It's not too loud either -- you can talk to others without yelling. The insalata verde is delicious. It's nice and simple, like many Sicilian foods, containing arugula, pistachios, caciocavallo cheese, olive oil, and maybe a hint of lemon. Everything is made fresh, including the sauce, which is tangy and authentic. I have ordered a side of sauce before and the owner gave me a nice portion. I think he should add it to the menu as I'm sure I'm not the only one who would buy a big container of it. We also love the arancinette (rice balls with cheese). They are crispy on the outside while still tasting light. We have also tried various pasta options, which have been great. The owner even brought out frozen grapes in the summer one time, which was a nostalgic treat.

Spumoni Gardens is one of those places where I already know I'm not leaving with just one thing…read more The Sicilian slice is DIVINE. Thick, cheesy, saucy, crispy around the edges, and just completely different from a regular slice of pizza. This is the thing I'm coming here for first. Then there are the homemade frozen treats. I've had both the Italian ices and the ice cream, in more flavors than I can even remember at this point, and I genuinely can't tell you which one I like better. Every time I think I've picked a favorite, I try another flavor and change my mind. LOL. There's something very old-school Brooklyn about the whole experience too. It's not trying to be trendy or reinvent itself. It knows exactly what it is, and that's part of why people keep coming back. Give me a Sicilian slice and something frozen afterward and I'm happy.

We chose L&B Spumoni Gardens because of the strong reviews and because it seemed to be one of the…read moremore popular places in the area. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

Indoor is cute and they have a great backyard patio. Waiter had an italian accent so felt very authentic. Split the Margherita & Diavola pizzas and Rucola e Parmigiano salad with 4 people and it was a perfect amount of food. Loved the salad (must get) & both pizzas, but my fave was the Diavola. Paired with a crisp white wine, which the waiter recommended. Funny though - the one glass of wine was the same price as the Margherita pizza, but that's NYC for ya!

Truffle Tagliatelle - This is a pasta I've loved and persisted theough time; the spinach-color adds a little fun into the pasta, while the boar ragu offers a classic comforting meat and tomato base. The black truffle mince adds a luscious flavor of deep mushroom intensity. You can also taste that the pasta is freshly made as it is delightfully tender.

I randomly stumbled upon…read morethis business and decided to give it a try since it holds my favorite type of food ever, pasta !! It's a very small shop with just a few seats, a menu that's kind of hidden above to the right and a hand written menu (with specials for the day) on their drink fridge. I stuck with my gut and got the spicy vodka rigatoni (includes ground pork in the sauce) and fried chicken cutlet on the side with a drink and chips, the chips were free since it was between their lunch special time (12-2pm). The worker that helped me was very informative and answered every single question I had. I waited no more than 5-10 minutes for my food, it was piping hot and FRESH... everything was perfectly made. I really couldn't stop eating it. The fried cutlet was cooked just right and the pasta was an al dente texture to be appreciated. I've also never had a Spellegrino before, it definitely complimented my meal. I will be returning to try something else (or maybe the same thing lol) when I'm around that area sooner rather than later. Pasta: 10/10 Fried chicken cutlet: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Pricing: Fair
