Kathryn D: Delicious food and comfortable atmosphere. Sit outside if you can and order the gnocchi with shrimp.
Shelly Xia: Got norvegese (poached egg and cured salmon), and gnocchi (with shrimp and kale). Sooo good!
Evie: Some of the best Italian you will have in New York. Start with the beet salad (with arugula, orange and fennel) and get the cavatelli and lasagna. That's what we did and it was amazing.

simhskal: Excellent pastas and salad. Recommend Gnocchi with mushrooms and cream, risotto with butternut squash and blood orange tiramisu for real!
amNewYork: Try one of the many risottos — they're homemade and well-priced. For starters, creative salads abound — we love the one with grilled corn, fire-roasted peppers, avocado, arugula and shaved parmigiano.
kawaiiko: Everything is good here...but service is slow. Be prepared to be here for two hours for dinner.

7th.List: Take Note: If you manage to fight your way through the door, pay special attention to dishes like...Malfatti(Swiss-chard gnudi); casonziei; braised rabbit(with black olives and polenta) Read more.
Chelsea Renaud: This is some of the very best rustic Italian food in all of New York, with a seriously charming environment to match. Pay attention to the specials and add the Tagliatelle al Ragu and a risotto.

Jim Herman: Gnocchi under seasoned and burger gets a pass. Feels like there are quite a few kinks to work out still. The outdoor space is nice though.
Meaghan: The king crab hushpuppies were delicious as well as the lobster gnocchi dish. service was awesome as well! Definitely would recommend
Shane Lennon: Excellent food in Brooklyn at lower prices than equivalent in Manhattan and nice informal/casual scene. Check out the Foie Gras, Veal Porterhouse & the deserts :)
Running After Ale: Need an Italian Provisions fix? Fresh pasta, sauces, meat, olives, fresh bread... you get the idea! This place is a gem. Everything is fresh and amazing.
Serious Eats: Italian deli with standout hero sandwiches, fresh pasta, and excellent fresh mozzarella.
Alex Rainert: Don't feel like making dinner? Russo's is always full of fresh + delicious options to piece together a killer potluck meal. Great main and side dishes to be had (ps: roasted artichokes are amazing)
