    My friend hosted his pre-graduation celebration here of 75 people. Osteria was not ready. Poor planning, struggling mid-tier service, and thick warm air stacks up real quick. The restaurant provided a course set meal: appetizer, main entree, and dessert. It took 3 hours and 45 minutes from when the party started to delivering the main entree meal. They weren't slow. They were understaffed, severely. The bartender mid-way switched to busting and serving food. Food-- mid. It's a large party, so I get it. Quality was minimal and quantity is high. Shutout the bruschetta & prosciutto though-- that was bomb. The Bar was chaos. 3 people to hold the fort down for our party and the general public outdoor seating. Had to repeat my order 3 times before getting their signature drink, Aperol Spritz. It felt like the Bartender was ignoring me, as I patiently sat there, repeated the same order with a smile, only for him to mumble and do something else. Bartending is hard service. What was lacking was acknowledgement. "Hey you're next" or "I got two other orders ahead of you." Another bartender had minimal knowledge on drink combinations. I would ask her what was in the drinks, and she immediately cast off any questions to the next bartender. This happened the entire night with any questions. What if someone had an allergy? What if the drink was supposed to be a mocktail? She wouldn't know. No A/C. Just a swamp, heat trapping sauna. Poor ventilation and venue to accommodate air flow. A lot of older adults at this party. I was worried they would suffer a heat stroke. Dessert was never served to my table, lol. Osteria, my friend, I hope you give your staff a raise. They hauled ass. As for the family that hosted the dinner, they certainly got overcharged for the level of service promised.

    Gnocchi with Pesto (without the pizza crust)

    Went here with a group of friends for dinner. The place is by the waterfront of LIC overlooking Manhattan's skyline. It has a cozy ambiance and we went around 8pm so it wasn't crowded. We had made a reservation as well. They have a variety on their menu and a couple good vegetarian dishes. I tried their Fettuccine Alfredo and Gonnchi Pesto without the pizza crust. The portions for both was filling. They gave us a cheese wheel demo for the Fettuccine Alfredo which was a cute touch. The prices are on the higher side but that's what we can expect with pasta. The service was nice and I'd recommend this place to others. Note: There is street parking but it might be hard to get. Its a 5 min walk from the 7 train Vernon stop which might be more convenient.

    Sunday Brunch! I've had Osteria Brooklyn bookmarked for toooo long.... Finally got the chance to visit for brunch on a Sunday. It was a beautiful summer Sunday, outdoor seating was at capacity so we chose to sit inside. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. Our waitress was over shortly after sitting to introduce herself and give a few recommendations. I opted for the bottomless brunch option. This includes your choice of entree (I had the steak sandwich) along with 60 mins of unlimited cocktails. The white sangria was phenomenal!!! Very refreshing, not too sweet and not too strong. The steak sandwich was also very good. I look forward to going back for dinner!

    Osteria Brooklyn is an Italian Restaurant & this location is in Long Island City, Queens. Osteria Brooklyn @ LIC is in the Hunter's Point section of LIC, w/ in walking distance of the 7 train. It is also close to some beautiful waterfront views which adds to its cool ambiance. We came here for my Celebratory Birthday Brunch, & so we chose the Bottomles Brunch option. Bottomless Brunch includes 60 mins. of selected cocktails (Mimosas, Margaritas, Bloody Marys, Red & White Wine Sangria & Prosecco) w/ Brunch dish ($45). We ordered the Osteria Combo - 2 eggs, bacon, sausage w/ mixed greens potatoes & pancake (one can choose either a waffle of pancake) & Bistecca All'Occhio Di Bue - Steak & Eggs w/ Hollandaise Sauce, mixed greens & potatoes. Everything was amazing! After enjoying Brunch Service at the bar area, we were able to sit in their front outdoor seating area & enjoy our Red Wine Sangrias. We were able to sit at our leisure & fully enjoy the food, cocktails, service & overall ambiance. Special Thanks to Loren, Daniel, Puma, Jorge & Orta. Upon arrival, Loren was so kind, gracious & attentive. Actually, they were all so attentive to patrons. Daniel was so courteous & made the best well-prepared cocktails. Overall, great customer service throughout the visit. Gelato for dessert was so good - creamy & refreshing. osteriabrooklyn.com @osteriabrooklynlic Mon. - Fri. - 11:30am - 3:30pm (Lunch) Mon. - Fri. - 4pm - 10pm (Dinner) Sat. & Sun. - 11:15am - 3:30pm (Brunch) Sat. & Sun. - 4pm - 10pm (Dinner)

    Not sure how I didn't review this spot before, but it consistently hits. Solid, delicious Italian food, with great apps and entrees, and non-pushy service. Today (Saturday) I stopped by for a late lunch with my folks around 3ish. We were started off with a basket of assorted breads with a lovely dip (tomato/red pepperish?). For apps, we settled on the Lobster Salad, Crunchy Salmon Tartare, and Shrimp Ceviche. The lobster salad had nice, big chunks of lobster, with some arugula, grape tomato, oranges, seaweed salad - delightful The crunchy salmon tartare was essentially dressed salmon ceviche on crispy wild rice - nice contrast of textures, very yummy. The shrimp ceviche was served with some house-made tortilla chips for scooping purposes - fresh and delicious. For Mains, I got the short ribs with veggies (or poleta) - I'm always a sucker for their short ribs and these were super super tender and absolutely scrumptious. The veggie medley was also excellent. While I'd normally go for their bread pudding for dessert, we were all pretty stuffed at this point, and opted to say some calories...but that just means next time I'll pretty much have to indulge. Bottom line: super glad Osteria Brooklyn opened up here, right near my place - easily on the short list of favorite spots in LIC.

    This review is solely based on happy hour which I found to be great. A good selection of cocktails for $8! I wish that wine was also included in the offering and the speed at which the drinks came was slow even though it wasn't very crowded and no one was in the bar area. That said, the taste was great, awesome outdoor patio and they were super amenable if you wanted to switch which spirit was in your drink.

    Osteria has a great location right on the east river in lic. Sit out doors and on the perfect day it's magical. The service is great as well very attentive kept waters filled checked if you need anything and had recommendations. Here's where they get dinged in the food. The pizza was excellent. Good size, brick over nice amount of cheese to sauce ration and had fig which was. An excellent complement. The watermelon salad was where they were slacking . It didn't go well together at all corn arugula a slice of watermelon shrimp and cherry tomatoes. It lacked depth and continuity. Would give them a higher rating but it's more than a pizza place so you come for other stuff and I think this is indicative of the menu. Will try again and try a few more items and adjust eating accordingly.

    Spaghetti Fra Diavolo
    Donesha T.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Upon entry, you can see into the kitchen and the pizza oven with the desserts of the night on display. We made a reservation two hours before and we're seated right away There is a sizable cocktail menu as well as wine menu. The spaghetti fra diavlo was very tasty and a large serving. We loved the pizza served with prosciutto and figs. I can't remember the name of it. Additionally, we ordered the ceviche, which honestly was just OK. The shrimp tasted as if it was boiled and not left in the lemon juice as other types of ceviche. They seem to have a rotating dessert menu. I didn't get to try anything, but I will next time.

    Order: - Beef Meatballs (4/5) - French Fries (4/5) - Pappardelle Oxtail Ragu (5/5) - (Seasonal?) Summer Time Pizza with Burrata and Prosciutto (5/5) - Tiramisu (3/5) Pros: - Large menu with great selections - Food came out quickly - Pasta tasted fresh and sauce was good - Large portions for pasta and pizza - Convenient location with a great view of the city skyline - Indoor and outdoor seating Cons: - Wait staff were slow to bring the check around - Tiramisu was dry - Meatballs itself were super tiny Overall: A decent Italian restaurant with a good selection. Restaurant tables and seating could use an upgrade

    So I read the reviews here were mixed and that should have told me to stay away but I like to give local placs a chance. However it was a mistake...I took my mom to brunch here on a sunday we tried 3 things, the gnochi truffle, eggplant parm, and the pizza, the one dish that was alright was the truffle gnochi but it was a small portion and a few shavings of truffle for $30 is a joke, overral everything is pretty bland anything that you can make at home or frozen...The food literally came out in between 1-2 minutes so what does that tell you, nothing was made fresh, probably reheated in the microwave...I would say this is is a little better than Olive Garden, givening them an extra star because the outdoor area was nice to sit on a nice day.

    Went to Osteria Brooklyn (in LIC... lol) with a group of friends for dinner. The overall experience was very mid. We tried a few things off the menu including a pizza, burrata, their house special fettuccine, and salmon. It's a bit sad that the best thing we tried was the pizza, which was actually not bad. However, everything else that we ordered was really not very memorable. I was excited to try their house fettuccine which they prepare table side and top with fresh truffle. The table side preparation was fun, but the sauce was too rich and the truffle was lost in the dish. Was honestly disappointed. The servers could have been more attentive, especially since the restaurant wasn't even that full. One last comment is that the restaurant was very hot, even with the AC on. My friends and I were uncomfortable throughout the meal and were relieved when we were able to leave.

    My partner and I live nearby and every time we walk by Osteria Brooklyn LIC, we see it pretty busy so we thought why not stop by for dinner Saturday night. Unfortunately, the service was lackluster which didn't give us hope for our food. Maybe that affected our tastebuds or that we ordered the wrong dishes, but we left the dinner feeling very underwhelmed. For not so cheap prices, we would at least expect to enjoy our food thoroughly. I was told by some friends to give it another try so hopefully, one day in the future, I'd be able to make a better review.

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The bartender, the one person who should be welcoming and engaging, came across as rude and lacked any charisma. On a Friday night, good energy behind the bar makes a huge difference, and that was completely missing. I ordered a margarita, which is one of the simplest and most common cocktails to make. I asked for it really sweet with plenty of salt on the rim. Instead, it came out barely sweet and with almost no salt. For a $17 margarita, I expected much better. I've had to return the drink because I've had better margaritas for $12 at other places. While waiting for my friend, I had to wait with a glass of water because I didn't trust the way they made the drink. The bartender told me I either needed to order another drink or move, which felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. To be fair, the food was good and the space itself is nice. However, the bar service left a very poor impression. There are plenty of more affordable places where the staff are friendly and make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. Give this place a 6.5
