Eater

In the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge , Di Meglio is serving dishes like peeky-toe crab spaghetti and spit-roasted chicken with eggplant , all in a space that is rustic-meets-modern.

Barb Leung

The meatballs are divine—they use dry age beef and yet it is incredibly supple, and you can see the folds in the ricotta .

Chris Thompson

Great spot tucked away in an up and coming area of South Williamsburg. Fresh mozzarella and homemade meatballs were outstanding. The short rib is done with a red sauce , offering a nice flair.

Adam M

Amazing food across the menu. Had a very romantic Valentine's Day dinner at a great value . Smoked mozz was amazing.

Ben Stern

Good fresh pasta , nice service. It's not gonna change your life but it's a solid Italian place and a good addition to Williamsburg

Jerry Wang

The meatballs were surprisingly moist and delicious. The fresh salted mozzarella , clam linguine and calabrese pizza were tasty as well .

Andrea Barrezueta

Came for brunch and had the antipasto (def go for the salted mozzarella !), carbonara and charred avocado .. id skip the last one. Will def come back and try them at dinner time.

Joseph Marchetti

You must order the meatballs !

Manny Valerio

Great pizza and pasta . The mozzarella is a must but don't forget to eat a canolli !!!

Vasiliy Kulakov

Fresh salty mozzarella and the pizzas are amazing

Daniela Asaro

It's been sort of hit or miss, but mostly a hit. The saffron gigli pasta is really good but balance it with another pasta that isn't as sweet. Smoked mozzarella is delicious. Good cocktails & service

Kendra Borowski

Pastas change almost daily and are so good. Very unique approach to Italian food - this is not your nonna’s red sauce joint!! Also the pizza is amazing.

Jordan Brickman

Meatballs ! Sit at the chefs table , the head chef is very nice

Jasmine D

The mozzarella stole the show. Generous staff , great service, and flavorful food (if slightly salty). Solid Italian grub.

Jenna Odett Laskin

Solid Italian food in a beautifully designed space. Love the decor details, including bathrooms . Saffron pasta is unexpected and really good???? . Chicken is OK, meatballs worth ordering, dessert ????????

Kate Furman

Highly recommend the cheese , meat, vegetable sampler, the linguini , meatballs and roasted chicken .

Becca Bae

Drew Sickler

This place was our go-to spot for years. Unfortunately, they’re serving plastic silverware on the patio with plastic cups and still charged full price. Foods great but disappointing service.

Emma

Don’t sit in the back of the restaurant , lots of fruit fly’s and knats. On the walls. Disgusting! ????

Cole Kennedy

Food is fine, but the vibe is a little cafeteria-esque.

J B

I wanted to love it but the food was disappointing. Very average pasta dishes and pricey too.

Matthew Listro

Meh food, gross cocktail , ok service

AmateurConcierge

Decent Italian spot in S Williamsburg. Decor outpunches the food

Vivian Ramirez

Lovely ambiance, the food was a bit rich though. The flavors were not delicate or subtle as they could be to really let the food and technique speak for itself. Service wasn't great for an empty place

ginny h

Meatballs were ok. Big and lacked texture. Might be good for people who like meatballs to start

ginny h

Good but not a destination. Other places with better pasta and pizza .

Stephanie Goodman

Waitress was rude and it took more than an hour and a half to get our food. Not coming back.
