Milanese-born Brooklyn restaurateur, Edoardo Mantelli, has long admired the Viennese-style cafes of fin-de-siècle Milan and the cultural influence they had on his native city. In Saraghina Caffé, he’s lovingly recreated the sense of grace and grandeur found in these beloved institutions, where heated exchanges about the origins of the Negroni were cooled by a refreshing Spritz (Campari, per favore, not Aperol). More than places to stop for a drink, these caffè were cultural hearts of their neighborhoods, where poets and artists would find their next inspiration while nibbling on well-aged prosciutto di Parma.
“The manager was super friendly, humorous and very accommodating. They sat us right away. My only complaint about the service was the fact our waitress barely spoke louder than a whisper and in a busy restaurant, it was difficult to hear her. Food was decently priced and quite delicious. And again the manger checked on us and refilled our water. Very nice place and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nice place to eat.”
“The Ricotta pancakes are delicious and way more filling than they look. The omelette and crispy potatoes were also a great choice. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful and the service is great”
“wanted to give it 5/5! unfortunately while eating my pizza i found a small, hard piece of clear plastic that i had to spit out otherwise the food and drinks were lovely! but i never ate plastic before, it was not a pleasant surprise”
“Brooklyn is known for its pizza, but this spot truly stands above the rest. From the first bite, you know you’re experiencing something special. The crust is perfection, crispy on the outside, light and airy inside, with just the right chew. The sauce tastes fresh and balanced, tangy with a hint of sweetness, and the cheese is rich, gooey, and melts into every corner of the slice.”
“Funny how the manager decided to write back but here I am, trying to defend myself again... Awful experience. Our waiter asked if I had any allergies and I said yes, I’m allergic to cheese. I ordered the pasta and it came out completely bland, so I asked if there was anything they could do. He took it back and said there was no butter, which was confusing because I never said anything about butter. I only said I couldn’t have cheese. It came back with butter and was still just as bland. I honestly wasn’t even going to say anything and was planning to take it home and add salt/flavor myself, but the waiter came back and asked if it was okay. I said it was still pretty flavorless, so he took it off the bill. Then the manager came over and asked what was wrong with it. I said it was still very bland, and he literally scoffed, rolled his eyes, and stomped away. Since I didn’t have a meal, my friend offered me her last two slices of pizza. I scraped the cheese off and ate them. The manager then came back huffing and puffing and said, “Did you just eat the slice with cheese??” in such a rude and condescending tone. It didn’t feel like concern for my allergy at all. It felt like he was accusing me of lying. I left hungry, embarrassed, and so disappointed. Save yourself the trip and go to Evelina instead.”
