Noodle Pudding

Great atmosphere. Very cozy and friendly space. Would recommend dining near the front of the restaurant as it seemed more comfy than the back. Felt a bit rushed by the service though that’s not uncommon in NYC. The focaccia was ok, a bit too thick and chewy. The pappardelle with oxtail ragú was very good though unremarkable. Appreciated that there was an affordable $5 glass of house red wine on the menu. Overall good place to go if you’re in the neighborhood and want a nice Italian meal in a good atmosphere.

Definitely worth the trip, although not a 5 star. As everyone noted, this is CASH ONLY. Before 10pm, nearest ATM is 5-10 mins, after 10pm it's 10 mins so do bring enough cash for a good tip. We went without a booking at 9pm for 5 people. Indoors did have an excellent vibe but we were starving so were happy to sit in the outside covered section without waiting 40 mins. Even in December at 9 degrees (European) with the heater at the back it was definitely not even needed for jackets. Front of house is amazing, so friendly and chatty. As we were outside, getting attention or staff became tricky but everyone was very nice when we did. Despite it's reputation, we went for the garlic bread with homemade chilli oil, which is 100% a winner & still sad we didn't buy any. Do save some if you get pasta to mop up the juices as it went so well with the lasagne. The cacio e Pepe with asparagus & egg yolk went down very well, and the wine selection isn't outstanding but decent enough. We skipped dessert but everything looked great. I'd 100% recommend this as a safe, delicious, and fun bet for a group dinner. Would definitely go back.

What a lovely restaurant this is! There's a great vibe here. Really strong representation of local diners and also people from slightly further afield (Jersey, etc) with a couple of tourists thrown into the mix. If there are only two of you then I highly recommend eating at the bar counter. Tom (the bartender) was amazing! He works that bar like an absolute demon but is really attentive to the diners at the counter. He's a credit to the restaurant. Great food, fabulous atmosphere! I'll definitely visit again next time I'm in Brooklyn.

My husband and I LOVE this place. We have been living in this area for almost 5 years, and three of them we are regulars there. So my favorites: carpaccio, buratta with tomatoes (summer mostly), lasagna!!!, and any pasta on the menu actually, panna cotta, tiramisu, and extra dirty martini 😉 Great place for a date night. No reservations and cash only! Really appreciate this place and all the personal there. Guys, you are doing a great job. Thank you!!! 👏🏻

Super cozy spot with authentic Italian food! Nothing fancy, just fantastic quality that you don’t get at a lot of other places. As a heads up: They don’t take reservations and only accept cash. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were top notch. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Thanks for the great dinner, will definitely come back.
