Homemade pasta plus homemade sauce equals ecstasy. I picked pappardelle with pomodoro (and a bottle of Pinot Noir, of course) but you can't make a mistake here.

The penne alla vodka is surprisingly good (and cheaper than what you'd get at most Italian restaurants in NYC). If you're willing to shell out cash for an awesome drink, go for the Franklin Flower.

Perfect place for brunch! There are cute outdoor tables in the back. The staff is ridiculously nice and very attentive. I got the spinach, goat cheese and roasted garlic frittata and it was perfect.

Their homemade pasta is always delicious. Their panna cotta is better than their tiramisu. The sorbet serving size is gigantic. Nice wine selection. Good to take visiting family and out of town guests

Cozy atmosphere, great food, perfect spot for a date. I got the penne a la vodka and our group split a bottle of red wine. This place is amazing, don't hesitate to go here if you can.

The food was really good and service was also great. The ambience of the place was very easy going . Nice for a date. I would return over and over and over again lol

Come for dinner, skip the brunch. Grandma's ragu or squid linguini. Start off with the Brooklyn seasonal on tap, sautéed calamari and some pate crostini. Sit at the front, it's much cooler.

A cute neighborhood Italian joint that's a good—but by no means spectacular—option if you're craving pasta.

The Spaghetti al Limone is incredible! Add the veggies to it and it's even better. You won't be disappointed whether you get the homemade version pasta or the pre-packaged pasta version :)

Great food! The ravioli in vodka sauce is delicious. Best vodka sauce I've ever had. Food came out fast. Only downside is that the service is super crappy.
Hannah EllsworthJuly 8, 2014
Awesome happy hour, delicious drinks, and extremelyyyy friendly and considerate staff. Waiter even asked us at 5 mins to the end of happy hour if we wanted anything else before the deals ended.

Very fresh caprese salad. Spinach tagliatelle Alfredo with grilled chicken was awesome. Tiramisu is a perfect example of what it should be.
EmBeeAugust 4, 2013
Absolutely incredible. Get the fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomato, basil antipasti. It's like NSA sexy-time. All pasta is fresh and the sauces slow-cooked. Tiramisu was delicious.

Pasta over cooked...sauce was very flat.It was cheap but for similar price go over the road and have a great pizza at barbonchino. If you want great amazing italian for an even better price go 2 Otto

The paper plane goes down like bourbon candy. Also solid Kale Caesar and Pasta A Limone

The handmade pasta is so good that it has healing capabilities. It cured my limp and added two points to my IQ.

The absolute best sautéed calamari I've ever had. Everything is delicious here - been for brunch and dinner. Very full, very happy :)

Grilled cheese was bomb. Tomato soup is just marinara sauce. Ravioli w burratta butter and sage was good to share
Ashley RudolphJune 7, 2015
Love brunch and dinner here. The wild boar and lamb ragu sauce over their handmade pastas are delicious!
James G.February 25, 2014
Grab the wild mushroom frittatas to start out with. Then treat yourself to some thick stuffed and deep fried french toast. That's right it's deep fried! It's so delicious.
Finley Bomer-LawsonNovember 9, 2015
I'm obsessed with this place. Great atmosphere, great staff, AMAZING hand-made pastas. Surprisingly affordable.
Kosha ShahDecember 14, 2014
Such a cozy place! Didn't go for good, had drinks at the bar! Bartender is super nice! Try the martini with blue cheese olives

The regular pasta is not vegan, but the gluten-free pasta (which is excellent) is. Also, surprisingly, the pesto is vegan!

The backyard area is SO CUTE and perfect for a Sunday brunch
Leah HammerschlagOctober 21, 2015
Great pasta, loved the vodka sauce and al limone. Don't think you can go wrong with anything.

LOOOOOOVE this place. Opened 2 months ago, menu is amazing. I'll definitely be back again sometime this week for another dinner.

As a wise waiter told us "there's life before Grandma's Ragu, and then there's life after." I can probably say the same about the sautéed calamari and the fennel alla parmigiana. #impeccable

Super tasty brunch! Coffee is nice and strong. Mushroom frittata yummy and shrimp BLT knocked my socks off.
Gabriel HayesJune 4, 2015
Love the black linguini (made with fresh squid ink pasta & calamari in a spicy tomato sauce).
Nathan S.April 16, 2014
Rotisserie Chicken is a win. Crisp skin, moist meat, great sauce and mashed potatoes. So good.
Tara DîanaJanuary 19, 2015
Gorgeous atmosphere and delicious brunch!!! I got baked eggs pomodoro...an Italian shakshuka.
Connie XiaoApril 23, 2017
The best part was the wine (I'm being generous with this rating).
Beril EsenJuly 24, 2015
Their bread was stale. Not much of a taste difference between the butternut squash and potato gnocchi. Black linguini with seafood is a winner, but if you want homemade pasta, order the pappardelle.
Joanna FlammJanuary 18, 2015
Really professional service. The tartines at brunch are quite large and the bread is nice and crunchy.
Andrew CamachoNovember 11, 2013
Definitely a must go. Amazing food and good prices.
Rachel DieselMay 23, 2014
Hands down the best Italian food I've ever had. Everything on the menu is amazing.

Squid ink linguini w/ calamari is 👌. Get the tiramisu for dessert. 🤤
Deep GujralJanuary 20, 2016
A great date night romantic place in crown heights
Kimberly SusanAugust 11, 2014
Amazing Italian, try their home cooked pasta & sauces! Also, brunch is pretty great!

The owner is a sweetheart! Definitely don't miss Grandma's Ragu with the homemade pappardelle.

absolutely delicious food. the butternut squash gnocchi is to die for
Katherine BellApril 17, 2016
food is very well priced and the menu is diverse. service is hit or miss though. cute patio and bar seating
David HoltzJune 18, 2017
The brunch is a) very good and b) very cheap.
Sandra RubinchikOctober 8, 2017
The pastas are hefty portions so don't overdo it with the apps. (Or do. Life is short.)
Alexander ElJanuary 25, 2015
Brunch, perfect price for the perfect meal. Also great bloody Mary's
Niels MadanApril 1, 2017
This place is awful. I for the first time sent a dish back-only to get a worse one! The ragu isn't a real ragu. It was more like Campbell's soup w a couple meat chunks. Butter sage was unrecognizable
violet davenportJuly 13, 2014
The apple tarte with vanilla gelato was the right amount of everything!
