Scottadito Osteria Toscana — Restaurant in New York

I recently hosted a celebration brunch at Scottadito Osteria Toscana, with 40 adults and 10 babies, and it exceeded my expectations. I had checked out a few places in the area to host this party, and it didn’t take long for me to realize that Scottadito blew away the competition, in terms of the beautiful space, menu, service, and cost.

From start to finish, every person I dealt with to plan the party was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and made the process entirely stress-free for me (special shout-out to the delightful bartender, Judy, and super personable owner, Donald). The day of the party, the atrium room was set up beautifully when I arrived almost two hours prior to the start of the brunch (thank you, Sam!), and it was a perfect space for my guests to mingle before being seated for the plated brunch. Dino, the awesome head waiter, and the entire wait staff were extremely attentive, ensuring everyone’s glass was topped off, while not being intrusive. Superb service all around.

And then there was the food… I was able to choose three entrees for everyone to enjoy. You read that right — everyone was plated all three entrees. I chose the Uova Fiorentino, Pane Dolce, and Gnocchetti di Spinachi. How does a restaurant manage to perfect such vastly different entrees for such a large party? Scottadito pulled it off and then some. And it was topped off with the most delicious Torta al Cioccolato Cake. My friends couldn’t stop gushing about how impressed they were with it all, with one friend telling me that she’s trying to think of a special occasion just so she can host her party there.

If you’re looking to host a party with top-notch food and service, look no further than Scottadito. And even if you’re just looking to have an intimate meal (it’s a great date spot too!) — go...

Long overdue review for the one of the best Italian restaurants not only in Brooklyn, but in NYC. When we moved to Gowanus from Manhattan, one of our biggest concerns was being far away from the hundreds of restaurants within walking distance, and on a nice day in March, we wandered by Scottadito Osteria, read the excellent reviews and decided to give it a try. Everything was just great, from the mussels and calamari to the chicken parm and salmon, with very generous portion sizes as well. The desserts are absolutely incredible as well, definitely the best pecan pie I have ever had at an Italian restaurant. Also, if you are dining Sunday - Thursday, their pre-fixe menu is an incredible deal - $45 for a huge 3 course meal and complimentary glass of wine. For $10 more, you can go bottomless, and really wine down the evening

Finally, we had the pleasure of having Arthur as our server, who was great on guiding us thru the menu, allowed us to substitute some minor items, which I definitely appreciated, and was always available, despite waiting on quite a few tables. He is absolutely engaging to speak with, I noticed a few of the other tables having enjoyable conversations with him as well, he is a great representative for the restaurant.

Glad to say, we went back and visited yesterday, celebrating our 6th month in the Park Slope area, and the food was just as good as I remembered. The only thing that had changed was Arthur, who had lost an incredible 60 lbs since we last saw him, which speeded up his service by 50% - lol. We had another enjoyable night there with great food, fantastic service and it is obvious, that every customer there, is enjoying the great food and attentive...

So glad that I found this place. One of my all time favorite boozy brunch discoveries. Located on a busy block in Park Slope this delightful Italian spot doesn't look like your typical boozy brunch establishment at first glance. Beautiful rustic interiors and a live fireplace give the restaurant a pretty classy feel. They even have a lower level which feels like a wine cellar to accommodate private events and large parties.

Brunch is $25 a pop for an entrée and unlimited mimosas or champagne for about 90 minutes. The offerings consisted of a variety of a egg preparations, a few salads, a few types of pasta and some other brunch classics like French toast. I was quite tempted to try out one of the egg based dishes but ultimately decided to go with the spinach gnocchi and was throughly delighted that I did. The house made gnocchi was rolled in a spinach based dough as opposed to a potato based one and it made all the difference when paired with the mimosas as we didn't feel like it was bloating us up. The mimosas themselves were pretty good and our wonderful server Gina ensured that our glasses were always full. They also had a range of brunch cocktails for $5 which looked promising and which I will surely return to try.

All the staff at the restaurant right from the hostess to all the servers were exceedingly friendly and hospitable and they absolutely enhanced an already lovely experience. I will definitely be back here for brunch and for other...
