al di là

All of the pastas are amazing, but they probably have a special that’s extra amazing, like paccheri with pork shoulder ragù . Hit the wine bar downstairs for a less crowded , more intimate experience.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in all five boroughs. We’ve waxed poetic before, but forgot to mention the White Salad and the Faro Salad , both hidden gems .

Great food and atmosphere, and relatively reasonable. Loved the malfatti and carpaccio . Didn't like the rabbit (it was super pungent/gamey) but maybe it's just not our thing.

Ragu and Spaghetti Vongole were incredible. Appreciated the small details — bread served warm, food was on time, portions were just right, it was warm and cozy inside , and the service was great ☺️

This husband and wife team - Emiliano Coppa and Chef Anna Klinger - knocks it out of the park with their little rustic Italian spot . We love the Carpaccio , Corn Tortelli, & the Braised Rabbit .

New al di là Cafe by al di là Trattoria! Al di là is now serving La Colombe coffee at their bar (separate entrance on Carroll Street). Great coffee and pastries and it's such a lovely space!

I am not someone who goes to restaurants 2x (it's nyc after all) but al di la is the best version of home.food is spot on, unfussy, perfectly seasoned, delicious. don't miss out. reco duck ragu pasta !

This is some of the very best rustic Italian food in all of New York, with a seriously charming environment to match. Pay attention to the specials and add the Tagliatelle al Ragu and a risotto .

Everything I've had here is fresh and delicious. My favorite is the tripe , and the oxtail polenta for appetizer ; and the scallop corn risotto for entree.

Food is delicious and the interior makes this space cozy and gives unique atmosphere. Try daily special with a bottle of Italian wine ???? pear cake made the day.

The pastas live up to the hype; we tried the daily meat ragu , a vegetable cheesse tortellini , and the clam spaghetti , all delicious and perfectly cooked. The two homemade pasta were the best.

Loved the steak and both side dishes- the mushrooms and the escarole . It is a tiny space that got very crowded and VERY loud super quickly. Only serve wine and 2 types of bottled beer .

For starter, Carpaccio was delicious (with some ground black pepper ). Had the spaghetti neri alla chitarra as a main - very very tasty!! Wish I had more time to try more, it all looked fantastic!

Get here early to avoid a long wait for a table, no reservations ! Start with the Trippa Alla Toscana, move on to the Tortelli Di Zucca Burro E Salvia, then the Braised Rabbit and finish with gelato .

"Show up early or expect to wait in line . One of the best spots in the country for Italian food . Braised rabbit with creamy polenta and black olives , saltimbocca alla Romana, or tagliatelle al ragu ." Read more

Came here for my bday w/ my Italian Mom. Perfectly quiet and intimate . We shared an oozy, creamy risotto "of the day" and 2 salads . The risotto was, as we Italians say, bellisima!

Known as one of the best italian spots in the city , serves up dinner and weekend brunch . Can sometimes have a wait, or sometimes you get lucky and walk right in to delicious fresh pasta heaven.

Small restaurant - put your name down and grab a drink at Blueprint while waiting. Food here is delicious! Listen to the specials as well .

Don't let the nightmarish black tangle of the black ink squid spaghetti turn you off—the noodles are dyed in the stuff of sea gods and tossed in chewy octopus confit , basil and fiery hot chili pepper . Read more

Great pastas and ravioli dishes. Get the beet ravioli if available. The rabbit or chicken are my favorite main courses and their desserts are always great

they have a #bar behind the main restaurant . If you need to wait for your a table you can have a glass of wine in the bar and they will let you know when your table is ready.

funghi e polenta may be my favorite brunch dish , ever. Make sure to get it with a poached egg . Also reco the carbonara b/c well , guanciale + spaghetti = heaven on earth

Had the malfatti and tagliatelle al ragu . Butter sauce of the malfatti is super tasty and great flavours for the ragu . Going to try the rabbit next time and risotto !

farro salad : warm spelt salad , roasted squash and cauliflower , red onion , greens, hazelnuts , goat cheese , and brown butter sherry vinaigrette

Got a farro salad with beats and goat cheese , and an amazing special pasta dish with some kind of stewed beef and goat cheese as well , so so good.

Over dinner in the Old World dining room, longtime customers have been known to get emotional about the beet-and-ricotta ravioli , and heated arguments about the best dishes. Read more

Great! Friendly service , intimate setting . handmade tasty food. Went with my fiance and sister, we shared the Kale salad , smashed beets , black spaghetti with lemon and crab , & special A+

Classic Northern Italian dishes like braised rabbit , squid-ink risotto , and calf's liver fill the menu of this cozy Brooklyn spot.

paccheri with pork shoulder ragu , creamy goat cheese , parmagiano, and chives

If you want to try it without the wait show up for the brunch between 11 and 12, there should be a table for you. Carbonara was good, cauliflower ragu was great, and the fungi e polenta even better

Be prepared to queue up for a table: al di là is one of the most popular spots on Park Slope’s restaurant-packed Fifth Avenue. Chef Anna Klinger 's fresh take on Italian fare is worth the wait. Read more

You can’t go wrong with the Casunziel, a dish filled with silky ravioli and sweet red beets bathed in buttery goodness. The simple concoction still captures the essence of a perfect Italian meal .

The brisket hash is the best meal I've had in weeks. PERFECT poached eggs and so many flavorful vegetables !

The rose from Tuscany (by the glass) was fantastic. Had the pasta with ragu sauce, and it was great. Looks like a fairytale storybook inside. I'm excited I found this!

Just a classic. Always a good pork ragu option. If it's crowded , you can order the same menu at the bar next door (behind the restaurant ).

The menu hasn’t changed much since opening in 1998, because it’s pretty much perfect Venetian fare, with particularly excellent pastas . Read more

You can’t make reservations here but once you DO get in, the food is pretty good. They have some really unique items on the menu (Braised Rabbit ). Be daring. Try something different!

Not only a good dinner spot, but fantastic lunch spot too. Not crowded during the week, can bring the kids.

Everything was tasty but much more expensive than the menu listed here. Dinner was all around $25 per plate. So I was not happy about that. However, the service was great, the food was delicious.

The warm farro salad with seasonal ingredients and goat cheese is perfectly al dente and the hand-pinched ravioli are deliciously homemade . Read more

torta di pere e cioccolato: pear cake with bitter chocolate chunks served warm with whipped cream

Hands down my favorite Italian good in New York. Don't leave without the roast chicken and the cuttlefish and polenta

Short yet articulate menu, innovative approach to classical italian cousine... Tuscon Tripe leaves you speechless...

Amazing northern Italian food , consistently surprised with a unique variety of amazing dishes, a real NYC gem

I have tried and failed many times to duplicate their polenta . It's a lot easier to just walk in and get some. Yeah it's that good.

Come for a late brunch/lunch on Sunday afternoon and walk right in. Be sure to try the Insalata di Farro!

This place is incredible! Definitely lives up to the hype. Get the tagliatelle — you won’t be disappointed.

A BK legend! Must try Al Di La...if you can wait get in. Some of the best, freshest, most creative Italian cuisine in the borough. FYI- they take reservations for parties over 6.

Quaint neighborhood spot . Tagliatelle al ragu is a must.
