Great brunch in park slope. Amazing pasta and drinks Kind and attentive service as well

Very pleasant outdoor seating area and attentive, friendly service. Food was extremely good and prices reasonable considering the quality.

The restaurant feels intimate. The waitress was pleasant and the food came at an average rate. Brunch was until 4 PM on Saturday so I got the pancakes. The peaches were tasty. The pancakes were not buttery or sweet enough for me but my friend said Ricotta pancakes can be like that. This place seems good for a date/catching up with a friend.

My second time dining here and the food was delicious as always. I ordered the menu special gnocchi boar wagu this time. Definitely decent dish and fresh to order. The staff gave excellent service and was charismatic towards my group with the salmon dish return. The salmon was the least favorite but every other dished ordered below was delicious. We ended up ordering the the lobster ravioli. Mi piace.

I love this neighborhood joint! The food is definitely elevated level! Their pasta specials are very yummy and I can't get enough of their short ribs and their octopus dishes! We always get the tartufo! Though there is brunch photos - that was pre pandemic so I don't know what their weekend schedule is these days! I know for sure there isn't lunch anymore during the weekdays! But dinners outside are the best! It is so kid friendly and the wine selections is pretty good! I get the spaghetti and meatball and the mariella penna (sausage, peas and mushrooms) which is like penne Al vodka :) We all get the chocolate ice cream ball and split it!

Lovely rustic Italian spot that hits the spot, but wouldn't say it's the top spot in the area A group of four of us came on a freezing Friday night and it was a bit chilly inside too, especially since they pulled one of their frozen patio tables directly from outside for us since they ran out of tables. That said the candlit ambiance is classic and lovely and the staff were nice and attentive We started with the burrata eggplant appetizer. It's a unique combination and I thought it was very tasty. It was a light bite split four ways. They provide complimentary Italian bread and offered us a refill, too Main dishes were a bit hit or miss -kale pesto- yummy! The pesto and pastas all seem to be homemade -salmon with black spaghetti- two friends for this swapped wirh regular fettuccini and found the pasta was over cooked, but good flavor -bolognese- my friend seemed to like it Overall, I'd go back for good vibes since I live nearby, especially for the patio in the summer

Pretty solid Italian spot with an open kitchen so you can see inside where all the magic happens. We were seated quickly (to be fair it was 8pm on a Wednesday but still), and the food came out just as quickly. I feel like most Italian places I go to are so insanely slow (for the ambience of course), but we actually were in a rush so we appreciated the hustle. I ordered the walnut pesto dish, which was tube pasta with walnut kale pesto. It was super yummy, especially with extra cheese sprinkled on top (I'm a hoe for cheese on pasta). I liked the texture that the walnuts brought to the bite as well. It was very noticeably oily though, with oil collecting like soup at the bottom of the bowl. I also thought that the portion size was very small. Both my friend and I were still hungry after leaving, even though what we got was great. Looking at the menu, the food is pretty reasonably priced on first glance, but considering the amount of pasta you get for your buck, that initial judgement call definitely starts to waver. Loved the comfy vibe though! And appreciated the attentive service.
