Ortobello's gets the big buzz on Bay Parkeay, but once upon a time places like Torre's were all over. Opened in '67 by a Neapolitan when the Marlboro Theater was an anchor you could eat well before or after a film. Sometime later it became a pizzeria but its restaurant vibe still lingers Ate: Lentil soup String beans with garlic A tiny piece of the mushroom focaccia You get bread which was ok, but the soup was outstanding one of the best in recent memory with or without pasta. The string beans were a bit soft but full of garlic & oil & quite tasty. The mushroom focaccia which they sell by the piece was delicious and though the squares looked better than the round, it's the mushroom focaccia I would get again and the soup.. read more

Love this place. Love the folks who run it, who work there and there food is always great. Especially the $12 gyro+fries+soda deal. Their grandma pie is comparable to L&Bs pie. There entrees are also wonderful. Gnocchi & Pesto, Baked Ziti and Meatballs are my staples. Calamari is fabulous..I need to stop. I am getting hungry. read more

I've been coming to this spot for quite literally the last 18 years and it has never disappointed. It's the consistency and fast service that I crave. The pizza is everything it should be, thin, cheesy, and perfectly crispy. Even after moving across the country to California, I still make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town. I always grab a pie to freeze and take back with me. The nostalgia factor adds another star and cannot be beat. read more

Back at it again. Consistency is key to any good restaurant. Today I tried the eggplant slice and it was really good but wish it wasn't floppy. The square slice was good too and the chicken bbq slice was fire. This slice was very good and was not floppy. Had a great crunch to it. Great service and good food. Bathroom is clean too. Total was $ 13.25. read more

The vegetable pie from Torres is unmatched in this neighborhood. I will continue to say that on repeat. They flood the pie with many veggies and it's really quite good. Sometime I get that pie, and add pepperoni or sausage to it but the other night, I added both, and Torre's did not play lol. They absolutely listened. Thanks for the amazing service. My pie was awesome, and absolutely hit the mark. I took my photo after I ate one slice (it looked so good that I couldn't help but eat one first.) Thanks Torre's for always making me awesome Veggie pies! read more

This is a solid 3.5 actually, not the greatest but better than most! Pretty solid pizza, we've gotten their cheese pizza, sausage pizza and margherita pie... all pretty solid. My kids love the sausage pizza... but really wish their delivery is more consistent. 90% of time - pizza gets here safely. That 10% chance is insane... pizza looks like it got crushed by something heavy, or that one side got smushed... ugh. Great pizza is getting harder and harder to find in Brooklyn... so if we find a solid spot, then we will have it in our dinner rotation. Ciao! read more

I'be eaten here about 150 times in the last 5 years. This is no exaggeration. I usually get a salad, particularly the medeteranian salad. Juicy chicken, roasted marinated peppers, almond slivers and mozzarella. Honestly they load the salad up. The portobello salad is really good as well! Mushrooms and cheese are a good combo. The pizza is pretty good as well and I'm a bit of a pizza snob. Place is a great lunch spot if your on the area. I haven't really tried anything else because I come from an Italian background and I don't eat Italian food out, it's usually a let down. This is my feelings on pizza : It goers like this 1-pizza 2-family 3-country Sorry kids ...... Oh and the place is clean and fresh always. read more

I stopped by this small pizzeria while waiting for the b6 bus at around 4:30pm, and there were pros and cons. The staff was very friendly and stated that there was no minimum for using a debit card. The selection was okay, not super exciting but the veggie and eggplant slices did catch my attention. The worker heated up my slice and it was ready pretty quickly. I enjoyed the texture of all the toppings, but it was a bit too salty and heavy on the cheese. I also noticed that there was a small menu on the counter which listed different salads and wraps which I did not know they offered because there was no big menu to look at. I just saw what was in the counter display and that's it. Later on, my stomach was hurting from the food so I'm not sure if it's because it was sitting out on the counter the whole day until I ordered it, or if it was just too heavy and I couldn't handle it. Overall, I wasn't thrilled but it did the job of filling my belly for dinner before I had to get on the bus. read more

Got two plain slices and some beef patties tonight. The slices were thin and had a pretty nice, crispy crust, but hmm....the rest of it was pretty lacking...... The patties were nice but nothing very special.. Besides that just by taste and quality alone I don't think it's worth the price, their hygiene was also pretty appalling. After ringing up my order and handling my cash with his bare hands, the guy used those same bare hands to pick up my pizza slices and beef patties. After the slices and patties were warmed up, those same bare hands took them out of the oven, fingers that were just handling cash were now all over my food! This is pretty unacceptable even before Covid and so much more so now! No one handling food there was wearing gloves, and everyone handled cash and food with their bare hands without washing in between. read more

This place has really gone downhill since I last ate there. They came late, which would normally be fine, but when I called to ask about my order they said that "it's probably not coming, but no we won't give you a refund." It was biazzare. Eventually the pizza DID come (so not sure why they told me that) it only had toppings on half of it and the box was completely crushed with one slice literally not even having any cheese on it. Luke Warm, no less. The crust was so greasy I had to heat each piece in my toaster oven just to make it edible (otherwise it tasted like eating greasy, borderline uncooked dough). I don't know if it's the Covid or what it is but please get it together. You used to be good. This is... worst the the worst pizza I've gotten in nearly 5 years. read more

Favorite pizza spot in the neighborhood. I've been a loyal customer for 3 years now. Recently moved but I was thrilled to find out they still deliver to me! Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious but the grandma slice is probably the best I've had. The bbq chicken slice also hits the spot every time (though I personally remove the onions). Definitely try the chef's special chicken hero on their special panini bread if you come here. Oh, and the grilled chicken caesar salad- that dressing is something else!! MUST TRY!!

I have ordered from Torres for 15 years. Sometimes twice a week. I ordered dinner for my family tonight and my surprise there was a roach in my wife's food. I called the restaurant to tell them I did not want the food and wanted a refund. The guy on the phone said that he would refund my money but I needed to give back the food. That wasn't a problem. He said he would refund me for the food but not for the three Snapple's I ordered which were about $4. I was shocked that they didn't give us the full refund considering now we had to order from somewhere and wait a longer period of time to eat.

THE VEGGIE DELUXE PIZZA HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST VEGGIE PIZZAS IN NYC.... WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!! It's not a gourmet pie, granted, it's a traditional Brooklyn pie, and in that category, again, one of the best. A bounty of veggies, just the right amount of cheese, delicious crust, very tasty. An excellent alternative to meat and... very filling! They also have traditional Italian dishes that are pretty good, never had any bad food from here ever. They are not a gourmet restaurant, and they don't try to be, it's just a really good local neighborhood pizzeria place. (But the veggie pie is awesome!!) read more

Just took some pizza home for lunch at 3:30. Bought 3 plain slices and one chicken roll and a soda. Came to $19 and change. Is that normal? Then started to eat and realized it didnt taste like anything. There was no flavor, it was still cold even though they heated it up. I dont live far, and this was the only pizza place open on memorial day. If i knew it was going to be this bad i would have gave up and got chinese food. Then started to drink soda and realized it was expired. It expired in February and its late may. It still had the polar bear from Christmas time. If this place cant sell coca cola in time then how can the food be trusted to be not expired. I probably will be sick later on, so i wanted to yelp this fast.

I made the mistake of thinking this was a full out Italian restaurant, but based on the food this was more like a pizza place with some pasta items on the menu. I ordered the rigatoni carbonara which was actually just ziti with bacon and Alfredo sauce and an excessive amount of onions. The fresh mozzarella, tomatoes & roasted peppers was okay, but it was obviously packaged Polly-O mozzarella. The fried zucchini was good though and I'll order that again, with just pizza next time.

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.

Note: reservations are not required but definitely suggested!! This place was packed. Every table sat, but a few chairs at the bar. I give this place 5 stars, EVERYTHING was lovely! The dim lights, (I love a dark and moody restaurant) noise level, talk-able but good music in the background, food, drinks, service.... all of it TOP NOTCH. Let's get into the deets.... 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! Yummmo Overall a great place for dinner, run don't walk, you won't be disappointed! You'll thank me later

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.

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.

Love their bread platter and decor.

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

We weren't too hungry this day, so we tried the grilled clams, sheep's milk angolotti, and grilled whole orata. My favorite was the angolotti, as it was rich, a little sweet from the honey, and loved the sun dried tomatoes on top. I almost wish there were more tomatoes as the flavor complimented the pasta so well. The grilled clams were pretty good, and so was the grilled orata - all the flavor profiles are rather light, so if that's your preference these dishes fit that palate.

Service was attentive and friendly, and I did not feel rushed at any point. I wasn't too hungry so I shared their popular focaccia bread with green butter and sheep's milk agnolotti. Focaccia 5/5: best focaccia I ever had, it came hot and fresh out of the oven. Crispy on the outside but so soft inside, topped with a delicious parm. The green herb butter was so smooth. I loved this dish and would come back just for it Sheep's milk 4/5: they're like ravioli stuffed with smooth, melt in your mouth cheese... the sauce was light and sweet from the honey. It was so unique and delicious (technically a 5/5 but I personally am not a fan of sweet pasta and would likely try something else next time) I hope to come back another time for that bread and to try one of their other pastas

Lillo Cucina Italiana

Overall rating: 4.8…read more Admittedly I was expecting to hate this place. There were so many positive reviews and TikToks, it's hard not to think it's overrated. When I went, it's very small. Seats at max 10 maybe less. Being a single person, it was hard to seat me. But they sat me at a table of 4 and told me if the two seater opens up they'll move me. They were very transparent which I loved. When a couple came, they said they're seating with me and I was fine with it. No complaints. The artichokes were just okay, but the lobster ravioli was delicious. My only point or two off is when they asked for water they didn't give any options. So with the question I said still water. They served it and it was sparkling. I should have said something but I chickened out. And then! I realize everyone around me is drinking tap water! I didn't know that was an option wish that was clear. Will definitely come back when I'm craving lobster ravioli.

Oh the old school thrill of an old school beauty of an establishment like Bamonte's!…read more I just love this place so much! I can't say enough great things about the decor the ambience and imagining all of the past goings on in this restaurant. It's been watching over Brooklyn for well over 100 years now! That in itself is a Herculean feat! From what I was told it was very popular with the mob as they say... And that's why the kitchen which is at the very back of the restaurant has full glass windows so that you can see exactly what's going on in there. I guess some of these mob guys were paranoid and rightly so consider considering their history. I arrived with my friend on a Wednesday evening about 6 PM and there were some scattered tables but by 7 PM it was mobbed (pun intended ) in there!! our waiter was affable and patient and a quite enjoyable fellow. As a sidenote, you will not find any female servers they are all male which l lends to the old school vibe in my opinion. My friend ordered the lamb chops with broccoli Rabe. He enjoyed them but did mention that though they had great flavor one of them was slightly tough... It happens... My meal was pasta with Bolognese sauce with a dollop of fresh ricotta on top. It was delicious actually the sauce was excellent. I would've liked to have a different pasta shape but they did not have it. No biggie. I could really say the food was very good but it was not excellent but for me that was not an issue as I fell in love with the place itself. The service was excellent and the ambience was fantastic! I would definitely return again and I highly recommend it if you have never been you must at least go one time!!

The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

Dropped by Radio Bakery on the Tuesday morning after Memorial Day and the lines weren't too crazy…read more I got there in time to grab some breakfast items and baked goods, and then waited at a table outside for the lunch items to get set out around 11AM. I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :)

Service: Service was wonderful! Our waiter was attentive and came back to check on us throughout the meal. There's a button to press when you need service, and our waiter was always quick to come after we pressed it. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size with tables sectioned off into small "rooms". There are two private rooms downstairs that fit about 6-7 people each. The rooms are adjoining and good for large groups. Seating downstairs is the Japanese-style tables where you put your legs into a pit under the table. Decor and ambiance is very nice, and seating is comfortable. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

It was an absolute lifesaver that kept the girls happily entertained. And the food was absolutely worth savoring. We kicked things off with a round of handrolls--salmon avocado, spicy salmon, and yellowtail--which were perfectly crisp and packed with fresh fish. I went all in on the Salmon Lovers set, and it was an absolute dream. It came with a massive, beautiful spread of salmon sushi, seven thick pieces of melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, a salmon avocado roll, a bright kani salad, and a really savory piece of grilled salmon. We also shared the Ysukiji sushi platter, which featured a gorgeous, high-quality assortment of cuts, while the Smoked Chicken bento box was a huge hit, offering fantastic cooked flavors and generous portions. The room we were in mimicked a traditional Japanese room where everyone had to sit on the floor and put their legs under the table. It was fun for the younger people but it was difficult for the elders to sit down and get back up. Between the incredibly fresh sushi and the warm hospitality that kept the whole family smiling the entire time, this spot easily earned five stars. We can't wait to come back!
