Il Passatore - City of New York

It's not classic Brooklyn Italian. It's Italian Italian! My only wish would be a better selection of local hard crusted Brooklyn Italian bread. Focaccia cubed? Fuhgeddaboudit! Seriously, the food here was fantastic!!

Uuuum....wow. Just so fresh and so good. Visiting friends in NY, who used to live around the corner from here. This was their neighborhood joint! I wish I had a neighborhood joint so delicious!! Eat here.

We loved our authentic meal at Il Passatore. This is our first visit to Williamsburg and we’re surprised this place was so affordable for the quality of the food and service. We sat on the covered patio on a warm June Friday evening. We shared the caprese for an appetizer and then he had the squid ink pasta and I had the carbonara. The flavors and ambience transported us back to Venice. The servings were pretty huge too. The kitchen was trying out a new watermelon panna cotta recipe and offered to let us try it. I really hope they keep it on the menu for the summer because it was perfectly delicate and had a lovely, intense watermelon flavor. Enjoy slow food at Il Passatore!

We have eaten many times at this restaurant and the food is always amazing. The service is great and the ambience is perfect to enjoy a great meal. They also have a nice covered outdoor space in the back that is intimate and quiet. We especially enjoyed the variety of deserts. The best Italian restaurant in Williamsburg!

The best authentic Italian food in Brooklyn. Fresh homemade pasta dishes, every dish has fresh seasonal ingredients, delicious baked bread to eat as you wait, the wine selection is small but every wine listed is a great bottle which you can have half/full carafes of, try any coffee flavored dessert and the pannacotta is to die for. The place is small you might not even know your walking past the best Italian spot in Brooklyn.
