Julie F: This is one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Go with friends and do the tasting menu. Get house wine for your second round -- they measure the bottle with a ruler: you only pay for what you drank!
Sarah Spagnolo: Always an excellent choice but especially on a Sunday afternoon when the tables are outside and the house wine is flowing
Natalia Khilchevska: Great place for romantic date...house wine and duck highly recommended..it is better to make reservation..too popular place

Vaughn Allen: house red is really good
J Crowley: Order this exactly: Carafe of the house red wine is good - and cheap! Robiola and Taleggio cheese as an appetizer. Cavatelli with sausage and sage butter for an entree. mmmmmmmm
Holiday: Pleased as punch over my dinner. Had meatballs, sweet potato ravioli and a side of sunchokes. Even a glass of the house red was tops. I'm looking forward to trying everything on the menu.
Alex Ravenel: The house red is surprisingly good. Friendly bartenders. And the smell of the woodburning fire is incredible.
Moni Briones: We approve of the Crème brûlée, house red (Malbec) and "lovers corner" to the front right of bar.
Lindsey Slaby: Go. Have a seat at the bar. Order a few $10 plates of cheese and crostini. Great wine, heavy pours and unique beer selection. The place is a log cabin and just like home.

Samantha Raizen: Try the house wine at Il Passatore- delicious and well priced! The pre-meal bread is also amazing... careful not to eat too much and be too full for the amazing meal that's coming!!
Brett J: Perfect dinner for two: house red, tagliatelle bolognese, lamb ragu, hearts of palm salad.
Sarah Brink: My favourite Italian in Williamsburg by far, along with Testo (associated with the same family). Super quaint, cash only. Real quality Italian food.

Tess Manning: amaze pizza, and big ol cheap carafe of house wine! back patio is super cute - hanging lights and fireflies!
Chelsea: The pizza is of course fantastic, but the house wine is some of the best and an incredible deal!
Nicholas Doyle: Great crust with a beautiful char, and good mozzarella. The mushrooms and "Prosciutto" left something to be desired. Great atmosphere in the main dining room, and a phenomenal bartender.

Maya Meredith: The house red wine is vibrant and super tasty.
Cole Kennedy: Stellar backyard space, though early in the evening it's occupied by families with children. Order pizzas and maybe a few small plates to share. I recommend the Polpette.
Eater: Peter Sclafini and Kristen Hallett, who own Bar Toto and Provini in Park Slope opened Ogliastro Pizza Bar last week. The upscale pizzeria features a large and lovely outdoor patio. Read more.
