The Malloreddus alla Campidanese was excellent, with fresh, chewy pasta and a rich, savory sausage sauce. The octopus was light, tender with a slight char and briny flavor. The dishes here are really simple but done with care. Just wish it wasn’t cash only

We had passed this place so many times - it was always poacked for brunch on the weekends! We decided to try them out for dinner, and we're so glad we did! First, a caveat: it's cash only (they do have an ATM inside) so no cards! It's a very beautiful, old-school, turn-of-the-century vibe that we love about Brooklyn Heights. We were lucky enough to get a table for two without waiting. To start, our drinks were awesome! The mixologist made a wonderful margarita and the best old-fashioned I've had literally in years! Their calamari fritti was breaded & fried to a very delicate crisp. The homemade pasta dishes were amazingly fresh too. We had pappardelle al funghi (mixed mushrooms, olive oil, parmesan) and tagilatelle al ragu di agnello (lamb ragu, cinnamon, cannanou wine sauce, pecorino) and both were out of this world with flavor and perfectly cooked al-dente goodness. Their torta al limone slice for dessert was outstanding as well. This was one of the best meals we've had in the neighborhood, and we told Morgan (manager/server) that we would return with friends. It's a must! (Just remember to bring cash! And by the way, the prices were very reasonable: all the pasta dishes were around $20, drinks $16)

Cozy quaint neighborhood gem with solid food — fresh ingredients, homestyle cooking, generous (by NYC standards) portions for sharing. Even though it’s annoying that this establishment still accepts only cash in this day and age, we can’t help but keep coming back.

Very authentic, Southern Italy restaurant. My friends have been numerous times for lunch and dinner, but we stopped by on a Sunday for brunch/lunch. Awesome dessert options too! Very much like a small restaurant you would find in Italy. Carbonara made authentically with raw egg! Lasagna is 💯. Trofie is such an underrated pasta. Pane Frattau is straight from Sardinia. Outdoor seating! yay! Cash only, but worth it. (ATM on premises bc there is not one nearby!)

We had a beautiful dinner here, super unique restaurant and location, especially at night. The vegan eggplant, mushroom and squash dish was excellent, and everyone enjoyed their meals, highly recommend!

lovely little Italian spot in Brooklyn heights. Great food, staff is nice, and ambience is perfect. Perfect spot for a casual weeknight dinner with some friends. Chocolate mousse and lasagna were delish!! So was the mint basil gin cocktail

Loved this cute little Italian restaurant. Walked in on a Tuesday night without a reservation and was sat within 5 minutes. It’s a cash only spot but the prices are very reasonable. The cocktails were some of the best I’ve ever had, I recommend the Amaretto Sour. The Lasagna was the best dish out of all of them. Everything tastes homemade and delicious!

Really nice Sardinian restaurant in a great location. The vibe was nice, the food was tasty and the deserts are delicious. Really recommend the chocolate mousse!

Amazing atmosphere, great cocktails and delicious food. I ordered the dish with mushrooms, eggplant infused with butternut squash and truffle oil. Chef kiss! I would come back here for dinner again.

Delicious meal at River Deli. They consistently deliver excellent quality food from the uncountable times I've been here. Highly recommend the ravioli, zucchini and the tiramisu if I had to pick my favourite dished. Service is always efficient and friendly. Would note they only take cash but they have an ATM indoors but just something to keep in mind if you don't want to pay an extra atm fee. I've found theyre pretty efficient and they do take walk ins thankfully the wait has varied between 10 to 45 mins when I've generally been which is far better than many hyped up Italian restaurants which are impossible to book. Finally the area is beautiful so definitely walk around willow town while you wait for your table!
