Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Brooklyn

We were seated promptly and enjoyed the service of a good waiter. Unfortunately I didn’t catch his name. Our party of five enjoyed two appetizers, stuffed artichokes and stuffed mushrooms. We then shared two entrees, lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs. Everything was delicious.

Tagliata was a delight. The food was exquisite, the atmosphere was pleasant, and our server (Marisa) could not have been better — she was pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu, upbeat and attentive. Great food. Great ambience. Great service. I highly recommend Tagliata.

I highly, highly recommend giving Oleum a visit! Had a wonderful time and greatly enjoyed their pizza (we ordered the 1/2 Gabriel and 1/2 Toum Raider pizza), their pasta (we ordered the miso mushroom bucatini), their matcha latte, and their tiramisu. All their food is unbelievably vegan and DELICIOUS. The tiramisu + lattes will absolutely blow your mind away. My only feedback is I thought the sauce that went over the ravioli appetizer was slightly too acidic for my tastes, but the filling was delightful. Oleum is a very intimate dining experience and I definitely recommend visiting during earlier hours to avoid crowds. Service was great and I cannot wait to visit again. I hope that Oleum can stay in Baltimore for a long time.

We did happy hour at the bar. Very well priced and my cocktail was delicious, not at all watered down like in other happy hours. It was also very quiet which was nice. The bartender Darwin is the best! He is very attentive, very friendly and mixes great drinks!

I promised I'd return for the short rib before it came off the menu and I'm delighted I did. It was as delicious as it looked on a neighbor's table during our last visit to C's T. Two of my dining companions had the branzino (always a winner) and the other had a terrific (as it always is) pizza. So happy to have become semi-regulars at C's T - we have thoroughly enjoyed our visits - most recently on a busy Saturday night, another time on a busy Thursday night and a busy Tuesday night.
