Jeffrey: Prosciutto di Parma - Killer crust, a chewy slightly charred base, and a slew of inventive toppings like Brussels sprouts with smoked pancetta or cherry stone clams with oreganata butter.
Melissa Valencia: It was amazing! Great pizza and arugula salad with pancetta pepato (bacon) FANCY!!
Tasting Table: Breakfast pizza ($14) involves runny fried eggs & sweet-salty pancetta that clings to pieces of melted fior di latte mozzarella. It's everything good about the bacon-and-egg combo on a charred crust. Read more.

Beril Esen: One of the best places for thin crust pizza in Brooklyn. Shorter wait than Grimaldi's. The no 1 special has great toppings. Can anyone go wrong with pancetta, mozzarella, scallions, and truffle oil?
Graylyn Roose: Lively spot in DUMBO, right next to Grimaldi's. The No. 1 special is the quintessential white pizza, with pancetta, scallions, truffles and more.
Sandro Pugliese: Pizza! #1 with scamorzza and pancetta is amazing

Tom Wahlin: Roasted chicken with smoked pancetta, spinach, celery root, and leeks—recommended. Don't forget to pay with Cover.
Roniel Tessler: I was expecting more here, but food was solid. The skate was well prepared and the pancetta in the sweet potato salad was delicious. They also made me a delicious Arnold Palmer.
Charles B: one of the best restaurants i've been to in all of Brooklyn. Make sure to at least share one of their homemade pastas, which are insane. the chicken is simple, yet amazing.

Jo Rausen: OMG the artichokes...fresh, full hearts. So subtle. Save your bread to dip in the mint-butter-oil. Followed by chicken livers wrapped in pancetta & I'm raving & the entrees havent even come yet!
Mimi: Start with the apple cinnamon ravioli to share. Then move on to the rabbit and end with the vanilla panna cotta
Charles B: Their signature ravioli with be duck ragu might sound strange but it's one of the best dishes in Park Slope. Bon appetit.

Stina P.: for dinner, order the kale salad and riccia. sit outside during summer or inside for a cozy night. you can get pick up orders to go also!
Gothamist: Skip out on the fancy stuff. The simple spaghetti lemone—al dente spaghetti seeped in a light, tangy butter, garlic, olive oil and lemon sauce—is a revelation. Read more.

Sabrina Merchant: Lovely new spot in the hood - bartenders and the manager are super friendly and have a great deal of knowledge about everything they serve!
Lauryn Goldberg: V tiny in here, you have to be okay with being as smooshed as possible. The grilled octopus and all the pastas make it worth it.
