Ortobello's

Foods great, cozy location, dont let the front storefront fool you, looks run down. Food is great, sauce is top notch Seafood salad is perfect, fillet capricicosa is delicuous, my go to dish, sometimes not on the menu but the can make for you a fried fillet of sole with tomato and onion and i think with balsamic. Been going to this place for years. Eggplant parm is great which i havent had for awhile, chicken francese is very tasty, chicken parm is piping hot and chessy, hot as in heat temp for some reason cutting and eating its stay hot. Vokda shrimp is great. All dishes at this place is fantaatic. If you like octopus that is also great. Also tirumsu is the best in Brooklyn and maybe NYC

We changed the reservation time maybe that’s why we had to wait. Other than that the food was amazing! Everything seemed fresh and delicious. Loved the homemade balsamic glaze! The eggplant Parmesan was melting in my mouth lol. The shrimp was bomb, fried calamari was definitely a hit. Everything was very good. Hands down this place is one of the best authentic Italian places. Definitely must go places! Loved the Italian old school vibes.

Been looking for a new restaurant since my old stable closed years ago. This restaurant is definitely the new one, amazing food and people. Feels like I've been going there for years. Top notch 👌

I’ve passed here often but never had a chance to visit. Yesterday I decided to give it a shot. The restaurant isn’t much to look at from the outside but that doesn’t mean much. The food was amazing. I went with the baked clams for my appetizer. Which were very good. For my main I couldn’t decide between the tortellini bolognese or the penne vodka with shrimp. So I asked my waiter’s opinion & he suggested combining the two. So I took his advice & had tortellini vodka with shrimp. It was extremely delicious, the vodka sauce was especially creamy & both the shrimp & pasta were fresh. It was an extremely filling meal as well. On a side note you may want to avoid eating the pre meal bread with butter & save the bread for the excess sauce from your main. I usually prefer NY style cheesecakes but

Very cozy and clean restaurant with nice ambiance! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were seated right away and the gentleman who waited on us was very efficient. We were first served some bread and butter - the bread was one of the best I’ve had! Adding the butter to the bread made the bread taste even more heavenly. We ordered the ravioli and the chicken parm with a side of broccoli. The dishes were served in big portions and were delicious! They were big enough that we felt like we could have ordered one dish for 2 people. Whenever you get a chance to visit this restaurant, please remember to bring enough cash since it is a cash-only restaurant. Only found out after eating here that the restaurant is family-owned and has been around for decades. So glad we found this hidden
