    Perfectly chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

    As someone who's been gluten free for many years, I've just learned to live without some of my old favorites. Finding Wild in Park Slope was the perfect end to a day spent exploring Brooklyn! I truly couldn't decide what to have - because I could have anything off the menu!! I settled on the Tuna Tartare appetizer and the Butternut Squash Ravioli and they were both delicious! Will definitely make a return trip the next time I'm in town. Thank you for making this GF girl so happy - and stuffed! Great outside dining area - and lovely open, airy space inside, as well!

    Decent food, the calamari was a bit bland. Bread and pasta are a decent texture for gluten-free but the sauce made it worth it.

    Rounded up to 4 stars The room is comfortable and clean. The cocktails are adequate - not outstanding. The plates are inconsistent. The Pasta Carbonara was tasty. The Spaghetti with the Chicken Parmigiana was gummy. The service was attentive.

    Very cute decor inside and solid outside space. The food was really great - flavor and quality was not sacrificed when going gluten-free ! Service was prompt and friendly !

    I was excited to try Wild, especially because it's a Gluten free restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is very small and cramp. The night i went there, there was live music and all though it was a great vibe, it was really loud and they were tucked so far in the corner that you couldn't enjoy the view. I loved the music they sang but because the restaurant is so tiny I felt like it was literally the only thing you could hear. I had the calamari as an app and the mushroom pasta for the main. The calamari was okay; I would get the meatballs the next time if I ever go there again because I heard great things about them. The mushroom pasta was very bland. It just tasted like cream and nothing else. I added salt/pepper and parm to make it taste better. The service was okay but my waiter did forget my order and had to come back to confirm it. Not sure if I would go back.

    As a celiac I've never felt so safe, absolutely delicious, my friend whose not gluten free said it was the best pasta she ever had, wish I could give 10 stars

    Worst food I ever had. Let's start with the mozzarella sticks.... NO BUENO PIZZA wasn't good at all. We spent $162.00 for the bottomless brunch for 2 which we thought would be great...... Epic fail! Don't let this place fool you. On to the next Service great, food not so much...

    ***2 1/2 stars*** There's always some risk involved when you do absolutely no research beforehand and just pick a place instinctively based on vibes. The vibes WERE good, but...not much else was, unfortunately. I came here last night with my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality to grab some drinks and bites before the Nets game (which was a special level of atrocious though it did coincidentally feature the NBA debut of Gonzaga's own Drew Timme - congrats!). I always forget how many bar/restaurants are in Park Slope so it took us about 15 minutes to stumble across this one. I liked that it seemed quieter and the lighter colors inside were instinctively appealing. All of that WAS good, for the record. Our primary purpose was to get drinks, and they were very hit or miss. My first drink was the Trusty Sidekick, featuring bourbon, elderflower liquor and prosecco. Not good. It wasn't mixed at all (we speculated that that might actually have been intentional for optics purposes, but that's ridiculous - no drink should have to be stirred together by the drinker) and I don't think there was any bourbon in it. We side-eyed each other the minute we saw how clear the beverage is, which bourbon certainly isn't. It also had way too much simple syrup and I'm not a 21-year-old sorority initiate. So I'm not sure if this drink just flat out wasn't made properly or if it's badly designed but either way I'd steer clear. My second drink was way better - it was a Spicy Old Fashioned, which tasted like it might have had a bit of Fireball in it or something to that effect. That could have gone sideways easily but thankfully the bartender was pretty judicious with the pour in that regard at least. Good presentation as well. My chum wasn't crazy about her jalapeno margarita, and it's wild to me how often bars make this mistake of doubling down on the jalapeno - if you are already using jalapeno-infused tequila, there's no need to then also mull actual jalapenos in it. She's usually pretty good with her spice, but even this was over the line and she switched drinks. When both people have to pivot to something else? Not a great sign. The food was pretty rough as well. It's interesting to me now with the benefit of hindsight to see that this place is much more about the gluten-free cuisine than anything else. I don't know if that specifically ended up being an issue here or not, but what I did have just wasn't good. We ordered a margarita pie, which you can see from the attached looks (and tastes) a lot like an overly cheesed-up Celeste freezer pizza. I had one slice just to get some necessary carbs in but I would never get it again. Aside from the lackluster items provided, the service was decent. The bartender was attentive and available throughout our experience, and when my chum ordered some drinks off menu, he readily obliged. Very pleasant little bar area there, and comfortable. This area is positively teeming with high quality shizzle. It's unlikely we're making a repeat visit.

    Happy hour tapas
    Isabelle P.

    Ugh unfortunately not a huge fan. I really wanted to LOVE this place as I live in the neighborhood and pass it frequently. The decor & ambiance are very inviting, but truthfully it missed on a few parts. When we walked in, the host did not greet us. She was busy speaking with a bar tender and while she looked directly at us, she continued with her conversation. We had to walk to the back of the bar just to be seated. The restaurant was empty except for a few seats at the bar and we asked if we could sit outdoors for happy hour. She looked at us and said, "bar only for happy hour" in a really condescending tone. We sit down and the happy hour was not a happy hour in my opinion. The prices were high for the area as we frequent quite a few spots in park slope for happy hour. The wine was not great, the beer was fine but for $8, we could go somewhere else that charges less for the same beer not during happy hour. Would not recommend for happy hour specifically. Cannot speak to other hours.

    Fried Calamari
    Chloe C.

    Really terrific for gluten free! You could barely even tell the gluten was missing and that's saying a lot for fried chicken and pasta! The chicken parm was great, as was the calamari. And it seemed like my friends really liked the shrimp scampi too. My only critique of the food was that the chicken was a little rubbery. Staff was friendly and attentive. Drinks were pretty good. Ambiance solid. Overall, would definitely recommend if someone in your party is gluten free/celiac.

    My friend who is gluten intolerant cried tears of joy when she realized she could have everything on the menu. The salads and pastas are great. I love coming for oyster and clam happy hour and grabbing a glass of wine at the bar.

    Standard-Issue Nostalgia with a Side of Rushed Hospitality…read more If you enjoy paying in time rather than digital convenience, Lucali's reservation process is a masterclass in performative nostalgia. Arriving at 2 PM to stand in a line for two hours just to get on a list for a 7 PM seating doesn't make the place feel exclusive, it makes it feel like a punishment. But hey, we got a table, so the sacrifice was supposed to be worth it. It wasn't. Lucali is BYOB, which is fine in theory. My party brought two bottles of prosecco, fully prepared for a cozy, rustic evening. The server kindly offered to pop the first bottle, then brought out our glassware: heavy, standard water glasses, fresh out of the commercial dishwasher and literally piping hot. There is a special kind of absurdity in pouring crisp, ice-cold prosecco into a glass that feels like it was just pulled from the depths of hell. To top it off, nobody offered to keep our second bottle chilled. Minor detail, sure, but for a place with this level of cult status, the low-effort service immediately set the tone. To give credit where it's due, the ambiance is legitimately cool. It's dimly lit, atmospheric, and feels like step-back-in-time Brooklyn kitchen. Watching the pizza makers roll out dough using empty wine bottles before shoving them into the roaring brick oven gives off that warm, "Nonna's kitchen" charm. You want to love it. Then the food arrives, and the illusion shatters. Our server gave us the bare minimum rundown: "We have pizza, calzones, and tonight's special pasta." Zero detail, zero enthusiasm. We ordered the pizza and the calzone. The pizza was... fine. Completely fine. But calling this the best pizza in New York feels like collective mass delusion. If you've been to L'Industrie or Mama's Too, Lucali isn't even in the same stratosphere. Then came the calzone, which was allegedly stuffed with five cheeses. The server proudly named four, withholding the fifth as a "secret ingredient." A mystery cheese angle might be fun if the calzone blew your mind, but by the time I took a bite, the gimmick just felt tired. It was a perfectly average calzone wrapped in high-end gatekeeping. The grand finale, however, was the absolute kicker. Just under an hour into our meal, after overhearing the hostess realize she'd botched the table rotation, our server came over with an update: they had overbooked and needed our table. Her gracious solution? "You're welcome to pour the rest of your prosecco into your glasses and finish it outside!" The remaining, warm, prosecco that is... Let's recap the math: two hours waiting on a sidewalk at 2 PM, five hours of waiting for the reservation time, warm glasses for cold bubbles, middle-of-the-road pizza, and a boot out the door in under sixty minutes because they messed up their own seating chart. Disgraceful hospitality masked as old-school Brooklyn charm. If you love mediocre food, lukewarm prosecco in burning hot glassware, and being rushed out to the curb, Lucali is waiting for you. As for me, I won't be back.

Personally, I would not rate this pizza anywhere near a 9.3, especially considering how many great pizza options there are in Brooklyn. That being said, it is still a good slice and worth trying. I just don't think it quite lives up to the hype or the exceptionally high rating it has received.

Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered a glass of wine, a beer, an arugula salad, and our main food order. Everything started out fine, and the salad came without a problem. But then we waited. And waited. About 30 minutes after we had ordered, I asked our waiter where our food was. He apologized and admitted that he had forgotten to put the order in. By that point, we had already watched other tables receive their food, including people who had arrived well after us. We continued waiting, and after roughly 40 minutes or more, our food still had not arrived. At that point, the dining experience was already ruined and we decided to leave. Ironically, just as we were getting ready to go, the food finally started coming out. I told them we no longer wanted it. The waiter did apologize again and offered us a pizza to take with us, which I assume was complimentary, but by then we were simply ready to leave. Even paying the bill became unnecessarily drawn out. We were charged the full amount for the salad, beer, and wine. I sat with a $50 bill ready to pay, was handed the check, and then ended up standing around for another five minutes waiting for someone to actually take the money. There was no apology from the person handling the payment. I understand that mistakes happen, and I appreciated that our waiter admitted he had forgotten to place the order. But when a restaurant makes that kind of mistake, the recovery matters. After waiting that long, watching later-arriving customers get served, and then having difficulty simply paying and leaving, an apology and a pizza at the very end didn't really fix the experience. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I can't say the service lived up to the restaurant's reputation.

    Got a TGTG order here. 11/10 I'd do it again…read more Brooklyn DOP actually originated as a pandemic business where my friend's personal trainer started baking pizzas outside of his Greenwood Heights apartment. When the hype got large enough, the owner decided to start a pizzeria and the rest is not history. This is one of the more worthwhile TGTG orders to me. Their pizza is SOOO perfectly crisp and charred, and actually is one of the closest pizzas that reminds me of the famous originals in Napoli.

    Brooklyn DOP is a prime example of what happens when a pandemic lockdown, a dough obsession, and an…read moreinability to sit still all collide. We visited as a stop on Scott's Pizza Bus Tour, which meant we were actively evaluating it against some of the best pizza in the city. Evaluating pizza on a tour is tricky because excellence becomes relative when you are eating multiple high-end pies in a single afternoon. According to Scott, Brooklyn DOP began in founder Thomas Ardito's apartment during the 2020 lockdowns. With his primary work on pause, he started baking pizza and selling pies through Instagram to pay his rent. People kept ordering. His friend Jason D'Amelio joined the effort, and what started as an apartment project turned into pop-ups and eventually a brick-and-mortar shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. That is a considerably more compelling origin story than a corporate franchise business plan. The setup in Park Slope includes a quiet back courtyard, which offered a comfortable spot for our group to sit, eat, and recover between stops. It feels relaxed and distinctly Brooklyn without trying too hard to remind you where you are. The pizza itself is very good. The crust strikes a proper balance between a crisp bottom and a chewy interior. The toppings are handled with care, from the crushed tomatoes to the fresh mozzarella. This is dough crafted by people who take fermentation seriously rather than relying on pre-packaged shortcuts. On its own merits, the pizza is a solid 4.5 stars. Unfortunately for Brooklyn DOP, it was competing on a tour against places operating on another plane. It is an excellent pie, but it was not the single slice that caused the entire tour to fall silent in collective awe. Still, that is an aggressive standard to hold against any local shop. Brooklyn DOP offers a great courtyard, a serious approach to dough, and a standout product. Landing just shy of five stars says far more about the sheer volume of elite pizza we ate that day than it does about the shop itself. Four stars. And if you are not spending the afternoon riding around New York with Scott Wiener eating pizza at some of the finest pizza joints the 5 boroughs have to offer, you can probably bump that half-star back up.
