    Squid ink pasta
    Steph S.

    I had the squid ink pasta (black pasta) and it was so good! You really feel like you're in Italy the moment you step inside. Service was phenomenal. The restaurant is really beautiful.

    We got the corn insalate, the black spaghetti with the chorizo, and spaghetti with Manila clams. The corn salad was refreshing and healthy. The black spaghetti was recommended by the waitress over the blue crab black spaghetti and no regrets, it was tasty! Everything tasted good and was received timely. Would definitely go back!

    I had an incredible dining experience at Piccoli Trattoria! This cozy little spot absolutely nails that intimate, authentic Italian vibe, and every dish I tried was outstanding. To start, I had the fig jam crostini--the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The creamy cheese paired with the fig jam on crispy bread was a flawless opener. For the main course, i had the duck. Cooked beautifully--crispy skin, juicy meat, and complemented by a flavorful sauce. It's not something you see on every menu, and they executed it perfectly. I finished with the tiramisu. Light, airy, just the right amount of espresso and cocoa--it was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommend if you're in Brooklyn and craving quality Italian!

    Squid ink risotto, pork chop, and duck ragu
    Ashley M.

    Pretty good Italian spot! I think the key to having a good time here is to pick the right items. We LOVED the fettuccine, thought the squid ink risotto was great, but the pork chop and duck ragu weren't worth it. I also thought the initial bread was very undercooked and the tapenade was un flavorful (despite having black olives). I think this place has a few standout dishes, but not everything is incredible.

    (4.9/5) It's rare for a corner spot in 11215 to feel like a teleportation spell, but Piccoli Trattoria managed to drop me straight into the middle of Italy, not the tourist-splashed piazzas, but the kind of small, humming family-run place where the pasta is handmade, the wine is house-poured and honest, and nobody minds that your dogs are curled up off-leash beside you. Started off with the fig jam, prosciutto di Parma & gorgonzola bruschetta, strong opening act. The fig and prosciutto were vibing, but the gorgonzola decided it was Beyoncé. Still: tasty, rich, indulgent. Main was a squid ink linguine special, like a love letter from the Adriatic. Heavy on clams (more than mussels or shrimp), which I was not mad about. Deep flavor, perfectly cooked pasta, zero complaints. Dessert? I think I had the torta d'olio, olive oil cake with orange zest and crème anglaise. Whatever it was, it slapped. Subtle, moist, not too sweet, dessert like Italians intended. Did they have Baileys? Nope. Did I care? Not really. They offered me an espresso and an espresso martini, and that felt like a culturally respectful compromise for a man like me: American by birth, Italian in my stomach. Bonus points for solid house red. Extra bonus: they let Frida chill off-leash, just like in Paris. Everyone wins. Final take? If you're hungry for something sincere, intimate, and quietly incredible, this is your place. Just don't be surprised if you leave speaking in vowels and craving Amalfi sun. Corner of 14th & 6th Ave. Bring an appetite. Maybe a dog. Definitely a memory.

    We came back!!!! This place is our favorite! Their food is flavorful and on point! You have to give it a try!

    I love this neighborhood spot in our area. The food is on point and on Mother's Day Sunday, they were able to manage myself plus my kiddos. They were quick to prioritize my hungry kids' orders and we were served promptly. One of kids refuses to eat anything but penne alla vodka. So I kindly ask if they can make something close to that and they obliged :) We had dessert as well which was a bit of a miss and always room for improvement- the mini cannolis special of the day were a miss as the cookie had a weird flavor and the cream wasn't flavorful. We also ordered a Chocolate Tartufo and we really wanted to like it. However, the chocolate cake was off putting. We finished it of course. The staff were above and beyond friendly. I do love their risotto so I will be back!

    The BEST spaghetti and clams I've EVER tasted
    Melissa R.

    I've given alot of 5 star reviews, but when I eat at a place like this, I realize I've been far too generous. This place is well deserving of 5 stars plus. Literally the BEST Italian food & service I've ever had, hands down. And I live in an area that has tons of Italian options but drive to Park Slope for this gem. I HIGHLY suggest over ordering. The GRILLED CALAMARI appetizer is seasoned to perfection and sits on top of arugula and marinated onions that taste better than pickled. The SPAGHETTI W CLAMS is the best I have ever had in my life. Again, seasoned to perfection. I have it every time I visit. The FIG JAM BRUSCHETTA appetizer is to die for. And get the TIRAMISU. It's more cream than cake & so well done. The staff is also beyond lovely. I need to slow down my visits for my waist line, but damn. This place is worth it.

    Lychee martini, house wine
    Cathy K.

    Cute small neighborhood spot with surprisingly good service, not rushed at all. We were seated before everyone in the party arrived. Bartender offered drinks right away, they also have some daily specials like a lychee martini which was surprisingly strong in a good way ;) black spaghetti with shrimp was my favorite, had a nice spicy arrabiata sauce, and I think some crispy pancetta bits for texture. Tiramisu was so good, very rich and thick. There was one desert that ran out, so whatever that was must be amazing too. On a cute residential street, outdoor seating was nice even on a cooler night. There was a wait for Friday night for dinner. Good idea to make reservations if you can.

We started with the Crocchette and the Polpo. For entrees we got the Pappardelle Al Funghi and the Agnolotti Del Plin. For dessert we shared the Panna Cotta. All the food was excellent. Octopus was cooked perfectly. The Crocchettes were super flavorful. Both pasta dishes were divine! We actually switched plates halfway through the meal so we could enjoy both dishes. The Panna Cotta was the perfect ending. We made a reservation about a week in advance to be safe. I'm glad we did because the restaurant filled up quickly after opening.

I wasn't even that hungry but had to beg my friends for some of their food after finishing mine because they saw how little my dish served. The smoked spaghetti was way too woody tasting in my opinion, too. Service was awesome - we may have been a bit rowdy as a group for our birthday girl, but our server was awesome and even brought out a tiramisu and ice cream for us. Thank you!!

I ordered the Portia cocktail... if you like Mezcal, you should definitely try this one. Smoky and a little sweet, it was a delicious drink We order Pinsa Bianca for appetizers, the bread, roasted peppers and whipped ricotta all made for a light but delish start. We then dove into the rib-eye (for 2) DELICIOUS ! One of the best steaks outside of a steakhouse I have had. The marbling gave it great flavor, salted well and the perfect char on the outside, it was accompanied by French fries and broccolini. All a great addition; The broccolini was surprisingly not too bitter which was nice. To round it off we ordered their version of a Lemon tart! It was the perfect level of sweet and tart!

All were excellent. The carbonara could have used a bit of pepper and a bit more pecorino. Guanciale? Or bacon? Also had the scallops which we loved. I ordered a Bellini but it was not a Bellini. No peach. Just a cherry - odd. The Lemon scone was the best we have had - served with cream and lemon curd. Amazing The Carmel custard dessert - was rich but a bit one note. It did come with a crunchy buttery cookie. The ice creams were homemade. The restaurants is lovely. Food wonderful. Service friendly and quick. But it is so loud you are literally yelling at your companions. Maybe they could turn down the music ? Regardless. We love this place!

Like the conchiglie lemon squeezer, penne pan holder, and the mafaldine kitchen ties. This review may be spoiling someone's gift coming up, but such is life. All that aside, I'd still come in if it was a panini counter and nothing more. There is an extensive menu of options that I am only starting to make my way through. My first choice was the Parma, which is a generous amount of homemade pork shoulder, fresh tomato, truffle pecorino cheese cream, and a little drizzle of truffle oil as well. It was hot, it was rich, it was delicious. It came recommended by the lovely woman behind the counter, who was very sweet, if not very talkative. There's even a backyard and seating area if you don't want to take it home. If I had any criticism for Tavola, it's minor: I would like some acid on that sandwich to cut the richness (some pickled red onions would go a long way), and I would like everything in the market to be about 20% less expensive, because I want it all and I could really only afford a sandwich and some very nice pasta that I'm excited to make.
