It had been a while since I last had Ottava. I used to have a friend who lived in Park Slope, and we'd either order from here or dine in pretty often. When restaurants started reopening after the shutdowns, Ottava was actually one of the first places I did outdoor dining at. So coming back this month felt a bit like a homecoming and it tasted just as good as I remembered. I ordered the Salsiccia (fior di latte mozzarella, house-made sausage, olives) pizza, and it was cooked to perfection. My friend went with the Margherita (fior di latte mozzarella, fresh basil, EVOO), and I had a slice. Equally delicious. Even though it was pretty busy for a Friday night, the service was excellent, and the staff checked in on us regularly. Now that my friend no longer lives in Park Slope, I'll have to make more of an effort to come back to Ottava. They never miss.

Loved our experience at Ottava for dinner! We were seated immediately (the host even held our table for us while we finished our drinks at the bar next door). The inside is smallish but SUPER cute. Felt very chic and classy. Beautiful bar, too. We ordered the margarita pizza, which was delicious and the tomato sauce tasted super fresh, and the Gorgonzola pizza which I was obsessed with. Strong Gorgonzola flavor, fresh arugula, crispy thin crust. Seriously 10/10. The rice balls were tasty but could use a little more cheese. The corn in them made them feel more summery which I liked. The tiramisu was a gigantic slice and super creamy. I would have preferred more lady fingers to cream ratio but my husband loved it. Highly recommend and will return!

The food was delicious and reasonably priced! Around $100 for two drinks, appetizer, salad and pizza.

Food (4/5): - We ordered a carbonara pizza - The pizza was definitely on the smaller side for New York pizzas. However, it was pretty tasty, and it's still a pretty shareable plate. I shared this pizza with another friend and I found it to be pretty filling on its own - My favorite part of the pizza was the dough/crust. Pizza dough is usually not something I even care about, but their dough had such a beautiful, chewy, light texture that I kept reaching for more of the crust! Service (4.5/5): - They were kind, friendly, and quick - We were a bit confused about seating at first because no one was at the door to direct us to our seat so we awkwardly waited by the front door for a good 5-10 min - Eventually, someone did notice us and get us to our seat Ambiance (5/5): - It's a beautiful, local restaurant that's perfect for catching up with friends or taking someone out on a first date - I love the decoration and the overall cozy ambiance this restaurant gives off Overall, I will be back!

When in the area, we stopped in for brunch. There is a ton of outdoor seating on the side of the restaurant which was quiet and perfect for a summer Sunday brunch. Major points for being toddler/kid friendly though there is no kid specific menu. Service was attentive but it did feel like it took awhile for our drinks and coffee to come out, followed by our entrees immediately served after. As this place has a huge bar, they had a bunch of great summer brunch cocktails which we all really liked. Highly recommend! My entree was the Norwegian Benedict that came with smoked salmon. It came with a side of greens and a potato pancake for $18. It was hearty enough and I am a fan of all things Benedict especially with salmon. It was definitely a good Benedict with a good runny egg. The potato was a bit tough but all in all a good option. I ordered the Ottava breakfast for $15 for my toddler so she could have eggs. The avocado toast, potato pancake, bacon, and the rest went to the rest of us. I selfishly wish we could have just ordered a side of eggs instead but the menu is a bit limited with only about 7 main brunch dishes and some pizzas, no sides or small dish options. All in all- it was a great brunch, just keep in mind this isn't a cheap option. For 3 adults, 1 toddler, and a baby (who didn't eat) - it was $121 before tip.

I'm surprised this spot only has 10 reviews (maybe it's new?), and I was equally surprised that it was fairly empty on a Saturday when I went for brunch, because the food was delicious! On the other hand, I'm selfishly not mad it wasn't busy - because it was empty, my friends and I felt comfortable eating indoors which was wonderful on a cold day, and even when another table showed up there was space to seat them multiple tables away from us. I started with a Bloody Mary and it was great - tasty with a little kick from the horseradish. We ordered the carbonara pizza for the table and I thought it was excellent. It has a great flavor and the dough was very good. I particularly loved the duck prosciutto on top. For my meal, I ordered the prosciutto eggs benedict which I definitely thought were way above average - the egg was deliciously poached, the prosciutto was flavorful, and the bread was perfectly toasted. On top of that, the potato hash was delicious - I'm not the biggest breakfast potato person unless they're in the form of hash browns so this hash brown patty/chunk was perfect. The salad was a tasty and healthy touch too. I'd definitely return and hope this review helps them get more busy!

Came here for dinner last Saturday and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is so cute inside and the vibe is great for a date - too bad I was there with my cousin. We started off with the fried calamari and seafood which comes with the most delicious aioli. We shared the mushroom pizza which was also very tasty with a crust that is perfectly charred and chewy. The best part of our meal was the tiramisu which is probably one of the best I've ever had. I would go back to the restaurant just for the tiramisu!

Feels fancy, great for date night or catching up, without being too formal. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We walked in and sat at the bar as a party of 6 and enjoyed our time. They have a large selection of interesting pizzas. We also got skirt steak, branzino, a burger- all were pretty good.

Lovely outdoor seating. Walked by many times before eating here. It's like a little fairy land seating area with the twinkle lights on a brownstone block. My 17 year old son & husband loved their pollo salad. They said the fried chicken was perfection. There were a couple screaming kids (not the restaurants fault. Not anyone's fault-just sayin'). IMO, I wouldn't take a little kid here. Though they have pizza, this is gourmet pizza. You pay for it and it's worth it, but it would be wasted on little kids. It's more of a cocktail, gourmet brick oven pizza place with duck & truffles... that kind of thing. Kids would be happier at Johnny Macs, across the st. Service was great :)

Yummm! Went here with a few friends for a spontaneous dinner and it looked good. We ordered the arancini, fritto misto, the mushroom pizza, and the carbonara pizza. All were incredibly delicious. Arancini delivers the promised flavors and are moist, the fritto misto is a great blend of types of seafood and has flavor to the breading, and the pizza dough is the perfect level of chew. They've got a ton of great outdoor seating and we LOVED our waitress. Highly recommend.

this was one of my testing the waters with gluten nights and let me tell you, i do have a tummy ache, but what i don't have: regrets! two important things to note in the review: 1) eat outside if the weather is nice (because what is better than enjoying pizza outside on a beautiful summer night) but go inside to check out the glamorous and transformative aesthetic 2) get the olives and let me know if you agree with the ranking (black, green, pink) We got the MELANZANE pizza and the Mercato salad and it was the perfect amount of food. i will say that anything with lemon at this restaurant, really seems to lay on the lemon. the salad was really just okay. nothing to go crazy about. the pizza was good, but i would want to try another one. it has all the potential for an amazing pizza, i maybe just didn't love this exact combo of flavors - really inventive menu and i'm excited to come back again !! also very inclusive gluten free options :)

Kinda surprised because this restaurant is so beautiful and well-attended, but the pizza is... way better down the street at Battle Hill Tavern - a tavern of all places. As the other Yelp photos suggest, the pizza here is kinda dry and bland for Neapolitan pizza. That said, the burrata appetizer will blow your mind. So get that instead of pizza, it's roughly the size of one. It's essentially a very GOOD pizza with... different topography.
