REVIEW YOUR BILL!! I've gotten my check inflated $1 or $2 compared to price listed on menu. Fishy! Other than that, 5-stars on the food. Garlic aioli with fries = amazing. Def love the garden seating.

We had brunch. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Looks like a great place to buy fish and gorge on oysters. What struck me was how nice the staff was. We'll be back! ...More

For brunch, Anella has a prix fixe menu for $19 that includes your choice of entrée, along with coffee, tea or soda, and a Bloody Mary, mimosa or OJ. Via CityEats.com Read more

Village Voice is proud to welcome Anella to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. They have a wonderful backyard patio which makes for a great outdoor place to have a meal.

For an escape to Italy, drop by Anella’s flower-bedecked backyard, a wonderful hideaway near the beginning of Greenpoint. Read more

Very easily ate here gluten free. Happily had steak & eggs. Frittata was wonderful!!! This place is adorable & so yummy. Also the bacon is extra thick! #glutenfree

We had pretty much everything on the menu and it was quite good. The gnocchi is a significantly smaller portion than the rest of their dishes. Really cute atmosphere.
Courtney R.May 14, 2013
To say the food was amazing is an understatement. You're stupid if you don't eat here. Get the gnocchi and burratta. When they bring you bread in a flowerpot, ask for a side of bacon jam. Orgasmic.

The pork belly biscuit for brunch was nuts. The cauliflower salad was a nice bright contrast to what has to be the most delicious pork belly I've ever had, and I don't even like pork belly much.
Natalie FreilichOctober 15, 2016
Buffala, pork belly with lentil and the panne cotta - well prepared & perfectly portioned. Left satisfied, didn't feel like I overate making this a great place to eat before going out.

If you want to feel like you’re in Italy, drop by Anella’s flower-bedecked backyard some summer evening, far enough north on Greenpoint’s Franklin Street to feel like you’re on the frontier. Read more

Awesome brunch. Great dinner. Can't go wrong here on any occasion. Beers and wines are great. Just an all around good place
Kathleen VargasSeptember 4, 2016
It's a great place for a date night. Highly recommend the corn soup and the skirt steak. The coconut Panna cotta was alright.

Pretty much my dream neighbourhood restaurant. Seasonal menu changes frequently. Atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Attentive staff. Always a great time there.
Rory ParnessAugust 16, 2014
It will take all your willpower to save some bread but you will thank yourself as you dip it in the sauce at the bottom of your gnocchi bowl
Joe BurgessOctober 1, 2016
Great place in the very north of greenpoint so there is rarely a wait. Too expensive though. $25 for chicken. Got the Skate for $24 and it was delicious.

You basically can't go wrong here. Personal favorites (at least on the current menu): Spring Pea soup, burrata, and gnocchi with mushrooms. And don't think about leaving before you have dessert!

The lamb ragu papardelle is delicious. The smaller size is perfect for medium hunger level. They bring out very tasty fresh baked bread to start off your dinner.
Justine JablonskaSeptember 7, 2011
Fantastic, fresh, & extremely flavorful dishes - brunches are excellent w/lots of in-house baked goods; dinners are exquisite; the bar makes yummy, innovative drinks w/seasonal ingredients & herbs.
Phil SharpMarch 1, 2015
The french toast was great and it tasted a little bit like funnel cake (in the best way possible). The biscuits and eggs were also delicious.
Donna McJuly 29, 2013
Tourist tip: In this neighborhood gem - the corned beef hash is all dressed up for Sunday brunch, with eggs cooked to perfection.

the Burger with Bacon Jam is perfect especially if you pair it with their deliciously fresh homemade Bloody Mary.
GothamistJune 6, 2012
The menu's always changing, the prices aren't gougey, and there's plenty of outdoor seating. If you can't snag a table here, grab a drink at The Diamond and check out their sister restaurant, Calyer.

Ask to get a fried egg on your BLT. It's not on the menu with egg, but they'll happily do it! Also, get a biscuit on the side. Buttery and fluffy, crispy on the outside perfection.

Great weekday spot for lunch or dinner. The burger is great.
TaraJune 4, 2011
Greenpoint gem. So good, great date spot. Worth the wait to sit in the garden if it's nice out. I usually never order chicken at restaurants, I did and it was fantastic.
Byron WilkesDecember 22, 2015
Lovely brunch spot with a decent Bloody Mary and amazing skirt steak, highly recommend the latter.

The u-good will definitely make you feel good and rabe ravioli is a staple dish
Sofia PapastamelosNovember 18, 2017
Amazing and fresh pasta! Enjoyed the special with braised lamb, olives, and feta. Yummm.
Rachael McCarthyMarch 17, 2017
Great atmosphere, biscuits, and Bloody Mary's for the perfect Sunday brunch! Need to go back for dinner.
JenKuduNovember 13, 2017
Flank steak and eggs with roasted is solid. Steak cooked well and the eggs were good. Wet tiny but friendly service.
Marcus D'ArrigoNovember 11, 2016
Lunch menu simple and delicious. Pleasant place, nice atmosphere.
Morgan PolotanDecember 12, 2016
The carbonara and spiraled veggies were both phenomenal.
Chris EvansJune 20, 2014
Bacon jelly. I don't know. But you can add it to your burger and explode from the ensuing awesomeness

Food here is absolutely delicious. They also have pretty good cocktails. The best part? The bread comes is served in a flower pot. 'Nuff said.
Village VoiceMay 31, 2012
With the warm summer weather approaching, make use of Anella's pergola-secluded seating instead of dealing with a table precariously situated on a sidewalk.
Yaw BoamahMay 5, 2019
This place is amazing. Checkout the chicken sandwich!
Malcolm ChangAugust 18, 2017
Proof that you don't have to be cutting edge to be great. Seasonal farm to table fare that is good value.
Kiwi WangDecember 1, 2016
The PAPPARDELLE omg! The most satisfying bowl of pasta I've had in ages. Perfect.
💜 Octavia Fatema 💜November 12, 2015
The food was amazing, we can't wait to go back!!!!

Pork belly burger with an egg! Outdoor spot is really cute.

The mushroom, pea and other stuff tagliatelle is for sure in the top 5 pasta dishes I've ever had. Order it!

Try the Gemelli - OUTSTANDING. Hands down the best restaurant in Greenpoint/Williamsburg. AMAZING!!!
Amp JonesFebruary 26, 2014
I might be a d*ck for mentioning it but they didn't honor my newbie discount, after asking about it. That said, the service was attentive and the food was great.
Michael FranceOctober 15, 2014
The chicken is always perfect, and the sausage (new to the menu for fall) is a must.
The New York TimesFebruary 23, 2011
Way Greenpoint and quiet on the street. Inside this neighborhood gem a vegetable paradise awaits, with wine and service to match. Meat, too! Read more

Pork chop with Dijon sauce... So gooood. All the pasta is great too.
