Ken Colburn: The baby arugula salad with pecorino, pine nuts, peaches and grapes are a perfect warm day starter! The house Primativo red wine is pretty hard to beat as well...
Celena Chan: Great arugula pear salad and burratina con prosciutto. We had the pappardelle con agnello for our pasta entree and it was delicious! It could've been salted a bit better though, easy fix.
Katie Deedy: get a carafe of wine--they're cheap and huge!

Michelle Cheung: Just love the vibe of this place. It's a nice addition to the sparse lunch and healthy lunch spots in Williamsburg. Their specials r amazing. Soup & half sammie is the way to go if there r no specials
Jack Klauber: $25 for a soup and crepe...but "eveything is made from scratch" 😳
Daniela Asaro: I adore this place. Great tasting smoothies & the all the food is incredible. The taco special 🤯. Everyone is super sweet and the nook upstairs is a nice little hideaway (take off your shoes first!)

David Greenberger: This pizza's insane. Truffle pizza, truffle pizza. Also really cool, ski lodge feel. Great date/hang spot
Global Highlander: In true Williamsburg style, it offers pizza and Argentinian empanadas w/ an interior of a ski lodge and exterior of an Italian cafe, along with aloof service. The wobbly tables spill water all over!
Aimara Toledo: 4 staggioni and truffle pizza are divine! The empanadas are too small for the price. Otherwise, this is the end of Roberta's! LOVE

Cole Kennedy: Margherita pizza was great. Tangy sauce, stretchy mozzarella, and a chewy crust. So good.
Time Out New York: Try the mind-blowing Montanara pizza, deep-fried and finished in a wood-fired oven for a chewy yet featherlight crust. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Sonali Sridhar: Don't fret Motorino closing. Forcella is in a league of it's own!
Gillespie Guereca Adair: Very cool bar with great beers. Pricey, but it is New York
Thrillist: If you’re trying to get rowdy without all the pretense that “eating” brings with it, Radegast is your new best friend. Bring a deck of cards, stake out a massive table, and let the party begin. Read more.
