“ Our best dining experience in 2025, as my partner puts it accurately! The food is phenomenal, and I am genuinely surprised how come there is no heat around this place on the social media! The dishes were so yummy that I couldnt choose a favourite one! The trout was insane, the combination of ingredients in the grilled parsnips was mind blowing, the pasta was so good that you wanted it to never end, and the sauce for the crab toast was one of the closest ones Ive tried to the unmatched sauce from Theodora! Also, I have never been a fan of apple pies or tarts, but these guys know what theyre doing! I admire the chefs risk taking skills in coming up with strange sounding and yet amazing combinations who would think of pepper and ice cream? We will be back no doubt SECOND VISIT These people know indeed what theyre doing The grilled cabbage is a must try! ”

“ Natural wines, creative food and a relaxed, curated experience make this Brooklyn restaurant ideal for an evening amongst friends or a romantic date. The staff is friendly and are happy to help guide your wine choices. The food menu changes seasonally throughout the month, so be prepared to make many trips throughout the year to try new additions as they appear. Try to snag an outdoor seat in the summertime! Protip reservations highly recommended given the small, intimate space. ”

“ We had such a wonderful time at Fradei! We have been a few times and the vibe is so cozy yet fun. The food is always incredible, most recently we had this insanely delicious mushroom pasta. Lastly, but most importantly the WINE, perfectly paired with the meal. Cant wait to come back. ”

“ Tiny hidden gem I hate telling people about because I dont want it to be packed lol but its probably one of my top two restaurants in New York right now. Never disappoints always fresh. Everything is cooked to perfection, fresh seasonal menu and I always find myself trying to recreate the delicious and creative recipes at home. ”

“ Sure, foodservicevibe. But, theres an ineffable quality to this place that we felt last night. There was a lift that occurred where each element of cuisine ingredients, chef choices, menu, cook, presentation, service warm yet appropriate, neighborhood but knowledgeable, measured but not aloof, vibe see above and place within context of WINE. Add it all up and it somehow became even greater than the sum of its parts into some convivial and gustatory other. We live a little bit too far to remember to pursue and time a reservation more than the 6 times weve been over the past couple years we so envy the people we saw dropping by for a later glass and a few dishes. But, we shall continue to make the effort despite the distance. In other words, this is a destination spot that behaves like a neighborhood joint. Just fantastic and somehow getting better and better... ”

“ this hole in the wall gem is the cutest piece of paris in new york. a cozy and intimate wine bar in brooklyn. come here for drinks or dinner before a nets game if you can. the staff and atmosphere are next level and the wine and food are just as amazing. we got the pak choi sneaky star of the show, scallops with apple, lemon, and fig oil so much flavor and so creative, crab toast amazing and agnolotti bursting with flavor. every dish was amazing and the wine was perfect. id go back any day. ”

“ I never had Italian food that was this original. All the dishes look simple, but theyre deceivingly original and carefully crafted to produce a unique tasting experience of flavors, textures, and visuals. The staff is very chill and the 80s music helps you flow through the 5 courses. I especially loved the dessert, smoked fish, and the vegetables, but everything was good. ”

“ This place was recommended by a food loving friend and it did not disappoint. Intimate and casual setting with well executed food and an extensive wine list. Our favorite dishes were the mussel toast, the halibut and the pasta with Jonah crab. Also, the texture on the honey cake was unexpectedly light. A lovely dessert! Its very small space, but they seem to keep seats at the bar for walkins. I would definitely book a reservation. ”
