Brooklyn Trattoria Italian Restaurant

Food and ambience were incredible! Not too loud, not too quiet. I got the special brisket pasta and it was so good! Kevin was our server and made our anniversary dinner special. Will most definitely be back

My partner and I celebrated my birthday at Brooklyn Trattoria, and the entire experience was absolutely lovely from start to finish. We made a reservation in advance, and they went above and beyond by setting up a cozy booth for us, complete with a birthday card and fresh rose petals—such a thoughtful touch that instantly made the evening feel special. The service was fantastic throughout. The staff was warm, attentive, and timed everything beautifully. Our drinks came quickly, and the appetizers were served with just the right pause before the entrees arrived. We started with calamari and focaccia bread. The calamari was a standout—it came with a delicious dipping sauce and was paired with fried green olives and peppers that added a unique and flavorful twist. We loved it. The focaccia was fresh and satisfying as well. (I wish they served balsamic with the bread but that’s my only feedback) For entrees, I had the breaded parmesan sole, which was served over a creamy butternut squash orzo—absolutely delicious and a perfect match for the seafood. My partner had the halibut piccata and opted to substitute the asparagus for brussels sprouts. The brussels were crispy, flavorful, and so good that we instantly regretted not ordering them as an appetizer! We also enjoyed some excellent cocktails—balanced, well-made, and tasty. For the quality of food, service, and ambiance, the price felt very reasonable. Two appetizers, two entrees, and two drinks came to around $120. To top off the night, the staff surprised us with a complimentary chocolate mousse for dessert to celebrate my birthday, which was a sweet and generous gesture. The owner, David, was present and welcoming. It’s clear he truly cares about creating a great experience for his guests. After dinner, we checked out The Red Room, a cozy speakeasy-style cocktail lounge next door, also owned by David. The vibe was low-lit and intimate. The bartender there was friendly and crafted a beautiful, delicious drink for us. It’s a great spot to unwind after dinner or to visit on its own. We didn’t end up ordering dessert, but the tiramisu caught our eye and seems to be a crowd favorite—next time, for sure! Overall, Brooklyn Trattoria is a gem—cozy ambiance, attentive service, delicious food, and thoughtful details that make a special occasion feel even more memorable. When we’re looking to treat ourselves again, this will be the first place we think of!

Had a reservation and were seated immediately. Ambience is nice. There is. Usually but had no trouble with having a conversation. Service was fantastic. Food was good but I wouldn’t say it was amazing. Tried the focaccia and a couple of pasta dishes and the tiramisu.

Great lasagna. The filet was super soft, like eating velvet. Cooked just like I wanted it. Made for a great anniversary meal and they had roses on the table for me (it was an option in the reservation)

We had the opportunity to enjoy the private red room for our party to celebrate a family member's recent milestone. Brooklyn Trattoria has an excellent ambience, delicious food and impressive wine selection. The focaccia and calamari appetizers were amazing. The service was absolutely perfect, truly our server was attentive, professional, considerate and offered great recommendations. I thoroughly enjoyed the ceasar salad and seafood linguine. We got a few bottles of wine for the table and had an incredible evening. Our large party ranged in age from 2 to 96, each person was happy with their entree and menu options. Thank you to Dave and his talented crew for their kindness and flawless service. Our glasses stayed full and so did our bellies. I took the tiramisu to go, because I cannot go to an Italian restaurant without trying the dessert. I'm happy to report - the tiramisu is PHENOMENAL. I will absolutely return to dine at this time establishment and highly recommend you do the same.

Brooklyn Trattoria is an absolute must-visit for Italian cuisine lovers! The lamb and seafood dishes are standout stars—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Don’t even think about skipping dessert, and always ask your waiter for their wine pairing recommendation; they really know their stuff. Appetizers are just as impressive, so come hungry and leave happy. Top-notch food and service all around!
