There were three of us, and we each ordered a separate appetizer, all of which were delicious. For the main course, two of us had the ragu, which was outstanding. My son ordered the daily pasta dish, and he was very pleased. Dessert was also very good. The service was relaxed, even though the restaurant was crowded. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

For all the years I have walked past this restaurant I have completely missed out on this quaint yet full flavored gem. One of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in a very long time, no wonder they are always fully booked. My friend raved about this place and I was extremely pleased and fulfilled. For an appetizer we had the wild winter salad and mussels drenched with a white wine based sauce with fresh basil and freshly baked bread saturated in the delicious base. We also tried the filleted hake in a bubbling sauce and fingerling potatoes and ravioli stuffed with ricotta in a red tomato gravy. Pure deliciousness!!!! I tried a semi sweet red wine sorry can't remember the name. The appetizer and main dishes were so amazing that we had to have the pear and chocolate cake with vanilla whip and the crème fraiche panna cotta

One of the best and famous Italian restaurants in Park Slope. Hard to try anything else on the menu than the Saltimbocca Alla Romana... I have tried other dishes but really hard to beat this one due to all the different flavors. Love the desserts as well and great wine selection. Service is always great. A must try !

Lots of cute, old fashioned decorations that give off an authentic vibe. Came in without reservations on a Monday night before the dinner rush. It tended to get busy after we got settled and put in our order.Ordered the farro salad to start. The funky goat cheese was a perfect foil to the sweetness of the roasted squash. Great way to start the meal. The tagliatelle met our expectations. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Not sure what we were thinking when we ordered the hake filet. The fish just wasn't to our liking - felt a little too salty. The vegetables felt a little blah, like they were roasted in olive oil and nothing tremendously special about them. Not a bad dish. Not a great dish. If we were to come back we'd order the farro salad and the tagliatelle again. Would be interested in the other pasta offerings as well.

Oh. So. YUMMY!!! This is a neighborhood joint (locals, families and the like) that we stumbled on.....and did not disappoint! I had hanger steak (cooked to perfection) while the hubz had veal cheeks (I'm not a veal fan but looked good) which he loved. Carrots on the side along with sautéed chard balanced out the meal. The wine list (by the glass) had something for everyone (check out the Syrah you won't be disappointed!). We did not have dessert but I'm sure they were great. Portions were big (enough for breakfast the next day) so value is there. Check it out!

Highly recommend you come with a group if you can (we came in a group of 6) and do family style so you can try more of their pastas which are all pretty great. We got 7 pastas, 2 antipastis, 1 side vegi, and 3 desserts and walked out very satisfied. For the pastas, we tried the Casunziei (beet ricotta ravioli with butter, poppyseed), Malfatti (Swiss chard ricotta gnocchi with brown butter, sage), Tortelli di zucca (squash/mascarpone ravioli with parm), paccheri(2 orders, large pasta rounds with pork shoulder ragu and creamy goat cheese), tagliatelle (pork/beef/veal ragu), spaghetti a la chitarra neri (basically black squid ink seafood pasta). My personal favorites were the tortellini di zucca (reminded me of an amazing pasta I had at don Angie - slightly sweet bc of the roasted squash I think - delish), and the Paccheri (the noodle texture was so perfectly Al dente / chewy, and can't go wrong with creamy goat cheese). Others loved the spaghetti, but I personally felt it was less unique and a little more salty than I preferred (it also is not very spicy despite note on menu). Could probably skip the Casunziel - unique and pretty to look at but not my favorite to eat. The Malfatti too was fun - very green given Swiss chard, but probably didn't need more than one which is why family style was perfect. The antipastis were both phenomenal. The farro salad is a must try. Not a salad in my mind ha but delish! The toasty hazelnuts and brown butter vinaigrette were such a great touch and also goat cheese in this one - we are a fan of goat cheese if you can't tell. The creamy oxtail cuttlefish polenta also in same must try category unless you don't like polenta. Honestly even if you don't like it, try a bite bc it might change your mind it's that magical. The side we got was braised carrots with yogurt. Fine but skippable especially if you're choosing between sides vs antipasti.Finally dessert. First I've seen of explicitly decaf coffee in the affogato and very happy about that on a dinner menu. It's also one of the best I've had. Seriously. Whatever that crunchy stuff was in there - basically crack in dessert form. Panna cotta was delightful too / not too sweet and the almond biscotti or cookie that went with it was a great complement. The pear chocolate tart was crisp on the sides and chewy on the middle. Amazing with the cream. Each of the desserts was a favorite of someone at the table so you can't go wrong with any. Also worth highlighting the smoky mescal cocktail. Folks at our table doubled up on it. Very tasty.
