Waited half hour for a table for a party of two on a Tuesday night - BUT the wait was SOOOO worth it. Noodle Pudding is the best in Brooklyn Heights. The calamari was just the right texture; the lamb ragu noodles were good, too. I thorougly enjoyed my Linguine alla Puttanesca -- olives were fresh and tasty. $12 bottle for decent house wine can't be beat. The volume in the restaurant is noisy, but this place has excellent service. The bartender was so friendly -- handles the drinks for EVERYONE in the restaurant all by himself. Would certainly come here over and over again.
Had the calves liver alla veneziana in a fine rich and complex sauce with perfectly fried onions. It came with baked mashed potatoes and a fine garlicky spinach. The bread was fresh, the olive oil dip nicely spiced. My friend was satisfied with his salmon with white beans and greens. The fact that the dishes have their unique sides speaks volumes; there're real attention to the food. The waitstaff are waiters, not models passing time. We went round 7pm on a Saturday, were seated in 10 minutes. I liked the feel of the place from the get go, bustling and alive. That said it was on the noisy side, not really what I'd call "romantic". The neighborhood's great for strolling.
