Good food, solid taste. I really liked the fluffy cheesecake and the pasta sauce. The octopus flavor was subdued by the seasoning, and the fennel salad barely had a few shavings of fennel. I loved the decor. Even the table in a dark corner at the back of the room was pleasant to sit at.

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!

We had a wonderful Sunday brunch outside. The Bloody Mary’s were perfect and the steak & eggs hit the spot. The menu has an Italian flair and we will be back for pasta soon . Great Italian wine list too 🇮🇹🥂 grazie mille Henry , Jose & West.

💵 Cash Only 💵 posting because I forgot this in the past. Great spot with perfect pasta dishes on the most beautiful block in Brooklyn Heights.

Cash only spot, and doesn’t take reservations unless a larger party. Didn’t try any, but the cocktail list looked good, and plenty of wine options. Octopus was ok, but everything else was amazing. We missed lunch so had an early dinner when it wasn’t busy but around 7pm every seat was full. Great neighborhood spot and loved the branzino (special) and the spinach ricotta ravioli

Excellent, homely Italian food in a cute setting with friendly service. Been multiple times for date-nights and with small groups of friends and it hits the spot every time. * cash only * (they very clearly state this on all the menus)

The first time we ever went here was the most lovely dining experience I've ever had, loved it so much we came back the next two nights. I stopped here before and after a trip to Italy, this place is better than any restaurant I tried on my trip. Everytime I'm in Brooklyn now I make it a point to grab dinner here. The food is always excellent, the atmosphere is incredible and the drinks and desserts are amazing. It's cash only but they have an ATM in the back. Try the tiramisu with a cappuccino!

Came with my family over the summer. The food here was pretty good. It was sweltering inside because they had no AC and the doors were open' though

Small restaurant near Brooklyn Bridge Park that we happened to find, and a good one. Staff were friendly and foods were tasty. The portion are not large, but it is cooked well and worth it. I had a grilled octopus, and so fresh and very well done. I would like to come back.

Great Italian comfort food in a very cute location in Brooklyn Heights! Go here then go to the park or the promenade. Loved the lasagna and the pasta - will be back soon!

Amazing neighborhood spot - cash only - no reservations. We had the lasagna and a special for the night, which was branzino with spinach & potatoes - it was so good. The staff was nice and it was a quiet, chill vibe. Dog friendly in the front patio. Will absolutely be coming back!

It is a great little neighborhood restaurant. It has a homey and warm atmosphere and is usually nearly full. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. The wait for the food can be a bit long though since the kitchen is only large enough for 2-3 people. So sit down order some coffee and just relax. Great place for brunch on the weekends.

Local Italian favorite. Lasagna was very good, staff friendly. Appetizers are overpriced but main dishes are in line.

The best you can ask for with Italian home style basics. Absolutely simple and delicious perfection. The staff are always very kind too. This place is a hidden gem.
