in here. It feels like a neighborhood place, could be an extension to your own dining room. Our server was really great-helpful and patient and he explained the dishes as this was our first time coming to Scottadito. We started with some hot drinks - a hot toddy and tea that warmed us up some. Our meal began with Cozze In Padella Pei-absolutely sweet and deliciously prepared mussels in a sauce that would have been a great soup. It was served with great bread to soak up the extra. We followed this with 2 pasta dishes, the Pappardelle Ai Funghi and Fettuccine Zafferano Frutti Di Mare. The first was a great combo of al dente wide pasta with mushrooms. I really loved the sauce with the mushrooms, I found it very 'earthy' that matched the shrooms. My wife thought it was a bit too rich. The fettucine with shellfish was also really delicious with a great wine and garlic sauce and excellent pasta. We shared a main course-the Branzino Al Cartoccio. The fish was very good, not the best I've ever eaten but certainly satisfying and very enjoyable. After all of that food, there truly was no room for dessert and we completed our meal. It was a really memorable meal. This is not a Michelin star type of place. It's better cause it feels like home and they provide delicious food and wonderful service.

    The fried eggplant was so delicious and caught me by surprise! The pastas were also so yummy, even the vegetarian pasta option. The salmon was perfectly cooked and sized. The fries were alright, a bit too big for my liking so it was more mushy than usual. The chicken was really disappointing as it didn't taste too good and a bit unclear in the picture but a quarter of the chicken was even undercooked and raw as it was bright pink. Fortunately I was too full to finish the chicken and noticed it but otherwise would've been yikes. And perhaps coming from a major dessert connoisseur, dessert was not great at all by my standards. Service was great and good restaurant ambiance. Attended as part of an event and was decent to try out but not the best option if I were to come here again.

    Loved the charming rustic feel from the second I walked in! Found this place while browsing around for a Valentine's Day dinner, it was close to home, had a normal menu, and looked nice from the pictures. It was poppin too! Too bad we got stuck sitting downstairs in the basement, which was fine, but def not the same character as the upstairs with its cozy fireplace and pendant lighting. Food was good, service was slow. They seemed a little absent minded, but I give them some grace because it was a busy night overall good experience, and we plan on coming back on a non-holiday during the week and sit upstairs and try their pizzas!

    I saw this Park Slope establishment advertised on IG. It stated "bottomless brunch 90 mins + entree for $35.00" and I thought why not? I went with a girlfriend this past Saturday. There was outdoor seating in the front that looked a bit sad but once you entered the place it was a full on experience. We asked to sit in the back because I saw the "atrium" they had online. The back wall was all glass so you could see outside. It gave some charm along with the artwork on the walls and various artistic conversation pieces such as the hanging violin and stacked cake stands. We sat at a 2 seater and there were a couple of other tables occupied as well. Our waiter, Arthur, really showed us exceptional service. I participated in the menu bottomless brunch and ordered an Aperol Spritz initially. He gave us all of the drink and food specials for the day. My friend ordered lemonade. Arthur was very attentive to our needs and kept my mimosas flowing. Soon after another waiter came to take our orders. I had the Uova Florentina and my friend had the Wagyu Beef Burger. I will say I was not impressed with my meal. It was quite dry as I did not see any pesto nor hollandaise sauce present. Both sauces were listed on the menu. I thought not to complain as our service was excellent. My friend seemed to enjoy her meal. I noticed the pricing was different than advertised. Bottomless brunch was actually $36 not $35. My friend was charged for bottomless even though she did not drink alcohol ONLY lemonade and a $5 extra fee was tacked onto her burger. I am always one to pay my bill, however, I found these charges to be a bit deceptive. Not a great introduction as a new customer, especially since I traveled from Manhattan. The bathroom was FABULOUS! Alot of details went into making the single stall comfortable. It was clean and spacious. I enjoyed my experience here and might even patronize it again as it is Italian based. I would suggest trying a pasta dish over the traditional brunch food.

    Large party in the back area of the restaurant.

    We had our engagement dinner at Scottadito and it was perfect. The ambiance of the space is so lovely, it feels very homey but still elegant. Probably some of the best food I've had in a while, and such attentive service. We will be back!

    Wonderful atmosphere, friendly and welcoming service, and amazing food in a great location in Brooklyn

He did not miss a beat and if anything slipped past him, it was swiftly corrected. And lastly, to the chef! Thank you for your culinary creativity shown in each specially crafted dish. Starters: Fried calamari and shrimp- this was a good start although missing a little flavor to the batter but it was good nonetheless. Whipped burrata-this was delicious but it could have been even better with some more of the delicious house bread that we were offered upon arrival. Drinks: Balsamic peach spritz (not pictured) the graduate's favorite drink of the day! She raved about it the entire time. Aperol spritz- very refreshing with a beautiful citrus twist! I loved it. Old fashioned- my boyfriend throughly enjoyed this classic drink. Entrees: Oven roasted branzino- AMAZING! The cook on the branzino was perfect and the broccolini and mini carrots added a beautiful crunch to my experience. I could have taken another order to go. My boyfriend had the house ravioli which was salmon and after taking one bite, I can attest that it was INCREDIBLY delicious! Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their meals: Ribeye steak Lamb chops with spinach mashed potatoes Lamb chops with roasted potatoes Roasted Chicken Rustichella We ended the celebration with dessert: Olive oil cake- not too sweet and fluffy.

Also, had the divine Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Ended with the Olive Oil Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and the 3 Mini Cannolis, which provided the perfect bite to end the feast. Just sweet enough to leave you wanting more. No matter the occasion, Barbalu is GOOD to you!

    Came here for Christmas dinner on Thursday. I searched for a restaurant semi-close to me that had…read moregreat reviews and was Italian. This was high up on my search, and with reviews like what they have, we decided to give them a shot. Its very easy to get to with a decent amount of street parking. Seems a bit out of place next to a deli on a residential block. You can kind of miss it if youre not paying attention. We were a party of 6 and had a 5 PM reservation. You have to pass through this dark curtain and go to the middle of the bar where the host will greet you and bring you to your seats. We were seated promptly with no wait. The restaurant is VERY small. So much so that at our table, all I had to do was reach my hand out and I would have been touching the kitchen counter. It does get a little crammed/crowded, but not in an annoying or unbearable kind of way. The vibe is actually really cozy and rustic. Very dim lighting so either whip out the flashlight on your phone or hold up one of the real candles they have on the table to read the menu. The food menu is straightforward and simple. They have an extensive wine list. I love how on the food menu, next to each dish, they tell you the region of Italy that dish gets its roots from. They have lovely dinnerware here. They brought out a foccacia bread for the table with a tomato dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious foccacia. The sauce was a tad too salty for me. I started off with the mocktail Luisa. It was passion fruit, lemon, agave, ginger beer, and mint. It was $10 and very fresh and mouthwatering! For my appetizer I had the Calamari alla griglia. Grilled calamari with guacamole and carasau bread. I've never had grilled calamari before. Only either marinara or fried. I also thought pairing it with guacamole was an interesting twist. I was so pleasantly surprised by this dish. The calamari were perfectly fork tender grilled. The guacamole went well with it. The carasau bread was more like a tortilla chip. They give you a decent amount for $24.95. That app slid down my throat effortlessly! For my entree I had the Maccheroncini alla Norma. Maccheroni with eggplant in tomato sauce with ricotta cheese. The pasta was so fresh and perfectly cooked. The sauce reminded me so much of my Calabrian grandmother's. The ricotta made it rich and creamy. Filling as well. So much so that, even though it wasn't a huge portion, I had to take home half of it because I was verging on being stuffed! My mother had the Cotoletta alla milanese. Keep in mind that if you get this chicken cutlet dish that it serves about four people, even though its for 1! HUGE portion. About 4 enormous cutlets that gave my mom 3 days of leftovers! All of the desserts were $12.95. A nice selection to choose from, but I had the classic Tiramisu. They make it here tableside. He made it with such care. Loved watching him put it all together. Let me tell you, that was the BEST Tiramisu that I've EVER had! Wow, just amazing. Very balanced, quality ingredients. The marscapone was so decadent, creamy and fresh. I could have easily taken down 2 of them! I tried some of my mother's chocolate cake. Delicious and decadent. Service throughout our dinner was above and beyond. Attentive, kind, concise and our waiter was such a cutie! Smooth sailing throughout the entire meal. We barely had to wait for anything. Amazing restaurant and staff. Prices are just fine and the quality goes way beyond. Can't wait to come back. Highly impressed and recommend!

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 veal Parm was one of the best I've ever had. The caramel cake at the end was truly beyond. I can't recommend this experience enough. We ate for three hours had amazing cocktails, great bottles of wine and a really delicious meal. Looking around, you could tell the diners were locals enjoying a beloved neighborhood restaurant. It's such a special restaurant that serves real New Yorkers.

    You can tell this is a staple Italian restaurant in Marine Park, Brooklyn. Lots of regulars and…read morefamilies. I always pass by and finally decided to try it out. The interior looks like a classic Italian restaurant and service is very formal. It was quite busy for a weekday night. There's valet parking so you don't have to stress about finding street parking nearby. We ordered fried calamari, baked clams, baked vodka penne, and the Fisherman's Platter. We were served bread and some antipasto to start. The calamari was a classic and I loved the sauce -- it had a good spicy kick to it. The baked clams were okay. The Fisherman's Platter is a must and good value with its generous portion of seafood. It can definitely be shared amongst two people. The baked vodka penne was also good but portion was on the smaller side. I would say Michael's is a must try at least once.

    Michael's - It was our first time trying the lobster dish - delicious and fresh. The baked dish tasted too burnt.

    dined at Lilia for the first time, and it generally lived up to expectations…read more I love true interior space and design, as it feels like you're in a spacious, elevated barn. We weren't too hungry this day, so we tried the grilled clams, sheep's milk angolotti, and grilled whole orata. My favorite was the angolotti, as it was rich, a little sweet from the honey, and loved the sun dried tomatoes on top. I almost wish there were more tomatoes as the flavor complimented the pasta so well. The grilled clams were pretty good, and so was the grilled orata - all the flavor profiles are rather light, so if that's your preference these dishes fit that palate.

    Reservations are harder to come by so I had to settle with an early 4 pm meal. I was seated…read moreimmediately as they opened. Service was attentive and friendly, and I did not feel rushed at any point. I wasn't too hungry so I shared their popular focaccia bread with green butter and sheep's milk agnolotti. Focaccia 5/5: best focaccia I ever had, it came hot and fresh out of the oven. Crispy on the outside but so soft inside, topped with a delicious parm. The green herb butter was so smooth. I loved this dish and would come back just for it Sheep's milk 4/5: they're like ravioli stuffed with smooth, melt in your mouth cheese... the sauce was light and sweet from the honey. It was so unique and delicious (technically a 5/5 but I personally am not a fan of sweet pasta and would likely try something else next time) I hope to come back another time for that bread and to try one of their other pastas

    Busy Sunday and they made room for us. Classic old style restaurant. Everything we ordered was goodread more

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I wonder how many 100 year old restaurants are still left in NYC. It can't be easy to stay true to who you are in this ever changing world. With today's social media heavy and influencer dominated marketing, this restaurant sits on a quiet street in Brooklyn just going about its business. Known as an Italian red sauce shop that served all walks of life, including possibly the mafia, this place has seen it all. If only the walls can talk, I could imagine all the stories it holds. Our friendly waiter has been there for 20+ years and shared some of his experiences and memories. It was a nice bonus to our meal for four. For appetizers, we had some Clams Oreganata (8/10), Fried Calamari (8/10), and Roasted Peppers w/ Anchovies (8/10). I would say that these three starters were the highlights of the meal. The entrees were not bad, just not as outstanding as their appetizer counterparts. My favorite of the bunch was the Eggplant Parmigiana (8/10), which was delicious and well made. The other three items, Pork Chop alla Bamonte's (6/10), Ravioli w/ Meat Sauce (7/10), and Rigatoni w/ Sausage & Broccoli Rabe (7/10), were all decent, but nothing special. By the end of the meal, four of us all agreed that it was a fun experience. With all the great options for Italian cuisine in NYC, it's not somewhere that stands out enough for regular visits. However, I would stop by if I was in the neighborhood.
