I had just finished a side quest in Bushwick and haven't eaten all day. 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

They have an Innowi tablet where you can order in store on a kiosk. They seem to have a website where you can do the same if you wanted to order ahead of time, but the website faults when you put your credit card info in. Sometimes when I'm in a rush I try to call them to order ahead but sometimes they don't pick up. They force me to use an intermediary (DoorDash) that marks up their items and takes commission from them. I want them to get all their money!

So so chewy your jaw will have to get to work; i can see how some ppl wouldn't like it bc it's too chewy and dense but i loved it rating: 4/5 - if i take into consideration of the whole menu, this would probably be 3/5 but since i always just get the scallion pancake and pastries, and they have consistently been delectable, it's a solid 4! - i just love the texture and flavor a lot especially the xia - the ambiance is super hippie and chill; it's a perfect spot for breakfast and quick bites; they also got this bar section with a tv playing old school films giving retro vibes - their pastries were all delicious with some unique selection - service has consistently been amazing; workers there were all happy and chill vibes - definitely give it a try but start from the xia and pastries for sure IG: @nom.noms.only

It was dead when we walked in, but I had seen lots of great reviews on Uber eats so I hoped that dining service would be just as good. The space is simple, nothing too fancy, just a local neighborhood joint which I kind of adore. Our server with a young kid, sweet but shy, very friendly though. I got the breakfast quesadilla and the sweet plantains. Both were absolutely delicious and simple for breakfast locally. My only complaint is that I wish it had a sauce... like something to top it with. The sour cream was great, but I wanted like a green or red sauce or something to give it a bit more punch. It was a little dry, but perfectly cooked... a strange combo lol. The coffee, however, made us both chuckle when it came to the table. The glasses were entirely hard to use and not something that I would recommend for table service. It was a struggle and we would've just preferred a simple mug. Otherwise, everything was great and we left happy and full. I'll most definitely be back.

This sandwich place is fantastic, offering reasonable prices and generous portions. I opted for the Porchetta Sandwich and appreciated the subtle hint of fennel seed on the meat. It provided a delightful bite without being overly greasy. The combination of pickled red onion, arugula, and the seasoning from the meat tempted me to dig in more and more. Moreover, it's conveniently located, with fast service--perfect for a grab-and-go option to enjoy by the nearest park and savor the view. read more

OMG this place is amazing. I randomly stopped in with a friend when I was visiting Brooklyn Bridge Park this weekend and was so happy we stopped in.

A&C Super. I do not…read moreunderstand this. Or all the crazy good reviews. The name alone is a small lawsuit waiting to happen as there is nothing, nothing, nothing super about a sandwich at A&C Super. I would know. I ordered the turkey and provolone. This not a complicated sandwich. It is, in fact, the kind of sandwich you order when you want to find out whether or not a place can make a sandwich. They cannot. First, the portions are small. Now, I am no big eater. I talk during lunch, mostly. Occasionally I eat. But this sandwich was so small it seemed less like lunch and more like a suggestion of a lunch. A text message about a lunch. A whiff of a lunch. And dry. I have read legal documents with more moisture. The turkey had clearly been through something awful. No amount of mustard was going to be consolation. I asked the staff a question. The response had the warmth of a Brooklyn parking ticket. That is, if the parking ticket also thought you were stupid for parking in Brooklyn in the first place. A sandwich without flavor. Served by people without humor. This is no deli. It is a grim waiting room where they charge you insane amounts of cash for a grim piece of bread and limp meat. Here's the thing: it's a hip little place with fussy graphic design. And hip little places with fussy graphic design should know their limits. The baked goods? Good. Stay there. Live there. Die there, eventually, smothered by all those fluffy, buttery croissants. But that sandwich? It should be retired. Quietly. I wish them well. Having lunch elsewhere. From a distance.
