Great neighborhood nurturing on all levels. The feeling of the 'hood' personified. Great bartenders. So not US centric. Yea!!!

Bummed to discover no meatballs in Winter. Great Oysters - and Bartenders are great! Love the fennel salad.

This place is amazing. Just go here. I don't care what you get, just DO it.

Super yum! Oysters are excellent, fresh pasta's, superb hanger steak

It's a nice space and the staff is friendly. But the food deserves to be featured on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Tip: go elsewhere for Italian.

The slow roast pork belly is great, but beware the whole pods of anise in the braised cabbage.

The French toast is fluffy- like eating a cloud. Hanger steak n frites were great too.

Excellent pasta dishes, meatballs and vegetarian sandwich. Just opened July 2011, but solid!

The opening party, July 2010... was slamming but they've continued to pump out some amazing meatballs this side of the east river.

Possibly the best bloody mary in Brooklyn, and amazing french toast

I don't think mimosas should cost $9.00. I also don't think their portions should be so small. lots of potential this place has but we have to call it how we see it. the food is totally mediocore :(

Oven braised meatballs! Unlike any meatballs I've had in a good way.

Great restaurant - the cacio e pepe dish is a winner!
Matthew SchiffmanMarch 19, 2011
Pork belly was a bit dry tonight but this is always a favorite place of ours.

Have the tornarelli with tuna and tomato... Absolute perfection.
Wesley VerhoeveAugust 29, 2010
Pork chop! Wow! So juicy it should be on the back of my track pants.
Patti KilroyNovember 14, 2010
Baked eggs good, but be prepared to use some salt!
Benjamin HaasJanuary 27, 2011
Appetizers are the highlight. Pass on the pastas - they're neither fresh nor house-made.

Sit at the bar. Bartenders are great!
Danielle GentileAugust 29, 2010
Try the veggie sandwich. White wine by the glass selection not great.

"We don't make modifications during brunch" is like telling me, "I could care less you like peppers, don't come back." So I won't. One and done type of place.

Get the Bloody Mary extra spicy!

$4 wine happy hours

If you are not there when it is crowded you will not get service. If they are not slammed, the staff thinks they are on break.
Lacy GarrisonSeptember 18, 2011
12 oysters, $15
Sonia NiznyFebruary 11, 2012
A resounding "meh" . The food was super average.
Sam RosenbergDecember 4, 2011
More hot sauce.
Chris DiChiaroMarch 27, 2011
Not very good. Not recommended. Out of the 4 of us the only thing we got that was decent was the veal stew...
Hannah KFebruary 18, 2012
Wholly unimpressed with brunch. Bad service. Bad food. I do not say this often.
Audra CoulombeDecember 7, 2012
Don't eat here. Really. Nice people, but the food is very bad.
Erica GorochowFebruary 27, 2012
Disappointing brunch. Bad service.
