Fried chicken is the biznizzz - 4 gloriously crispy, juicy, flavor loaded pieces. And the burrata with pistachio pesto is better than you'll find at many an Italian restaurant.

Chef worked at the Meatball Shop and the Breslin before coming to this tiny LES eatery. Fatta Cuckoo excels at serving simple-yet-decadent twists on brunch fare like egg sandwiches and French toast.

Different types of mussels every night = awesome. Cocktails are a little hit or miss, but everything else on the menu is awesome. The chicken is one of the best dishes I've had downtown.

Great cocktails at brunch and a fun energy, but service was a bit scattered and brunch food was más o menos. Hot sauce was delish tho.

Kale caeser salad was tasty. And the short ribs were divine. Juicy and full of flavor. Definitely coming back for brunch and their desserts!

the table by the window is great for people watching. friendly staff, ever changing menu, stiff drinks. and desserts made by the chef's mom! double bonus.

"cozy" spot. Mac n cheese was nothing special. The grouper tacos were actually very good. I might come back if in the area but probably only for drinks

The sangria is delicious during brunch but order quick cause they can run out. Also beware: cash only!

Just a wonderful experience. If you're lucky enough to have Isabel serve you, go with her suggestions!

Sunday brunch-get 3 cocktails and 1 entree for $25. 'Fatta Scrambled'-eggs, guacomole and salad had fluffy eggs but small serving and no bread, $12. No soy milk here for coffee.

Get the Marty. The Adult Dude is also great. 3 cocktails with your brunch, and it's a Saturday. Not to mention that Marty is an awesome owner and host.

Try the chicken, its fantastic and deliciously comparable to le cirque's, dovetail's,and spago's, chicken. Must try.
Cody CoatsJanuary 12, 2013
Small portions. So plan on getting something afterwards. The potatoes on the brunch menu are SO delicious!

These guys are always changing things up making it interesting check out their chalkboard outside to see what they are doing tonight!

Local dining that doesn't take itself too seriously, after all, the name is Italian slang for "make crazy." What wont make you crazy? $8 cocktails. We knew you two would get along.
Peter BoyceJanuary 15, 2012
Start with the mussels or pork tacos. Then go straight for the chicken-- amazing.
Marcy RichardsonJune 15, 2012
Try the Pastaless Pasta - Seriously amazing and fab cocktails too!
Matt DuckorOctober 3, 2011
Don't let the silly name and tiny chairs fool you: this is a meal worth eating. Check out the roast chicken.
Gordon WilliamsJuly 20, 2013
The a/c was broken which was brutal. Got "drunch". The Marty wasn't bad, the sangria is tiny, but overall the drinks are decent. Overall...affordable and not spectacular

Have the Key Lime Pie and Corpse Reviver for dessert: unforgettable pairing.
NearSay NYCJanuary 18, 2012
Such a charming place. You must try the key lime pie. Divine!

Service is really sloooow. I had to chase down the waitress for the check. Drink special for brunch may seem like a steal (3 X + entree =$25) but they were watered down. Small portioned subpar food.

Drunch Special on Sundays. Get yourself a Marty and don't look back.

The chicken dinner deal for $25 is rather skimpy :/ tasty but left me hungry

Check out the Sunday Supper Club series. The next one, April 28th, focuses on molecular gastronomy techniques.

Try the Pork Tenderloin - Pork Tenderloin. Pretty Epic!!
AmateurConciergeJune 12, 2014
I literally can't recommend a single dish....worst food I've paid for in NYC. The strawberry basil cocktail (with vodka) was the sole bright spot
Kate FurmanOctober 5, 2014
There's only one chef so the wait can be long.
