Updating this review with a highly deserved 5 stars. So we came back after Paul, one of the owner, left a voicemail apologizing deeply for our previous sad experience. We decided to give it a second chance and to go with a business associate. We were really well welcomed as anyone else in this small and homy neighborhood restaurant. We had an experience like we've never had so far in NYC. Besides the excellent hospitality and service , they have excellent food. We came over for brunch and received couple of mimosas (mango, pear, grapefruit and peach), a charcuterie plate with Italian dry meats and a taste of 3 kind of cheese. It was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend. Plus it was served with the "carnivale bread" like my hubby's momma used to make. So a 5 stars right there. But that is not it. I really wanted to try the lasagna AND the panettone toast kebab. So we decided to all share the meat lasagna and we got the steak, the salmon Benedict and the panettone toast. Mama mia ! Another 5 stars. Honestly I haven't had a good lasagna in 6 years (Except the one that is homemade by my husband) and they nail it. Perfect cooking time, perfect pasta texture and perfect meat-tomato sauce. And to our greatest satisfaction, they serve their pasta with a jar of grated parmigiano. No need to say how delighted we were. The panettone, according to my taste and cooking skills, was such a creative idea! The mix between fresh fruits, the panettone panned and the light red fruit coulis was delicious and subtle. I didn't even put syrup on it. It would have been an insult to the whole dish. The steak was perfect temperature (medium rare), the scrambled eggs seemed to be good as well and the salmon Benedict was devoured. Well, 5 stars strike again ! And, as beautiful adding gesture, we received the homemade apple pie. We did not think we would be able to have room for it. But we actually didn't need room. Crispy from outside and so melty from inside. It was really delicious to. To the owner : thank you for having called back and left the voicemail. We are glad that we came and gave that second chance. Thank you as well for your kind hospitality and an environment where guest satisfaction is your priority. It is very rare nowadays. To any Yelper : we highly, highly recommend this place for either brunch or dinner. From start to finish you will have a wonderful experience both in terms of the food and the service/hospitality. 5 STARS for everything ! read more

Super awkward when you walk in. Is there a host? Don't think so. Will a waiter or waitress greet you, no they won't look at you. You are forced to hover behind the two tables crammed next to the door until you feel awkward enough leave and find something else. Ate here once before and the food was great, but the last couple of times we got tired of the awkward wait. read more

I love this spot--cool vibes, chill waiters, and great food. Perfect for date night. Also good for brunch: no wait and the steak and eggs are delicious. (Shoutout to Lamar and Paige for making our Sunday brunch top notch!) read more

I truly enjoyed my visit. The atmosphere was romantic and the food was clearly made from scratch. My bolognese fettuccine was to die for. I will be returning for this dish. read more

Awesome place (near Brooklyn Steel!) to grab a drink or a bite. Bottles of wine are cheap, around $30 which is always a plus. The crostinis are really good too! read more

Amazing food! Friendly service! Inspiring ambiance! Calamari and zucchini were the best I've ever had. Large outdoor seating area. You won't be disappointed. read more

Truly one of my favorite places in New York. The food, drinks and staff are excellent and the vibes are warm and welcoming. So grateful for this wonderful, reliable neighborhood spot! read more

At my favorite spot with the family. Travis, PJ Kevin and of course my favorite server Rick keep up the great work. Much LOVE

Every time I came here for dinner this winter the menu was just pasta pasta pasta... it's made in house and definitely good, but kind of chewy and the ratio of pasta to sauce is tilted too far in the pasta direction. The bruschetta is dank but wow the pieces of bread are tiny!! It's like you get one delightful bite of some fancy fig with cheese and then it's gone. The staff really is amazingly kind. read more

Super place, great coctails, enjoyed the relaxed williamsburg's ambiance. Will be back :)

Went for Mother's Day brunch today, and could not imagine a more wonderful time. The food was excellent, service was on-point, and ambiance was warm and lovely. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Loved everything about this place! The staff, the food, the wine, the decor. We had dinner on Friday night and returned on Sunday for brunch. This has become our new "go to" resturant! read more

A little noisy but hey new Yorkers it's your fault for being so loud ... Anyway. Great food, pasta cooked al dente, that say they had a special black ink tagliatelle I think, and it was just soooooo delicious, my friend was so jealous if my dish (although her was actually quiet good!) Tiramisu was I must admit disappointing ... I wanna come back to to have those pasta again!! read more

Stumbled upon this little gem on my way home the other night. Handmade grass fed beef ravioli were on point. Great wine selection and cozy ambience. Bartender and staff were welcoming and fun. Can't wait to try their brunch! (Also they have an awesome bar that just opened, hidden just behind it, with live music several nights a week!) read more

This place was so much fun. Great background music. I had the peach mimosa and it was just what I needed to start my birthday off. I order the french toast kabobs and that was the most slamming meal I ever had. It was so good with the fruits, the scrabbled eggs, and bacon. The best part was that their menu is a marble composition notebook. Sooooo cute and funny. read more

Had a very pleasant experience here eating with two friends. We ordered: -The calamari appetizer which was actually a mixture of fried calamari, shrimp and zucchini served with a house-made pomodoro sauce. Quite delish and I liked that there were a variety of textures and flavors. -The grilled lamb chops with roasted potatoes and sauteed spinach was delicious and cooked perfectly. The potatoes were perfectly salted and the hint of rosemary was a nice touch. -The gnocchi with bolognese sauce was pretty good. I thought the texture of the gnocchi themselves was a tad off but the overall flavor of the dish was yummy. -The meat lasagna with bolognese sauce was my favorite dish of the night - hit the spot on a super cold night. Parts of the meat were a little overcooked on the edges but combined with the pasta and sauce you could barely notice. -The side of asparagus with parmesan came a bit to cold and the only flavor seemed to come from the cheese - the asparagus themselves did not seem to have any salt or pepper. The restaurant also gives you bread with olive oil at the beginning of the meal and will grate fresh parmesan for your entrees which I always love. We took advantage of the wine special on a bottle of rioja for $40 and downed two of them with our meal. Overall had a great time, just had to dock a star because of the couple of things I noted above and the fact that I had to keep my puffer jacket on throughout the meal because the inside temperature was a bit chilly. read more

I would rank this as a very solid 4.5 stars 5 stars for the food and price. The half star is missing because service was not as awesome as everyone said but it was still good. This would be my breakfast go to spot for my "perfect" breakfast combo. I love waffles. What that means is I get waffles and Ringolevio serves it with eggs and bacon as a dish. Because most places will just serve you a big plate of waffle and nothing else. The only thing I wish they had more of is brunch drink selection as well. They serve mimosa and I think bloody mary but I wish there are more mixed drinks on the menu. read more

I tried this place out because of the yelp hype. The decor has an estate sale vibe (penny farthing wine rack / lamp?). The brunch offerings are the standard fare. My wife got the bacon egg sandwich and I got the cheddar omelet. Both had problems, the bacon was limp and my omelet was way over cooked. The sides are some sad crinkle cut fries, overdressed lettuce topped with box grated carrot. I don't think we'll be back. read more

Cool little spot with big front windows and lot of sunshine. My girlfriend, her roommate and I came here on a Saturday around noon and the place had a few people in there but definitely not overwhelming. Only a few tables and few bar spots, but it was spacious. I got eggs Benedict which were really awesome, but I should have gotten the chicken and waffles which looked so good. Service was really great and everyone was super nice. Definitely a great morning spot. Will go again. read more

Started the night horribly across the street at another Italian restaurant. We had a reservation there but after walking in they seemed to not know what a reservation was. We were left standing there confused if we were going to get a table, so we left. Saw this cozy little place across the street so we gave it a shot. A total 180. Everything was decorated nicely, the staff was inviting, great ambiance; an incredible difference from the cafeteria feel of the other place. The food. Everything was delicious. I tried one of their shrimp specials and tasted their sausage special. Not was heavy as you'd expect most Italian food and everything was super fresh. My aunt had the pork chop which was over cooked. They took it back and cooked her another plate, which came out perfectly, apologized and comp'd her meal. As a gym/health food guy Italian food is usually a big negative for me, but this place wasn't bad. Natural ingredients, amazing service and great tastes. read more

I wasn't expecting this place to be so good. We couldn't decide what to order because everything sounded so good so we kind of ordered a bit of everything. And it was as good as it sounded. The way this place is decorated is mismatched furniture and it gives the place so much character. We love this place! read more

Place is very small but service is great, drinks are not watered down, and food is amazing. Both brunch and dinner menus are bomb.

I ordered takeout but would love to come back for a sit down dinner. Fantastic service, very nice restaurant with an intimate romantic vibe. And food was pretty good. Would definitely come here again. Thanks. read more

This place has pretty decent food but the service can be seriously lacking sometimes. Sometimes I'll go in, have a good meal, and everything is fine, and I'm out quickly, but more often than not, the service is pretty spotty and a meal here can take a while. I'm mostly referring to brunch in this review. If the service was better, this place would greatly benefit, I just don't think they care enough to actually make it better. read more

Never a disappointment the food is consistently great. The staff is very pleasant n attentive. I absolutely love this place. read more

This place was a really cute restaurant for bunch. Great food and friendly and attentive staff. It was a significant struggle trying to decide between the lox Benedict and the chicken and waffles but, luckily, as my friend was similarly torn we split both. Highly recommend both dishes but the chicken and waffles won by a hair. read more

This place was amazing. It may be a bit too noisy in the front room for some, but for me, it was perfect. So was the food. The service left something to be desired and they only had one beer on tap (thankfully it was a delicious, local IPA) but the food outdid everything. My wife ordered a beet side with an eclectic and funky arugula salad for her entree and I indulged in the special, which was a tagliatelle perfectly cooked, in a bolognese sauce. DELICIOUS. I won't say much for the back room other than to take a peek - it's very interesting. read more

Came to NY for the weekend and saw the great reviews and atmosphere. Our server, Lola, friken crushed it! Asked for a reservation for 9. They were super accomodating and overall great time. read more

Grew up in this neighborhood but now live in manhattan. Heard about this place and have been wanting to try for so long, but has Always been booked solid. Made it there tonight and as I walked through the door greeted by rick it became my favorite place. The food is amazing. The crostini was great- we had the artichoke, the prosciutto and the braserole? All superb. I had the special red snapper - so fresh and cooked to perfection. My friends had the lamb chops and the pork chops. Wow. In spite of the bustling crowd the service was so friendly and professional at the same time. Looooove this place. Can't Wait to try their brunch. read more

Gem. Ambiance is amazing and unique. Food is fantastic. Service is decent. The bar in the back is probably the most vibrant space I've ever had a drink. Even the bathrooms are amazing. Go to there. read more

Meh. I wanted to like this place - it looks SO charming and cozy and I care so much about atmosphere when I go out to eat. And it wasn't bad, it was just that both my dinner and my roommate's was really underwhelming - the kind of thing I would be able to cook easily for myself on a weeknight. I'm not exactly a bad cook, so that's not a super critical comment, maybe I should give them another go. But when I bother to buy dinner at a restaurant I would like it to be something I wouldn't really be able to make myself. Grilled lamb kabob with veg that was exactly what it sounds like, also pasta with sausage and broccoli that was also exactly what it sounds like. read more

Ringolevio - Yummy! - Mediterranean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This excellent restaurant started out above expectations when they say us only 30 minutes before closing. Followed up by letting us know kitchen was about to close (in 5 minutes), but still let us order. Wine was delicious, and food came quickly and was incredible. Had a delicious gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce, and the standout was a pork chop with apple chutney that was perfectly spiced, and every bite was amazing. Very nice atmosphere for a date as well. Lovely service, totally recommend! read more

This place hours of operation need to be updated. When headed to a late dinner we were surprised to hear the kitchen closed. Very rude about it read more

One of my favorite places in the neighborhood. Great homemade pasta, perfect funky atmosphere.... I LOVE having this place so close to home! Reminds me of Wynwood Miami read more

Came here on a Saturday night from 10pm-12am. Took us about half an hour to get a drink from the bar, both times. Ambiance was nice but service was super slow and was told that I wasn't allowed to order food in the large back section when people were being served food at the table in the corner. The two stars are only for the ambiance. read more

I'm honestly so confused this place is so highly reviewed. I'll give credit to the burrata and mussels which were OK and then my friends and I had the following: the equivalent of pre-packaged salad (arugula and pear salad), "poached" chicken or the most overlooked chicken slathered in balsamic sauce, mushroom tagliatelle or over cooked, naked tagliatelle with mushroom splayed over it, and half decent meat lasagna. We were very confused by the quality of food against the atmosphere and capacity of clientele. There are so many better restaurants, by far, in the neighborhood. We left sad and disappointed. Service was sub par as well. read more
