It is pricey, but you're already ballin out by being there, so might as well grab the pairing as well. And if you want to be real crazy, grab some pizza at Roberta's after.

Definitely an experience. I was there for New Years eve, the price was higher than usual bc of that probably and also they had a guest chef from clown bar in Paris. The night went great 👍🏼

Beautiful experience where a dedicated team (including Carlo Mirarchi) prepares the meal in front of you. Only 12 counter seats available for this 20 course meal. Distinct Roberta's/Italian-influence!

You are seated at the bar with a view of the kitchen to watch your next dish being prepared from seasonal ingredients while you sip on perfectly paired wines. Time and money well-spent!

More people need to talk about the fact that beyond the exceptional meal, there’s a Japanese toilet and Byredo products in the restroom.

Open to only 12 diners per night, this spot is extremely difficult to get into. Once you snag a reservation, you'll be rewarded with an incredible 20+ course tasting menu. The pastas are all divine.

Easily one of the best meals of my life. Staff was super helpful. The substitutes that were made were possibly better than the actual menu items! Guests are free to change music on the record player.

Meticulously crafted Food served with perfection. Pair it with wine and you will be transported to heaven. The whole experience was beyond amazing. Come with an appetite and an open mind.

The best meal of my life. From the laid back but gregarious staff to the fascinating drink pairing to the unbelievable food, it is easily worth the price, and I normally bristle at these prices.

Fresh. Reservations are accepted at the beginning of the month. Guests receive more than 20 courses from chef Carlo Mirarchi, served at a dining counter in a relaxed space behind the Roberta's garden. Read more

A very solid tasting menu experience that doesn’t overstuff you, is relatively casual and focuses on food that tastes good rather than just puzzles you. Multiple pastas in there. Good wine options

The best meal you will ever have in Bushwick, hands down. But while also drinking the best wine and listening to Blondie's 'Parallel Lines' ON VINYL. Basically, blew Jean George's away...#bushwick
Suzy TranSeptember 6, 2019
Meal was amazing, but the beverage tasting menu was the icing on the cake. Also, the bathroom is probably the best restaurant bathroom that I’ve used.
Katie ChildsApril 4, 2015
Everything here is perfect. Love the entire team. Disclaimer: the wine pairing isn't "driving adjustable," but they will work within your limits.

Blanca, winner of the Best Big-Pimpin' Brooklyn award, serves some of New York’s priciest high-concept cooking to just 12 flush diners a night in 20-odd courses of tweezer-plated perfection. Read more

Definitely get he wine pairing. The sommelier is a genius. Not only is this the best chef's tasting & wine pairing on Earth, but the chef & staff are all so lovely.
Gregory FisherSeptember 21, 2018
A stellar meal, but 2 things to consider: AC can get cold, so come prepared; they don’t have nonalcoholic drinks besides soda, but they accommodated us with a mocktail from Roberta’s upon request.
Adriane MorrisonSeptember 25, 2020
The food and wine pairing is incredible and the sommelier had us laughing the entire time! Music was on point too.

Just 12 seats face a massive open kitchen that churns out the tasting-menu only option at $180 a pop, which is steep for anywhere in NYC, let alone Bushwick. Read more

Note: The multicourse sake, beer, and wine pairing costs $85, but if you tell the friendly drinks staff that you’re driving home, they’ll pour sips for $45. Read more

Delicious meal, really relaxed environment, and the open kitchen is a great element of the experience.
Tom LeeApril 1, 2013
Carlo Mirarchi’s gift as a chef is in finding ingredients that almost radiate their superior quality, and then cooking (or not cooking) them in ways that gently amplify their excellence.

Diners can play DJ by choosing from a stack of vinyl. Menu highlights include Sasso chicken, crudo, and agnolotti. – Green Guide Editor

Phenomenal. I rarely say this but probably one of the best meals I have ever had. You must go.
Corinna PSeptember 28, 2012
A thoroughly joyful experience. Courses are inventive and delicious. Keep your fingers crossed that a goat is somewhere in the mix..

The record collection is pretty great, maybe they'll even let you pick
Cathy AquilaDecember 23, 2016
Amazing food. This chef has real talent.
Kris KelleyNovember 17, 2015
Put yourself in the hands of the very talented kitchen staff for 20 courses.
