    fioretti pasta (money bags)
    Julie Ying X.

    Patrizia's is definitely an old school place with a great family style prix fixe menu. $70 for 10 savory courses (burrata, pizza, eggplant, clams, calamari, octopus, shrimp, pasta, chicken parm, steak) plus dessert, unlimited wine, sangria, and beer was a great deal for NYC. It's an extra $5 for lamb chops (comes with the steak course), it's worth it. The atmosphere was very lively with birthdays every hour. The staff will sing and bring out the dessert with a sparkler. The best dish was the Fioretti pasta (money bags) which is their signature dish. I was full after 7 courses but I still ate it because mama did not raise a quitter. Service was very fast and friendly despite having to serve 34 people in our group. The only con is that there's not many bathrooms so better go to the bathroom early. I would come back!

    Service here is truly 10/10! The staff here are super friendly and welcoming. I ordered for pickup through the website and there was a glitch with the app, but they fixed it right away and even offered me a drink while I waited. Really appreciated how kind and attentive they were! I got a pasta and it came with bread and a side salad. The bread was so soft and even came with olive oil for dipping. I ordered pasta di Vinci that came with shrimp and some crab but I think I'm more of a carbonara girl so I would come back and get that next time plus a dessert! I had my pup with me since I was picking up to go and she got a bunch of compliments. She said she would come back for outdoor dining. The outdoor space is super cute and decorated with flowers. Overall, would recommend!

    Patrizia's is for the fun atmosphere that is perfect for any celebration. Their pre-fix menu makes it's so easy and great for large groups, so you find many people celebrating everything from birthdays to weddings here. After some research for dinner spots, Patrizia's was the most accommodating with no minimums or rental fees (although you will be celebrating with everyone else in the restaurant as they have no private rooms). I ended up having my wedding dinner here with a group of 17 and it was a blast! More than half of us arrived almost an hour early, but they easily accommodated our group with bread and sangria while we waited. The tables are in one long table, so that did make it a bit tricky getting in and out for some of us though for large groups. Otherwise, all the courses of food started rolling in once we started. For $70 per person, you get burrata, eggplant parmigiana, Margherita pizza, calamari toscano, shrimp, baked clams, grilled baby pulpo, meatballs, fioretti pasta, skirt steak, chicken parmigiana, dessert variety, and unlimited sangria, wine, and beer. The portions of food is a bit small, but with so many courses you do end up quite stuffed by the end of the meal. While I can't say the food was anything special, the entire experience made it worthwhile. They also had a photographer taking photos and then selling them framed. It was pricey at $22 per photo and a bit scammy, but many of us ended up getting it because it was a special occasion. They sure know their target audience. While a 20% gratuity was included, I was also charged an extra $56 operating fee, which was kind of random and unexpected. Overall, great spot for any celebration and will make planning super easy with a large group.

    Had dinner here last week for the first time. We had a 7 pm reservation and was seated right away. The atmosphere and ambiance reminded me of Carmines. We ordered calamari as an appetizer. The calamari was chewy as opposed to fried. I ordered the shrimp penne alla vodka pasta and my acquaintance ordered the spicy Rigatoni in pink sauce with crab meat. To be honest, although the hospitality here is phenomenal, the food isn't spectacular; it's okay. We had a bottle of rose as our choice of beverage. This is a place that was on my Williamsburg list for a while and I'm glad that I was able to give it a try.

    This was such a fun restaurant. Love the vibes and the celebratory ambiance. The staff knows how to have a good time but service was ok though but the atmosphere makes up for it. The food is decent nothing crazy but you go here to celebrate something and have fun in a huge group. Would definitely recommend

    Linguine?? Or Spaghetti? Smallest clams ever
    Ron K.

    Wow, this place has taken a nose dive from what it used to be. I should have known when I walked in and there were only maybe 20 people where it was always packed on a Friday night. Sangria was grape juice. $22 for 5 shrimp so overcooked the shells wouldn't come off, who leaves shells on a shrimp cocktail? When I was served spaghetti with my clams , I was told "no, that's linguine"! Really??? Last time dining here for shore. Not to mention raised prices "substantially ". No thank you.

    Ive been to 4 of patrizia's locations and the consistency across the board is amazing! be it dine in or take out! tried the rigatoni davinci and the toasted almond cake! so good! Ive been to Lower east side, Williamsburg, hicksville, and massapequa ! all good

    My coworkers and I decided to come here for a birthday celebration. The place itself is fairly large and it seems to be a good place to host events. They do have a pre-fixed menu - $70 per person with a variety of food (including appetizers, main meal and dessert) and it also includes unlimited wine and sangria. I will say the sangria was not very strong at all but if you eat / drink a lot this is a great menu to go with. Otherwise - I would recommend selecting items on the menu, the portion sizes are huge and all the food is pretty good. -Burrta: really yummy but nothing too special about this -Eggplant Parmigiana: this was pretty good and I'm not a huge fan of eggplants -Margherita Pizza: all their pizzas are very good but this one is my personal favorite -Calamari Toscano: another solid choice on the menu -Family Style Shrimp: Also yummy, the shrimps were huge -Baked Clams: Honestly not a huge fan of clams so I would not recommend this dish -Fioretti Pasta (Money Bags): So creamy and delicious - highly recommend this -Skirt Steak and Chicken Parmigiana: the skirt steak was absolutely delicious, great flavor and so tender Overall - great vibes and in the end they bring out a shared dessert platter which was really yummy. Would recommend coming here for a birthday celebration. It is on the more expensive side but if you can drink / eat a lot then highly recommend.

    Service service service! It was excellent from the second we came through the door. We ordered a couple of drinks a pizza, salad, and the bolognese. The food was the standard Italian, it was seasoned well and quite good. Will be back.

    So my father and his fiancé were visiting the town and wanted to set up a dinner and this time i wasn't in charge. (Wicked smile) Like who wants to set up reservations for 20 that actually turn into reservations for 12 and then 15 (I know right) sounds pretty chaotic. But you would not have known. This place managed my party so well like hats OFF! Between the large group, differing opinions and comings and going's I know it was a lot. And they had this PERFECT Pre-fixed menu of Italian freaking Awesomeness. (And I thought I wanted brunch). No- I want this. I want this right now as I write this review. I can't tell you everything that came but I do know that it was $65pp and had unlimited Sangria. I remember that perfectly. And then there were appetizers; baked clams, calamari, grilled octopus, bread, burrata... 5/5/5 And then there were pasta dishes to share. 5/5 Then there was pizza (here's where it started getting tricky for me). There was eggplant parmigiana, there was steak, the men had the lamb (I know right) some folks complained but at that point we were all full. 5/5 And then there was like a smorgasbord of desserts to choose from and cappuccinos and I lived to tell about it all. 5/5 It was the best thing for a large party shout out to my sister who set this up. Parked right outside. Clean, loud, funny, helpful, charming and top of the line excellent service. They had a photographer on site 5/5 my family loved that. The food was perfect it was so good every single little thing I got to try. I was stuffed. People took food home. It was worth every penny. 5/5 I would absolutely and highly recommend!!

    Parma Pizza

    Amazing Pizza.. the prosciutto thin sliced. Very tasty! Very Friendly service! Ambiance very nice.. if you want authentic Italian food that's the place!! Thank you so much!

    Do they allow dogs?

    Yes

    Many reviewers complimented the restaurant for the way they accommodate large groups. Can the outdoors accommodate a large group or inside only? If inside only, are they able to open windows for ventilation?

    They can accommodate a large group outside. But the windows and doors open on all sides for ventilation.

    How big are the portions? Like if I was to pay for 3 people for the family style would it feed 5 people if we're sharing bits of everything.

    They serve to however many people are in your party. Now if you guys are light eaters, it may be too much. Yes, if sharing. When we get to the pasta, some of it comes home, lol... Hope this helps.

    Do you guys have a private room?

    Nope

    Hi there? Can a group do a mix of family style and individual plates? Some of my party is allergic to the family style dishes. Can they order off individual menu items and not be charged the family price? Thanks!

    Why not? I am sure they will do whateva you ask, lol. That place is awesome.

The tables are not on top of each other and the noise is lively, but manageable. The food came out in a reasonable time, the bread was good. The hostess was disappointing. She acknowledged walk-in parties and later reservations of the same size that came in the door after us, lining up behind us. We had a reservation for 4. We arrived on time. This happened not once, not twice, but four times, the hostess looking past us to talk to people inline behind us or next to us, as if we were invisible. It wasn't until the 5th white couple she attempted to assist told her flat out that we were waiting before them, and the others she helped. I was looking for the owner or manager but thanks to this kind couple, that wasn't needed. Their blunt comments maybe embarrassed the hostess because only then did the hostess look at me rather than past me, and ask "how many..." she was ready to tell us there was no availability when I answered that we were a party of four as she looked around the dining room and gestured as if to say 'no seats'. I added that we had a reservation for 10 minutes ago. She asked my name and checked her tablet, then said "ok" and sat us at the table by the door. Once we were seated and situated, my young daughter looked up from her menu and asked me why was everybody else helped before us? She honestly didn't know. For those not familiar with having these types of conversations, let's just say that they can make even the best tasting pasta and pizza unsavory if you dwell on it. It's bad when a 7 year old notices they were "othered". Your mileage may vary, I'm sure there is more than one hostess working. I don't think I would recommend Barbalu to everybody unless you're getting take out, or you don't mind a "fight" to get service, assuming you insisted on eating here.

To preface, I'm not a big fan of Torrisi (overhyped and too many flavors being mixed), Misi went down the Carbone route and has gone downhill in the past 1-2 years, and Rezdora was really delicious, but they skimp on portions. L'artusi also in my opinion is decent, but doesn't have the wow factor to make me come back. I also tend to lean more toward authentic Italian tastes with less salt and el dente pasta (Alfredo also doesn't exist in Italy...) So, really, Ammazzacafe executed well in regard to portions and being generous. Their sauce with pastas was well seasoned, flavorful, and their pasta perfectly el dente with quality pasta. So far for Italian food, I recommend Don Angie, a Pasta Eater, Piccolo Cucina, a Pasta Bar, Rezdora, Forma Pasta, and Ammazzacaffe. Definitely will return to Ammazzacaffe - there's also a deli/coffee shop/bodega near Frost Street as their sister establishment in East Williamsburg by the way!

    Came here for Christmas dinner on Thursday. I searched for a restaurant semi-close to me that had…read moregreat reviews and was Italian. This was high up on my search, and with reviews like what they have, we decided to give them a shot. Its very easy to get to with a decent amount of street parking. Seems a bit out of place next to a deli on a residential block. You can kind of miss it if youre not paying attention. We were a party of 6 and had a 5 PM reservation. You have to pass through this dark curtain and go to the middle of the bar where the host will greet you and bring you to your seats. We were seated promptly with no wait. The restaurant is VERY small. So much so that at our table, all I had to do was reach my hand out and I would have been touching the kitchen counter. It does get a little crammed/crowded, but not in an annoying or unbearable kind of way. The vibe is actually really cozy and rustic. Very dim lighting so either whip out the flashlight on your phone or hold up one of the real candles they have on the table to read the menu. The food menu is straightforward and simple. They have an extensive wine list. I love how on the food menu, next to each dish, they tell you the region of Italy that dish gets its roots from. They have lovely dinnerware here. They brought out a foccacia bread for the table with a tomato dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious foccacia. The sauce was a tad too salty for me. I started off with the mocktail Luisa. It was passion fruit, lemon, agave, ginger beer, and mint. It was $10 and very fresh and mouthwatering! For my appetizer I had the Calamari alla griglia. Grilled calamari with guacamole and carasau bread. I've never had grilled calamari before. Only either marinara or fried. I also thought pairing it with guacamole was an interesting twist. I was so pleasantly surprised by this dish. The calamari were perfectly fork tender grilled. The guacamole went well with it. The carasau bread was more like a tortilla chip. They give you a decent amount for $24.95. That app slid down my throat effortlessly! For my entree I had the Maccheroncini alla Norma. Maccheroni with eggplant in tomato sauce with ricotta cheese. The pasta was so fresh and perfectly cooked. The sauce reminded me so much of my Calabrian grandmother's. The ricotta made it rich and creamy. Filling as well. So much so that, even though it wasn't a huge portion, I had to take home half of it because I was verging on being stuffed! My mother had the Cotoletta alla milanese. Keep in mind that if you get this chicken cutlet dish that it serves about four people, even though its for 1! HUGE portion. About 4 enormous cutlets that gave my mom 3 days of leftovers! All of the desserts were $12.95. A nice selection to choose from, but I had the classic Tiramisu. They make it here tableside. He made it with such care. Loved watching him put it all together. Let me tell you, that was the BEST Tiramisu that I've EVER had! Wow, just amazing. Very balanced, quality ingredients. The marscapone was so decadent, creamy and fresh. I could have easily taken down 2 of them! I tried some of my mother's chocolate cake. Delicious and decadent. Service throughout our dinner was above and beyond. Attentive, kind, concise and our waiter was such a cutie! Smooth sailing throughout the entire meal. We barely had to wait for anything. Amazing restaurant and staff. Prices are just fine and the quality goes way beyond. Can't wait to come back. Highly impressed and recommend!

This place does get busy so recommend making reservations if you can. They have a pretty nice wine list to choose from along with different cocktail options. From the start, the food was delicious starting with the house bread which was warm and soft but still felt light. For dinner, I ordered the special for the night which was cacio pepe ravioli, while my husband got the tagliatelle verdi con ragu. Both of our pasta dishes felt extremely fresh. The ravioli was unlike anything Ive had before, with flavorful cacio pepe filling and a butter sauce with pancetta complementing the flavor. The tagliatelle was also delicious in a more ragu centric way, still offering a good balance of flavor. Both dishes were pretty filling and so neither of us could finish it. We ended the night with cannolis, which was a pleasant surprise to find 3 came in 1 order. One side is pistachio while the other had a coco dusting. These were again delicious but pretty filling and sweet so we could only eat one. The staff here was also very friendly and service was quick with food coming out much faster than I expected. Overall I would come back and try even more on their menu.

But it is so loud you are literally yelling at your companions. Maybe they could turn down the music ? Regardless. We love this place!

    We had the best night at Michael's!…read more I knew Michaels was an iconic restaurant deep in Brooklyn. I've seen their sauce sold in stores before, and we finally made the trip out for dinner. We went around Christmas and it was decorated inside. The restaurant was packed. Every single table was full. Everyone was having the best time. Even the bar was totally full of people ordering drinks before they were seated. The food is classic, New York Italian. Everything is a very well done version. The veal Parm was one of the best I've ever had. The caramel cake at the end was truly beyond. I can't recommend this experience enough. We ate for three hours had amazing cocktails, great bottles of wine and a really delicious meal. Looking around, you could tell the diners were locals enjoying a beloved neighborhood restaurant. It's such a special restaurant that serves real New Yorkers.

    You can tell this is a staple Italian restaurant in Marine Park, Brooklyn. Lots of regulars and…read morefamilies. I always pass by and finally decided to try it out. The interior looks like a classic Italian restaurant and service is very formal. It was quite busy for a weekday night. There's valet parking so you don't have to stress about finding street parking nearby. We ordered fried calamari, baked clams, baked vodka penne, and the Fisherman's Platter. We were served bread and some antipasto to start. The calamari was a classic and I loved the sauce -- it had a good spicy kick to it. The baked clams were okay. The Fisherman's Platter is a must and good value with its generous portion of seafood. It can definitely be shared amongst two people. The baked vodka penne was also good but portion was on the smaller side. I would say Michael's is a must try at least once.

    Michael's - It was our first time trying the lobster dish - delicious and fresh. The baked dish tasted too burnt.

    I came to Lilia for dinner with my sister and we had a great time! We had a reservation, and…read moreeveryone was incredibly kind. The service was great, and our server gave us great recommendations. Inside has lots of seating and it is moody, more of a date-night vibe. We ordered three pastas and two appetizers. All were overall great! They are known for their focaccia, and it was good! Definitely one of the focaccia I have had, most end up being too oily but this was perfect. We also got the mussels, and they were good as well, the butter sauce it is dosed in is not too heavy and pairs well with the bread. The Mafaldini was the biggest portion size, and it was also good, but we preferred the other pastas more. The best pasta was definitely the agnolotti!! Though the portion size was smaller, every bite was so delicious. Overall we had a great time here!

    I've been dying to try this spot but was quite underwhelmed by the food. We got the focaccia to…read morestart which was good but nothing special. The mussels and agnolotti were probably the stars of the show. We also had the fettuccine with lamb sausage which was good but again, nothing special. Service wise, the staff was great and very attentive. The food came out extremely quickly so we were in and out of the restaurant which wasnt a bad thing but an observation. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to Brooklyn to come back but that is just my take! I'm glad I was able to experience.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I wonder how many 100 year old restaurants are still left in NYC. It can't be easy to stay true to who you are in this ever changing world. With today's social media heavy and influencer dominated marketing, this restaurant sits on a quiet street in Brooklyn just going about its business. Known as an Italian red sauce shop that served all walks of life, including possibly the mafia, this place has seen it all. If only the walls can talk, I could imagine all the stories it holds. Our friendly waiter has been there for 20+ years and shared some of his experiences and memories. It was a nice bonus to our meal for four. For appetizers, we had some Clams Oreganata (8/10), Fried Calamari (8/10), and Roasted Peppers w/ Anchovies (8/10). I would say that these three starters were the highlights of the meal. The entrees were not bad, just not as outstanding as their appetizer counterparts. My favorite of the bunch was the Eggplant Parmigiana (8/10), which was delicious and well made. The other three items, Pork Chop alla Bamonte's (6/10), Ravioli w/ Meat Sauce (7/10), and Rigatoni w/ Sausage & Broccoli Rabe (7/10), were all decent, but nothing special. By the end of the meal, four of us all agreed that it was a fun experience. With all the great options for Italian cuisine in NYC, it's not somewhere that stands out enough for regular visits. However, I would stop by if I was in the neighborhood.

    I think the only way to really express how great the food here is would be to simply say that you…read moreshould try it for yourself. Make a pact with yourself that before you die you experience culinary paradise. Maybe it's laying it on thick for some of you but my dish of veal scarpariello was the best thing I've ever had at any Italian restaurant ever. Nor do I think that is an exaggeration at all. The veal was thin enough and with an equally thin layer of eggplant and mozzarella covering it and emerssed in a white wine sauce I couldn't decide what part was my favorite. I still can't decide but I will say I must go back and try it again. I thought that the dish looked small but I couldn't even finish half of it pan my own even though it was compelling me to devour the entire thing! Truly, don't even think of going without trying that dish for yourself. The staff was some of the most attentive I've ever come across. We had fresh plates and silverware after every course. We didn't need to look for a waiter at all for they were there seeing to our every need. And the patrons all looked like they were enjoying a special night out because this is truly a special place. Great food, great atmosphere and a wonderful night out!
