Food was great, had the braised lamb shank, black truffle raviolis and the chocolate tartufo for dessert, was all shared of course. Service was a bit dicey but still may have been understaffed from Sandy. Waiters were bar tending as well. Overall, place was just what i was looking for. read more

Excellent!! We had dinner here last night. The second we tasted the food, we knew the Chef/owner is Italian. Being a native Italian, I can always taste the difference. I felt I was back in Naples, sure enough when I asked where the chef was from, he was from the Sorrento area. The pizza was amazing!! I have pizza in Naples every summer, so I am very picky! I highly recommend this restaurant....don't hesitate to eat here! P.S. we had the Spaghetti Carbonara, the black ink seafood pasta, pizza Margherita, an arugula salad and shrimp app. Don't leave without trying the Nutella Pizza....to die for!! read more

The negative reviews are a total shocker! Compared to all the overpriced, overhyped restaurants in that neighborhood.. Baci is my saving grace. Nice staff, GREAT BREAD, and completely delicious, appropriately priced entrees. My recs are the eggplant appetizer and the beet gnocchi. Both are seriously mind blowingly delicious. read more

Would I drive from NYC to Williamsburg for mediocre Italian? Not really. Spaghetti pomodoro and creamy carbonara were cosi' cosi'. Service: indifferent read more

Excellent pizza will come back again.. My favorites are the Margherita and Prosciutto e Fungui pizza.

I am here now I've been here before the food is good the service is good they have a limited menu but what they have is really good at a very reasonable price the staff and owners are very attentive to your needs to the extent that there espresso machine was not working their mother lives above the restaurant so she made me the espresso. YOU CAN'T ASK FOR OR DO BETTER THAN THAT. that's why I keep coming back. Give it a try you will not be sorry. read more

I love the pizza and their brunch menu. The service is always great and pretension-free which is an anomaly in this neighborhood (unfortunately). These are real Italians making Italian food so they know what they are talking about! read more

excellent food and well priced. we ordered thei special strawbeerry arugala salad, pizza magherita, porkloin wrapped in bacon, hasd encrusted lamchops, sphagetti and meatballs, and snapper. Everything was very tasty and good but we envied the table next to us that had the lamb shank. The only thing that wasnt so special was the spaghetti and meatballs but the pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat was of a good cut. the desserts were well prices and the pistachio mousse cake was very good as was the tiramisu and generous sizes. read more

This place is all around great. The service is great and you still get that homely feel that's hard to come by. I usually go with the carbonara. They always allow me to add sweet Italian sausage to it. I've also had the braised short ribs that is prepared very well and juicy. If you are with a group of at least 2, I would have the truffle oil pizza as an appetizer. They also have a full bar with nice scotch options. I was walking by one day...actually on 4th of July and Bloomberg was there with his family. Go check it out. During summer there is outside patio seating available. read more

This was my favorite place when we lived in Williamsburg, and is now worth the occasional cab ride from park slope! The food is just fantastic, always (especially the violetta di parma), the service is outstanding, the garden is lovely, and the wine is delicious. Yum. read more

This reveiw is long overdue... I hosted my son's baptism lunch here a few months ago for a party of 15 and Baci nailed it! Mimo coordinated the whole menu for me and everyone was extremely satisfied with the options. I come from a family who is very picky about food but all they did was rave about it! With desserts, various apps, entrees and tons of wine, my bill only came to $75 per person. Excellent staff and excellent food! Highly recommend! read more

I had the lasagna. Had better. Not worth the price. Super chill place. Awesome waitstaff. Beautiful backyard. If only the food was better. Maybe we should of stuck with the pizza and not tried their other stuff. I would give it more stars but it IS a restaurant and above everything else people should go to a restaurant for the food. read more

I'm still dreaming about the Violette di Parma!!! Amazing red beet and goat cheese gnocchi! They have a great outdoor seating area and their wine bottles are easy on the pocket than most restaurants! Great service! Will definitely be back there every time I visit NY! One of my favorite Italian places right now! :) read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Their dining room is not at all representative of the back garden, which is lovely and quiet and a great place for a data. Their beet and goat cheese gnocchi is like nothing I've had. Absolutely extraordinary. read more

Went here for Valentines Day so we only had a Prix Fixed menu to look at. The service was not stellar, but it wasn't terrible. They were def. pumping out courses and moving things along quickly to accommodate the volume/reservations ... but the food was absolutely excellent. The Mushroom salad had wonderful flavor - I wouldn't recommend it as it was very low on actual mushrooms .. but my lamb and gnocchi were stellar and my boyfriends lobster and black pasta was incredible. And I had one of the best homemade tiramisu I've had in the city so far. I'd absolutely go back and would love to eat there on a normal evening when it's not so crowded and I can try their larger menu. read more

I don't normally post Yelp reviews, in fact I cant remember the last time I did. This place deserves a shout out. We went on a Thursday night and we were a little alarmed to find that we were one of two couples at the place. In the past I have taken this as a sign that a restaurant might not be good. Granted it was a very cold night and the restaurant was a solid 7-8 minute walk from any subway station, so we decided to keep an open mind. Thank god we did because everything we had there was phenomenal. The pizza was some of the best Ive had in Brooklyn, I cant remember the name of the one we had but it had some type of pepperoni on it. It was perfectly cooked. The spaghetti carbonara was the best carbonara I have ever had, outside of my mothers. When it came time for dessert the, the tiramisu did not disappoint either! I would definitely go back again as my girlfriend and I left very satisfied for a meal that cost us under $70 combined! Special shout out to our waiter who was also very kind! Worth the trek in the cold! read more

The red beet gnocchi is so good, I crave it all day every day. I've also had the lamb papperdelli (spelling? wide noodles with lamb ragout) and this was also delicious. 4 stars only because their desserts are really uninspired and not that tasty. But their main courses so far have been simply to die for. read more

Not sure why I didn't post this sooner. Wednesday's are half price bottles of wine nights and that pairs sooo good with their homemade pizzas and pastas. The pizza is perfectly thin and crispy and the pasta perfectly al dente and cheesy. Eat in the backyard or order to your bed hungover. And while you're at it, get the tiramisu and the focaccia with nutella, thank me now and regret it later. read more

It's a 1.5. This is a low score, and this restaurant certainly deserves it. How it got a mention in the guide michelin for best value is a mystery. The positive- half off good bottles of wine on Wednesdays. The negatives- the waiter was snarky and did not mention this special until I asked, and then tried to charge us the full price on the check. That is not the worst part- the "homemade pasta" is straight from a barilla box. There is no way those butterfly pasta were homemade. It was student food for sure, something any hungover, half-wit college student could whip together on a Sunday afternoon. It's a shame that such a beautiful backyard space is serving mediocre at best food. No wonder the place was empty, and the waiters obviously frustrated about it. read more

My fave restaurant in Williamsburg....great service and great food. Red beet & goat cheese gnocchi is the best thing on the menu!

This is a true Italian restaurant. Not easy to find genuine, simple and fresh food in New York. The garden is a plus.

yummy pasta, really low key and good service

i came here because they were having the dine in brooklyn thing going on, where you could get brunch for 2 for $23. my friend and i were excited because they had $5 cocktails. bloody marys! passionfruit mimosas! unfortunately the bloody mary was a watery mary and not so great. the pasta was so so but the ceasar salad had bits of cheese and lots of dressing. mmm. why so stingy with butter and marmalade that came with the free bread though? service was attentive but i don't think the food was spectacular. i might come here again but then again, i'm rarely in willamsburg so probably not. read more

I wasn't all that impressed with this place. For one, the atmosphere sucks and it was impossibly loud. The fresh pasta was pretty tasty in terms of its consistency, but the flavors were nothing spectacular. The pizza, which looked absolutely delicious, was a soggy wet mess on my plate. I know that fresh mozzarella is watery and all, but the pizza dough itself was not baked well enough to absorb any of the moisture from the cheese. I had to devour it so quickly because the longer that cheese sat on that dough, the more it turned to... ew. read more

Saturday night is our special date night.....That is our one night to splurge and appreciate good eats. My husband found this place on Open Table. We ordered a pizza, calzone and then two entrees. We didn't eat lunch so we were extra hungry. The pizza was burnt on the bottom and so was the calzone. They would have been amazing if they weren't burnt. My entree: shrimp with pasta & asparagus. My main dish was incredible. My husband had rigatoni and meat sauce which was average at best...The restaurant was packed with 20 somethings and it seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves. The owner who was from Italy, walked around to make sure everyone liked their meal. My only gripe was the fact that the first two courses were burnt. The wait staff was attentive but they stood next to our table the entire time we were there. I would try this place out if you are in the area, but to be on the safe side order an entree! read more

Consistently good food and really nice wait staff and owners. Would definitely recommend! We have been going there for probably more than 8 years... read more

amazing foodd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! highly recomend for cozy romantic dinner with u and a loved one. the outdor patio was very nice to eat in. very dim with candles. very cute. they even let you smoke out there if you sit closer to the wall..... they have good wine selections. the prosciutto and smoked mozz wrapped in asparagus was a nice appetizer. small portion though so get something else like calamari...... inside is very nice. very hip and funky and the staff is very nice and welcoming. love it! read more

I went to Brooklyn with aspirations to get something I couldn't get out in Colorado. My friends wanted something normal since we had etheopian the night before, so we settled on Italian. I started looking at different menus online and found that this place had the real spaghetti carbonara, my favorite pasta dish from Italy, and my mind was made up. There are places that say they serve carbonara, but it isn't carbonara unless it's made with eggs and panchetti. When we got there we were served bread and olive oil, the bread was light and airy, very much like the bread I had everywhere in Italy with one catch. It was burnt to hell. This really got me worried about the meal. If they are burning the bread this bad, how are they going to make the carbonara well? Then our entrees came, and I was blown away. I had carbonara several times in Italy, and only one place was on par with this. It was perfect. Very creamy, and just delicious. It was great to be able to get such a genuine Italian meal in NYC. Everyone else's meals were pretty good as well. The wood fire oven produced some quality pizza and calzones. I'd give this place 4 stars because of the terrible bread, but the carbonara was too incredible. Check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Love this place! Go here for brunch, dinner, whatever. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is laid back and the service is top-notch. The drinks are even awesome! read more

Foods were a bit above average, and the service was ok. What annoyed me was they put so much, I mean so much of pepper in my pasta order (carbonara) before they brought the dish to the table. Who does that? Isn't it supposed to be added at the table with my request to do so at this price point restaurant? It was very annoying as I told my waiter that I was gonna share my pasta with my toddler, and I was not expecting him to remember that, but I wasn't imagining I would have to specify not to add pepper in advance. read more

We live in the Rochester area of upstate, NY, and our 3 children live in Brooklyn and LIC, so we visit the NYC area several times a year. After having dined here on a few different occasions, we decided this would be the perfect place to hold the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding in Brooklyn. Mimmo was so accommodating, kind and very flexible with the menu. Making the arrangements long distance was not a problem. The night of the event was fantastic- we packed the house and every guest complimented the delicious food, service and atmosphere. Baci Abbracci will become a regular stop whenever we are in Brooklyn. I highly recommend dining here as a couple, family or large group gathering! read more

My husband and I had dinner on a Thursday night and it was well done, quiet, and romantic. We ordered a seafood dish (mussels, scallops, fish, etc, in a tomato based broth). It was very good. The pasta with lamb ragout was a bit bland, I wish they would have used a bit more garlic or other herbs, but it was acceptable. After reading reviews, I wish I ordered the red beet gnocci. Athought not really Italian, I was hoping to see creme brulee or some sort of flan in the desert menu, as this was what I was craving for, so we didn't order desert. read more

i enjoyed back and abbracci....we made a reservation here with a crew of 15 and they were very accommodating...so we all had a drink at the bar then sat...the staff was very friendly and so was the owner....so the food was good..had the calamari app and it was very tasty and then had homemade cavatelli with broc rabe and sausage..which i also enjoyed...the tiramusu also very good...and i believe all 15 of us enjoyed our food....the music was a little loud but who cares the food was good...for 15 of us the bill was $728 thats without tip...surprisingly they didn't put a gratuity on the bill...so saying i will be going back read more

been ordering from here for years but recently i have been grossed out by what i have been sent. the chicken parm was tough and gray and the vegetables were completely murdered. i was pretty bummed. I hope things get better soon or I'm going to have to pick a new spot for my parm! read more

It's all about the crust which has a light doughy fluffy bit o' heaven kneaded in to every bite. The sauce, cheese, and toppings are all good, but can't compare to the crust. Great outdoor patio seating and good service. Sometimes the crowd can be a little bridge and tunnel or nuevo Williamsburg, but the 'za is damn good and with a couple glasses of wine who cares if you're surrounded by the real Real Housewives of New Jersey. read more

The attempt at a 'fashionable' interior is just loud, the pizza and pasta nothing special and the prices too high. In general it seems to be catering to a crowd of one time customers or people who are not really concerned about the food. read more

DISAPPOINTED! Never received my food. Ordered, food was to be delivered 30-40 minutes. Call at 55 minutes later to follow up and was told delivery was on way (I live less than 5min away), I then call back again at 1hr and 15min later and was told they're busy with lots of deliveries and couldn't give me any assurance when my delivery would arrive. The owner was extremely rude with no customer service skills. read more

Been coming here for a few years now and I must say this is hands down one of the best brick oven pizzerias in New York. Everything's fresh and has amazing taste. Service is excellent, and eating outside in the back is a great for a date night. Definitely try this place is you want a real brick oven pizza. read more

Excellent food. Truffle pizza and red beet gnocchi were standouts.

Very good food and atmosphere. Its not so much a traditional Italian restaurant, as a modern restaurant that serves Italian themed food. I had the gnocchi, and it was delicious. the service was excellent and a very good value for the price. read more
