Took a trip to Brooklyn for my birthday weekend and found this gem on Yelp. We popped in for brunch on Saturday. I had the Panettone French Toast Kabobs and my bf had the Steak and Eggs with Rosemary Potatoes. Everything was amazing! No complaints at all. A really great portion of food for the price. The place itself is super charming! Decorated with very unique and antique gems. You can sit at the counter, at a table inside or outside in a backyardish,patio type of area! The staff was great too. Definitely stop by if you haven't yet! read more

Ringolevio - Mediterranean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I feel like Ringolevio is that all in one place you didn't know you were looking for. Came here for brunch with a friend and we sat in their enclosed outdoor space, which was very cute. In addition to the outdoor seating area, they have quite the sizeable "chill" area, I imagine for either private parties or for weekend rowdiness. The food was pretty good, got the eggs and a few bloody marys (cause I gotta have my bloody marys do you feel me). My only complaint is that the chairs were a little uncomfortable. Very small and not suited for anything but very small butts. read more

Brunch review only and it's pretty sad. Chicken and waffles were pretty disgusting. Waffles were soggy and tasteless. Chicken is chicken breast strips, which were dry and drenched in a hot sauce. Got scrambled eggs on the side and they don't even know how to make scrambled eggs... It's not fluffy and broken into a million little pieces. Service was extremely slow. read more

Food is alway amazing and super special- my fave is the vegetarian lasagna - and I'm not even vegetarian. Ambiance is awesome- super tucked away spot but really great place when u wanna hang out with a large group. read more

I love this place! Vibes are so good, bartender is so nice. They have great sandwhiches in the morning and little pastries and then the atmosphere changes to a bar at night! read more

Burrata to start, skirt steak medium-rare for the entrée, pie for dessert. There, you just had one of the best dinners ever, you're welcome. Also, brunch there is just as excellent. French toast kebabs were fun and delicious, and the eggs were poached perfectly --no hyperbole-- perfectly. Whomever is doing the cooking here really, really knows what they're doing. The only slightest knock I have on this place is that it's pretty cold inside. I get it, it's winter and 20 degrees outside, but it'd be easier to bear if the heater was cranked a little more to help. read more

Ringolevio - French toast kebab with poached eggs for brunch - Mediterranean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I live right up the street and I've been here twice and I feel comfortable saying that this is the best restaurant in the neighborhood. Both times I spent more than 2 hours there. The dinner that we had was incredible (steak, gnocchi, and various bruschettas) and we had wonderful service. Brunch was the eggs Benedict with prosciutto, french toast with eggs, and a special of sweet potato, beets, kale, eggs and goat cheese and lots of mimosas and it blew every other brunch out of the water. The staff are incredibly friendly and passionate about the restaurant, which shows in their service and quality. Very comfortable atmosphere. Ringolevio is highly recommended and will not disappoint. read more

I swear something in my heart just told me that the first time I came here it was just a "not so good" day and I knew I was right... My 2nd visit to Ringovelio definitely made up for my first and opened a path for my future visits. Upon entry my best friend and I were greeted by our same waiter from last week who was happy as shit to see us (I don't blame him we look that good). HA! The restaurant wasn't as busy I'm guessing because it was the Memorial Day Holiday weekend. We were starving so we literally ordered everything on the menu: Apps.- an assortment of meat and cheeses (my fav. was the Moses Sleeper and I hope I remembered it correctly. Really some of the best cheese ever) and the spinach salad which had a lemon vinaigrette dressing that you could literally die for. Entrée- I switched it up this time and had the special of the day which was the bacon, egg, and cheese burger. I rarely eat beef so maybe my judgment isn't credible but this burger was GOODT! Yes, emphasis on the T. It came with a refreshing side salad and a nice portion of fries that I probably didn't need. They give you a side of homemade chipotle sauce I think it was, spread that badboy across the board and you won't have no worries. My best friend had the spinach and goat cheese omelet and she loved that as well. (By the way...this place has a lot of vegan options for you lovely vegans out there). Dessert- (Don't judge us we were hungry and this was cheat day) We had the blueberry pie which was a combination of some buttery flaky crusts with a sweet blueberry filling that'll drive you right on home when it comes to surpassing your daily calorie intake. This time around the mimosas were flowing freely, Rick (our waiter) calmed down on his intake of mimosas (jk guys but he had better game today like Curry in game 7), and everything came out piping hot and in a timely manner. Can't wait to try this place out for dinner :-) read more

Came here this past Friday before seeing The Neighbourhood at Brooklyn Steel...what a fantastic place! We ordered the Crostini's (all of them), the Gnocchi Bolognese, Mushroom Tagliatelle, and roasted beets as a side. Everything was just fantastic. The Crostini's were amazing and all had excellent toppings and flavors. My wife wanted to try some of my Gnocchi and ended up keeping the bowl for herself...it was that good. I didn't mind at all, because the Tagliatelle was just delightful, and the beets and cheese were a great side. I had a Bourbon Cider which was made excellent and not watered down, and my wife had a seasonal Red Ale which was great. The space is really beautiful...loved the vibe as well as service. Service was extremely friendly, well paced, and really set the tone for a great night. An amazing pre-concert spot and just great place overall! This is truly a spot everyone should try! read more

I don't know how long you've lived around the BQE area of Williamsburg but let me tell you, we waited a while for a go-to cozy corner spot w/ warm vibes and delicious eats. Ringolevio is just about as good as it gets. The Ringo team is doing something right. The menu (with it's great explanation of WHAT Ringolevio is: a tag-style game played in the teeming streets of NYC way back when) highlights feel good classics (handmade gnocchi w/ gorgonzola cheese sauce + poached chicken breast entree) with a fun approach to aesthetic design. There is something to be said when a new joint comes to our neighborhood.... Ringo does not disappoint! Don't miss the the awesome, quirky bathroom art. I'd totally live in that funky washroom! read more

OMG when I read these reviews I was like "Let me find out if this place is really THIS GOOD" YESSSSSS THEY ARE. Food ~ Some of the best steak and lasagna in brooklyn ...I've never had blueberry pie in my life until tonight and I am officially hooked (on theirs at least) Service ~ THE BEST IVE HAD IN BROOKLYN. WOW, having the owners there makes all the difference in the world because nothing is less than perfection when it came to attentiveness and food presentation Ambiance ~ OMGGGGG shout out to the Dj that plays everything from bachata to ice cube! I loved the music selection even tho I'm sure some of the patrons that night may have not been ready lol! But it showed me that my business means as much to them as the other patrons ~ I love that this place is right in my area! I've already made it my regular spot! read more

Recently checked this place out for brunch. It's really decently priced and you get a lot of food for not a lot of money. I tried my friend's waffles and they were just okay- I got pancakes and they were a little better. Another friend ordered cheese grits that just had a huge glob of cheese melted on top (no complaints there...) and rosemary potatoes that had no rosemary on them. It took a very long time for our food to come out, but maybe we were just really hangry. Would come back and check out the area next door to hang out with friends! read more

One of my new favorite spots in all of Brooklyn! I was highly impressed by the overall service, decor, the freshness of food, and the affordable prices. The owner Paul was very welcoming and told me about the history of the restaurant. The decor is very cute and whimsical. It's like all of the unique decor you would buy at a Salvation Army or an overpriced thrift store and put in your house. I promise you the ambiance is cozy with candles and the perfect place you would bring a date. The tables and the bar are made from reclaimed wood from an old bowling alley. For $19 I bought a grass fed grilled skirt steak, mashed potatoes and seasonal farm fresh vegetables. It was absolutely delicious! I have been here numerous times and always loved my experience! Even for brunch is was wonderful. read more

This is def my favorite dinner spot in Brooklyn: I find myself craving for their grilled salmon or affogato, and their spiked spritz is the ultimate panacea for a bad day. It's a place with a soul. The magical interior design speaks for itself. I would move in there if I could. read more

My husband and I were on the Williamsburg end of Greenpoint and stumbled upon this place while waiting to pick up our pup from the groomer. Space: Very eclectic! It's that sort of restaurant just full of stuff. You aren't entirely sure where the stuff came from but damn if they don't have at least one piece of everything. We were seated immediately and without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon at 1 PM. We were lucky - no wait but that changed during out visit. They got much busier and people who were entering as we were leaving were waiting. Service: the service was good no complaints at all. They all seem to help everyone and each other which I think tends to make for a better dining experience. Food: In the spirit of trying a ton of different food items my husband and I tend to get two separate dishes and then split them. Today we chose the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Chicken Pesto Sandwich (both came with fries and a simple salad). The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich just wasn't much of anything - a fried piece of chicken with hot sauce. Not really worth it. The Chicken Pesto Sandwich was very good. The chicken was grilled and the pesto on the sandwich was plentiful and very good. We both decided the Chicken Pesto Sandwich was the winner by a landslide. I would be very interested in returning and checking out the back room. It's a large space with a bar, couches, and again a collection of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Overall, pretty good find and a nice spot to check out. read more

Best pasta dish I've had in a long time. I ordered the special, homemade tagliatelle with mussels. Wonderful texture, perfect al dente. The mussels weren't wet. Accompanied by a wonderful French rose wine, a Gerard Bertrand Gris Blanc. Very pale and tasty. My date had lasagna and sautéed spinach. Both excellent. The bread was meh, but I'm a bread snob. Served with a very tasty olive oil. We also had tiramisu and it was excellent. The restaurant is laid back and has a cool vibe. The service was also very attentive. GO! read more

To begin with, the bottomless mimosas are worth it! $8 for unlimited mimosas. If that in itself doesn't convince you to try this place, I don't know what will. I had maybe 7 of them....so this review might be a little biased, but my brunch was BOMB. I went to NY for vacation and this was my first stop (recommended by one of our friends). I got the prosciutto omelette, which came with a side of crinkle fries and a simple salad. The omelette was a little bit on the smaller side, but it tasted great and the fries and greens were a nice touch. The staff was really sweet and welcoming. They were also on point with service and refilling our drinks. Oh and btw, they only serve brunch on weekends! read more

Ringolevio - Not sure why I don't have a better pic.... - Mediterranean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

the atmosphere is very cute so perfect for girls night. I wasn't big fun of foods (burger was fine but I have no respect for frozen crinkle cut fries) nor drink (cucumber margarita was weak). read more

Amazing atmosphere, service, drinks, pasta, and meat/cheese plate. But the best part were the Brussel sprouts! We will be coming back here.

This place seems really cool. The atmosphere is pretty Williamsburg-hipster-y, but in a good way. They have lots of cool art and plants all over the inside and outside and the menus are in old composition notebooks. All the food I saw come out looked really good and everything I tasted was amazing and super high quality. I had the mushroom tagliatelle and although I don't love mushrooms generally, it was very good as the mushrooms were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Ringolevio makes their own pasta and my tagliatelle was very good and my friend's spinach ravioli was also very delicious. I always have so much respect for places that make their own pasta. They had lots of tapas and dishes that would be good to share. The cocktails were a touch pricey at $12, but they were very unique and all super tasty. We tried the basil lemonade (my favorite), the spritz (a bit too sweet for me), and the ginger caipirinha (a little spicy, but pretty good). The price of the cocktails were totally balanced out by the reasonable prices for the pasta dishes-- only $13. Overall, I'm a big fan and I plan on going back and hope to take my parents when they visit, so 4 stars!! read more

We went here for brunch on a quiet Sunday midday. It was relatively packed but we only waited about 5 - 10 minutes to be seated. The service was a little slow but very attentive. It is a really solid brunch spot. I had the Omelet and my boyfriend had the Pancakes and we ordered a Trio of Burgers for the table. Everything was really tasty and the portions were really filling for brunch. We decided to have the Apple Crisp/Pie for desert and it was really delicious. Overall, this is a great place for a great brunch. I would definitely be back again. read more

I loved this place for brunch! They serve all the typical amazing breakfast foods that are tasty and delicious. I must say though, I came back for dinner one night and wasn't as impressed, there are much better options for authentic Italian food in bklyn. With that said, I may give them another try, maybe they were just having an off night. read more

Ringolevio - Mediterranean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Nice vibe. The only decor descriptors I can think of are "decrepit-chic," at least outside. Very busy on the Sat before Mother's Day. Husband had the special spaghetti and I had the mushroom tagliatelle. We thought the spaghetti was a little bland and the noodles technically too thin for a standard spaghetti noodle, which I don't think is that big a deal if the food is good. My pasta was way too dry, although the noodles were cooked perfectly and the mushroom an interesting yet insufficient flavor accent to the dish. The green chilli margarita was tasty although a little less carefully made for the second round. The waitress was quite nice and as attentive as she could be given that as far as I could tell, she was the only person assigned to the outside area, which resulted in a bit slower service than one would want. All staff members seemed nice enough and the bus "boy" was well on top of things--they were just busier than they could handle gracefully. I understand that more staff on the floor would just lead to lesser gains for each of them, so I could easily deal with the slower, busier service if the food was just a touch better made. A lot of potential, just not enough to bring us back. read more

In town for a few days for a girl's trip and I gotta say, this was our favorite meal all weekend. This place is a gem, 100%. The back is amazingly adorable with great staff, comfortable atmosphere, and reasonably priced drinks. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, our waitress was super accommodating and the food was OUTSTANDING. We got the poached chicken and everything on that plate was to die for. The atmosphere is casual and intimate and they play really great music. I just loved it. We all did. Thank you for a great experience! Also they refill water frequently, which is a plus, haha. read more

Come here for the drinks, don't stay for the food. I've eaten here a few different times and each time I was underwhelmed. My medium rare burger was completely DONE and the fries were definitely frozen (reminded me of the Ore Ida fries my mom would bake in the oven when I was a kid). The pasta is okay although it's always been a little too salty for my taste. However, their drinks are delish and their outdoor seating arrangement is so cute. read more

The Overview: 2.25/5 The food here is mostly bland -- lack of seasoning/'herbs' is the common theme found throughout each dish. Though the staff was friendly, the restaurant does not prepare them with knowledge of the dishes, leaving them unable to guide us through the menu and give personal recommendations. The atmosphere has the potential to be better, but current casual 'family-friendly' neighborhood restaurant paired with hard, anxiety-inducing music just does not make sense. Though you may find me having a casual drink at their FourFiveSix bar around the corner, the chances of my eating at Ringolevio again are slim-to-none. The Breakdown below... The Food: 2/5 Appetizers - Crostini, 3 for $9. 1. Mixed Mushrooms, Herbs, Parmesan Cheese - Lacking in herbs, but saved by the natural, earthy flavor of the mushrooms. Would recommend. 2. Bufala Mozzarella, Tomato, Fresh Herbs - Lacking in herbs and mozzarella. The small chunks of tomato were the only saving grace to this otherwise sad display of a simple and classic dish. Would not recommend. 3. Artichoke Hearts, Shaved Parmesan Cheese, Parsley - Did not notice the parsley, but did not miss it either. The artichoke hearts were shaved and mixed well with Parmesan and a light squeeze of lemon. Very delicious, would recommend. Entrees - Spinach Ravioli, $14. Mixed Mushroom Tagliatelle, $14. 1. Spinach Ravioli with Pomodoro - The ravioli pasta was comically large and the filling was severely lacking, if there was any filling to be found at all. Most of my raviolis were broken, so the little filling that would have been present did not make it on to my plate. The filling that I did get to try was bland and left little to be desired. The pomodoro sauce seemed to have consisted solely of crushed tomato. Would not recommend. 2. Mixed Mushroom Tagliatelle with Shiitake Mushrooms, Crimini Mushrooms, Fresh Herbs, Garlic & Olive Oil - Though there was a reasonable helping of mushrooms on this dish, it was greasy with a sub-par olive oil and no fresh herbs or garlic could be detected. The dish was bland, essentially naked. Would not recommend. The Service: 2/5 Since we arrived just as Ringolevio opened for dinner, we were seated right away and our dishes were served in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was very nice, but wasn't too knowledgeable when it came to the dishes. Originally considering the Handmade Tagliolini Ai Frutti Di Mare over the Mixed Mushroom Taglitelle, we asked for her opinion. She said she couldn't give an honest opinion because she has never seen the Tagliolini ordered or served, which left me wondering why it was on the menu if that's the case and why the servers don't get occasional menu taste tests so they have a better knowledge of the flavors that make up the dishes the restaurant serves. The Atmosphere: 3/5 The restaurant has a casual, neighborhood vibe. The space is small but tables are reasonably spaced out, so it has just the right amount of coziness. The decor is a bit 'slapped together', but I did not mind it so much. The music in the restaurant was BOOMING. The night I happened to be there, they were blasting music featuring repetitive gun shots -- a bizarre choice for an establishment serving families with small children. Would not recommend for families or large parties. On the other hand, their connected bar just around the corner (called FourFiveSix) is quintessential Brooklyn. It boasts a large indoor/outdoor warehouse space with a similar 'slapped together' look that's a little more curated and welcoming (features a mixture of plants, candles and an eclectic mixture of art, lamps, chairs, sofas, etc.). Would recommend for a casual happy hour or late night with friends when the weather is nice. The Price: 2/5 Though the pricing appears to be reasonable, you're paying for blandness. read more

GRADE PENDING!!!! Don't eat here. Looks can be deceiving. On arrival I loved the feel of this place, cool artwork, funky music, quirky (drunk/high) staff. 30min later.... I'm going to skip how bad the service was, oblivious waitress, zero management, drinks taking over 30 min "the bartender lost your order" I mean wtf? I've worked in hospitality, I get it. What I don't get is how disgusting this place is. My partner and I played a game while we waited for our drinks "count the cockroaches" When we got to 6 we thought it might be a good idea to leave. Disgusting. read more

Full, shameless disclosure: with several bewitching items that caught our eyes while menu searching in the comfort of our 400 thread count sheets, the babe and I attended brunch here on both Saturday and Sunday. Ringolevio could not go un-yelped. Let's make this simple: Chicken & Waffles w. Slaw, Hot Sauce & Raspberry Drizzle: Nice portions and many flavors all working together in a sweet and savory harmony. Soft and sweet waffles pair well with the slaw. Skirt Steak w. Scrambled Eggs & Mixed Greens: This isn't a steakhouse by any means but the skirt satisfied our steak craving. Paired with 2 melt-in-your-mouth scrambled eggs, the dish was delightful. Kale Salad: Here is where Ringolevio may have fell short. The kale salad is more of a sauteed, drippy pile of beets and flavorless sweet potatoes. It seemed more like an $8 side dish than a $14 entree. Rosemary Potatoes: An enjoyably crispy addition to any meal for my friends who like to over-indulge. Atmosphere: Cute, cozy, European/rustic. Don't place your water underneath the plants; they shed. Service: No problems here. Sunday's outdoor waitress was very pleasant. **Honorable Mention** The Bussers: I sip my water once, they come with a refill. I look at my coffee, they come with a fresh pot. I say "Do you have any..." and hot sauce appears before me. Best in Brooklyn. Why 4 Stars?: Great place overall, just not the absolute best! Also, beware of the mimosas. We experienced a little bit of a mutiny among the other tables. Is the orange juice freshly squeezed? IT IS not. Should you give it a try?: Yes. You're in New York City. No excuse to not try something new. read more

Service was good. The decor is nice and it's so strange, visually it makes quite an impression on you. But the food was bland. I mean I got the mushroom tagliatelle and had Parmesan added and then asked for salt because there was just no flavor. So strange! Drinks were weak. I knew what I was walking into, like many relatively new places in Williamsburg, everything looks really nice, and atmosphere is nice, servers are bending over backwards for the customers but like who doesn't salt the food? You really have to make an effort to produce bland Italian food. Regret going there... I shouldn't feel bad for being honest about the place cuz the service was nice, albeit slow read more

I'm so obsessed with this place. I was scoping out somewhere to sit and do some school work before a show at Brooklyn Steel and found this place on yelp. I was here for 4 hours!! It was a Tuesday and it was super quiet from about 4 until 6 then people started coming in and it was actually pretty busy. Everything was amazing, from the drinks, the food, the ambiance and comfort. It's very artistic and fun inside with art all over the wall, as well as outside, which as time of seating. Perfect playlist also. Highly recommend for any day of the week read more

Last weekend my friend invited us at her favorite neighborhood restaurant for brunch. We walked into this amazing artsy patio with couches and flowers all around it, so cute. We sat at the bar as it was pretty hot outside. Started with some cool cocktails they had and bloody Mary's, it was all very fresh and delicious! Pleaseeee order the chicken waffles ! They are outstanding ! We also had French Toasts that came on a skewer with eggs and bacon and salmon eggs Benedict those we also amazing ! We didn't try their desserts but they have chocolate fondue!!!!!! Service was on point, very friendly staff and prices were reasonable. We are definitely coming back I heard their sister restaurant which is attached to next door has live bands and Dj on weekends. Sounds like a great place to hang out. read more

I always order from here and the food is excellent but the service is seriously top notch. A gentleman named Paul owns the place and another named David is one of the managers i believe. The owner and managers instill great service in everyone who works there. Though there have been a couple of hiccups with my order once in a blue moon, they always correct any and all mistakes by going above and beyond. They genuinely care about their customers and treat customers like family, I highly recommend this cozy spot! read more

From the outside, this is a wacky restaurant. The menu is in a cover of a high school composition book, and the seating appears to be an eclectic mix of free, sidewalk found furniture. However, it wasn't too crowded for brunch on a Saturday around noon, and our group of 3 was seated immediately. The French toast kebabs were tasty: the gimmick is mostly in the presentation, but the panettone worked. I also tried the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which was also cooked well. As wacky as the restaurant is, the brunch is solid, standard American fare. read more

This restaurant was incredible. My husband and I visited Ringolevio this evening prior to a concert and we could not have been more pleased with our experience. The food was just was we had hoped for- fresh and fun and each dish was more delicious than the last. The drinks were perfect with a wide range of beers, wines and cocktails and the service was impeccable. They were even playing a soundtrack by the band we were going to see. They made our night perfect! I highly recommend Ringolevio to anyone looking for a great dining experience with an excellent ambiance. read more

Popped in here before a show at Brooklyn steel, and am so happy I did! Handmade pasta was a perfect pre show snack, and I loved the cocktails. I used the restrooms before heading out, and the cool vibes, and open garage door in the back bar made me decide to bring my girls back after the show. Experiencing the larger lounge, cozy couches, dope music, and of course more cocktails in the back with my girls really topped off an incredible evening out in Williamsburg. I Will definitely be back soon for another magical night! read more

Funny story. The second time I was in, for dinner instead of just brunch, I came with a friend. We had a great meal with appetizers, dessert and several glasses of wine. The check came. I looked at it and thought it was fair; $160. Seemed right. My friend throws down $40. I'm like... uh... what is he doing? Maybe he's short? Fine. Friends are friends, I'm not going to take issue. I pull out $150 and plop it down. He looks at me like I have two heads. What? The bill was $60. No it wasn't. Yes. It. Was. No kidding. It was. This place sets the bar for neighborhood restaurants. Great staff. Great food. Cheap prices. Diverse and excellent music. This is the one by which you measure others. I could eat here several times a week and still justify it. $12 pasta and $8 wine. Sign me up. The food is what: homemade sophisticate. Prepared really well and full of comfort. The music is all over the place but music lover quality. Top notch. Cat's pajamas. Jumpin'. read more
