Gen Bochanty: The gorgonzola mushroom polenta is out of this world! Ask for a side of grilled bread to dip in the sauce (costs extra but worth it)
Martin Peacock: Beef, veal, and pork ragú Bolognese, all the way.
Alex Rainert: The Cubano Italiano panini is off the chain. Braised short rib & prosciutto with red onion, peppers and swiss cheesy. Come get some.

American Restaurant · Carroll Gardens · 354 tips and reviews
John Wiseman: Sundays only: roasted chicken for two, with grilled bread & spinach stuffing and a soft-boiled egg oozing over the top.
Jay Miner: Hidden among all of the other amazing items on their menu is the best burger in the neighborhood - and it's a good deal, too. Eat it.
Serious Eats: Southern-inspired and always interesting, Buttermilk Channel is worth checking out. The grilled flatbread and vegetable sides with cheddar waffles are always stand outs.

Italian Restaurant · Sheepshead Bay · 10 tips and reviews
The Corcoran Group: Straightforward, home-style Italian food, with the BEST garlic knots. Get the house salad, followed by fried zucchini and something from their specials menu.
Gregory Fillinger: Good stuff
Ilyssa D: Fresh, delicious, can't go wrong with anything on this menu...and top it off with zeppoles!

Natalia Khilchevska: Great place for romantic date...house wine and duck highly recommended..it is better to make reservation..too popular place
Food Network: Ted Allen hungers for the Italian cuisine at Locanda Vini & Olli in Brooklyn, NY on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. We recommend the Duck Breast w/Fruit Compote. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more.
Vianney Brandicourt: Beautiful restaurant. Wood paneling evokes an old Italian library or pharmacy. Recs: Thyme maltagliati w/ roasted mushrooms. Pignoli cookies for dessert. Service isn't in-your-face. Great vibe overall

jon ferrer: The pizzas are obviously great, but the (unsung) true stars are the veggie, pasta and kitchen dishes. Also a surprisingly great pastry program. The stracciatella w grilled bread is a must.
Yesbelt Fernandez: The pizza is awesome. The toppings are unique. Pour some spicy oil to enhance the beautiful flavors. Wear your hipster garb.
Eater: Here's what happens when hipster chefs get it right. Market-driven goodness and go-to pizzas. Check out the Heritage Radio Network, which broadcasts from the dining room on Sundays. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Jim Herman: Ideal French bistro: good food at very good price and laissez-faire attitude (this is a good thing). Please visit again and again, we need more places like Olivier!
The Wall Street Journal: The quiche lorraine salad is a classic! Read more.
Funes: Everything is good here! Brunch especially. The service is tight and fast, but fuck if they only take cash. Hey the IRS called they want their money...still worth swinging by the ATM.

New American Restaurant · Williamsburg · 188 tips and reviews
RJ Dugan: Check the specials. If the shrimp with pimenton is on the menu, call me immediately—and save me a seat. The Roasted Daurade dish will change a bad day to good. Great cocktails. Great espresso bar.
mark verbos: The coffee is rocket fuel. I may punch someone.
Marshall H: If you want to cure a hangover you've gotta order the slow-cooked pork with jalapeno cornbread & over-easy eggs. Mix it all up and add some Tabasco. Hangover = gone.

Steven: 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!
Time Out New York: 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.
