Italian Restaurant · Clinton Hill · 113 tips and reviews
karen bonna rainert: This place is so delicious. Maybe the best traditional, rustic Italian food I've had in NYC. The baccala and leeks over chick peas is wonderful. For wine, you can't go wrong with Rosso di Montalcino.
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
Kevin Skobac: The perfect place for dessert and nostalgic family fun - big ice cream sundaes, egg creams, floats, and more.
Time Out New York: Try the addictive Sundae of Broken Dreams, 2 vanilla scoops topped w/ caramel sauce from Nine Cakes bakery, homemade whipped cream & bits of broken pretzel. It’s 1 of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011 Read more.
Alex Rainert: The Peanut Butter Cup sundae is coffee bean ice cream (hell yeah!) w/ peanut sauce, hot fudge, whip cream and chocolate shavings. It's a heap of killer flavors that go great together.

Bar · Williamsburg · 99 tips and reviews
J.M. Saponaro: How come I never been to Shelter before ?!Best pizzas that I've tried in Williamsburg so far. Awesomely cosy vibe (love the fireplace)... I will definitely go again !
Global Highlander: In true Williamsburg style, it offers pizza and Argentinian empanadas w/ an interior of a ski lodge and exterior of an Italian cafe, along with aloof service. The wobbly tables spill water all over!
Aimara Toledo: 4 staggioni and truffle pizza are divine! The empanadas are too small for the price. Otherwise, this is the end of Roberta's! LOVE

Compass: Sip mezcal and tequila cocktails, tuck into spicy small plates, and take in the Dia de los Muertos-themed decor and back garden, all by the owners’ travels abroad and the Mexican street food scene.
Time Out New York: This lively eatery pulls in Brooklynites looking for both homey abuela standbys (rich, cilantro-nipped guac; fragrant pozole verde) and palate-expanding fare (tongue tacos, duck-leg tamales). Read more.
Ana Andjelic: Try Margarita de toronja picante. The best.
