WOW. Sad it took me so long to try this place because Mariela blew me out of the damn water! Very cute and cozy local place in Park Slope. The eggplant stew that comes with the buratta is to die for, I would eat an entire bowl of just this. The real star of dinner was the grilled branzino, it was possibly the best fish I've ever had. Flakey, flavorful, fresh, perfectly cooked, just unbelievable. The shrimp risotto was also very tasty and a huge portion for under $30. HIghly Recommend!
Cute little corner spot near prospect park. Outdoor dining quite charming, but can get cold. I prefer the garden seating but on this visit my bf's mom wanted to sit indoor. The pasta dishes are all consistently good. I would not say amazing, but it's solid. My last visit I had the lobster ravioli but sadly they did not have it this day. A nice casual place good for any night of the week.
My second time dining here and the food was delicious as always. I ordered the menu special gnocchi boar wagu this time. Definitely decent dish and fresh to order. The staff gave excellent service and was charismatic towards my group with the salmon dish return. The salmon was the least favorite but every other dished ordered below was delicious. We ended up ordering the the lobster ravioli. Mi piace.
Pretty solid Italian spot with an open kitchen so you can see inside where all the magic happens. We were seated quickly (to be fair it was 8pm on a Wednesday but still), and the food came out just as quickly. I feel like most Italian places I go to are so insanely slow (for the ambience of course), but we actually were in a rush so we appreciated the hustle. I ordered the walnut pesto dish, which was tube pasta with walnut kale pesto. It was super yummy, especially with extra cheese sprinkled on top (I'm a hoe for cheese on pasta). I liked the texture that the walnuts brought to the bite as well. It was very noticeably oily though, with oil collecting like soup at the bottom of the bowl. I also thought that the portion size was very small. Both my friend and I were still hungry after leaving, even though what we got was great. Looking at the menu, the food is pretty reasonably priced on first glance, but considering the amount of pasta you get for your buck, that initial judgement call definitely starts to waver. Loved the comfy vibe though! And appreciated the attentive service.
The restaurant feels intimate. The waitress was pleasant and the food came at an average rate. Brunch was until 4 PM on Saturday so I got the pancakes. The peaches were tasty. The pancakes were not buttery or sweet enough for me but my friend said Ricotta pancakes can be like that. This place seems good for a date/catching up with a friend.
A wonderful spot enjoyed by all who dinned there. You can sit outside, inside or at the bar. All great and the waitstaff is perfectly friendly and accommodating. The food is extra good and fresh. All in all a great experience. My husband and I both enjoyed it and will be back.
Came here to treat my friends to their birthdays belated/ early (one was Oct and another in Dec) brunch on a Sunday 11am. The ambience is the quintessential Park Slope vibe where our server spoke with a European accent and the menu had some typical American/ Italian fare produced with classical French techniques at fair prices. I had the lobster ravioli. Nicely plated with an abundance of peas in a cream sauce that was not too heavy. You can however taste that it was probably previously frozen as the pasta as al dente, but the lobster overcooked. My friend's ricotta pancakes were pretty light and fluffy.
I came to Mariella for dinner in late January 2021. I live in Brooklyn but not too close to the area. My friend picked this place, I'd never heard of it previously. We came without a reservation around 6 on a Monday night. It was a pretty cold night, and they didn't have outdoor heaters at the time we dined. The service was kind and efficient. They gave us complimentary bread and olive oil to start after we ordered. I got a pasta dish with pesto sauce and thought it was fine. I liked my friend's pasta dish a lot more. We also had some roasted potatoes on the side that were a lot like thick fries. Solid choice for Italian in the area but I wouldn't say this is a place you need to go out of the way for.
Lovely rustic Italian spot that hits the spot, but wouldn't say it's the top spot in the area A group of four of us came on a freezing Friday night and it was a bit chilly inside too, especially since they pulled one of their frozen patio tables directly from outside for us since they ran out of tables. That said the candlit ambiance is classic and lovely and the staff were nice and attentive We started with the burrata eggplant appetizer. It's a unique combination and I thought it was very tasty. It was a light bite split four ways. They provide complimentary Italian bread and offered us a refill, too Main dishes were a bit hit or miss -kale pesto- yummy! The pesto and pastas all seem to be homemade -salmon with black spaghetti- two friends for this swapped wirh regular fettuccini and found the pasta was over cooked, but good flavor -bolognese- my friend seemed to like it Overall, I'd go back for good vibes since I live nearby, especially for the patio in the summer
I came with a friend for dinner. I got the arancine , tagliatelle with Ragu sauce and espresso panna cotta. They start off with bread and olive oil, then the food comes out. All of it was good quality and tasty. It felt like a neighborhood favorite. Servers were nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Beware of the opening door if it's very cold.
Food: 4/5 Stopped by for brunch yesterday. We ordered a burrata, a frittata and a bolognese. The burrata was delicious! It was full of flavor and came loaded with cheese, eggplant and tomatoes. It might be one of the best burratas Ive had. It was light, tangy and creamy! Definitely recommend! My frittata came with kale, mushrooms, cheese and a little bit of onions. I personally thought it was a bit too heavy on the cheese but my pup sure didn't mind! My dog loves cheese! The frittata was light and airy. Perfectly made! The bolognese looked amazing. I'm giving this place a 4/5 because I ordered the frittata. They have so many other pasta options on the menu. We went for brunch so I wanted eggs but next time, I'll try the pasta for sure! (My friends food looked much better than mine.) Carbs are tastier than eggs for sure! Service: 5/5 Our waitress was super sweet and accommodating. I think I asked her for three cups of coffee and she refilled my cup eagerly every time! She naturally had an accommodating personality. I think her name was Lulijiana? As soon as I arrived, she poured a bowl of water for my dog. She was such a dear.. Ambiance: 3/5 This "outdoor dining" thing can only stretch so far into the colder season. It was a bit chilly under the tent and the streets were very loud for a weekend. I had to drink a lot of coffee to keep me warm. Totally not the restaurants fault but I crave normalcy. The inside was a bit rustic and had old school charm. Overall, great place to dine. Laid back and casual. Great date spot!
Every single bite here was delicious. The bread with olive oil was delicious, and the special of the day which was spinach ricotta ravioli was so good I was literally lapping up the brown butter sauce with the remaining bread we had. Ate every last bite. Service was prompt and friendly and the ambiance was cute, especially for a date.

We've been coming back to this cozy, neighborhood place for a couple of years now. This time, without reservations and still, we were quickly greeted and seated by an energetic waitress/hostest/bartender who seems to be everywhere. Lots of regulars, hearing "good to see you," and "I see you have the muscles," and plenty of smiles. A small hiccough--after we were seated, it took a while for the young, probably new waiter to greet us, but then it was all good, as usual. Generous portions, without being supersized, excellent branzino and pappardelle with short-rib ragu, and amazingly, a Brunello di Montalcino by the glass. (Aged enough the tannins smoothed out, with a lick of black licorice.) Full, we still made room for an affogato. We'll be back again. read more

Wow. Mariella was serious a home run. Was searching on Yelp for a spot that serves pasta and we ended up here! Ordered the octopus zucchini appetizer as my entree because I wanted something light. HOLY LORD SAVIOR THE FLAVOR IT SERVES! This was by far the best octopus I've had in the United States. It's up there with the octopus I've had in Greece, Croatia, Barcelona and Italy. Ever had octopus melt in your mouth? The octopus here absolutely does! Paired with the peppery arugula and refreshing mint vinaigrette- muah! Brava! Also the zucchini doesn't taste like plain zucchini. It's buttery and zingy at the same time. 10/10 highly recommend this dish. My friend got the spinach ricotta ravioli in brown butter with sage. She cleaned her plate without even coming up for air and was literally dipping the remainder of the bread from the basket in the brown butter sauce at the end she loved it so much. Your dinner starts with bread & the most flavorful olive oil. Delightfully bright with notes of pepper and fruit. It's no wonder our dinner was so marvelous-- the owner (I think he was the owner) was very sweet when I had a quick chat with him about the octopus. He had a very nice European accent as well! read more

MARIELLA In times like these, I think really hard about where I choose to dine outside of the house. #MariellaSlope , which already had outdoor dining before the pandemic has expanded its seating! Social distancing and frequent sanitizing practices are extremely important in preventing the spread of the coronavirus. I am happy to say that the waiters and waitresses at #MariellaSlope are excellent! When looking for a place to dine, I first consider the food, the ambiance and then the cost , yeah, I know that's backwards. I would have to tell you that this meal was absolutely perfect, I started off with the usual fresh bread and olive oil that you receive from an authentic Italian restaurant. The Melon draped with Prosciutto and drizzled with Balsamic Glaze is my new favorite appetizer !! BUT the Boneless Braised Short Ribs in a red wine sage reduction with garlic, Potato purée & Vegetables .... was perfectly prepared as well. #SupportLocalRestaurants #MyHungryWorld #MyHungryWorldEats read more

I have been here twice before and seems to me like new owners since my last visit but the important thing was that the food was just as tasty now as it was than. Apologies as I cannot recall the names of all the items we ordered. It was three ofis and order one appetizer special of the day truffled burrata crostini's and three mains and one dessert. Loved all the food. Everything nicely al dente and cooked to perfection. Had a panna cotta dessert which was a bit too dense and topped with chocolate drizzle. This is where they could have done a bit better. I remember having here the melon wrapped in prosciutto before seasonal appetizer and can't wait for it to come back. Solid. read more

I dont eat Italian much but my wife does. She has been to Italy. This Mother's Day we came here based on reviews and the Ambiance, friendliness of staff, recommendations. And FOOD was phenomenal. I closed my eyes with each bite to cherish the flavor! So good! Straight Euphoria. The food came out at a great time, not too long not too early. Just perfect. My 5 month son was getting antsy from me holding him in front of the wall and I changed my seat to the back door chair that was there as a barrier to the rear. I sat there so I could distract my son to look outside and I could eat simultaneously. This worked and the staff did not discourage me from sitting there. Their flexibility helped me thoroughly enjoy my meal. We will be back! read more

I go here almost every Saturday, and get the Short rib hash, their service is super amazing, the staff is so friendly and checks up on you often. Their desserts are great their espresso panecotta is delicious so so is their burrrata sandwich. This is a hidden Brooklyn gem read more
Mariella won my brunch heart. If anyone wants to know my go to brunch place. Mariella is it. You don't have to go anywhere else. They have everything to offer, sweet, savory, eggs MAD pasta dishes. I mean. On a summer, spring day you perfect seating outside. Or even on a cold night or day you can sit toasty and cozy inside. The staff is super freaking friendly. Laid back and makes you feel like home. This place is an entire mood. So for the food: Pasta dishes are superb, the rigatoni Mariella is absolutely bomb. I 've had a special pasta dish with mushrooms YUM. We've had French toast, frittata and eggs benedict. You feel like you are eating quality food for the price tag. Unlike many places where you are paying a hefty price for subpar food. read more
