Still holding its own years later, Fornino is a solid spot for good pizza. Lovely rooftop views in the Brooklyn Bridge Park Waterfront, service was a bit spotty throughout the meal. We both ordered the Mushroom Pizza (personal style with 4 slices) and shared a crisp Romaine Salad. There's a bar on site and while some tables have service, others are designated for ordering yourself at the counter. Still, it's a fun, enjoyable atmosphere to have delicious pizza. I recommend. read more

Been here many times and finally decided to put a review up. Took kid to pier6 playground so what could be better than pizza and salads after waterpark. The pizza here is consistently great. Mushroom pie is delicious, as is classic Margarita. But my fave over dozen visits remains the prosciutto and fig I also love their watermelon feta salad - light, zesty and refreshing - perfect for summer. Lemonade and hibiscus ice tea is a great way to refresh as well read more

We visited Fornino at their Brooklyn Bridge location for Sunday brunch. We love the rooftop atmosphere; there were plenty of umbrellas providing shade for the diners. Service here was prompt; as soon as we were seated, we were given a menu to browse. We started with local Brooklyn draft beer and their famous Anna Rose's meatballs served with bread. We then shared the thin-crust Calabrese pizza, which was delicious and more than enough for two people to share. Both dishes are delicious. It was a lovely afternoon with good food, a gorgeous Manhattan view as our backdrop, and awesome customer service. We will definitely be returning. read more

Service was acceptable-not the most pleasant people. Ambiance is very hip & upbeat. Plenty of space to find seating on the 5th floor of Time Out food hall. Outside view of DUMBO iconic scene is priceless! Food was good, but I've had better pizza on the streets in NY & at Cogino Forno in NC. Their crust was good although the sauce needed some flavor. The meatballs were just okay as well. Honestly, neither were worth the money. read more

Obsessed as per usual! I just visited this spot yesterday, it is a gorgeous location. Great for photographs or just to enjoy the weather with a delicious pizza of your choice. Fornino is my favorite pizza hands-down every time they never miss. I feel like Chef Michael puts so much of himself into the menu in terms of ingredients, selection, and the philosophy behind the dough making, and you could taste that. I ate the entire order. I also ordered their summer pies, one of which was topped with pistachio peaches and pesto. It was like a taste bud celebration. Everything that comes out of that kitchen is gold. read more

I pass by this spot often during my walks, so finally came to check it out. Definitely get a table in the rooftop so you get a view of the city in the background. Once seated, you can scan the QR code to order or go up to the bar as well. The three of us shared the Roast Corn & Coppa ($22) to snack on. The pizza is Neapolitan style, which is light and crispy. The toppings were solid with just a sprinkle of corn. Overall, decent pizza but the food and drinks were a bit pricey. I guess it comes with the view and vibes of this spot. It's a nice spot for a date or groups though as there's lots of picnic tables --perfect spot for a summer day. read more

A 4-star pizza (albeit a pricey one) in 3-star ambiance. This location is in Time Out Market, which, as is expected, gets incredibly crowded and is a nearly impossible place to find seating. The wait for this spot was long and some of the rooftop views were entirely blocked by the long line of people waiting for the bathroom. I enjoyed the corn with hot honey pizza otherwise, and I would certainly consider going to one of Fornino's legit location(s) for a redeeming experience. read more

The food here is frozen and defrosted to order. We ordered the Mac and cheese and it was cold in the middle and a bit sour!!! We did get a refund but it makes me wonder about the other food. The pizza is amazing but we also had a hiccup with the ice cream machine- we were told it was operational and then it wasn't! We were charged already then offered the ice cream Cups in the freezer - yeah those were old as well. It had melted and froze again because the cream separated and there was a thick layer of ice on the bottom. Overpriced and not decent read more

Time Out Market is such a fun and lively place to meet friends in Brooklyn. Here you'll get the most beautiful view of the Brooklyn Bridge, whether you're inside, or outside on their deck. During the day or night time, it's very busy here. My friend and I decided to share a Margarita pizza at Fornino. There is a bit of a wait to place your order, but it is worth the wait! You'll be given a buzzing device while you wait for your pizza. This is also a good time to find a place to sit. The pizza at Fornino is made in a wood fired oven. We waited around 40 minutes for it to be ready. There is just one size, it's about the size of a personal pizza. It is precut into four slices. This is a thin pizza, where the edges have a nice amount of char. There was a nice spreading of red sauce and a pretty generous amount of fresh mozzarella. This was a very delicious pizza! You could taste the smoke from the brick oven. I just wish they offered a bigger option. This pizza was $17. We both really enjoyed it! Delicious pizza, great view, and the New York energy. What more could you want?! read more

I've been here a few times and usually sit on their rooftop (which has really nice views), but when I came here last week Friday, it was closed so we sat on the patio. It was peak baby time so there were A LOT of kids around. The weather was really nice, so I was bummed the rooftop was closed. I ordered the Lambrusco and the Roast Corn & Coppa pizza, but asked them to omit the corn (I didn't like the sound of corn on a pizza!). The pizza and wine were great. I could've used more spice on the pizza, but that's just me. The prices here are reasonable. All in all, it's a great option for when you're in Brooklyn Bridge Park. read more

Stumbled on this pizza spot while looking for a slice in Brooklyn. This spot is inside a really popular food market and they didn't have any slices so we had to order whole pies. The pies were not that big and are perfect for 2. We tried the monzese, which had sausage, and the funghi, a mushroom pie. The wood fired crust is really firm but had a little more charring than expected. The crust held all the toppings and was crunchy and light. The ingredients were good but could have had more to enhance the pizza as a whole. They have other options such as hot dogs, sandos, and salads so you will find something to snack on here. read more

The only bathrooms available are the park bathrooms, which were so unsanitary and smelly that it ruined my appetite. Had the restaurant been responsible for the bathrooms, they would be slapped with a dozen health code violations. If a restaurant wants to charge $20 for a pizza, they should at least provide decent bathrooms. Food and service were pretty good, but there were so many tables packed together that the servers were tripping over patrons and the numerous small hipster children running around the rooftop. read more

Fornino in Brooklyn Bridge Park is such a great location. A rooftop area, a more casual sitting area downstairs where you can bring your pup - they nailed the breezy casual vibe. My friend and i were here for probably 2 or more hours. We started with the Arancini and couldn't stop ordering more food (the arancini here are some of my favorite ever). Downstairs is a slightly different menu than the roof. I got the mango slushy that they were able to spike with vodka (so good) and my friend ordered off their wine menu. We also got the white sangria which was delicious. We also got the watermelon feta salad and sausage pizza. The watermelon salad was a big portion and really refreshing for summer. Fornino's pizzas are very good, especially given the setup of this restaurant. If you're hanging in Brooklyn Bridge Park for the day, this is an idyllic place to enjoy lunch, dinner, or drinks. read more

The main advantage of this pizzeria is its location with a wonderful view. Now about the food. We ordered a Calabrese pizza. The dough was very good, but the ingredients on it were too salty. The size of the pizza is quite small. Rather, it is designed for one person. The price of a pizza of this size is quite expensive. We also ordered beer and sangria. The drinks were good, but the price of sangria was like in an expensive restaurant. The girl who took our order was very nice and attentive. The overall impression of visiting this pizzeria was good. read more

Had our wedding rehearsal dinner here. We reserved the outside upper level for 20 people. They are not open too late so I believe our reservation was for 6-8 pm ish. My side of the family accidentally went to the Greenpoint location, I was worried the staff would be annoyed half our party was late, but they were very nice about it. It's very casual with big picknick tables and umbrellas. Great view of the city too. We ordered pitchers of sangria, which seemed a bit over priced. Then we got a whole bunch of pizzas. The whole family loved them all even with everyone's dietary restrictions. The corn one was the best and the pizzas were priced right. My father-in-law was paying for everything, but they do not have table service, everything needs to be ordered at the counter witch was confusing for an old boomer, so we had to help him every time we wanted to order more. It actually did rain towards the end of our dinner and they really don't have any rain protection. But we were wrapping up anyways at that point. They did have an indoor downstairs, but it's kinda cafeteria style. Overall was a rehearsal dinner success!!! read more

Love the outside seating after being in the splash pad with the kids. And they have alcohol A+ in my mom book lol the employee cleaned as best they could it seems. But if people don't pick up after themselves then a bunch of birds are around the messy tables. Anyway, you order inside then they bring it to you i had no idea. They didn't have the liquor downstairs so after my husband paid he went upstairs kind of like a rooftop he said. I wouldn't know i was stuck downstairs with children . My oldest daughter (11)ordered max and cheese and said it was okay. Me and my husband were going to share the Margherita pizza. It was delicious. My youngest daughter had some and enjoyed it. We were also with a friend's daughter. She ordered the mac and cheese but didn't like it so my husband ate it. We ordered her a hot dog ahead of time didn't like that either said it was hard. I thought she was being a difficult kid but then my husband took a bite and said it definitely was hard and gross. I can't attest to that i didn't try it lol now the margarita was on point . They also had games for the kids to play and we ended the afternoon with some ice cream. Can't wait to go back. Also they also had pitcher's of water. Which was appreciated on a hot day read more

I ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza and I was very disappointed. I initially went because I was craving pizza but it was a huge let down because firstly, the pizza was very burnt despite being thing. The crust tasted very ashy and the center of the pizza was still soggy. Also, they were very cheap with the toppings, only adding a few pieces of figs and prosciutto despite it being a fig and prosciutto pizza. I wasn't even able to taste the fig and the prosciutto was very salty making it very hard to eat. Overall, if you visit Time Out Market I would recommend going to a different restaurant because there were definitely other places that was way better for its value read more

Had a huge team dinner here about two or three Wednesday's ago. It ran for about 2-3 hours and went very smoothly! We used the outdoor area for our group, consisting of: picnic tables, standing tables, high-top tables, umbrellas...everything you could want. We did the food in a catered style. Food and beverage was all actually very good. I have been here on my own in much smaller groups and it was still good. The vibes are really nice and summery. The roof is also really nice especially when the weather is nice. Service was also efficient and I saw no flaws. They were very accommodating with our large group as well. We had to use a microphone for speeches and they helped with all of the technicalities. I would definitely recommend for larger groups. read more

I only mention this because we shared a pizza at Fornino, but if we had only been eating here, we would have each gotten our own pizza. We got the Calabrese pizza and I got a hibiscus lemonade.

It tasted as expected. It was delicious and one almost felt like it wasn't enough. The mushroom pizza had a nice truffle taste to it and the margerita was your classic margherita style.

Fornino is a beautiful spot to stop for lunch or dinner when exploring Brooklyn Heights! The view is a bit obscured due to the volleyball courts nearby, but still great. I believe their seating is only outdoors, so would not suggest coming here in the winter or on a cold day. The location is a walk from the closest subway as well, so make a day of it if you come and walk the Brooklyn bridge piers or to Dumbo. When we went, you ordered off the QR code on the table and someone brought out the food to you. We always like to ask the servers their favorites on the menu before ordering, but it was pretty difficult to stop someone. The food came very quickly. We ordered their watermelon salad and Al Roker Pizza. The watermelon salad was solid, with nice and sweet watermelons but a bit expensive for the quantity given. The Al Roker pizza was good; the roasted pepper flavor comes out well. Their pizzas are individual sized pizzas (or one person would likely eat at least 3 out of 4 of the slices). Overall, their food is good but nothing special. Since there's not too many food options that close to the water, I would certainly suggest this place if you're trying to explore this beautiful area! read more

At Fornino Brooklyn Bridge Park you'll find fantastic views of the city skyline and volleyball courts down below, absolutely delicious wood-fired pizza, and totally spaced out picnic benches in the open air. When the weather's nice, this is quintessential summer vibes in covid times, replete with icy cold palomas and an actual enforcement of mask wearing when ordering or when patrons are away from their own table. This location is very ideal for casual group hangs. You order drinks at the bar and food separately at a different counter. Paying the bill can get tricky with group meals, particularly when certain friends like to throw back a few more drinks than others, but when each person has to open their own individual bar tab splitting the bill is a non issue. I'm that certain friend, btw. They really know how to make great pies here, so if a pie sounds good to you, you're bound to enjoy it. The Melanzane, which has ricotta, basil, eggplant, tomato and parmesan was *chefs kiss* as was the Peaches E Prosciutto. They even had a cheeseless pie for our friend with a dairy allergy that was made delicious by the copious amount of garlic and olive oil on top. The crust is so good here that it carries its weight to make each pie delicious, with cheese or not. Aside from the pizza the smashed potatoes and rice balls were so tasty our small group quickly devoured two orders of each. We ended our meal with a round of paletas, these amazing popsicles they serve from the store La New Yorkina, with flavors like mango chili and horchata. On a hot summer's night we couldn't have asked for a more refreshing way to round out the evening. read more

Great spot to eat pizza with a view but that's about it. I've been to their Greenpoint location before and thought the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, I don't think this location met the same bar of quality. It wasn't bad, but nothing special either. We ordered the Funghi Misti (mushroom truffle) and Margherita Classica. Our pies came in less than 10 minutes. The crust was a bit on the soft side and the Funghi Misti could've used more truffle oil. They accept reservations and will give up your table if you do not arrive within 15 minutes. All staff wore masks; menus and tables were wiped down. To order, you have to go up to the front. Everyone was very understanding and accomodating. If you're looking for a casual place where you can sit down and have a nice meal with a view, this is a great place to consider. If you're a big foodie on a gourmet hunt for the best pie (or something to remind you of the times in Italy), I'd suggest checking the other pizza parlors near DUMBO or Fornino's Greenpoint location on a day where hopefully chef Michael Ayoub is in. read more

Mid-afternoon on a sunny Saturday, this multi-level pizzeria had less people than usual for lunch time. Took the opportunity to get a table for two on their rooftop dining area (with umbrellas for shade). Decided to split the "Al Roker" ($20), with the sopresatta on only one side of the pizza. After a short wait, pizza arrives - crust is thin and cooked well without being burnt. Cheese and sauce is evenly distributed, with the meat balancing out the sweet flavors. To drink, opted for one of their draft beers ($7), though the cocktails looked very intriguing. Service is abound and they do accommodate deviations from the pizza toppings. Aside from pizza, there are sandwiches and hot dogs as well, so there should be something for everyone. read more

The tables are not on top of each other and the noise is lively, but manageable. The food came out in a reasonable time, the bread was good. The hostess was disappointing. She acknowledged walk-in parties and later reservations of the same size that came in the door after us, lining up behind us. We had a reservation for 4. We arrived on time. This happened not once, not twice, but four times, the hostess looking past us to talk to people inline behind us or next to us, as if we were invisible. It wasn't until the 5th white couple she attempted to assist told her flat out that we were waiting before them, and the others she helped. I was looking for the owner or manager but thanks to this kind couple, that wasn't needed. Their blunt comments maybe embarrassed the hostess because only then did the hostess look at me rather than past me, and ask "how many..." she was ready to tell us there was no availability when I answered that we were a party of four as she looked around the dining room and gestured as if to say 'no seats'. I added that we had a reservation for 10 minutes ago. She asked my name and checked her tablet, then said "ok" and sat us at the table by the door. Once we were seated and situated, my young daughter looked up from her menu and asked me why was everybody else helped before us? She honestly didn't know. For those not familiar with having these types of conversations, let's just say that they can make even the best tasting pasta and pizza unsavory if you dwell on it. It's bad when a 7 year old notices they were "othered". Your mileage may vary, I'm sure there is more than one hostess working. I don't think I would recommend Barbalu to everybody unless you're getting take out, or you don't mind a "fight" to get service, assuming you insisted on eating here.

Ammazzacaffe is truly one of the better Italian restaurants and a hidden gem…read more My take? To preface, I'm not a big fan of Torrisi (overhyped and too many flavors being mixed), Misi went down the Carbone route and has gone downhill in the past 1-2 years, and Rezdora was really delicious, but they skimp on portions. L'artusi also in my opinion is decent, but doesn't have the wow factor to make me come back. I also tend to lean more toward authentic Italian tastes with less salt and el dente pasta (Alfredo also doesn't exist in Italy...) So, really, Ammazzacafe executed well in regard to portions and being generous. Their sauce with pastas was well seasoned, flavorful, and their pasta perfectly el dente with quality pasta. So far for Italian food, I recommend Don Angie, a Pasta Eater, Piccolo Cucina, a Pasta Bar, Rezdora, Forma Pasta, and Ammazzacaffe. Definitely will return to Ammazzacaffe - there's also a deli/coffee shop/bodega near Frost Street as their sister establishment in East Williamsburg by the way!

We came on a Sunday night for dinner and they had two jazz musicians playing in the corner. Super cool vibe, nice interior, and good service. I got the Pesce dish and it was really good. I was debating on getting the chicken parmageddon which is their Sunday night specialty but will probably try it next time. I will say, the jazz music got a little bit loud at times, so they either need to turn it down a little bit or you can ask to be seated in the back. They've also got a really cute outdoor patio in the back that I wanna check out next time.

Came here for Christmas dinner on Thursday. I searched for a restaurant semi-close to me that had…read moregreat reviews and was Italian. This was high up on my search, and with reviews like what they have, we decided to give them a shot. Its very easy to get to with a decent amount of street parking. Seems a bit out of place next to a deli on a residential block. You can kind of miss it if youre not paying attention. We were a party of 6 and had a 5 PM reservation. You have to pass through this dark curtain and go to the middle of the bar where the host will greet you and bring you to your seats. We were seated promptly with no wait. The restaurant is VERY small. So much so that at our table, all I had to do was reach my hand out and I would have been touching the kitchen counter. It does get a little crammed/crowded, but not in an annoying or unbearable kind of way. The vibe is actually really cozy and rustic. Very dim lighting so either whip out the flashlight on your phone or hold up one of the real candles they have on the table to read the menu. The food menu is straightforward and simple. They have an extensive wine list. I love how on the food menu, next to each dish, they tell you the region of Italy that dish gets its roots from. They have lovely dinnerware here. They brought out a foccacia bread for the table with a tomato dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious foccacia. The sauce was a tad too salty for me. I started off with the mocktail Luisa. It was passion fruit, lemon, agave, ginger beer, and mint. It was $10 and very fresh and mouthwatering! For my appetizer I had the Calamari alla griglia. Grilled calamari with guacamole and carasau bread. I've never had grilled calamari before. Only either marinara or fried. I also thought pairing it with guacamole was an interesting twist. I was so pleasantly surprised by this dish. The calamari were perfectly fork tender grilled. The guacamole went well with it. The carasau bread was more like a tortilla chip. They give you a decent amount for $24.95. That app slid down my throat effortlessly! For my entree I had the Maccheroncini alla Norma. Maccheroni with eggplant in tomato sauce with ricotta cheese. The pasta was so fresh and perfectly cooked. The sauce reminded me so much of my Calabrian grandmother's. The ricotta made it rich and creamy. Filling as well. So much so that, even though it wasn't a huge portion, I had to take home half of it because I was verging on being stuffed! My mother had the Cotoletta alla milanese. Keep in mind that if you get this chicken cutlet dish that it serves about four people, even though its for 1! HUGE portion. About 4 enormous cutlets that gave my mom 3 days of leftovers! All of the desserts were $12.95. A nice selection to choose from, but I had the classic Tiramisu. They make it here tableside. He made it with such care. Loved watching him put it all together. Let me tell you, that was the BEST Tiramisu that I've EVER had! Wow, just amazing. Very balanced, quality ingredients. The marscapone was so decadent, creamy and fresh. I could have easily taken down 2 of them! I tried some of my mother's chocolate cake. Delicious and decadent. Service throughout our dinner was above and beyond. Attentive, kind, concise and our waiter was such a cutie! Smooth sailing throughout the entire meal. We barely had to wait for anything. Amazing restaurant and staff. Prices are just fine and the quality goes way beyond. Can't wait to come back. Highly impressed and recommend!

This place does get busy so recommend making reservations if you can. They have a pretty nice wine list to choose from along with different cocktail options. From the start, the food was delicious starting with the house bread which was warm and soft but still felt light. For dinner, I ordered the special for the night which was cacio pepe ravioli, while my husband got the tagliatelle verdi con ragu. Both of our pasta dishes felt extremely fresh. The ravioli was unlike anything Ive had before, with flavorful cacio pepe filling and a butter sauce with pancetta complementing the flavor. The tagliatelle was also delicious in a more ragu centric way, still offering a good balance of flavor. Both dishes were pretty filling and so neither of us could finish it. We ended the night with cannolis, which was a pleasant surprise to find 3 came in 1 order. One side is pistachio while the other had a coco dusting. These were again delicious but pretty filling and sweet so we could only eat one. The staff here was also very friendly and service was quick with food coming out much faster than I expected. Overall I would come back and try even more on their menu.

I ordered the Portia cocktail... if you like Mezcal, you should definitely try this one. Smoky and a little sweet, it was a delicious drink We order Pinsa Bianca for appetizers, the bread, roasted peppers and whipped ricotta all made for a light but delish start. We then dove into the rib-eye (for 2) DELICIOUS ! One of the best steaks outside of a steakhouse I have had. The marbling gave it great flavor, salted well and the perfect char on the outside, it was accompanied by French fries and broccolini. All a great addition; The broccolini was surprisingly not too bitter which was nice. To round it off we ordered their version of a Lemon tart! It was the perfect level of sweet and tart!

All were excellent. The carbonara could have used a bit of pepper and a bit more pecorino. Guanciale? Or bacon? Also had the scallops which we loved. I ordered a Bellini but it was not a Bellini. No peach. Just a cherry - odd. The Lemon scone was the best we have had - served with cream and lemon curd. Amazing The Carmel custard dessert - was rich but a bit one note. It did come with a crunchy buttery cookie. The ice creams were homemade. The restaurants is lovely. Food wonderful. Service friendly and quick. But it is so loud you are literally yelling at your companions. Maybe they could turn down the music ? Regardless. We love this place!

There's valet parking so you don't have to stress about finding street parking nearby. We ordered fried calamari, baked clams, baked vodka penne, and the Fisherman's Platter. We were served bread and some antipasto to start. The calamari was a classic and I loved the sauce -- it had a good spicy kick to it. The baked clams were okay. The Fisherman's Platter is a must and good value with its generous portion of seafood. It can definitely be shared amongst two people. The baked vodka penne was also good but portion was on the smaller side. I would say Michael's is a must try at least once.

With today's social media heavy and influencer dominated marketing, this restaurant sits on a quiet street in Brooklyn just going about its business. Known as an Italian red sauce shop that served all walks of life, including possibly the mafia, this place has seen it all. If only the walls can talk, I could imagine all the stories it holds. Our friendly waiter has been there for 20+ years and shared some of his experiences and memories. It was a nice bonus to our meal for four. For appetizers, we had some Clams Oreganata (8/10), Fried Calamari (8/10), and Roasted Peppers w/ Anchovies (8/10). I would say that these three starters were the highlights of the meal. The entrees were not bad, just not as outstanding as their appetizer counterparts. My favorite of the bunch was the Eggplant Parmigiana (8/10), which was delicious and well made. The other three items, Pork Chop alla Bamonte's (6/10), Ravioli w/ Meat Sauce (7/10), and Rigatoni w/ Sausage & Broccoli Rabe (7/10), were all decent, but nothing special. By the end of the meal, four of us all agreed that it was a fun experience. With all the great options for Italian cuisine in NYC, it's not somewhere that stands out enough for regular visits. However, I would stop by if I was in the neighborhood.

I think the only way to really express how great the food here is would be to simply say that you…read moreshould try it for yourself. Make a pact with yourself that before you die you experience culinary paradise. Maybe it's laying it on thick for some of you but my dish of veal scarpariello was the best thing I've ever had at any Italian restaurant ever. Nor do I think that is an exaggeration at all. The veal was thin enough and with an equally thin layer of eggplant and mozzarella covering it and emerssed in a white wine sauce I couldn't decide what part was my favorite. I still can't decide but I will say I must go back and try it again. I thought that the dish looked small but I couldn't even finish half of it pan my own even though it was compelling me to devour the entire thing! Truly, don't even think of going without trying that dish for yourself. The staff was some of the most attentive I've ever come across. We had fresh plates and silverware after every course. We didn't need to look for a waiter at all for they were there seeing to our every need. And the patrons all looked like they were enjoying a special night out because this is truly a special place. Great food, great atmosphere and a wonderful night out!
