Patrizia's Pizza Pasta - Brooklyn

The word HUGE takes a different meaning when it comes to the serving sizes of the food here. Sandwiches are twice as big as in most other places. The spaghetti with meatballs literally create a mountain on the serving plate. Pizzas are quite big,too. I need to go back to check their salads. I wasn't feeling carnivore and had a Giardiniera pizza: crunchy dough but a little too burned for my taste. I did love the dipping sauce they serve with warm focaccia.... So deliciously garlicky. Solid place with plenty of seats.

Patrizia's Italian Restaurant on East 26 St. 2nd Ave. is a great family style restaurant. The atmosphere is lively welcoming, the staff is friendly accommodating the food is delicious, fresh satisfying. It's a great place to bring the family, large or small groups, couples or to dine by yourself. Patrizia's is an excellent place for birthdays, work related events or just to eat enjoy. If ever you're in the city you must come here! They have other locations as well.

5 for the vibe and 4.5 for the food! Went here for a birthday and had no idea that it was a party focused restaurant venue lol. Everyone was dancing on the chairs, people were bringing out desserts with sparklers, and I thought I was at the club but that's part of the whole gig! Considering how busy and hectic everything was, I was surprised at how decent the food was. The fried shrimp was tasty, the steak wasn't overcooked, food was piping hot. Considering how much we paid per person I thought it wasn't a bad deal, (but eat your food fast because they will clear out your plates before you're even halfway done without asking). Think Carmine's but with lots of alcohol and club music.

Definitely a party restaurant for I'd say ages 21-25 , but I did end up booking this for my best friend's 26th with a bit younger crowd so it worked! The food was delicious, and honestly given the party vibe and bottomless drinks etc., I was thinking maybe the food may take a hit, but I was pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious and the portion sizes for the family style $65 menu were so generous! (Btw after tax and tip, it came out to $87 per head, which I think is worth it for bottomless dinner! . The service was fast and friendly, they do try to push you to buy the photos they take of you which I was a little eh about, but other than that it was a fun time! We also got this balcony-like seating which I felt like made the birthday boy feel like Tony Soprano, good for the male ego haha. Fun time, good music, a little rowdy but that's the point, and a great spot to celebrate! Thank you so much for a great night!

TLDR: Authentic Italian pasta, bottomless dinner option, great music, impeccable service and fun place to go for any occasion on any day of the week! 10/10 recommend book reservation ASAP because it's always packed. As soon as my friends and I walked in, not only was the music lit, but the restaurant was active... I nearly thought it was lounge because there were so many people dancing at their tables and a group of girls having fun with their friends while dancing on tables. I've been to Italy a few times and I must say, the pasta was the closest I've have to being authentic Italian in a while... As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with fresh Italian bread with this garlic and herb seasoned oil which pairs perfectly well together. If you get the signature Fioretti Alla Boscaiola pasta, beware that the prosciutto is in the sauce instead of bits in the pasta (was a little confused but that . Our server, Edwin took great care of us which elevated my experience so much more! The waiter consistently made sure we were taken care of throughout the whole night : Water cups were always filled and he did everything in his power to accommodate us. Overall Patrizia's is a vibeeee and a restaurant that you will want to return to consistently in NYC!
