My girlfriend and I wandered in after a day at Ikea and we couldn't have been luckier. The food is really amazing, like better than some michelin star restaurants i've been too. Hope thats not too much hype but every dish was excellent. The brussel sprouts and the beets were both light and flavorful. Dont forget the foccacia. We also got a spicy sausage pasta (paccheri) which was my favorite and the mushroom pasta (pappardelle) was rich and tasty. The meal was topped off by the gianduiotto hazelnut cake that I can't stop thinking about. Can't wait to come back!

Looking for a good restaurant in the area for Christmas Eve and we found this awesome Italian restaurant. Very very good and authentic, and the pici pasta is something that you can’t find easily in the US. Alessandro is the best host .. highly highly recommended.

One of the best Italian Food in NYC that I have had. They are very welcoming and homey. You have to try the pici, pappardelle, and malfadine. Must go to and try, a true hidden gem in Brooklyn.

Our second time here, because we loved it so much last year we needed to come back. This visit was again well worth it. We were greeted promptly and cheerfully ( I didn't catch the name of our hostess but she was great!) The food and cocktails are exceptional. Risotto croquettes with sausage and gorgonzola as a starter, agnolotti ragu ( the Bolognese was velvety smooth and amazingly flavorful) and Conghiglie Cenere ( house made shells with a gorgonzola sauce and chopped olives) as our mains. We had to try the Tuscan Fries and are now addicted. Gran Madre and the Vanchiglia for our dinner cocktails, with a negroni with dessert. Everything was fantastic. Dessert was also lovely, a butter cake base with hazelnut spread and a whipped topping . (Gianduiotto) -I am taking the names from the receipt, there is no chance I could remember the spelling.- Our server, Natalie, was wonderful. She was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations and overall helped make our night amazing.

Drove an hour and a half to meet friends and try this spot and it was totally worth it! Great cocktails, food, wine, and service! Enjoyable atmosphere, jazzy vibe. Alessandro and other staff friendly, helpful, and professional. Loved the carciofi, squid ink pasta, fritto misto, chicken milanese. All delish! Would have loved to try the vitello tonnato but didn't see it on the menu. Very good Barbera d-Alba (would like to see more bottles in that price range). Great Vanchiglia martini! Looking forward to returning!

On my visit to NY, I went to Brooklyn and discovered Bar Mario, a bar that has all the magic you're looking for, with excellent service down to the last detail. It offers a variety of drinks and delicious prepared dishes. The menu is incredible, I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back Thank you so much!!

We arrived earlier than the reservation time and received a warm welcome, along with excellent service. Feel like home. We ordered two appetizers, two pastas, and three drinks. The 3rd drink, we wanted something mezcal, and the bartender made the one beyond our expectations, five stars plus! Spaghetti hangover I love it! My bf got cacio e pepe, too good, he didnt want to share with me, haha. Definitely, we will come back!!!

Sometimes a restaurant is truly deserving of the many 5-star reviews. Bar Mario is one of those. From start to finish, the attention to detail, the pace and progression of the meal, and the taste and presentation of each dish were all impeccable. There is just so much more care in everything they do at this restaurant….We felt extremely special. We were a large group so we tried all the pastas and were all uniquely delicious. The ribeye steak cook to perfection (one of the evening’s specials) were standouts. To cap the meal Chef Alessandro came out to keeps us company with a fantastic Amaro. What a stupendous experience!!

This was such a pleasant surprise! When another place we were planning to go to was full, we walked in here, lured by the lively atmosphere and it was such a good call. Friendly service and pastas that were devine. We ordered the cacio e pepe and the mushroom pastas and both were outstanding - perfectly cooked and so flavorful. My partner also got a chocolate hazelnut tart which she exclaimed to be one of the best desserts she’s had this year. We’ll be back!

I can’t tell you how amazing this place was. From the atmosphere to the food to the service it was incredible. Most notable item for me was the Caesar salad and the tiramisu. The salad was so well done and the dressing they made anchovy free and was perfect. Love the wine we had and would absolutely come back again and recommend to any friend

We sat outside for dinner and there was lots of seating with a variety of tables for different sized parties. The pasta dishes were superb. Like the best pasta I have ever had. The dessert and espresso was perfection for a post-meal dish. The service was good, the waiter was attentive to our dietary restrictions and attentive. The drinks were also made to our specific specifications.

What a lovely place! The food was delicious and creative, the service and ambience was exceptional- Genti our waiter was amazing with the food/ wine recommendations and service. We felt welcomed immediately and had a lovely time. Spaghetti hangover and seafood salad were a highlight (as well as the perfectly crispy tuscan fries), will definitely return.

The glasses they serve water in are very small and the waiter came to the table more than 7 times to refill it. I wonder why they don't leave the bottle on the table and save themselves from having to go back and forth so many times.

Very good selection of Italian food. I really liked the sandwich and the farro salad, the portions were good for sharing and not too large to fill up with one dish. The sidewalk seating is nice. The staff was friendly, sometimes too busy.
