    Seafood linguini
    Jacqui L.

    So underrated and so good! We got the chicken parm and I got the seafood linguini. Dessert was this apple pie with cinnamon icecream...divine

    Delicious appetizer.

    My soulmate and I had a 5pm reservation for dinner at an Italian restaurant in the Park Slope. Sottovoce is a cozy place with great service and delicious eats. Our server was so friendly. He gave us the specials for the day and suggested a few items on the menu. The special sauce for the tiny pieces of toast was amazing. Our appetizers and entrees were great. The dining room started to fill up by the time we started our yummy desserts. We will be back for more!

    Tiramisu con Espresso e Savoiardi

    We visited SottoVoce with a friend on Saturday night. When we arrived we were greeted warmly and taken to our table. Our friend had a bit of an issue and was delayed and the waitress was really accommodating about the delay and kept the drinks coming! Once our friend arrived we order appetisers; calamari, bruschetta and the meatballs. The calamari was a little underwhelming but the other 2 dishes were good. For main courses 2 of us ordered the seafood linguine (one in white sauce and one in red sauce) and my other half ordered the spaghetti rustici with chicken. My linguine in white sauce was a little under seasoned but the pasta was cooked well. My other half loved his spaghetti though, he actually said it was the best pasta dish he has had so far in NYC. For dessert we ordered the cannolis, pear tart and were also given a complimentary tiramisu. The pear tart was just ok (the ice cream it was served with was pretty grainy) but the other desserts were lovely. We ended the meal with espresso martinis, which were delicious and I highly recommend. All in all I would say our experience at SottoVoce was fairly mixed, with some dishes being a standout and others underwhelming., and I would give it 3.5 *s. The atmosphere is great, very homely feel, and the service was really good so I would revisit (but probably order a different main courses). Our total bill for 3 people (including pre dinner drinks, 3 bottles of wine, tax and tip) was $400, which we thought was pretty reasonable for what we had.

    This was a private party given for 65(!) people in a very small place. That is really the family's doing. That being said, it is an elegant little place with phenomenal food and ambiance. The biggest kudos are for the owner and the staff. It was like watching a ballet as the wait staff patiently maneuvered between all the tables squashed together. They also worked with smiles and great patience for more than four hours. Bravo, Sotto Voce! (I live upstate, but when I visit Brooklyn, I'm making sure I go there again.)

    I have passed by this place so many times since it is so close to my work place but we never had the chance to stop by until a random Friday - my coworkers and I decided to stop by for lunch. They have both outdoor and indoor seating - very cozy vibes. We got here exactly when they open and we were allowed to sit wherever we wanted and they gave us a menu with the specials as well. Unsure if it is just because we went for lunch - there was only one waiter working so we did have a bit of a wait to order / pay but he was extremely friendly and nice. For food - we decided to do family style and I am so glad we did -Burrata: Very good and fresh but you really cannot go wrong with burrata -Garlic Bread: Amazing, the bread was so crispy and the flavoring was perfect -Calamari: Also delicious, they also put in fried zucchini which I thought was unique -Penne alla vodka with shrimp: The shrimp was so tender and the flavors were amazing -Fettuccine Gamberetti: Also delicious, great if you are a fan of sea food, the noodles were cooked to perfection -Chicken Param with spaghetti: The chicken parm was a huge favorite amongst all my coworkers so highly recommend this dish -Succhettini: Absolutely delicious, if this is on the special menu you must get this, perfectly creamy and fresh (they are almost like little creamy dumplings) -Apple Pie + Cinnamon gelato: If you are a fan of apple pie, get this -Creme Brulee: Another table favorite, highly recommend this -Chocolate Souffle Cake: The cake was actually flourless but was really delicious despite that -tiramisu: Not my favorite so would pass on this -cannoli: Also very tasty but I liked the other desserts more Overall - we were shocked at how tasty everything was. Highly recommend checking out this restaurant especially if you are in Park Slope.

    Clams Oregenata

    This restaurant was amazing. The service is what really got me. My aunt told me she a nice Italian spot for us to go to in Park Slope. What I like and what she likes are not the same so I was shocked I was so impressed. From the time we looked out our menu, the waitress was informative. Any questions we had .. were answered with knowledge. I was not drinking alcohol and the owner concocted a pretty great mocktail. The food was so good. We ordered a lot of dishes. My fav was the burrata and the clams oregenata. To finish, we were gifted two shots of moscato (my aunt loved it).

For my entrée, I had the grilled pork chops, which were cooked perfectly. The pistachio gremolata added a unique burst of flavor that really elevated the dish. My friends ordered a variety of pasta dishes, which I tried and tasted good, and everyone enjoyed their meals. We ended with dessert and tried both the traditional tiramisu, which was very good, and the budino--a butterscotch pudding with pistachio gelato--which completely stole the show. It was absolutely amazing. Overall, a great dining experience, and I'd definitely return.

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. Lilia was absolutely worth the wait and definitely lived up to the hype. Another Brooklyn spot checked off the list -- and one I'd happily go back to.

    I managed to get a reservation for 4 at 6:30pm when my friends were visiting. I'm not sure why this…read moreplace is so hyped because I found the experience to be good, but definitely absolutely not worth having to snag a resy not at 9pm via priority notify. For starters: the bread was good (hard to mess up though?) the squash was fine, and I wish the tomatoes had been heirloom or thicker cut. For mains: the sheep's milk agnolotti was not for me, it was oddly sweet, I'm honestly not sure why it's so popular. The rigatoni and gnocchi were very good - the rigatoni was perfectly al dente paired with good flavor and the texture of the gnocchi was perfect. Highly recommend ordering these. Dessert: they definitely don't skimp on the dessert, we each got our own but the gelato options were definitely shareable. They also had amaro options which I always appreciate but didn't get this time. The space was a little cramped indoors though that didn't bother me as much as the temperature. It was a really hot summer day and I don't think they had air conditioning? Or if they did it definitely was not at an ideal temperature as I didn't feel like there was much air circulation.

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!!
