Osteria Brooklyn LIC

“*This was catering so I can’t speak to atmosphere but given how phenomenal Loren was and delicious the food was—deserves the 5 stars without me present in person. I reached out to cater for a small birthday dinner, from start to finish, so kind, patient, and attentive (the food was a hit as well!) Able to accommodate our dietary restrictions and didn’t even charge us extra (though they totally could’ve!) - some of the fav picks were the Spring pizza, sauteed broccolini, and everyone loved the pasta. Would request them for catering again in a heartbeat.”

“Whether alone or on a date, this is the place to come. The drinks are well made and prepared, the food is exquisite (not just in look but also flavor), and the staff are welcoming, warm, and thoughtful. Not only that, but the views into Manhattan are hard to beat, and it's on a rather quiet street making it perfect for outdoor dining. Casual atmosphere in attire (most people were dressed up however), and they don't turn people away at 9PM (*hour before closing on weekday). I felt welcomed, included, and valued.”

“Had a great experience here! The food was delicious and definitely worth the price—great value for what you get. The cocktails were well-balanced and really enjoyable. Desserts were nicely done too, not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Service was excellent overall, and a special shoutout to Juan, who was especially friendly and attentive. He really made our visit even better. Would definitely come back and recommend this place to others!”

“I’m hard to please when it comes to Italian food so I was ecstatic to find Osteria Brooklyn @ LIC. It’s perfectly placed by the Manhattan sky line and would be a great place to eat as the weather warms up. This was the first time I genuinely enjoyed cacio e pepe! The staff is attentive, they offer a pleasant table side service and the cocktails are sensible. I tried a chicken parmigiana or something really similar that was also tasty. The vibe is somewhat casual but nice enough that you could come here on several different occasions. My only regret is that i didn’t get pizza from their gorgeous brick oven. And next time I will be seeing that Venetian merengue slice either here or at their OG Brooklyn location.”

“Highlights: The staff was incredibly attentive and even went above and beyond by bringing my dog a bowl of water. We decided to dine outdoors, taking advantage of the beautiful view and pleasant weather. I ordered the fritta calamari and tuna tartare. While the flavors were decent, they could have been enhanced. Lowlights: The tuna tartare was quite bland and lacked flavor. Additionally, the presentation could have been improved.”
