The food here never disappoints ! The only way to start a meal here is with their octopus carpaccio - super fresh and light! We also loved the spaghetti w clams - used the bread to wipe the clam sauce clean. The service was a little slow but that's to be expected when there is only one waiter. A small and cozy restaurant perfect for date night or catching up with friends. read more

After a fun Dyker Heights holiday excursion, we were looking for a hot meal and place to warm our toes. As it was a holiday (Jan 1st), I called ahead to check the hours. The friendly hostess said that the'd be open for another two hours (8pm closing). When I said, "we'll be right over". She said, "Excellent! We will see you soon!" Parking was much easier than we had experienced in Bay Ridge. The entrance was just around the corner from where we parked. Set against a beige background in a classic script lettering is the name Annabelle's. A lower brown awning adds a touch of mystique as you enter the vestibule. The low lighting, exposed brick, and rich brown trim add to the cozy vibes of Annabelle's. The feeling was festive and we were allowed to choose whatever table we wanted. There were about 5 other occupied tables, most appearing halfway through their meals. There are single room, very clean bathrooms at the back of the restaurant with a large sink and adorable old fashioned chain flushing mechanism. As soon as we sat down, we were provided a large basket with an entire loaf of crunchy Italian bread. The waiter offered us the main menu, the specials menu, and the drinks menu. Immediately we were all fixed to at least one or two of the items on the specials menu. I had to order the bruschetta. This came on the same Italian bread, but richly toasted with olive oil and drizzled with a balsamic glaze. This was also topped with a shaved Parmesan cheese. I loved this! As I reviewed the main menu, I found something more unique, and it nearly matched the pumpkin ravioli. Instead of my initial choice, I went with the pear ravioli from the everyday menu. It was served in a warm brown butter sage sauce with butter roasted walnuts. The raviolis had a mixture of mascarpone, ricotta, and reggiano cheese. The fresh pear was subtle and not overtly sweet. I would recommend this if you want to try something slightly different. The toasted walnuts were the best part of the dish and made it the most memorable. The angel shrimp was served in a light pink cream sauce with jumbo shrimp. The waiter provided an extra plate for the casings. This was a generous portion, that was so good, my friend could barely put her fork down. The special menu offered a pappardelle which came in a light clear sauce with roasted tomatoes, shredded basil, and capers. This was a large enough dish for my other friend to take home with some of our extra crispy bread. We didn't have space for dessert, but the cappuccino was served with an abundance of cinnamon, just as I happily expected. All of the staff were friendly and our orders came out very quickly. It was clear that they have an efficient kitchen, capable of handling crowds. And yet, the staff is patient enough to offer you suggestions and share their preferences. I was so happily surprised with Annabelle's and hope I find myself back here again! read more

Recently catered from here for an event and the pastas were on point, we loved the penne alla vodka and their pesto pasta were a hit! Was not a fan of thier ceasar salad and found it quite expensive (cost more than the pasta if you add chicken) we would skip the salad for next event but would def come back for their pasta! read more

Annabelle's is a really delicious Italian restaurant located in Brooklyn. Walking in here feels like you've come to grandmas house for a comforting meal. *AMBIANCE* The restaurant is really nice and cozy and conveniently located near the Dyker Heights Christmas lights area. We got there right before 7pm and was able to walk in, but the restaurant was quickly filled to the brim thereafter. *FOOD* I really love how their pastas are made in house. You could really taste the difference! We ordered a few dishes including: -Buffalo Wings: These were nice and crispy on the exterior and had a juicy center. Comes with a side of celery, carrot sticks and blue cheese. -Angel Shrimp: Highly recommend this! The pasta was al dente and the cream sauce was perfection. Our entrees also came with complimentary bread. *SERVICE* Service was on the slower side and felt inattentive at times. They were really busy, which is understandable and catering to much larger parties during the evening. Overall, highly recommend coming here for the food if you're in Bay Ridge/Dyker Heights! read more

Recently came here for a double date with friends of ours to meet up after they visited the Dyker Heights Christmas Lights in the neighborhood. It's been some time since coming here during the Christmas season, I was pretty excited to experience the overall vibe and of course, see if the food is just as good as it usually is. For this time of year, we were proactive and made reservations at 8PM for us four, and we only had to wait a few minutes for them to finish setting up when we arrived. This place was JAM city! Every table was festive; laughter filled the space, and the smells coming from the kitchen called to my empty stomach. We were seated in the back at a round table, and got right to reviewing the specials for the evening and drinks. We all got their sangria (red) and it was delicious! Not too sweet and not just straight wine. Generous glasses were poured, and we immediately fell into exploring the menu. Me personally, always get the Angel Shrimp pasta, because it is always so delicious and they are generous with the pasta to shrimp ratio. Our friends got the bolognese pasta, and the chicken parm, but vodka style - which to me was absolutely genius! My husband got the Tagliatelle Maria which is a light cream sauce pasta with a splash of vodka, prosciutto, and sundried tomatoes. Not only are all their pastas made in house, but they aren't heavy belly bombs; they are light and have great texture. Must haves: Baked clams, fried calamari Must haves even if you think you're too full for dessert: mini cannolis (1 order is 3 minis) for the table We closed the place down at 10PM, and we were just so caught up in our conversations and discussing the great food, service, and selection. A staple to Dyker Heights! read more

Great Food. Chicken wings, Caesar Salad, Veal Parm were all delicious. Service was trained as a professional, really appreciated the service here, wine was delicious too. Great meal, just go! read more

Ok so I really really wanted to like this place. Waitress was inattentive and seriously treated me like I wasn't even there. Never once coming to ask me how the food was? If I needed anything? Etc... fine I suppose if they were super busy, they weren't. I also requested to please make sure that the pasta wasn't drowning in sauce, if it's a good sauce it doesn't need to overtake the homemade pasta. Suffice to say I got pasta in a swimming pool of sauce. Speaking of which, wayyyyyyyy too much salt in the sauce. No bs, the saltiest sauce I've ever had. The meal I ordered was the "Sunday gravy". The meats were ok at best. The desert was blueberry panicotti. Tasted like silly Puddy with literally no blueberries. Very very disappointed in the entire meal. And even more so in the non existent service. read more

Love this spot! The best homemade pasta I've had in BayRidge, Brooklyn. They have some great appetizers like fried calamari, sausage/broccoli rabe/risotto spring rolls, and mozzarella triangles. They serve All of your favorite Italian sandwiches, and pizza. My favorite dishes are the Spaghetti w shrimp, the chicken Italiano and the shrimp parmigiana. I have tried a little of everything on the menu and have enjoyed every meal. It's a nice small place to have a quiet dinner. Delivery is fast and the food arrives nice & hot! Service is great, food is delicious and even the desserts are worth trying. Especially the tiramisu..I've tried the strawberry and original and loved them both! read more

The Food Was Excellent.

And I advised him of the other 2 That Completely Ingnored My Party of Family..I advised him that The Tip was For Him. Food 4 stars .

Great atmosphere, food was amazing, and the staff were very attentive. Took the family there for dinner and everyone loved their meal. Close proximity to the Dyker Heights Christmas lights so that was a nice way to walk off our full stomachs. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area. read more

Annabelle's has been on my list for a while and I was finally able to try it this past weekend. For apps we shared some table bread and brussels sprouts which were perfected roasted and crispy. My only note is about the butter which tasted old like it had been cut and stored in the fridge for a while. I opted for olive oil and balsamic after i tasted the butter. For my main, I ordered the tagliatelle maria which was absolutely fantastic. There was barely any prosciutto in the dish, however, I don't think it needed it anyhow. My companion ordered the chicken martini and a side of penne vodka which was delivered as well. We both agreed that the portions were generous and would come back again for good food and great service. read more

Not necessarily a place I'd come to for date night. This is more of a family joint, and somewhere you come to try ALL the apps and ALL the good Italian eats. I was a fan of Annabelle's former "Bella Luna" and I'm happy to say the quality hasn't been sacrificed at all. The apps we tried were spot on (fried calamari, fried zucchini). My chicken parm was SO good (and that means a lot coming from someone who makes it homemade at least once a week). Their wines by the glass are somewhat limited, but the Merlot I ordered was decent. Service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance is casual, while remaining warm and inviting. Very happy to have this spot so close to home! read more

Came here with my husband for lunch since we were going shopping nearby. Decided to give it a try since there is lunch special according to the picture posted. The price did go up from $12 to $15 which is still worth it. You get an entree and salad. I'm usually not a big fan of pasta but my husband said to try the pasta instead of getting the hero. He got the penne Annabelle and I got casarecce with sausage and broccoli rabe. They were both really good, much better than I thought! I love my dish so I definitely recommend it! The pasta is also freshly made which makes it feel authentic. Best part, it also comes with complimentary soft bread which was delicious. We will definitely be going back! read more

I don't leave 5 stars very often but this place is really amazing, and for the money well worth it. If you visit Dyker Heights Lights, this is the best place you could eat in the area. All pastas are homemade and delicious, and the sauces are fantastic. Highly recommend the Alfredo sauce-even though it's not on the menu, the bucatini with meatballs and the Sunday gravy if you are lucky enough to be there on that special. read more

Good food , nice atmosphere. Polite staff. When they get busy, best go elsewhere. You can wait an hour for your food. If not busy, they do fine, and the food is incredible read more

Have been wanting to go here since they opened. My husband said let's go out without the kids and I suggested we give them a try. We were not disappointed! From the moment we stepped in the door we were welcomed warmly. The food was AMAZING! And the service exceptional. The place is small so I recommend making a reservation. The only bad thing was the flat screen television. WHY do restaurants feel they need a TV? If I wanted to watch TV while I was eating dinner I would have stayed home and ordered take out. I recommend removing it. It honestly takes away from the ambiance and is distracting. I was happy our table didn't have a direct view and we could enjoy each other's company. I had the pear ravioli and my husband had the mushroom lasagna. The pasta was so fresh! They don't lie when they say it's made daily. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert, but we will definitely be back!! read more

Great place all together. Super clean great service and chocolate cake always have to bring some home.

Quick and friendly service, and very good food! I had the spaghetti with calamari, which was full of some of the most tender calamari I've had in a long time. The wine selection is modest, but the Chianti did the trick read more

We just became regulars. We mentioned that we were starving and ordered quickly. We just started eating from the bread basket and our appetizers were coming out already.

I've ordered off of Uber Eats from here a couple of times before I realized how high the service fee was (over $5) so I decided to call and order directly instead. He asked if I was a new customer and where I was located and I said Dyker Heights. He went on a tangent saying it was too far without even letting me give him the address! I offered and he kept saying it was too far anyway. I said it was only a 4-5 minute bike ride and he put me on a 10 minute hold and then hung up on me and never called back (he had my phone number). I really loved their ceasar salad so I decided to order from Uber Eats again. Previously I got the ceasar and the penne vodka. I love both. Those 2 dishes are great. But this time I got chicken parm and it was gross. It's not fried chicken, it's battered and it was extremely soggy. My fiancé got a sandwich and everything including the bread was soggy. As much as I like their ceasar salad and penne vodka, in a neighborhood with 12,000 other Italian restaurants, I can probably find somewhere better food and better customer service somewhere else. read more

I haven't been here in a while so I decided to come back for some great food after work with my daughter. The service has always been exceptional here. The nice lady who greeted & seated us, gave my daughter a Hi-chair for her dolls which was super nice. I decided to give a different dish a try this time around - Frutti di Mare which is Clams, shrimp, & calamari, served in a spicy tomato sauce which sounded better than it tasted. I really wanted to love it, but I felt it wasn't seasoned well enough and tasted really bland. My daughter on the other hand loved her plate and ordered another one since she couldn't get enough. Regardless, of me not liking my food, Ill still be returning but I will just stick to the dishes I have tried in the past. read more
