This is one of the best Italian spots in Park Slope, Brooklyn. As soon as you enter the restaurant,…read moreyou feel like you're in Italy. Everything on the menu looked amazing, so I had the waiter choose my dish/wine pairing and he did a great job! I got the pesto with shrimp. The pasta is handmade and the wine is natural from Italy. The pesto is made the day of in the morning. All fresh ingredients. They have indoor seating and then more seating in the back that is the perfect spot. I love the exposed brick wall. This might be my new favorite Italian spot. I will be back soon! Thank you for the amazing experience.

Instead of picking a wine from a menu, you tell your server the flavor and mood of wine you're looking for and they bring out glasses or a bottle for you based on that. The food here is delicious and I was happy to see gluten free pasta options. The pork ragu was good but I was truly impressed by how good the texture of the gluten free pasta was. For me, the show stopper was the branzino. It was seasoned perfectly and the potato crust was a fun touch. The salad was nice and simple, but didn't blow me away. Portion sizes were good, though the prices are on the higher side. The restaurant is a great place for a friends' night or date night, and I'd keep the group small or make a reservation in advanced because it gets busy. It is definitely a more expensive spot, but worth it!

Food: Food is delicious here! We were a group of 5 and were able to try a variety of appetizers and…read moreentrees. For appetizers, we tried the escargots, French onion soup, calamari, and pate. Fresh bread (sliced baguette) and butter is also served after you order. For entrees, we had the pork chop, strip steak, and salmon. All dishes were excellent; I would highly recommend the French onion soup, pate, and pork chop. Overall, everything was very well made and you likely won't have a disappointing dish here. Service: Service was wonderful; our server was friendly and attentive. The manager/owner was very welcoming as well and checked in on us during the meal. Ambiance: This is a small restaurant but has a good number of tables that can accommodate both small and large groups. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. The restaurant gets pretty packed during peak dinner time so a reservation is recommended. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant!

The pasta with pistachio cream sauce was so unique and I can't stop thinking about it. Have plans to go again next week.

I went with a friend for dinner recently. I liked it--my friend had mixed feelings on it. Our…read morestarter (which we shared) was a roasted beets salad, and my friend thought it didn't taste as fresh as it could be. We both thought the pasta was very good--she had the tagliatelle with mushroom, and I had the Pappardelle Bolognese which I thought was excellent. Saved some and it still tasted good the next day. We also had coffee and shared a slice of chocolate mousse cake. (It was good) The service was okay, they were nice--possibly could have come over a little bit more during the meal to see if we needed anything. It was not very crowded in there at all when we were there. I'm up for giving them a chance to improve and become more seasoned, especially because I thought the meal was good. Will go again sometime.

**review is for Hanh's Banh Mi pop up only, never tried the pasta here**…read more I was so pleasantly surprised to see a new banh mi (and pho) menu pop up in this neighborhood, but a bit skeptical as it's located inside an Italian/pasta restaurant. Turns out the #1 classic banh mi is actually pretty damn good and decently priced at $9.75 (cash only). Could maybe use a little more veggies but hey, I'm not complaining. The bread was fresh and crisp and *didn't* scratch the roof of my mouth. If you're in the area definitely worth stopping in for and I hope it sticks around. Our host and server did say it was gonna be around "for the foreseeable future" which sounds promising! Personally the #2 (roast pork) was just ok, not really worth the extra $1.25 compared to the #1. Pho can also be skipped - lacked flavor and portion is quite small. It's what you'd expect for the area. They even have Viet iced coffee ($5) but it's not as strong and concentrated as it's supposed to be. Basically I'd return for just the #1 sandwich alone but that alone is worth it!

He was so welcoming and attentive. Told us the menu by heart. Gave great recommendations and packed out to go order with love! We had the burrata caprese, fried pizza, and shrimp fugilli (i think was the name) for apps. INCREDIBLE!!!!! Do not skip the fried pizza app. For entree I ordered the penne fiorentina with chicken. Flavorful. And delicious. My son had the spaghetti and meatballs. He loved it. We were too full for desserts but Anachi surprised us with samples of the lemon sorbet and fig ice cream. The fig was sooooo gooodddd! Wish this place wasn't so far from me but will def be my go to from now on!

We recently celebrated a family member's college graduation at Barbalu in Brooklyn, and we found…read morethis hidden gem. This cozy, family style Italian restaurant offers a warm atmosphere and an impressive bar. We enjoyed refreshing drinks, including peach spritzes, classic old-fashioneds, and Aperol spritzes, all while soaking in the inviting vibe. We ordered burrata and shrimp / calamari to start. Our meal featured a variety of entrées, and everything was delicious. The bronzino was a standout, while the ribeye steak earned rave reviews. The lamb chops and roasted chicken also delighted our taste buds, and we wrapped up with their delightful tiramisu. Barbalu truly made our graduation celebration special. Special thank you to Adriana and the staff for great service.

I had the short rib ragu; the pasta was al dente but the sauce was lackluster - way too salty yet still bland and 1-note. Meat was tender but wish there was more. Portions were tiny for a $28 pasta. House bread was stale. Overall, not the worst if you have $60 to spare for dinner and eat a bite somewhere else beforehand. Ambiance is strange: hard uncomfortable wooden chairs and tables complemented by a florescent half empty deli counter.
