“Food was very fresh service was good. It was actually dead when we were there during the day it started picking up as we were leaving. I would definitely go back.”

“A really nice, underrated Italian spot in Brooklyn. The interior is beautiful but still feels calm and low-key, which makes it easy to just relax and enjoy the meal. The pasta was the highlight for me—simple and really well done. Overall, a solid place that’s worth a visit if you’re looking for something quieter with a nice atmosphere. Definitely would recommend for date night.”

“Food is a bit mediocre and overpriced. ordered the lamb pasta, that was yummy. their chai latte is good. their chopped salad is ok, asked for no dressing and they included dressing- it was delicious but a bit sweet. had their steak spiedini with the salad, which is a nice protein add-on. overall, it was eh. ambiance was nice very warm and cozy in the main dining area. if sitting in the bar/lounge stay far away from the door in the winter.”

“Decent food. It wasn’t like the best Italian food I have ever had but it was good. Branzino was cooked perfectly. Steak was decent quality, but not worth the price tag. Pasta was also decent. Enjoyed the fried calamari and grilled octopus. Pistachio cake was meh, but the olive oil ice cream was tasty. The blood orange sorbet was refreshing. Great ambiance. Amazing decor (just not sure about the pictures of kids on the wall; didn’t see the connection. It was weird). Service was excellent. I would try again. A bit pricey for what it is but expected.”

“Came here for dinner the other day with friends and loved it! We tried a few things - the honey ricotta, fennel salad, tomato and watermelon salad, margherita pizza, and black shells with calamari. The ricotta was great and paired incredibly well with the sesame/olive oily toasted bread. Loved how refreshing the tomato and watermelon salad was and loved the apples in the fennel salad. The wood-fired pizza was good though I'm curious about some of the other flavors. AND, I was a big fan of the black shells - the seafood was cooked perfectly! The patio and outdoor seating are lovely though I will say you'll hear the noises of Williamsburg and many a crowd passing through to get to Westlight presumably. The one tiny issue was the bug bites I acquired but I'm fairly sure that's a me problem...Service was timely and great! For dessert, we tried both the gelato sandwich and the pistachio cake with gelato (topped with olive oil) and the cake was definitely my favorite. The sandwich was good though the laminated/croissant-like dough was a little tough to cut through once a little cooler so maybe less of a shareable item and a good solo sweet instead?”
