Such a spectacular local gem. Vegetarian options are plenty, wine is wonderful, and staff are friendly and helpful. You feel tucked away in your own little spot in Brooklyn. Will be back!
This is the sweetest little Italian restaurant in Brooklyn heights. The ambiance is old school and homey. They dishes are my favorite part, it's dishes my grandmother would have served meals on. I got the branzino special and it was DELIGHTFUL. The fish was cooked perfectly. The capers added this salty goodness to the dish, I would've licked the plate had I been at home. My husband had the lasagna and my son had the mushroom pasta. Both of these dishes were delicious and well executed. I got the strawberry cocktail and that was beautifully done. I definitely recommend this place. A little hidden gem in the middle of the heights. Don't forget to bring cash as it is a cash only establishment.
Such a cute spot within an old deli right by the water! My friend lives in the area and had talked about how much she loves River Deli, so we came here together for dinner and I was not disappointed! All of the dishes we ordered were so tasty! They are on the smaller side when compared to general American restaurant portion sizes, but they are also not as expensive. We ordered the burrata, trofie with pesto, and spinach ravioli followed by the chocolate mousse. It was all so fresh and delicious! We ordered a bottle of wine as well. The service was a good balance of checking up on you without being overbearing, which was nice. It is cash only and they don't take reservations for tables of less than four people I believe. It's a super small establishment, so account for getting there early or waiting a bit. Overall, beautiful location, good food, and good bang for your buck!
Super cute pasta place near the water ! Very cute vibes and oh it's cash only! Calamari - 10/10 Loved it! The sauce was amazing and fried well! Pappardelle ai Funghi - 8/10 The pasta was soooo fresh and delicious. The texture was amazing. The mushrooms were also amazing ! The sauce was on the lighter side so there was not too much / heavy. I would've liked a bit more flavor or cheese but the pasta itself was just so good! Not pictured: Tiramisu ! - 9/10 It was delicious!!! very filling and can be shared with two! Not too heavy and has more coffee flavor than cream !!
