    Always one of the best dinners in Brooklyn! The team is amazing and the food is great. You really can't go wrong, but don't miss the Olio Martini to start and the Red Wine Prunes with Mascarpone for dessert.

    We have had countless parties and dinners here. This place never fails. The food is always great, the drinks are great, the staff is professional and helpful, and the place is always clean. I would suggest to order the mozzarella sticks to start with, the Caesar salad, and the filet mignon. The coffee is always fresh and drinks are always made to order. The price is right and depending on what days you go on, you may want to make reservations.
