Brian EricksonSeptember 13, 2016Really surprised this place is not rated higher. Came here for the first time after working in the area for years and it was awesome. Spaghetti pesto was perfectly Al dente and eggplant parm delicious
The local Italian restaurant that has become a fixture to DUMBO. Highly recommend brunch and while I frequent Almar often for lunch, dinner is where it’s at!
Joy AndersonJune 10, 2014I was with my 2 year old grandson, his 2 year old friend..we were seated towards the back w/high chairs.Our waitress was wonderful & totally understood children. Nice place,awesome drinks!
Michael CostelloAugust 26, 2018Brunch menu is stellar. Ricotta bruschetta w/ truffle oil was light and sweet. I had the risotto with two eggs and a side of thick cut bacon. For a drink I had Bloody Mary and mimosa. A+ bartender
Ari NicoleOctober 25, 2018The BLT Panini & Rigatoni Pasta was delish, love the lightness of the food. I wish there was more drink options though, my fav was the 111
Finley Bomer-LawsonNovember 17, 2015Get the egg toast. The egg on a cloud is the showy one, but the flavor of the egg toast is a straight mouth orgasm.
Nani WeinbergAugust 23, 2012Quality 2 for 1 happy hour with grade A cocktails is the best drink deal in DUMBO IMHO. Makes up for the fact that this place is cash only.
Amazing service. Cheese selections are delish. Menu is best in Dumbo. Bring cash and don't wait to use the bathroom - only one in the place (said the pregnant lady).
CompassApril 24, 2014The window-walled Front Street eatery serves fittingly fresh Northern Italian dishes, from octopus small plates and various crostini to braised rabbit and champagne cocktails.
The whole roasted branzino is always perfectly cooked and incredibly fresh. The gnocchi is really nicely done when it is on the menu.
Great food,fun atmosphere. They show old movies on the back wall. I hear their coffee is great too!
Kevin ChupkaSeptember 30, 2015Egg on a cloud was amazing. Meatball parm panini didn't disappoint either. Solid Bloody Mary to boot!
Christine ShinJanuary 31, 2014The grilled octopus is amazing! Sadly, there was a stray hair in my cheese crostini, but the waiter brought us a new one, and comped us desserts.
Lunch special for the win. $10 for half sandwich and salad or soup. Fresh and tasty. Cash only!- Lears FoolOctober 3, 2015If you want a break from the typical cafe scene, this is a decent bar to drink a couple refillable cups of coffee and read.
Audra CoulombeMay 25, 2013Excellent wine list, delicious food, honest staff.. Try anything. Currently eating the rabbit and it is delicious. A favorite.
Lemmy CautionSeptember 16, 2016Best Neighborhood restaurant I know. Eat here at least 2 times a week and it never disappoints.
Ed JessupMarch 2, 2014Food is delicious and fresh! Drinks are delish! Terrific friendly service! Can't wait to go back!
Aaron BeppuAugust 15, 2011Get the verdura panini, which is better once you stuff it with its accompanying salad. The caprese is also decent, though you can get an identical sandwich anywhere.- Carolina MirandaDecember 31, 2011The cavatelli with seafood is simple, fresh and delicious and doesn't skimp on the shellfish. An all around excellent deal.
- Kingsley HarrisDecember 19, 2012Get the butternut squash soup and a half sandwich (goat cheese and grilled veggies)
ECavaJuly 1, 2013Olive oil cured tuna salad (niçoise) and chilled white gazpacho soup = best summer lunch.
Collin MooreOctober 20, 2012Duck breast is wonderful. Ricotta crostini with walnuts and honey is a must.
If you like octopus get the grilled baby octopus salad. Hell, even if you don't like octopus you should order it.
Good crostini, great staff and you can't go wrong with the fish dishes
Marcello MialiOctober 20, 2014Fish of any kind. Also with pasta.. oh.. I forgot the meet... really good
Mike PNovember 3, 2013The sandwiches have too much bread and the pancakes are too dense. Not a bad spot if you're in DUMBO though.
Amanda BoekelheideOctober 23, 2011Delicious with cute waitstaff. Saw some great music here when it was Dumbo General Store.
nathan archambaultJune 1, 2013The ten hour pork sandwich is so damn good it takes about one minute to eat.
Nice ambience and daily specials. However, not worthy of cash only status and charged 14 for a simple salad. The chef does not like substitutions.
Mark TurnerSeptember 18, 2016Service not great. Not made to feel v/ welcome. Ordered 2 plates 1 of salami and 1 cheese. Were huge when turned up but was shocked to get charged 98 dollars only to be told we got 8 plates worth !
Melania SpagnoliDecember 15, 2014Service and food are terrible. The place was not crawded at all and we took one hour for being served. Our waiter even forgot to bring us silverwear so we had to get them at the counter by ourselves.
