Kevin S.Kevin Skobac: The pastas live up to the hype; we tried the daily meat ragu, a vegetable cheesse tortellini, and the clam spaghetti, all delicious and perfectly cooked. The two homemade pasta were the best.

Bruno Z.Bruno Zalum: As a wise waiter told us "there's life before Grandma's Ragu, and then there's life after." I can probably say the same about the sautéed calamari and the fennel alla parmigiana. #impeccable

Charles B.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.

Hamid T.Hamid Tabib: Green apple cinnamon ravioli with duck ragu is fantastic for those looking to explore, but the strozzapreti with sausage/fennel is the traditional plate that reminds you of home. Order both!

SabrinaSabrina: The homemade pastas were great, short rib ragu over duck ragu. Staff was nice but super slow and disorganized. Appetizer came before the drinks!

amNewYorkamNewYork: Try one of the many risottos — they're homemade and well-priced. For starters, creative salads abound — we love the one with grilled corn, fire-roasted peppers, avocado, arugula and shaved parmigiano.

Laura K.Laura Kolarik: The Big Ragu rice balls are fantastic! And the Saturday Night Fever pizza is spicy and delicious.

HolidayHoliday: Delicious food albeit on high calorie side - pizza, calzones, fries. A couple salad choices but would love to see baked chicken or grilled fish. Too much pizza already in neighborhood.

Stephen K.Stephen Kline: Great food and a new music scene!
