    Brunch is excellent. The PEBF is a good mix of savory (eggs) and sweet (one pancake!) but if you wanna go all sweet, the blueberry pancakes can't be beat!

    Amazing for brunch/dinner. Need to come back to try everything. Had the Romaine salad w/ anchovy croutons, lamb sausage, and the eggs benny. Best home fries I've ever had.

    The perfect neighborhood Italian joint. At dinner, get the octopus appetizer to share and a fresh pasta.

    Favorite breakfast ever! Every slice of bacon served to our table was perfect! Get the eggs + blueberry pancake + bacon + greens...SO GOOD!

    The Italian-born chef and co-owner, Roberto Aita who was last the chef and co-owner of Williamsburg’s similarly humble Fiore, has an instinct for appetizers, and, especially, vegetables.

    Gem neighborhood restaurant. Excellent service. Try the fennel-grapefruit salad and the Bolognese as a main.

    The burrata was amazing to share! Def get it. Also suggest sharing pasta dishes because you’ll want to try more than one — they’re so good!

    Try the Burrata, roasted mushrooms and celery salad. The juxtaposition of the warm mushrooms and cool, creamy Burrata is amazing!!!

    Try the crispy butternut squash dressed in a surprisingly delicate coffee mayonnaise, or house-made cavatelli topped with shaved Parmesan and black truffles. Read more

    Bar is great for drinking negronis and snacking on breadsticks and grilled octopus. Pastas aren't as delicious as the menu makes them sound.
