The New Rider is the best cocktail in Brooklyn! It's perfectly sweet and sour with rye , ginger , lemon and sage . Also if you want white wine that's a little funky, get the Arneis.

Matt Raoul

I love this small place in the middle of nowhere. Some meat and cheese to start, share some homemade pasta , and then I had a great chicken dish . But, get the duck if it's on the menu!

Emily L.

So good! Bibb lettuce- perfect bite and tartness with the nuts and hint of lemon juice . Lumache was cooked to perfection. Not an overwhelming amount of mushrooms . Beef ribs and striped bass were great

Sarah Sampsel

Cozy space , friendly staff . The wine list is perfect for the food and everything they make is tasty and well seasoned. Try any of the pastas , the crudo , the arugula salad , the cod & the pork . Yum.

Geoffroy Bablon

The corner booth , with all the natural light pouring in, is possibly the best brunch seating arrangement in all of Bk. I haven't yet had the privilege of sitting there, but I keep on hoping...

Brian Moore

What a lovely place, great for a date or just with friends. Haven't had anything I didn't love on the menu, but have a special place for their pastas and their chicken .

Robert Gaal

This please is the treasure of the neighborhood . Next to dinner , having breakfast or brunch here is great. The country-style breakfast is something you'll want to come back for. 

Kevin Skobac

One of our favorite brunch meals on earth is splitting the world's best roasted pork sandwich and a bowl of Rucola's granola . Perfect.

Alex Rainert

Pay attention, delicious pie lovers! Rucola features a "Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie of the day." SAY WHAT?! You need to order this now. They make some of the best pies you'll ever eat.

Sandra Rubinchik

Really great food (always lots of options for your gluten-free, paleo friends) and vibes. They don't take reservations for parties under 5, but there's usually no wait for small groups on week nights.

Magdalena Welcz

Everything was delicious! I can recommend crostini as a starter and a chicken for main! Both great with a glass of wine . Atmosphere is amazing

Linda Chow

Romantic , cozy gem of a restaurant . Good for dates ! I came for dinner once and got the whole roasted trout – it was so delicious! The brunch food is great as well . Can get crowded , however!

Michele K

my new favorite restaurant . intimate , rustic , and delicious. don't miss the roasted carrots over beluga lentils with goat cheese and dill , and the chocolate pudding with sea salt and olive oil .

Evan Cohen

Really top notch - the food is awesome, and try the custom cocktails as well (try The Last Waltz). Tables crowded on top of each other but it facilitates making new friends.

Anna D

Favorite spot in the neighborhood . Great staff ! Food is always so delicious, great drinks from Elliott at the bar . Come here around 3 pm on Saturday or Sunday, bring a book and enjoy life!

Alex Konsevick

Took a small gathering of people here for dinner on Sunday. What an attentive staff . And the pasta dishes (spaghetti and Campanella, both house made) were packed with flavor and portioned adequately.

Daniel McDonough

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu (unless it has mushrooms ). The roasted chicken and steak are both very good. The trout is light and very tasty.

Jessie Rodger

The polenta , brussel sprouts , and rigatoni were all really good! Love the ambiance of the restaurant . It's just always a little packed in there. Still worth the wait.

Steve Wax

I live a block away, fabulous place. Best for a quiet breakfast . Go early for dinner ; if you live close by give Julian the owner your number & he'll call you when your table is ready.

Kyle Bye

Fantastic, cozy brunch spot in Boerum Hill . The Nutella French toast and breakfast sandwich are both delicious. Make sure to get here early on weekends!

Melea S.

Go early. Avoid a wait. The brussel sprouts with maple and apples are incredible. Also, the perfectly roasted parsnips . And the housemade rigatoni with fennel sausage . Awesome awesome.

Beni Chhun

Great, homey farm tables on a tucked away street with solid Italian food . The menu looks pretty seasonal. But the.bruasel sprouts are amazing with nice caramelization and maple syrup .

F. Bastard

Do not miss the roast pork sandwich on the lunch menu : hunks of roast pork , ham , aioli and pickled jalapeños .

Isa Sierra

We had an amazing time over thanksgiving. Excellent food - theit bread and caponata is quite something. Great cellar. Definitely recommendable.

ᴡ Chao

A gorgeous neighborhood spot , quietly tucked away in a residential street. It's like eating at Grandma's. Definitely order the pesto pasta , chicken and CHOCOLATE PUDDING! Divine.

Roniel Tessler

I was expecting more here, but food was solid. The skate was well prepared and the pancetta in the sweet potato salad was delicious. They also made me a delicious Arnold Palmer .

Guri Venstad

This place pulls off both being a cute breakfast spot and having a unique dinner atmosphere. Start the day with their delicious homemade granola

Suzy Tran

Cozy atmosphere with plenty of plants. Egg sandwich was nothing to write home about but the home fries were great!

James Monaghan

Where to start... The crudo will change your life. All the pasta is house made so get a dish of that, and both the fresh fish and the duck are prepared perfectly. Go here and go soon!

Keith Lea

Good brunch . French toast is pleasant. My fiancée likes the egg stuff and smoked salmon

Cameron W

The eggplant sandwich was very fresh and full of flavor. The escarole smoked feta salad was the perfect compliment. I would love to come back to try a pasta .

Mark Johnson

The fresh pasta is amazing, especially the rigatoni . Recommend the delicious carrot salad with goat cheese and lentils . Also, the drinks are wonderfully crafted.

Emily Wilson

Awesome rustic vibe. The appetizers were better than the mains. If they by any chance happen to have meatballs as a special, get them.

Charles B

one of the best restaurants i've been to in all of Brooklyn. Make sure to at least share one of their homemade pastas , which are insane. the chicken is simple, yet amazing.

Allie Mahler

Incredible atmosphere and impeccable design. Go here for a date night , birthday, special occasion , or just for fun. Great for breakfast or an intimate dinner .

Luke White

You must eat the meatballs with creamy polenta for brunch . Meatballs may not seem like a go to brunch food , but they are heaven. Everything is good here!

Christine G

Owner is really friendly , accepts reservations for parties 5 or larger. Rigatoni was amazing, all desserts great but my fave was the chocolate pudding and panna cotta .

Mat Collis

Great breakfast and really nice cozy place

Bill Rammer

Spring for the chef 's choice meat and cheese plate . It was fantastic. The house-made pastas are magnificent, especially the Strozzapreti.

Daniel Barnett

In my humble opinion this is the best restaurant in Brooklyn. Great neighborhood spot on the corner of 2 beautiful streets.

Josephine Son

Beautiful place not too far from BAM. Amazing brussel sprouts & pasta bolognese . Don't forget chocolate pudding ! And ask the waiter how the chickens are killed, they actually know!

7th.List

Fact: The wine list is primarily Northern Italian, the cocktails laced with amari and bitters . There is a vegetable-focused menu of salads and housemade pastas ,many incorporating locally grown produce Read more

Tina G.

Amazeballs! Get the chocolate pudding with olive oil and sea salt - so good! All veggies are super fresh and incredibly tasty. Can't go wrong. :-)

Justin H

Rucola is fantastic - it's cozy , and everything is delicious. I look forward to going back soon if I'm able.

Alex Rainert

The Bloody Mary comes with pickled fennel (!!!), is crazy delicious and super spicy but you're not going to be a baby about it, are you?

Valentin Guerin

Really cute place, Sunday brunch is great! Try the brioche French toast .

John Merlino

Went for brunch and got the pork sandwich , it was a healthy size and mighty tasty. Can't go wrong with the bloody mary either. Must return for dinner soon!

Kathleen Corless

The pie is sick! Changes frequently. Great brunch spot , unique Bloody Mary's , also love the avocado toast for alight brunch option.

Gilt City

Chef Joe Paqualetto, fresh from Daniel and Café Boulud, brings seasonal produce to the forefront of his menu. Meats like Long Island duck are paired with fresh sweet cherries ans braised Swiss chard .

Andy Weissman

Pre 9am it's usually very quiet so a great place to chill and reflect. Always good music playing
