    Margherita Pizza
    Attosa C.

    Popped by on the way home spontaneously without looking at reviews- why not? Slightly busy around 6pm on a Tuesday, but was served promptly. Got three slices: sausage, cheese, and Margherita. Loved how every inch of the sausage slice was covered in meat. They were all pretty good but not mind-blowing. Definitely hit them with salt/garlic/cheese/pepper at the counter. Three slices and two medium seltzer bottles was $20, so well priced.

    Pesto pasta

    The food was amazing: we started with the "burrata explosion," which did not disappoint. Every dish that followed was amazing. Service was top notch. Chill cool environment. Great experience.

    What an excellent restaurant! We were in town for the weekend for the Brooklyn Half and we were in need of some pre race carbs. We had 6 people and we wait about 30 minutes for a table on a busy Friday but luckily we were able to wait at the bar. The servers were great and the menu was quite big I ended up going with the margherita pizza (small) and it was delicious! I had some leftovers to take home which was even better. A classic that they did great. We all enjoyed our food and would recommend

    Il Porto is a great pick for Italian food. I have had a few items from their menu throughout the years and they have not disappointed. Their pizza is delicious. Beautiful presentation. Their calamari is nicely fried. The mussels are fresh and tasty. I recommend the lemon and garlic sauce...wow..so delicious, and enough for 2 to share. Also nice to dip the bread in (I love restaurants that start you off with a little bread..lol). And their tiramisu with a scoop of gelato was good. I wish the Sauvignon Blanc was a little colder/ more chilled, but that's just a preference so it doesn't really affect my rating for them. The service was good. Our waitress was super nice, friendly and accommodating. They weren't pushy, they came and checked on our table periodically. The service made the experience even better. The ambiance is nice, quiet with beautiful music in the background. A nice Brooklyn Brunch type of vibe...super enjoyable and nice setting. I recommend this to groups, date nights and it looks like they have a happy hour Mon-Fri...sooo you know what that means....just put ice cubes in your wine...lol jk. Totally recommend.

    a pizza with pepperoni and spinach

    Stumbled into this gem. They had live music going and great spirits among the staff. We sat down at the bar hungry for food and drinks hahaha Pizza was top tier and also (not featured) the Caesar salad was very very tasty. The bartender also made us the strongest margarita ever and I was not mad about it. Although I feel like my time here was short I look forward to tying out more of their menu options.

    Brooklyn Pizza

    I was craving pizza on a rainy day and decided to order from il Porto. I opted for the Brooklyn style pie (basically chicken parm in pizza form) which was really yummy - I love how thin but crispy the crust was. The ingredients all seemed really fresh too. In my opinion, they're one of the best spots to grab pizza in the area. Their pastas are also great. My personal fave is their spaghetti bella donna - which is a light mix of tomatoes, olives, garlic, & olive oil tossed with fresh pasta. They definitely have lots of options on the menu & the portions are generous too. Cannot recommend enough!

    Solid slice. The staff & owner(s) are friendly & sure know how to make a mean grandma pie! Love this place!

    Delivered to our rooftop vineyard table!
    Amanda G.

    This pizza hit the spot! My friends and I visited Rooftop Reds for my gf's bachelorette night out. We were famished after visiting a massage spa and the vineyard was our next stop. Our pizza arrived fairly quickly and was warm and packaged well. They brought our food right to our table which was great. It was a limited menu but the food was great and kept us satisfied until later that night when we went to dinner in the city. I'm very happy they collab with surrounding businesses that may not offer food. The pizza makes me want to try them out and see what other items are on the menu.

    AMAZING!!! I had a sausage and pepper roll, and it was INCREDIBLE! I was lucky the pizza section was open at about 10 am already. The rolls were fresh out of the oven- chicken parm or sausage and peppers. I chose the sausage after the man described the ingredients and that it was better than any festival. As soon as I dived in , heaven! The restaurant section next door opens at 11 am I think. They told me to take a look in after eating. Beautiful ! He showed the mural that was done by a man from Italy, the handmade tables from 100 year old wood. The pride in every detail- the food, service and feeling you will get- like walking into a friend's house and enjoying Grandma's home cooking! The owner told me about the jazz music they have, and I saw a large bar too. I can't wait for my next visit!

    Calamari appetizer
    Colette G.

    While looking for a place open late for dinner near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, took a chance on here based on menu and reviews. Wood fired pizza and great Italian menu was good for our party of 5. We dined in the restaurant area with the bar. Nice cozy rustic wood feel with white lights. Great casual ambience. They have an amazing jazz trio on Fridays & Saturday nights until 10, we learned upon asking after enjoying their amazing music while waiting to have our order taken. Waitress was amazing. Wrote nothing down and got it all right. 5 people drink orders, apps and meals. Food came quickly. Portions were very generous for the calamari app and my spinach salad is so huge it will be a second meal. As for the individual 12 inch pizzas? They're enough for 2 people. Each person ordered their own pie..we came home with a ton of leftover pizza. Everyone loved it.we had Margarita & naval yard pies. Delicious! The jazz band added such a nice vibe. They were really very talented trio. I don't know if I will ever be back to this area of Brooklyn, and if I am I'm coming back. And definitely telling friends who are going to Stranger Things Experience to take the short ride here for lunch or dinner.

    Grandma Pie
    Sarah J.

    I came here to look at the restaurant before booking a private event, management was friendly and professional. Their grandma slice and Penne Porto was delicious! Fresh mozzarella and basil with flavorful crushed tomato, what's not to like from Grandma! The ambiance was comfortable and the lighting good. They have nice outdoor seating as well. Service was great. Can't wait for my event!

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.

Also, had the divine Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Ended with the Olive Oil Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream and the 3 Mini Cannolis, which provided the perfect bite to end the feast. Just sweet enough to leave you wanting more. No matter the occasion, Barbalu is GOOD to you!

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.

    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.

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.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I wonder how many 100 year old restaurants are still left in NYC. It can't be easy to stay true to who you are in this ever changing world. 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.
