    Really good and high quality hand made pasta. Carbonara was perfectly aldente. Soft but still had a nice bite to it. Also the sauce with bacon was so good! Caesar salad was solid and not too heavy. The mocktails were also good, despite the waiter messing up my order, I didn't say anything and still enjoyed the drink that I was served.

    Prosciutto and melon
    Nicole B.

    They officially have gluten free pasta and I'm so happy! I'll start with the star of the show though - the prosciutto and melon. It was so fresh and light - the perfect starter dish. Moving on to the pasta, it was very tasty and you could not even taste that it was gluten free. The portion size was very big, the meat was very tender and the sauce was very flavorful. We got broccolini on the side and it had a nice bite to it. I only wish we had room for dessert. In terms of the service, they were very fast and friendly. The inside was well decorated and spacious. We decided to sit in their outside patio and it was well covered. Note that do not allow dogs in the patio or inside. I'll definitely be back!

    Cacio e pepe
    Neha S.

    The cacio e pepe was really tasty - not too salty and not bland either. The pasta shape, which I've never had, does a good job of staying saucy. I got this to go so I can't speak to a sit down experience but the cacio e pepe will definitely have me coming back. Also their blood orange juice tasted fresh!

    fun, pretty, simple, nostalgic & sweet. a love letter to italian cuisine + more. looking forward to the next visit

    We walked in without a reservation and were seated immediately. Pasta Night offers an elevated "pay-at-the-counter" style of dining. While it felt a bit odd at first, once we sat down and the food arrived, my husband and I were practically salivating. We started with the bread and dipping oil and calamari. Both were fantastic. The olive oil, garlic, and parsley dipping oil was addictive, and the bread was fluffy and clearly house-made--it had that wonderful just baked smell. The calamari had a light, crispy batter and was packed with flavor. For our mains, I had the chicken Milanese and my husband went with the pasta with ragu. My Milanese was so good. It was seasoned to perfection, with a beautiful golden-brown crust, topped with a refreshing salad, shavings of parmesan, and cooked mushrooms. My husband enjoyed his pasta, but kept eyeing my dish, so he ended up eating mine as well. Overall, Pasta Night feels like a cozy neighborhood gem with food that bursts with flavor. I'm super excited to have found my new favorite Italian spot.

    Lasagna

    Nice little spot found after a graduation with the family. Drinks were solid. Very friendly peeps serving! For apps, the calamari and meatball flavors were great and the salad was a nice pairing. Pizza was decent. Some of the pasta dishes were a bit of a hit or miss. The Lasagna was great! The crab pasta - not so much. It didn't taste fresh at all and flavors did not blend well. Will come back for a quick night meal, but the restaurant does need to do better with some of the pastas so that they are standouts (Especially if it's called Pasta Night)!

    This is the new sort of quick service/sort of table service Italian spot from the Ciao Gloria team, and right across the street from the great bakery/cafe. Go in and order at the counter, and then grab a seat, where they will bring your food out to you. Definitely sit in the nice little patio in the back while the weather is still good enough. Make sure you start with the Focaccia and the Insalata di Casa, and then get a bunch of pastas. The best one we tried was the Gemelli with Pesto, but "The Big Ragu" was also excellent. For dessert, the gelato from Biddrina is a perfect combo with the chocolate cake. Will definitely be back ASAP to try more pastas and the Chicken Milanese entree.

    Pasta Night, when you enter, evokes the aperitivo. Rather than a line, you enter to standing tables with menus laid out where you can gather and decide on your meal. It's not quite pre-dinner drinks as in Italy, but it has somehow transformed the experience of waiting in line from dull and annoying to almost a social occasion. It is an unusual welcome, and a welcome change of pace. There is a bar where drinks are prepared directly in front of you in the entry way as you decide on your order. Once you have, you walk up to the cash register. Unlike other restaurants with counter ordering, you are then seated by the host or the cashier, a touch that helps make what can be a somewhat hectic process run a bit more smoothly. There is seating for solo diners at a bar that faces a wall (not my favorite, but I do appreciate that there is a spot for those who are dining alone). The menu is inspired by the traditional Italian approach to meals, and in a larger group you could really order a bit from each category. The menu also is perfectly suitable for a solo diner or couple, and the pasta is usually sufficient for a meal (not particularly large portions, but still plenty). On my first trip, I went with the spaghetti and meatballs (a classic), which was excellent. The tomato sauce tastes fresh, the meatballs are very flavorful, and the pasta excellent. My second trip was even better, starting with the pane cunzato (a bit pricy at $8 for a bit of focaccia, but still very tasty) and an eggplant parmesan special (made wonderfully and presented beautifully). Food comes out in around 10-15 minutes and is brought to you. I've not had much experience with the cocktail program, but the menu looks quite interesting. There are a handful of speciality cocktails, and a well thought out wine and beer list. There is also a rather long list of Italian sodas and mocktails, which should certainly appeal to those not looking to catch a buzz with their dinner. All that said, the pricing felt a bit steep relative to the rest of the menu. I understand that this is New York City, but a cheaper house red would certainly be appreciated. Even a Diet Coke clocked in at $5, which is just a bit much. I've not stayed for dessert yet, but they do offer it to you when you initially order, which is a helpful reminder and shows that they put some thought into the experience. Overall Pasta Night is very good, and could easily be both a date night or a quick evening meal. I will certainly be back to explore more of the menu.

    Tiramisu
    Dayo E.

    Was quite impressed by pasta night. Came for some casual pasta and stayed for the price. Very well priced items on the menu. We got the calamari, white bean dip, cacio e Pepe and tiramisu & decadent chocolate cake for dessert. Each item was quite tasty and very good. The service was pretty good as well. Overall cannot complain at all. I'll definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. I feel like they are prime for a neighborhood event to get the word out that they're there.

    Special cacio
    Ang M.

    Cheers to them trying a newish concept (fast casual pasta) in the 'hood. I think it works because the food was amazing. Concept is still working itself out but I am confident this place will be very popular soon. Also, wouldn't think other wise from the chef, Joseph Catalanotti, and owner of Ciao Gloria, Renato Poliafito. Simple well made pasta. I got the classic marinara and my wife got the special cacio e pepe. Don't sleep on the ceaser... Lemony and yummy.

    Cacio e Pepe
    Kristi W.

    Liking the concept. Order at the counter and get seated when there is a table available. Definitely a casual place with stellar food. Cacio e Pepe was a special tonight and it didn't disappoint! The Caesar salad is light and lemony with amazing croutons. The classic marinara came out piping hot and perfectly Al dente. It got really busy by the time we left around 7:30 so imagine there was quite a wait. Excited to have this new spot in the neighborhood. Lastly, but super important-every staff member was incredibly friendly and helpful. I'd come back just because of the hospitality.

My top-tier chum who…read moreliterally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by here Tuesday night prior to the Nets game for some light bites and cocktails - I refuse to buy the overpriced crap at Barclays, so this seemed like more than a good compromise. I also had multiple chums from Brooklyn endorsing this spot, so everything seemed to be lining up for an excellent night. Unfortunately, I'm starting to think you just can't go to places like this on a Tuesday, but maybe it was just a bad night. I got here way before my chum due to our work schedules, literally 45 minutes or so. It wasn't 6pm yet and while there were definitely customers in both the bar area and the backyard outdoor section, it was pretty chill. I was able to secure a small table next to the bar right by the open window in the front (probably because the sun was glaring down on it, which wasn't an issue 10 minutes later) and just chilled out for a while, enjoying the excellent warm weather. This was the highlight of the experience, which unfortunately my chum did not get to enjoy. A lot of this was just unfortunate timing, I think. As I was waiting for my chum, people were practically streaming into the bar, probably about 25 or so, which I watched with increasing trepidation. Pretty much all of them wanted a drink, and there was only one bartender. They did not fix that problem until well into my chum's visit, so there was literally just the one guy making a gazillion drinks for about 45 minutes. Just no reason for that at all, especially given that they DID have the resources to divert and had a young woman back there at a certain point. But once I saw how crazy it was getting, I tried to pre-emptively order a second round, which he forgot about and had to ultimately be reminded of. It took literally half an hour to get the second drink. When my chum arrived, she went up to the bar to order her own drink and some of the arancini. She came back 10 minutes later and said she wasn't given the opportunity - THAT is completely insane. If you're so swamped that customers have to wait that long to even order much less get their drinks, you need help. Not clear where the disconnect was, but what started out as a great experience pretty much crash landed. Really disappointing. The crowd did thin out ultimately but the damage had been done. We were able to get the drinks but didn't bother with the additional app because we didn't want to risk missing a big chunk of the Nets game. So by not being even remotely attentive for a significant period of time, they left money on the table. I will say that the bartender himself maintained his professionalism throughout, and just kept making the drinks. Pretty much the opposite of what would have happened on Bar Rescue. This was on management, not the bartender. The drinks WERE good, which also made the service problems a shame. I got the Witch Doctor, which featured bourbon, rosemary, maple and lemon. Really well made, and appropriate for the unseasonably warm evening - it's the kind of bourbon cocktail made for summer. Would absolutely get that again. And the food was very solid. The star of the night was the arancini, which were featured prominently on the apps menu right at the time and promoted as one of their big selling points - deservedly so. These were honestly some of the best rice balls I've had. The cheese in the middle emphasized the flavors and wasn't too dense or overwhelming, the balls were cooked perfectly, and the sauce (the underrated part of rice balls for me) was delicious. Huge recommend. I also got a margarita flatbread to share with my chum, and that was good as well. Everything was going to come up short to the arancini, but it hit the spot. As mentioned, this was a random Tuesday night when maybe they don't have their full crew ready to rock. Maybe it was a fluke crowd surge? I just don't know, but the bottom line was that they weren't prepared for the customers who came in and were already there, and that's a big problem. If you can't deliver the same quality that you do on the weekends and predictably busier times, then you shouldn't be open that early in the week. Hopefully they figure it out because there's a lot to like here.

I've made it a point to visit every vinyl listening bar that I learn of in town, after enjoying the shared experience of someone curating a select vinyl list in intimate spaces in Tokyo. Few have been able to replicate the experience, but Honeycomb Hi Fi Lounge comes close. That the space is narrow with just a few seats along the bar and a few tables mimics the Japanese experience best, where you can almost have it so the whole room is having one conversation together. The music is the focus. The cocktail menu is rather simple, and my Stormbringer drink, with dark rum and ginger beer was not anything to write home about, but $15 is pretty low for cocktails these days so I'll take it. If they introduced new cocktails to the menu with more interesting ingredients I'd be more inclined to return, but the vibes overall are pretty good and the staff really nice.

My friend and I each order a cocktail, and are catching up. I'm from Brooklyn, however I no longer live here, and this was precious catch-up time with my friend. Then I get interrupted mid-sentence by the old-timer DJ from his low seat in a corner behind the bar. I had bumped the bar with my wrist (bumped my wrist watch as well, not deliberately) and then placed my hand down (granted- more than placed but definitely not slammed), and he decided to warn me that I COULD HAVE made his record skip. It was the Eagles or Santana (far from eclectic, but that's just me). I'm also 99% certain he turned the volume up afterwards, making it even harder to enjoy the company. After that interaction, I struggled to pick it back up with my friend, because I found that distraction very effing rude. When this "4th wall" gets broken down with service, it is hard to then enjoy the space in an uninhibited state. I am all for the Tokyo Vinyl Bar vibe, and I'm also for also giving talent an outlet to share their collection, but this interaction colored my experience, and I closed out after one drink and went elsewhere. I mentioned this to the bartender, and he was kind to offer a buy-back of a rare whiskey, which I did accept. 5 stars for the bartender, but 1 for my experience. I don't like to be harsh or unnecessarily cruel, but this is what it is. I have visited in the past and enjoyed myself. Nonetheless, I certainly won't be coming back.
