Molto Bene Brooklyn Reviews
My last review was good not great. This trip the food was excellent. Salmon was tasty and well made. The pasta dish was made perfectly. Italian cheesecake was excellent
We had a family party for 20 people here. Arthur was flexible and easy to work with. The food was fantastic. Our servers were attentive and efficient. Highly recommend!
Amazing veal and chicken parm. Will definitely be going here again.
First time for dinner on Saturday. Food was great! Very quality and it shows. Got the chicken Francese, pasta, and salad, all very good.
One of the most yummiest Italian places you could go to! Service is amazing. People are a woman and friendly, and the food is just so fabulous!
When i go out to eat I always get veal cutlet parmesan. I must tell you that this was the best veal cutlet I ever had hands down. Awesome place.
Love this quiet little restaurant it’s a Hidden Gem ! The food is AMAZING the atmosphere is romantic the Staff is very friendly and accommodating ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Went here with my 10-year-old. He thought it is five-star restaurant. He like the bread and the penny vodka. We also loved the chicken marsala. The vegetables had a seasoning and taste. You should come here.
The food was amazing. Service was good. It was Restaurant Week so the place was packed. The manager Val went out of his way to make sure everything was taken care of. I would go back again in a ❤ beat. Was with friends and all the food was fabulous.
Went Friday night for the first time with friends that have gone many times before. The food was delicious. I had the best chicken parmigiana that I’ve ever had out. My husband had the veal Osso Bucco. It was falling off the bone tender. Our friends had fish which they always rave about. Our server, Daniel, was so attentive and very friendly! Can’t say enough about this little gem! Definitely going back!
UPDATE: Went for dinner there again on Saturday night. The service was great and the food was even better. I got the grilled seafood appetizer which was shrimp and calamari and scallops and it was delicious. My husband got the baked clams and he said they were very good. For main dishes my husband got the pork Ossobuco with pappadelle pasta. This entree was huge and so good. We ended up splitting it and we took home some of it for the next day. I had ordered the whole ronzino which they filleted for me and I didn't end up eating because of sharing my husband's dish. The next day I had the fish and it was just wonderful. And that was a big portion too. Very impressed with the food and the great service. My husband can't wait to go back and order the pork Osso Buco again Really delicious food and good service. We ordered the hot antipasti appetizer and it was huge. Enough for four people and was so good. Main meals were also good sized portions and really fresh and delicious. Love it that you can make a reservation. Only complaint is that it is very noisy. Hard ceiling and wood floor and the tables are kinda close. But the food and service is so good, it doesn't keep us from returning.
Nice small place Northern Italian food, we’ve eaten here a few times always charming, food is good. Service is always good. Small bar better to eat during the week and not on the weekends too crowded.
We've been here 3 times now. The food is good, well portioned and the staff is very attentive. Prices are a little expensive, but that seems everywhere these days. We came for the stuffed artichoke, which is delicious. It was a large, meaty artichoke, the stuffing was tasty and I love the tangy sauce. We also shared calamari for the table. My husband and dad both ordered a special, fresh black squid linguini with seafood fra diavlo, this thing was overflowing seafood and had an entire lobster tail! The sauce was delicious! Also worth noting- it was a Friday night and it was moderately busy- when they brought our drinks to the table and told told us my dad's beer would be a few minutes. They apparently were out of stock and instead of asking him to make another selection - they sent someone out to get it! He has a cold drink within minutes. He would have happily chosen something else but we thought that was great service. Would definitely go back but we're a little sticker shocked at the pricing of the specials. Obviously prices have gone up and seafood is expensive. All in all we had a nice time and a nice meal.
I found this restaurant by driving by it one night. From the outside seemed like a cute little place to eat. I went for my birthday with 10+ pple. I am not sure how people give these ratings. This is tops 3 🌟 restaurant. I will begin with opening the front door. I enter and automatically smelled mould. I did see they had an odor absorber to try and help but that was not cutting it. Walked in the 2nd door and the smell was still there just not as strong. We made reservations a week prior and table was not ready til about 15+ mins later. Not even an apology. Barely got a smirk out of the guy. As we waited we eventually were seated but 2 guests needed to be moved so we could fit my party. Servers was nice. Food not so much. Appetizers- stuffed artichoke wasn't fully cooked. The mozzarella caprese the mozzarella was hard. Calamari was chewy. My chicken dish was not good at all. The sauce seemed like it was days old. 1st pork chop came out burnt. The 2nd one came out undercooked. We had a few pasta dishes the sauce did not taste good at all. Watered down. Where I was sitting the mould smell was still lingering. We got one apology from a server regarding the pork and was taken care of. Majority of our dishes were not eaten. Not one manager came over to apologize. We were finishing up and they basically cleared us out by spraying tons of bleach. I am not sure if they were cleaning the kitchen but the smell was EXTREMELY over powering. We left with headaches. I am not sure how this place got a 4.6star rating but there are plenty of others place that better. I would not recommend this place.
Food was just ok. Veal was extremely chewy. Disappointing. Restaurant was very small. Tables and waiters were very close.
A giant spider/big black crawling critter in my Valentine's Day dinner on Tuesday- my 4 year old daughter noticed it first and screamed. A black thing that looked like a tarantula was crawling around my oyster. I was so startled that I couldn't even speak let alone eat. Not wanting to ruin Valentine's Day for my family (or for those around us), I tried to hold in my anxiety. I thought a manager or someone would come over since our server did not seem to care one bit - even a complimentary drink would have helped. But for $230, this meal and service was completely not worth it. It's a big expense. Had the restaurant been more apologetic, it could have been a different experience. Instead I had nightmares about it and so did my daughter! I honestly hate writing bad reviews but shame on you for not caring AND for not making it right - especially on Valentine's Day. *Edit - I did say something and the servers laughed. No one fixed anything or made it right. We should have been comped or somehow apologetic for scaring me and my daughter.
