Un Posto Italiano — Restaurant in New York

I love this place! I feel so fortunate to live so close by. The coffee is delicious (all the great taste of Italian coffee in the iced format that Americans love haha). The indoor café area and back garden are lovely. They sell excellent pecorino, parmigiano, and 00 flour for making your own pasta or you can buy fresh pasta ready-made! The owners are so friendly too and always greet me with "ciao!" :) It's a true gem in park slope. No notes. 10/10. I love it here and the aperitivo that they have in the warmer months is a treat. It's one of those places that makes you want to negotiate for more flexibility at your workplace just so you can go here more. Is that just me? Maybe. But picking up some authentic Italian grocery items and then sipping an iced americano with oat milk at a marble-top table in a little nook in the back of Un Posto Italiano makes me crave a slower, calmer, more peaceful...

Been coming here for coffee most weekends for the past 4-5 years. Great coffee and other Italian goodies.

Quality is top notch.

However, they're trying to push their lunch offerings (sandwiches) so they now require that you purchase food if you want to sit at their tables after noon... and they removed a bunch of their tables recently.

So, as someone who only goes there for coffee, it's kind of a bummer since there are fewer places to sit and they're wanting you to leave before noon. I was even told today (at 11:30am) that the outside backyard seating was only open to lunch or aperitivos.

I find myself coming here less frequently since they've made these changes, tbh. I also sympathize since I know how hard it is to run a small business so I imagine they're trying to strike...

We are incredibly lucky to have this unique shop/cafe/pasta maker in the neighborhood; there is nothing else remotely like it. The notably sleek, Manhattan atmosphere serves many purposes. It's a fantastic, well-lit spot for an espresso to stay or go, freshly made focaccia sandwiches or to sit in the garden with a glass of wine. This is the only place you'll ever need for made-to-order pasta (or gnocchi or lasagne). Not to be overlooked, products from Italy: sea salt, gianduja chocolate, bottarga (even!), pistachio spreads and housemade pesto. It is very family operated (husband/wife duo); they've created a familiar, neighborhood atmosphere, succeeding in distinguishing itself from the gaggle of shops...
