    Appetizers  Bruschetta Pesto e Burrata
    Amanda A.

    The most disappointing meal I may have ever had, or at least this year. I had heard good things about this place so decided to try it over my tried and true greenpoint pasta place Le fanfare. Big fucking mistake. All four dishes were disgusting. The only thing redeeming this restaurant is the wonderful wait staff, but I think they know this so they have to compensate by being very outgoing. We started with the Caesar Brussel sprouts and the burrata pesto bruschetta. The Brussels sprouts were too heavy and covered with a thick anchovy sauce, even drowned. It was a wet hot mess and didn't sit well at all, horrible consistency . Next up the burrata crostini. The mint pesto tasted old and as if it came right out of a container. The burrata was ok but it needed some salt and oil. The whole dish tasted bland and stale, the opposite of what a burrata is supposed to be. And here are the most disappointing- the 30+$ pastas. Such a disgrace. The first up was the ricotta angolotti with truffle butter sauce. It came with corn that tasted like it had been frozen- not fresh and soft at all DURING CORN SEASON!!! The sauce tasted nothing of truffle but luckily was actual butter. The worst part was the ricotta, completely clumpy and clotted and grainy inside. Probably also frozen or just not fresh and past its prime. An absolute fail of a dish at that price it's really outrageous. Next up we had the white pork ragu with some sort of flat square pasta. First ip the pasta was served in a clump so it was just stick together and completely not tossed in the sauce - at least it seemed to be fresh pasta but it was almost worse because it was really all stuck together. The sauce was abhorrent-so thin and watery and the pork was dry and tasted like Morningstar vegetarian frozen crumbles. It must've been lean or something bc it completely lacked and flavor or fatty taste a ragu should absolutely have. Tasted completely unsalted. We couldn't even eat this one we left most of it uneaten. I was able to muscle down the agnolotti because at the least it wasn't dry, but we left a majority of the food at the table. For a 175$ meal ( only one drink each) I feel this was the biggest rip off of my life. It seems we ordered all the wrong things but at this price all the food should be at least decent.

    Great but not the best bang for your buck. Food was delicious don't get me wrong, but serving size was quite little in my personal opinion for the amount you pay (especially in comparison to other italian restaurants). It may look big in the photos, but there really isnt much once you dig into it. The flavor profile of everything was definitely great and I enjoyed my time here! But nothing that Wow'd me enough to keep coming back. I'd say this is more of a great one and done experience for me.

    Spigola
    Nafisa H.

    Classic elevated Italian food in north Brooklyn. We ventured out here Friday night based on a friend's recommendation and it didn't disappoint. Right when we were seated we were given a side of focaccia. We had to stop ourselves from not devouring this to save some for our entrees. Altogether we shared the insalata, spigola, and the agnolotti. I always like to get some greens with my meal, and the mixed greens was a good starter. Personally I loved the agnolotti. It tasted so bright and fresh and I loved the addition of corn. The spigola which is a pan seared sea bass was cooked really well. It came with couscous, olives and tomatoes and it made it a really well rounded meal. The ambience in this place is so cozy. This would be a lovely place for a date.

    I found this place based on its reviews. They don't take reservations, so only walk-ins, delivery, or takeout. Your entire party must be with you to get seated. If not, they have you wait at the bar. The food was good. I must say that the insalata with mixed greens, fresh herbs, candied hazelnuts, and Lambrusco vinaigrette were really delicious. All the ingredients just complemented each other. I've never tasted such sweet hazelnuts before. For entrees, we ordered the housemade pastas - such as the Tagliatelle with shiitake mushrooms, butter sauce, and Parmigiano. Also ordered the Strozzapreti with slow cooked rabbit legs with arugula. Both pastas were unique in shape and taste. I've never had such tender rabbit meat before. For dessert, we tried the Tiramisu, which has the mascarpone cream eggs, coffee liquor, and lady fingers. The dessert was so sweet, and it made me want more even though I was so full.

    I came here solo after a long day of work. It was quiet on a Friday night so I sat at the bar. The bartender was extremely nice and attentive. He made me a sweet but strong espresso martini with a hint of caramel if I remember well. The food was amazing. The flavor in both dishes was too good and it was ready quickly and was hot... just how i like it. I'm saying that because a lot of restaurants i've visited recently haven't served me hot food, but warm which disappoints me each time. I have recommended here to a few people already and I won't stop.

    Salad
    Wendy B.

    Overall delicious and pleasant meal. Cute and warm and cozy interior. Favorite dish was the Rabbit Pasta! Flavorful, tender rabbit, complex. Cauliflower, Octopus, Salad apps were pretty good too. Least favorite was probably the Short Rib over Polenta as the Short Rib was probably not braised enough still a bit tough, not tender. Love it in general though!

    Olive Oil Cake
    Althea A.

    Delicious italian food and ambiance. The waiter was extremely friendly and helpful. Also had great espresso martinis!

    Olive oil cake

    This is our spot we when want a "treat ourselves" meal. The food is always fantastic, drinks consistent and the whole experience is overall great. The manager was very kind and seated us right away, we didn't have a res but it was early on a Monday evening so it worked out. They've done a great job with their outdoor setup, nice tables/benches and cute pink umbrellas to distract from dining on the street. Our waiter was super, super attentive and very kind making small talk with us. As for the food, I love the agnolotti, I get it without corn (personal preference) but this time I opted for some square pasta with pork ragu and it was a TREAT! So good, so filling and flavorful. My fiancé got the duck, I hate duck but I had a bite and I legit liked it (he absolutely loved it) and my friend got the agnolotti and loved it. Also the pesto/burrata app is fab. I always get the Hornet, fiancé the Beagle and my friend got the peppercorn sour which she loved and got another. Also, A+ for drink presentation. Not all Italian restaurants place a big focus on cocktail programs but they certainly do! Oh and we always get an espresso martini for dessert (it's not milky or cloudy which I love) and the olive oil cake! Once COVID-19 is over, I suggest dining inside - cozy and cute atmosphere with cool lighting.

    Tagliatelle
    Brooke S.

    This is our favorite nearby "nice dinner out". Noodles are made in house & excellent martinis. I personally like the peppercorn sour. The tagliatelle may be their most popular dish. You can sit inside or outside for most of the year. We're regulars!

    Agnolotti
    Camilo P.

    *vegetarian review* To start off, the service was good no concerns there. They were attentive and the food came out quickly! The ambience was good, they have outdoor seating although we were seated in an uncovered portion. We started with the crispy eggplant which looked so good in pictures. Flavor wise, the torretta (eggplant dish) was a bit lacking - it could have used a bit more salt and spices overall and in addition, the eggplant was not crispy unfortunately, a bit soggy. Moving on to the main entrees, we had the tagliatelle with sautéed mushrooms. Personally, I loved the mushrooms and pasta was al dente, but this also suffered from one dimensional flavor profile and I was waiting for a little bit more from this pasta dish. I liked it, but didn't love it. Meanwhile, the agnolotti (stuffed ricotta filled pasta) was a great choice and I think the truffle butter sauce really makes this dish with an excellent flavor profile. 5/5 for this dish, so fulfilling. We ordered a side of the broccoli rabe to try to balance out our meal, and again, disappointed by the lack of flavor. The broccoli itself was cooked well, just need more flavor. I would say the best part of the meal were the cocktails. I got the bourbon cider, which was SO good. I am not a bourbon person and this cocktail was just so perfectly crafted and not overpowering. My partner got the herbivore for a more refreshing cocktail, a great choice, and definitely a strong cocktail. Overall, I thought it was a good restaurant in a good location that was very close to being a great restaurant if the above mentioned dishes got a little more complexity to their flavor profiles. Excellent cocktails. Dog friendly for outdoor seating. 4/5.

    Good Italian fare, in friendly environs... There are plenty of Italian restaurants in NYC, but precious few where you can get _actually_ good ravioli. Which you can, here. At a decent price too (for NYC, mind you!). The rest of the pasta is hit or miss - in the sense that the "miss" makes it go from *excellent* to just plain "quite good", so yeah, you really should come here anyhow Anyhow, add in a good wine selection, friendly staff, and location (if you're in Greenpoint!), and hey, you'll probably keep coming back!

    Frittura Mista and  Insalata
    Jamie C.

    Good. We tried their frittura mista, salad, sea bass, tagiatelle, and olive oil cake. The frittura mista was very good. Probably one of the best I've had in a while, lightly battered and flavorful. It was a nice mix of cod, shrimp, and calamari. The salad was good, nothing special. The sea bass was really good. Cooked very well and well seasoned. The tagliatelle, on the other hand, was kind of disappointing. It had no flavor and the pasta was just okay for being freshly made. I prefer Forma Pasty Factory's mushroom tagliatelle. Lastly, the olive oil cake, was very dense. A little too dense for my liking. Overall it was good, I would come back to try their other menu items.

Plush couches, small high top tables with bankers lights, and a few long coffee tables makes this place ideal for work or socializing. The noise level on a Sunday afternoon was muted, but it might be louder during weekdays. Value: 5/5. The prices are well below market value for Greenpoint, about $1-$2 less than other coffee bars.

Bouquet is a small business that hasn't promoted much on Instagram or Eater, so it seems to have gone under the radar. I'm hoping I can do it justice as the first reviewer on this platform. We stumbled upon Bouquet during a mini bar crawl in Greenpoint. We initially planned to hit a few spots, but ended up settling in here for most of the night. We were mostly served by Eric who I believe was the owner operator. He's a NYC native who is super passionate about wine. The wine bar focuses on natural wines and other wines which emphasize minimal additives. The goal here seems to be to sell from producers who try to capture magic in a bottle. The wine list is three pages, so it's long but still approachable. There are about ten wines available by the glass. I started with a Montelpuciano. I sampled a bit and found it to be gassy and funky. The bartender was receptive to my feedback and made another recommendation - a different wine from the Loire Valley. The second option was more of what I was looking for. It was a more structured wine with a more traditional palate. I decided to eventually circle back to the Montelpuciano for my second glass. I'm stubborn and like to give a different flavors a chance to grow on me. I'm a person who doesn't like blue cheese but continually tries it just to make sure. The aroma of this wine was minerally. The best description I have is an Iron adjacent smell. Almost like blood but not the same. The flavor was earthy and rooty. It was the best part of the wine. It had a short finish. I'm no wine expert, but I can tell I was tasting something special. The last time I had wine like this was at a wine making competition. I also tried some of the wine on draft. It was an easy going wine that you could easily have a few of. We didn't have any food, but it seemed like the signature of the menu was their smash burgers. They also had some small bites like fries, cheese, olives, charcuterie, and salads. The other big items were schnitzel and the Rigatoni Alla Vino. The operator said the Rigatoni was an ode to a dish from Don Peppe's - a locals' favorite Italian restaurant in Queens. The space is welcoming. It part of the new wave of wine bars that aren't stuffy. It's about trying fun and experimental wines. Young stuff. Not necessarily hawking out for carefully aged vintages. It's fun and the team is very hospitable. Music is what I'd expect from a Queens local. Lots of 90s and 2000s hip hop. Playlist was filled with A Tribe Called Quest, Talib Kweli, and Common. They have some big speakers and turntables for vinyl records. They had a new record from Future which I suppose is something to boost for audiophiles. Acoustics here were as good as any listening lounge that we've been to in NYC. Entertainment wise, they have some board games behind the bar. No TVs inside the bar, but they have a projector in the backyard which can be used for special events. Two gender neutral restrooms. The one I used was handicap accessible. There is a step to enter the establishment, but they have a button to press in order to request assistance with entry. Good luck to Bouquet! They'll certainly be my go to for wine in Greenpoint.
