8.7
A nearly century-old Gravesend institution known for upside-down Sicilian square pies, red-sauce Italian classics, and rainbow spumoni. Crowds, picnic tables, and high-volume service make it more of a lively, destination pizzeria than a quiet sit-down trattoria.
Must-Try Dishes:
Sicilian square pizza, Regular cheese slice, Rainbow spumoni
What makes it special: Decades-old Gravesend landmark for Sicilian square pies and spumoni.
8.6
A newer kosher Italian dining room on Avenue U built around coastal pescatarian cooking, polished service, and a quiet-luxury room that feels more Manhattan than traditional Brooklyn red-sauce. It’s priced for occasions, but the execution on seafood pastas, composed fish plates, and desserts justifies using it for serious celebrations.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tuna carpaccio, Branzino with chickpeas, Tiramisu
What makes it special: Modern kosher Italian pescatarian dining with a softly lit, high-design room.
8.3
A kosher Italian restaurant in the Gravesend section of Kings Highway, pairing house-made pastas, brick-oven pizzas, and whole grilled fish with an unusually deep kosher wine and cocktail program. It plays as an upscale, dairy-focused Italian experience that still feels neighborhood-accessible rather than overly formal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Brick-oven margherita pizza, House-made pasta with vodka sauce, Whole grilled branzino
What makes it special: Kosher Italian with a full bar, brick-oven pies, and composed seafood and pasta plates.
