Delicious Roman Pizza and simple rustic dishes. Nothing to complain about. This place respects their ingredients and it shows.

What a fabulous dining experience - small, classy place with great food/drinks. I would recommend.

Came in for a Margherita pizza it came out quick. Staff is very sweet and professional. Quickly taking our plates away as soon as we were done. Let us know right before the food came out so we could clear the table. Overall a good cozy place for some great pizza. read more

Camillo - Margherita Pinsa - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Camillo's staff was welcoming, and the space was really nicely designed. We ordered the olive miste as an appetizer-- delicious!! Their main courses were just fine in terms of taste. The price however was way too steep, especially for the pasta. When I pay $15 for pasta, I want my fill's worth -- I don't want to have to stop for a snack on the way home. All that said, my partner enjoyed the margherita pizza, and said he felt full. read more

Talk about a restaurant being a welcome addition to the neighborhood! I was so glad to hear of an Italian restaurant that was reasonably priced in the area. Camillo makes their own pasta and it is really good. The dishes are simple but the flavors are complex, if that makes any sense. My faves are the Coda alla Vaccinara (Fresh pappardelle pasta, oxtail braised with celery, tomatoes, garlic & cloves) and the Cannelloni (Roasted lamb, artichokes, besciamella & parmigiano rolled into fresh pasta sheets & baked). The prices are super reasonable at $14 and $16, respectively. They have Cacio e Pepe where they put your steaming hot noodles into a wheel of cheese. It is good, but I do think it is more of a gimmick than anything. Try it once, then move on to the even better things on the menu. The pizza is great too, but I love the pasta so much that I always want to spend my stomach space on the noodle dishes. This is becoming a regular rotation on my restaurant rotation, and I love coming for a carafe of wine and some nice pasta any day of the week. read more

Best pizza alla "pensa" in NYC!!! Many kind of Negroni cocktails. Must visit!!! Friendly owner. read more

Wow, I knew this place was going to be great just based on friends' reviews but it is truly a delight to form your own positive opinion of a new neighborhood favorite. First off, the waitstaff is so friendly and pleasant - it's not often that you can say a place makes you feel at home, but Camillo definitely does and in large part because of the service. I like the space a lot, too. Open tables and a nice airy bar with outdoor seating! Also, their bathrooms are incredibly clean. Yes, I am that Yelp reviewer who always talks about bathrooms but it's important, okay?! I loved the gnocchi (unbelievably soft, hit the spot like you wouldn't believe) without meat and the Camillo punch (fresh, packed an alcoholic punch I wasn't expecting because it was freaking delicious). The olive oil cake was transcendent. I mean, honestly, I felt transported to a higher plane of existence. I can't wait to come back to this place! It's the perfect place to unwind after a long work day. read more

Fancy spot in the neighborhood - although I've lived close by for years, I've only recently tried this place. Ambience was nice and food was decent. Would come again. read more

Every time I dine at Camillo I feel like I've walked into this cool, jazzy family lime (lime is Bajan for social gathering). Love the fact that it's a restaurant that attracts families with their kids yet I still can have an intimate date or dinner with a friend. Best staff experience for me so far at any restaurant in a while. Friendly, accommodating, helpful. I love great customer service. Camillo's staff never disappoints. I'll return with some friends soon. read more

My family and I came here to celebrate my dad's birthday and we left feeling full, jovial, and totally planning our next trip back. We do not mess around when it comes to eating so we pretty much ordered 95% of the menu. We started with the chicken liver mousse crostini, baby octopus, mozzarella di Bufala, porchetta, and focaccia w/ butter + anchovies. I need to note that everything we got came with an incredible brioche type bread that was perfect for dipping and soaking. The octopus was extremely tender, like you could cut it with a fork level tender. After we finished the octopus we used the bread to mop up all remaining evidence of tomato sauce, and contemplated ordering just a bowl of it on the side (we didn't...this time). The chicken liver mouse was light and airy but rich in flavor and paired perfectly with the vinsanto jelly. The mozzarella di Bufala was similar in texture to burrata, aka creamy and luscious. I wish the tomatoes were maybe roasted for just a tad longer but that's the dumbest and most insignificant of complaints I had the entire dinner. I know some people are weird with anchovies but I am not soooooo we ended up ordering a second round of foccacia w/ anchovies. I can't stress this enough, THEY WERE OUT OF CONTROL DELICIOUS. Just little morsels of salty, buttery goodness. I miss them. Onto the pizza. We got classic Margherita, not so classic Tartufo, and to top it off we got the Acciughe which also comes with anchovies.. My favorite was definitely the Tartufo, which came with asparagus, mozzarella and black truffle oil and shavings. It was was a perfect harmony of flavors, and the black truffle was an excellent addition with out over powering the other ingredients. The Margherita was just textbook perfect. The sauce was simple and you tasted the sweetness of the tomatoes, the saltiness of the cheese, and finished with the pop of brightness from the basil. The crust had a good nice crunchy exterior and perfect chewy interior. I'd build a very delicious house from it if I could. Then we ordered some pasta. The Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, and the Cannelloni. The Cacio e Pepe was finished table side inside a giant ass wheel of Parmesan. It was a great share with the table, every twirl of the form had the perfect zest of pepper on it and cheese. The Carbonara was delicious as well but the real MVP in my eyes was the Cannelloni. It was stuffed with roasted lamb, artichokes and baked in a delicious creamy bechamel sauce and topped with cheese. Holy Crap. The nutmeg in the sauce put the whole dish just over the edge for me. This is a rich dish don't get me wrong, but god damn will you sleep like a baby after eating it. Order it, share it, and I promise you will not regret it...like pinky promise. Oh you thought we were done. Nope. We also ordered the goat. Oh you never had goat before? Come here and let them pop your goat cherry it will be an experience you won't forget. It was tender AF, gamy, and succulent just how goat should always taste. Served with rosemary potatoes and wilted chicory (prolly the only healthy thing i put into my body all night). We ordered dessert too cause you know, why the hell not. Panna Cotta with honey and mint and a sumptuous pistachio olive oil cake to end the madness that was dinner. Everyone who worked there was so friendly, hospitable, and generous with their time and suggestions. 7 Russians at one table is a lot so i thank them for their patience. read more

Camillo - Focaccia w/ butter + anchovy. - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is not JUST great pizza! This is the best pizza I have EVER had!!!! We ordered three pizzas for takeout and sat down to lose our minds. Seriously! It's that good. Get the Romana and the one with Broccoli Rabe (sorry can't remember the exact name). You are welcome. To the chef: You are a genius and I thank you read more

This place nice . We asked waiter to suggest us something with meat and he told us about this pie which actually had fish on it . Maybe some people enjoy pizza with fish but we didn't . At the end we ordered to go different type of pizza but still didn't end up as good. For some reason their pizza has a lot of salt. However pasta was a good choice . Wine was alright. read more

Ordered food from here last night the food came quickly but that was like the only good thing about it. The Margarita Pinsa was really subpar the sauce tasted like ketchup. The Pappardelle was oily flavorless. just very oily. The carbonara also was just disgusting again just oily no seasoning not even a hint of salt and pepper. The pasta was over cooked it was really bad. I ended up not being able to eat any of my food i was so disappointed after hearing such good reviews. I ended up just spending more money and ordering food from somewhere else. read more

Nice, affordable Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. Glad I was able to go when this place first opened. The food is very fresh and has a northern Italian influence. I loved the pizza I ate. The cheese was extremely fresh and the tomato sauce was light and refreshing. I'll be back in the future. read more

I've only been in Brooklyn for a month and a half and I've already eaten at this amazing restaurant four times. From the lasagna to the pinsa to the gracious proprietors, I've loved everything about this place! read more

This place is lovely and everyone makes you feel at home when you step in. I randomly decided to stop in here on a Monday on my way home. I'd been eyeing this place through taxi and bus windows for some time now. The beautiful printed sign on the door. The warm, inviting lighting on the inside. But it never seemed like the right time. But tonight felt perfect. It was a larger space than I had expected. I wasn't hungry so I had a glass of wine. I also had the pistachio olive oil cake which was moist, decadent and rich. It came with Nutella ice cream which I wasn't a fan of. The menu says it comes with vanilla ice cream but I guess they substituted. I hate nutella so I left the ice cream untouched. I will definitely try the Panna Cotta next time. Anyway, it was comfortable. I can't wait to go back and have their pinsa. I also want to try some of their pasta dishes. They incorporate oxtail and goat which is amazing. These are the types of flavors and proteins I grew up on in my West Indian household so I love how this place embraces that and incorporates that into their Italian dishes. Definitely a place to go with a friend, a date, a group of people or just a lone dinner. It makes you feel at home. read more

The first thing I want to state is that I felt a little bit uncomfortable being a patron just because on the surface it seems to shout gentrification. I hope as time goes by, its variety in patrons does too. I only think this observation is worth noting and mentioning because it does not at all represent the diversity in our neighborhood. (Nonetheless, I'm not blaming the restaurant for the existence of gentrification. Just saying.) Also, I am an early eater - upon arrival at 6.20, we had no problem finding a table but upon leaving at 7.20, all tables were full. Anyways.. I was somewhat disappointed(or more accurately, maybe more like surprised) by their menu but I must say that it's due to the fact that I personally am not an adventurous eater. The menu did not include any of the "safe," (popularly Amzericanized), and/or traditional dishes as much as I wish it had. Some people may love the fact that its inventive and unique but I wished there were a few more options that I was familiar with. Menu was broken up into a variety of pizzas, a variety of pastas, and 3 miscellaneous entrees. The two I remember were a goat dish and a seabream. There is no chicken or salmon on this menu. As for desert, I was disappointed that there was no creme brulee (i know it's not an Italian dish but so many other similar-like restaurants serve it) and I'm not surprised but for my coffee they only had whole milk (personal pet peeve!!). The restaurant had a great variety of wines and also Liquors. I had a margarita with salt which was tasty. My date and I ordered two rather basic items and shared them both. One was gnocchi and one should note that it was not a typical gnocci.. The server alerted us to that before we ordered it which I greatly appreciated. By the way, it was very tasty and had a polenta like flavor. The servers were knowledgeable, polite, and attentive. We ordered two desserts and one stood out as excellent! And unique..... profiteroles which is fancy wording for two fancy creme puffs :) Although my review sounds a bit nit-picky, I was aware that it was due to my own personal tastes and preferences.. Thus, I'm not holding this against the restaurants rating! Lastly, I didnt expect or look into it ahead of time, but I wasnt expecting how pricey the dishes were. It's a bit out of my price range so that would keep me from returning. Otherwise, I would likely return! read more

Excellent restaurant far from my own neighborhood. A friend told us about it and I'm glad we made the trip. What a surprise!!! Stylish Italian with super hip interior, nice bar and excellent food and wine!!!! Super sexy waiters. Where did they find these cute guys? Straight from Sicily I would assume... not really any vegan choices on the menu but the staff was super accommodating and I ordered the most delicious vegetarian pizza without cheese. Super thin slices of veggies and herbs. It was amazing. I'll be back for sure. Rose wine was perfectly chilled and my friends red Nebbiolo was at perfect temperature as well . Yummmm read more

Really great customer service and food!!!!!!! and the ambiance is perfect as well!!!!

Serious cocktails. Terrific pasta. We've been to this newcomer in the neighborhood twice since they opened this beautiful place, and walked out happy each time. Service was excellent, although I think the kitchen was a little overwhelmed on our second visit - the restaurant was packed and we had to wait a bit for our food, but our lovely server was attentive and made sure we weren't neglected. I would encourage reservations, although there's also a lovely bar with lots of seating. The noise can get a bit much when the place is full, so it just means I won't bring my 90 year old grandma! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Amazing food and the staff are great. Love their wine selection on tap!

Awesome pizza with a flavor that is superior.sets No complaints here, just wish the pizza was larger.

I usually avoid going to a new restaurant in its first week, or so, of operation, but my wife and I made an exception and visited this new place, a block from our home, on its opening night and are glad that we did. The place is wonderful-physically beautiful, service that is both professional and terrific food. We split a truffle "pinsa" (a Roman-style pizza) as an appetizer, a fig salad, and spaghetti carbonara [which, unlike a couple of later reviewers, I thought was pretty near perfect]. For desert we had olive oil cake. I like that they have wine on tap and the house red is both inexpensive and very good. We'll be back-I suspect frequently. read more

On today my friend and I attend Camillo in hopes to grab a good warm meal but instead we were greeted by a bartender who didn't seem to happy by our appearance. Instead of going with my first mind we assumed that the bartender was a little overwhelmed and continued to enjoy our night.Before ordering our meal the bartender aggressively greeted us to take our order.He immediately assumed that my friend was unable to afford her drink of choice. I placed my drink order and was unhappy with the mix drink. I politely informed the bartender that I would like to return my drink he responded that he would not continue to make me drinks and have me send them back although that was the first drink I order. He waited a total of 20 mins before taking our food order. In addition to treating women of color poorly he proceed to happy greet everyone at the bar who so happen to be non people of color. This is not a safe space for African American and I would not recommend the food is unseasoned and so is there service ! read more

Camillo - Bar area - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Been here many times. Really great cocktails. Love the mezcal Negroni and pizzas are always cooked perfectly.

Delicious food in beautiful atmosphere where they never rush you. Get the cacio e pepe!

After ordering takeout when this restaurant first opened up, I finally tried dinning in. They told us an hour wait, so we sat at the bar to wait, but then the host/slash waiter brought us plates and napkins, so we stayed at the bar. (I do wish we had been asked if we wanted to stay and eat at the bar.) The neighborhood was due for this type of restaurant. The ambiance at the bar was nice, but the food was just okay, and we were also rushed out--the bartender gave us our check without us asking, and I had not even finished my second glass of wine. Like any new place, this restaurant still has a few quirks to workout with their food, as well as service. I still do recommend trying the bar scene. The lighting is great. read more

Vacationing in NY and wanted to try some good Italian food to make up for our last poor choice. This one was on the way back to our hotel. We didn't have a reservation but decided to see if they will accept walk-ins. Luckily, we were able to get a table. It is a small but cute restaurant. We ordered the Insalata Mista (mixed greens salad), Bufala & Proscriutto pizza, and Coda alla Vaccinara (oxtail pappardelle). We were delightfully surprised after having our first bite of the salad and equally happy with the rest of the meal. The food was very fresh and not overly dressed but the flavors were amazing. We even entertained about having a second meal there before flying home. Well recommended. read more

If I could eat here every night, I would. The carbonara is the best I've ever had, and those fried artichokes are perfection. The bartender and waiter are very friendly and welcoming. It's a wonderful spot in the neighborhood for authentic Roman food. I've tried nearly everything on the menu. Even the goat was delicious. Salads are big enough to share and the pinsa pizza are light and crispy. Sitting at the bar is my favorite spot. Look forward to my next meal there! read more

Very good pizza and great service! We loved it! We had several different pizzas and drinks and doggie bags to go.

This is a cute neighborhood restaurant with good food. I had the homemade black spaghetti with crab meat. Good amount of crab meat and delicious fresh pasta. There is a bit of a kick, but I did not mind it. Two of the girls had the duck with homemade fettuccine which is also very good. Tip: Do not skip the bread. It is freshly made and soooo tasty skip the little cup of cold tomato sauce and just use oil with some salt. read more
