We started with the Crocchette and the Polpo. For entrees we got the Pappardelle Al Funghi and the Agnolotti Del Plin. For dessert we shared the Panna Cotta. All the food was excellent. Octopus was cooked perfectly. The Crocchettes were super flavorful. Both pasta dishes were divine! We actually switched plates halfway through the meal so we could enjoy both dishes. The Panna Cotta was the perfect ending. We made a reservation about a week in advance to be safe. I'm glad we did because the restaurant filled up quickly after opening. We reserved a table in the dining room table due to not knowing the what the patio situation was like. But it does look like their patio is enclosed for the colder months. The service was great. The food came out hot and fresh. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. I would absolutely return to LaRina the next time I'm visiting the city.

I am so glad we did as the whole table loved them! I also really liked the lasagna and bistecca. The agnolotti del pin was good, but there was so little of it! I wasn't even that hungry but had to beg my friends for some of their food after finishing mine because they saw how little my dish served. The smoked spaghetti was way too woody tasting in my opinion, too. Service was awesome - we may have been a bit rowdy as a group for our birthday girl, but our server was awesome and even brought out a tiramisu and ice cream for us. Thank you!!

We literally only stopped in because it was raining hard and this was the closest place that was open. That said, it was such a good choice. The pasta is fresh, cheesy, creamy, and you can customize it with things like chicken, mushrooms, onions, and shrimp without breaking the break. Highly recommend making it a destination, or just making a pit stop if you're craving pasta.

They accidentally charged me for a side of garlic bread and made the sandwich incorrectly at first, but the staff was incredibly kind and proactive about fixing it. They remade the sandwich, refunded the extra charge even though I had already paid, and really went out of their way to make it right. I sincerely appreciated that & don't think most places would go that extra mile. The garlic bread deserves its own shoutout...some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, buttery... just amazing. The rice balls were also a star of the table: super flavorful, cheesy, and garlicky. My brother loved the vodka pasta, and while I was a little bummed there's no vegetarian option for it, he said it was delicious. I got the spicy eggplant parm sandwich and really enjoyed it. The flavors were bold and had a nice kick. There were a few bites where the eggplant breading got a bit soggy, but overall it was satisfying and unique. Affordable, flavorful dishes, great people, and a cozy vibe. Despite the small hiccup, I appreciated how attentive they were. I'll definitely be back to try the pesto pasta!

Crispy crusts, rich sauces, savory and creative toppings combine for some of the best pies in the area.

Deco is classic NY pizza shop with just a few crowded tables and Italian movie pictures on the walls. Also, say Hi to Alessandro and ask for his daily recommendations. Pro Tip - Get there early for the most choices of slices or have Alessandro make up a special fresh.

Located in (Crown Heights) Brooklyn, NY is a place that's been around longer than I have been on this earth! When my cousin suggested that we get pizza, my family wasn't to enthusiastic. But after the bus ride across town to get a "Slice" and a "Pie", things changed quickly. My cousin explained to my family that "up here (NY), we don't do Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa John's or any of that. If you want a real "slice" you go to the Italians, and thats exactly what we did. We knew it was an amazing spot, because of all the foot traffic and phone calls they were receiving; it just didn't stop, lol. Once we placed our order: 1 Cheese pie, 2 slices of Pepperoni, and one slice of Pepperoni and Sausage (the sausage wasn't any of those crumbles we get down south, they were real slices) We had a time laughing and picking at my children trying to eat a slice (it was hilarious; you had to be there), I showed them the proper way to fold a slice to consume... It was a memorable experience to say the least. The taste was immaculate to say the least... I was immediately humbled and saddened at the same time, at some point I have to return home back in the south and I am not looking forward to it. For those that live here; somebody should have told me!!!, lol. But if you're ever in the area, passing through, or plan a trip, please make this a food stop on your list, you will NOT be disappointed!! You dont even have to take my word for it, try for yourself and see the difference from what you're used to!!!

We went around Christmas and it was decorated inside. The restaurant was packed. Every single table was full. Everyone was having the best time. Even the bar was totally full of people ordering drinks before they were seated. The food is classic, New York Italian. Everything is a very well done version. 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.

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.
