Still holding its own years later, Fornino is a solid spot for good pizza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lovely rooftop views in the Brooklyn Bridge Park Waterfront, service was a bit spotty throughout the meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still, it's a fun, enjoyable atmosphere to have delicious pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love the rooftop atmosphere; there were plenty of umbrellas providing shade for the diners.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a lovely afternoon with good food, a gorgeous Manhattan view as our backdrop, and awesome customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be returning. read more

Obsessed as per usual! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely get a table in the rooftop so you get a view of the city in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I guess it comes with the view and vibes of this spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice spot for a date or groups though as there's lots of picnic tables --perfect spot for a summer day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 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.

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

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

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 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

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

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Had our wedding rehearsal dinner here. We reserved the outside upper level for 20 people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very casual with big picknick tables and umbrellas. Great view of the city too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered pitchers of sangria, which seemed a bit over priced.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It actually did rain towards the end of our dinner and they really don't have any rain protection.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But we were wrapping up anyways at that point.

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

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

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. I would absolutely get this again the next time I'm at time out market in Dumbo. By far one of my favorite restaurant in this food hall. 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

We came here after a World Cup match between England and Norway. Of course, England won, and we were festive. We were slightly late to our reservation without any problem. We were promptly seated, and to our surprise, the restaurant was actually bigger than how it looks from outside. We started with fried calamari and shrimp with marinara sauce and a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. For the main entree, I selected traditional lasagna verde with three meat Ragù and Bechamel, while my partner chose homemade fettuccine al Ragù with pork and beef. We had a wonderful dinner here. The food was all delicious and came in timely fashion. We will definitely come back here to try the other dishes on their menu.

He did not miss a beat and if anything slipped past him, it was swiftly corrected. And lastly, to the chef! Thank you for your culinary creativity shown in each specially crafted dish. Starters: Fried calamari and shrimp- this was a good start although missing a little flavor to the batter but it was good nonetheless. Whipped burrata-this was delicious but it could have been even better with some more of the delicious house bread that we were offered upon arrival. Drinks: Balsamic peach spritz (not pictured) the graduate's favorite drink of the day! She raved about it the entire time. Aperol spritz- very refreshing with a beautiful citrus twist! I loved it. Old fashioned- my boyfriend throughly enjoyed this classic drink. Entrees: Oven roasted branzino- AMAZING! The cook on the branzino was perfect and the broccolini and mini carrots added a beautiful crunch to my experience. I could have taken another order to go. My boyfriend had the house ravioli which was salmon and after taking one bite, I can attest that it was INCREDIBLY delicious! Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their meals: Ribeye steak Lamb chops with spinach mashed potatoes Lamb chops with roasted potatoes Roasted Chicken Rustichella We ended the celebration with dessert: Olive oil cake- not too sweet and fluffy. Tiramisu- sinfully good! Overall, we had an incredible dining experience and would highly recommend it.

The sunchokes and apples are tossed in a creamy and slightly herbal dressing. Burrata - really great. The eggplant base is richly spiced and tart to complement the rich and creamy burrata. Gemelli - disappointing, and the only vegetarian option. The goat cheese totally overwhelms the dish, so you can't taste the pesto at all. The texture on the noodles was perfect at least. Passion project - delicious drink with notes of passion fruit, chocolate, and some spices. The others in my group also had the duck (which they found to be a bit overly loaded with duck fat) and the reginette (which they enjoyed). I'd love to see a more balanced vegetarian main course make it on the menu sometime. The bill for 4 people came to nearly $230 after tax and tip.

The room is small and romantic, homemade pasta hangs in the front window, and the whole evening felt less like dining out and more like being invited into someone's family table in Florence. We started with the fritto misto, a well executed mix of fried fish and vegetables, alongside an insalata caprese that let fresh tomatoes, burrata and basil speak for themselves. From there we went family style, which is really the only way to do it here. The bucatini cacio e pepe was as much performance as dish, mixed tableside directly in the cheese wheel. The fusilloni di Gragnano from Puglia paired scampi with burrata, cherry tomatoes and arugula for a bright, briny plate, while the tagliatelle verdi brought a rich wild boar ragu finished with fresh black truffle. The two standouts, though, were the agnolotti ossobuco with veal sauce and pecorino fondue rounded out with thyme and lemon, and the lasagna Bolognese. That lasagna, layered with meat ragu, tomato and bechamel, may be the best I have ever had. We paired the meal with a bottle of Salvioni 2022 Rosso di Montalcino, aromatic and beautifully matched to the food. The space is cozy and intimate rather than sprawling, so a reservation is a smart call. Everything else, from the food to the atmosphere to the sense that someone's nonna was cooking just for us, made this one of the most memorable meals in NYC. We would return without hesitation.

Note: reservations are not required but definitely suggested!! This place was packed. Every table sat, but a few chairs at the bar. I give this place 5 stars, EVERYTHING was lovely! The dim lights, (I love a dark and moody restaurant) noise level, talk-able but good music in the background, food, drinks, service.... all of it TOP NOTCH. Let's get into the deets.... 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!

For my entrée, I had the grilled pork chops, which were cooked perfectly. The pistachio gremolata added a unique burst of flavor that really elevated the dish. My friends ordered a variety of pasta dishes, which I tried and tasted good, and everyone enjoyed their meals. We ended with dessert and tried both the traditional tiramisu, which was very good, and the budino--a butterscotch pudding with pistachio gelato--which completely stole the show. It was absolutely amazing. Overall, a great dining experience, and I'd definitely return.

The interior looks like a classic Italian restaurant and service is very formal. It was quite busy for a weekday night. 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.

Love their bread platter and decor.

It was our first time trying the lobster dish - delicious and fresh. The baked dish tasted too burnt.

Seats at max 10 maybe less. Being a single person, it was hard to seat me. But they sat me at a table of 4 and told me if the two seater opens up they'll move me. They were very transparent which I loved. When a couple came, they said they're seating with me and I was fine with it. No complaints. The artichokes were just okay, but the lobster ravioli was delicious. My only point or two off is when they asked for water they didn't give any options. So with the question I said still water. They served it and it was sparkling. I should have said something but I chickened out. And then! I realize everyone around me is drinking tap water! I didn't know that was an option wish that was clear. Will definitely come back when I'm craving lobster ravioli.

I can't say enough great things about the decor the ambience and imagining all of the past goings on in this restaurant. It's been watching over Brooklyn for well over 100 years now! That in itself is a Herculean feat! From what I was told it was very popular with the mob as they say... And that's why the kitchen which is at the very back of the restaurant has full glass windows so that you can see exactly what's going on in there. I guess some of these mob guys were paranoid and rightly so consider considering their history. I arrived with my friend on a Wednesday evening about 6 PM and there were some scattered tables but by 7 PM it was mobbed (pun intended ) in there!! our waiter was affable and patient and a quite enjoyable fellow. As a sidenote, you will not find any female servers they are all male which l lends to the old school vibe in my opinion. My friend ordered the lamb chops with broccoli Rabe. He enjoyed them but did mention that though they had great flavor one of them was slightly tough... It happens... My meal was pasta with Bolognese sauce with a dollop of fresh ricotta on top. It was delicious actually the sauce was excellent. I would've liked to have a different pasta shape but they did not have it. No biggie. I could really say the food was very good but it was not excellent but for me that was not an issue as I fell in love with the place itself. The service was excellent and the ambience was fantastic! I would definitely return again and I highly recommend it if you have never been you must at least go one time!!

I completely understand that there were customers waiting behind me and that the staff needs to keep the line moving. However, I believe every customer deserves to be treated with patience and respect. If I am spending over $120 on your products, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect five minutes of patience while I carefully choose my order. I truly love this bakery and will continue recommending it because the quality of the bread is exceptional. I only hope the customer service can better reflect the quality of the products. A little more patience and kindness would make the experience just as memorable as the bread itself.

We kicked things off with a round of handrolls--salmon avocado, spicy salmon, and yellowtail--which were perfectly crisp and packed with fresh fish. I went all in on the Salmon Lovers set, and it was an absolute dream. It came with a massive, beautiful spread of salmon sushi, seven thick pieces of melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, a salmon avocado roll, a bright kani salad, and a really savory piece of grilled salmon. We also shared the Ysukiji sushi platter, which featured a gorgeous, high-quality assortment of cuts, while the Smoked Chicken bento box was a huge hit, offering fantastic cooked flavors and generous portions. The room we were in mimicked a traditional Japanese room where everyone had to sit on the floor and put their legs under the table.
