Calamari was delicious and not too fried, the Eggplant was a small portion but good. Branzino was delectable. I want to go get another bite. The two cocktails were delicious. My Piccante Margarita was perfectly spicy. The Sato Project was fresh and the right amount of sweet.

Sociale is one of those neighborhood gems I keep coming back to—and for good reason. The service? Always warm and welcoming. The vibe? Relaxed but polished. And the food? Let’s just say if fried pizza is wrong, I don’t want to be right. The fried pizzas are the MVP here—crispy, pillowy, and topped with just the right amount of salty prosciutto and peppery arugula to make you question every other pizza you've ever loved. I’ve been here many times over the past few years, and it’s consistently solid. Bonus points for being open on Mondays (a rare gift in Carroll Gardens when the rest of the block goes dark). Drinks are smooth and strong—the margaritas are excellent—but $18 for one on a Monday? No happy hour, no Cinco de Mayo special? That’s the only thing keeping this from five stars. My wallet needed a shot of tequila after that. Still, Sociale’s charm, quality, and service make it easy to overlook the price tag now and then. Just maybe toss us a lime-salt-rimmed bone next time?

Love this spot, especially when the weather is nice enough to sit outside (it gets PACKED though, so make a reservation!) Recommended: - Meatballs - Carbonara - Farfalle Di Mare - Their welcome bread, omgggg - Cocktails (wonderful and beautifully presented) Maybe Skip: - Pizza Fritta (I love fried things, and especially love fried panzerottis, but wasn't in love with their fried pizza here, but just my opinion!) Great spot for dates or to catch up with friends. Service is always fantastic.

The food is amazing. The pasta is just amazingg!!! Also I loved the pannacota. I loved the ambience and very clean. The service is not that good, the server is quite rude when my card can not read by the EDC, but actually it is because my card doesn’t have chip so need to be inserted.

Sociale is a really cute corner spot on Court St in Brooklyn that has a great vibe and decor. I’ve only been for brunch and it was a little u underwhelming, but I would go back to try their dinner food. I usually see people there for drinks in the afternoon/evening but the menu sounds great. For brunch the oysters were good but only came with a mignonette sauce— no cocktail sauce or horseradish or crackers, all of which I would have liked. The steak and eggs was okay; I was excited about the red wine hollandaise but it didn’t have a great or deep flavor. Overall since it bills itself as an Italian restaurant and I didn’t have anything Italian there, I will be back to try more food.

Nice atmosphere and great menu. The wait staff was friendly and we really enjoyed our meals. The short rib appetizer was especially delicious. We had the lasagna and the rabbit tagliatelle. Everything was superb. My only (small) complaint is that the portions were a bit small, but overall the experience was nice and we'll definitely be back.

Are you kidding me? I mean the food is delicious but I just paid $22 for a half and half soup! Except these are more 1/4 size! This soup will be 3 spoonfuls and done! Outrageous

I usually don’t like to give bad ratings. I could be in a mood, the chef could be having a bad day, maybe I ordered the wrong dish, or it’s the end of the day; you know could be many reasons. But I’m going to start giving more ratings, sorry it starts with y’all. Bland, overcooked seafood farfalle. Complimentary bread was horrible, probably had to pay extra for the good bread. Got the mozzarella sticks for appetizer (and yes I mean the fried burrata), it was ok. Chicken dish was good though!

Been here a few times since it opened. Atmosphere has always been nice, but the food quality wile very good at the beginning has declined significantly. Just went there this past weekend and my biggest issue was the service. Even if we were ordering plenty of food and quite a few bottles of wine, we felt like we were rushed and not welcomed. The staff wanted to go home and close, even if this was Saturday night at 10.30/11pm when we got the check. This is not cool. Will never bring my business here again.

After reading some rave reviews I decided to check this place out. I ordered a drink but the food came first - bread and meatballs, both rather bland and unremarkable. The Paloma came next, and they make a decent cocktail. Restaurants at this price point should be crafting memorable experiences. This was not one of them.
