Got the clam pizza. Crust was good. Flavor was good, but missing the clam flavor. I understand a heavy clam taste might be offputting, but it is supposed to be the main ingredient.

Had the pleasure of dining at Barboncino recently, a wonderful experience overall and highly recommend. I know their Margherita pizza is out of this world and it was even better than I remembered. I asked for a suggestion on a wine and the bartender, Nikola, gave a great recommendation and made me feel right at home. His friendly demeanor and excellent service are top-notch so if you are at the bar, you should ask for him. And for anyone in Brooklyn looking for great pizza, wine, and even better hospitality, you should go to Barboncino now! Get that pizza!

Barboncino Pizza was absolutely delicious! We arrived around 7:35 PM and did not get seated until around 8:50 PM. We were able to hang out at the bar, so it all worked out. The food was delicious and came out quick, the drinks were great too. The menu is small but not small to the point where there wasn’t something for everyone. I would recommend the caprese salad & any of their pizzas with hot honey & basil added!

The pizza is just how I like it, thin crust and fresh ingredients. Cute date night place as well.

Was there to get a takeout pizza for counting down at the park, but we were told it could be 10-15 min wait, so we went over to the bar to grab a Hot Toddy. OMG all the servers are so nice. I MEAN REALLY NICE, esp Doug ! We even got seated to have the first few bites of our pizza after we got it since we still have a bit of time ! The pizza is yum ( got artichoke white pizza ) , the place is packed and has a good vibe !

We were the only dine in customers. They brought us water immediately. The appetizers were excellent, though I feel the staff is not good at explaining the dishes. The Lamb saagwala is good. I wanted to try new things, so the only known thing I ordered was garlic naan. I can't handle hot spicy food, so I deliberately asked before choosing my food choices.

Had the opportunity of enjoying this establishment for the first time. A early Birthday dinner for my cousin and I. At first I was a little skeptical cause I never ate Indian food . Let me tell you they did not disappoint me at all. I ordered the Red snapper with the vegetable rice. Food came out sizzling hot. When I say it was ooh so good. Lot of veggies on the fish but that was ok. Look I didn’t think about taking pictures. 😂😂😂😂 I was ready to dive in. That’s just what I did. Yes I recommend giving it a try. You and your friends, solo night. Date night or what ever. Just keep in mind it’s not a big establishment but it’s worth the time. Trust me.

There is a warm romantic air about this restaurant. The lighting, decor and ambience is perfect for a first date or romantic dining experience. Our host was so delightful. The service and food definitely lived up to the restaurant's reputation!

Stroll into either door (Franklin or St. John’s) to enjoy a potent cocktail and satisfying bar food. Nice tap selection. Try the house burger or grab an Impossible. Wings and dipping sauces work fine. Casual vibes with some upscaled decor. Plenty of room for groups.

Franklin park as always been kind to their locals and new comers. Pre covid days, the yard was 4/20 friendly. This place actually has two bars, one quite resteraunt style where you could eat inside. The second is more strictly for bar and karaoke. The "party" side. There is also a resteraunt, which is also attached to the bar where you can eat and have an even quiet environment. Plenty of space outside and the varieing events do not get in the others way in terms of music sound or crowds. The food, although still delicious, has depleted in portions. Especially the burgers The plain smashbiurger with cheese used to be at least 4 fingers in height and reached both sides of the serving basket a the was around. I still personally come to smashburger because of the consistency of the quality of burgers and fries.

Had a good lunch with a friend here; the entrance on Franklin leads to the small part of the bar but there’s an entrance on St. John’s Pl that leads straight to the beer garden section. We shared large fries, 2 cocktails, each had a sandwich and were quite content. Check out the plan on my profile if you need date ideas!

Good lunch special for a burger, but toppings are expensive. Went for a lunch special the other day. Burger was good, but it was quite small. It does come with fries, lettuce, tomato and a pickle. Otherwise they do serve alcohol because they are part of Franklin Park bar. I wanted to get a shake too, but they are incredibly expensive. They start at $9. Staff is friendly and attentive. Most tables are 2 person tables but there are two booths available for larger parties. Place is wheelchair accessible.

This was my first time and when I left, I could not stop talking about this place. ABSOLUTELY delish!! The atmosphere is beautiful, I went with a friend but it can definitely make for a nice date night! I had a variety of fish and shrimp tacos, chips with guacamole, and a really strong margarita! Can't wait to go again once I'm back in NY!!
Jerelle Reverack - 3 months ago

My family and I had such a wonderful experience when we all stopped by for some delicious tacos! It was the best New York taco I’ve ever had! (And I just moved here from Houston TX so I know my tacos)! The waiter literally made our day. He wasn’t rushed and made us just feel really taken care of which is something we all needed to feel as a family as all of our family who would normally be helping right now is back in Texas. My husband Ken just finished his last chemotherapy treatment two days ago, and he has been in unimaginable pain on and off for months. I’d have to say the atmosphere, the food and most importantly, the service made him feel so loved. We will be back!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Really high quality Mexican food with great staff. The guacamole is served in a traditional lava bowl with house made tortilla ‘chips’ and the tacos are next level. Neighborhood gem. Highly recommended.
Filippo Gentile - 6 months ago

Our new favorite Mexican place in the city. Went for brunch on Sunday and it was all perfect. Delicious authentic food. Pleasant environment and super nice, efficient service. We will be back.
Mark Dimont - 5 months ago

5/5 for the mole and the homemade conchas. As for the atmosphere, it’s colorful and lively, the staff is happy to be there and they demonstrate it with their warmth and friendliness. Now the food was not Mexico City standards, but it was probably the best Mexican food anywhere on this side of Brooklyn. I highly recommend the chicken mole which has a velvety chocolate and nutty taste.

Went here with some friends for brunch and was a bit disappointed. For starters upon arrival the restaurant looks closed for the outside , luckily one of the staff members were outside and invited me in. Upon entering, the restaurant is very spacious and clean.( I can easily see this as the perfect venue to throw an event) . I ended up getting there way ahead of my two friends and the bartender took pity on me and offered me a mimosa on the house, which tasted amazing. Once my friends arrived, we ordered a plethora of food ranging from chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, fish and grits along with a picture of mimosas. my friend seem to enjoy their food. However, I thought the food was a bit underwhelming (I had the chicken and waffles). please know this is personal preference and also know that I’ve brunched quite a bit, and this was very underwhelming to me simply on taste. My friends seem to have enjoyed their food and didn’t make any complaints. The service was great and not too long after my friends arrived, so did the DJ. Pros: Very nice vibey atmosphere, especially once the music is going. The staff are very nice and accommodating as they needed to be a few changes made to one of my friends order because she is vegetarian. Although I did not like my food, the portion sizes were really good, especially for the price and they have vegetarian options. CONS: when they have brunch, that is the only thing available to order which sucks because the brunch menu is very limited in comparison to their dinner menu. I do think I’ll return as I do think they’re done the menu is much more appealing to me. It seems like the night scene is where it’s at up in there lololol. So for now until next time as I’ll definitely be back..

Got my food to go during the West Indian parade and it was the best soul food I had experience so far in NYC, Laurence the chef wasn’t joking about his catfish, the green been also tasted amazing and the Mac and cheese it was definitely different from the average, I’ll be definitely looking forward to have a proper dinner at his venue

My favorite: Fried Chicken Wings w/Waffle. Never disappointed with the brunch or regular menu. Music and vibe is 🔥 If your ever in the neighborhood of Franklin Ave you MUST visit 95South!
TCP - 8 months ago

A hidden gem I'm so pleased. I initially came on a Friday for a birthday & recently came back on a Wednesday just amazing food, entertainment & drinks. If your in Brooklyn a real good place to get a meal enjoy the music with excellent service. My new favorite place BROOKLYN always do the mind body soul good.
Kim Harris - 3 months ago

The entire atmosphere at 95 South is absolutely WONDERFUL. The food/drinks delicious, the staff is friendly, & the Dj is amazing. Friday evening hangout with the girls was exactly what we needed. We'll definitely be back.

Your average Starbucks. Great drinks, service, and interior design. My issue though, is that it's too packed almost all the time. The space is too small and seating is not enough to accommodate the amount of customers.
Rachel Silverman - a month ago

I made my order online and the payment went through. Went to collect but one item was missing. I was disappointed but understood they had nothing to do with it. The server and cashier made sure I left with a huge smile on my face. Sometimes it's the small things and for that we should give thanks. Awesome job team.

Ryan is a great bartender. Hospitable, kind, and great conversation. The selection is standard and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend for a low key bite/session.

Solid bar with solid food! We got the nachos, popcorn chicken (which I really liked,) and a large order of tater tots. It’s a nice dive bar!

I thought I came over to my family's house to have dinner the way the service was so homely. Even the customers who came in after us I thought were friends with the owner due to the comfortable conversation they were having. Amazing place to have something healthy to eat late in the evening. Intimate, warm, cozy, and full with love and gorgeous plants. Mix max colorful caribbean-style decorated spot. We were going to take it to go, but decided to stay and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. It's not a place for large groups, but a romantic date or hanging out with a couple of friends would be fitting. We can't wait to return and try other dishes on the menu.

I recently moved to the neighborhood and have been meaning to try this place out- we stopped by their smoothie shop today and Shonda was SO friendly. We were a little undecided on what to get, and she recommend the damn boy wrap but with her modifications- adding rice and plantains and it was fantastic. She was so nice to split it and our smoothies three ways for us without us even asking. Everything was delicious. Then on top of that, she gave us one of their macadamia cookies to try before we left. The vibes were excellent, the food was great, service outstanding. So excited to live close by, will 100% be coming back

This cozy restaurant was like stopping by a family members house for a good home cooked meal. In this case sooooo good. We ordered the Ital Veggie Jerk Chicken and the Thai-Fi Stew. Absolutely delicious, seasoned well, and made with a whole lot of love. Then we ordered the carrot cake. It was so good that we ordered another piece and it was the last piece of cake. We will be back.

Very surprised and sad that I didn’t come here sooner! Tried their Sicilian square and original slice and both were excellent. This is a quality Brooklyn pizza joint with the vibe that seems to be missing from a lot of places. The owners were very friendly and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Definitely looking forward to my next time here.
Andrew Dabydeen - 2 months ago

I got there a little before closing and they were putting everything away. Luckily the Sicilian cousin was there and he was nice enough to make me a pie. My advice would be is to get there one hour before closing just to make sure you are going to get what you want. I was impressed with the way the dough was thick and crispy. My wife being from Argentina loved the pizza because there was a lot of cheese. One last thing, if you want to save a few dollars pay with cash.

Woooowwwww! I went on a Thursday afternoon to grab slices and dessert for my friend and I. Everything was amazing! The pesto burrata was so flavorful and creamy. The everything seasoning on the pepperoni had me loving the crust just as much as the rest of the pie. Not sure what the last one is called but I think it had like sesame seasoning on the crust and it was delicious! Service here was also excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful with suggestions. I think one of the owners, Joe, was at the counter and he was very sweet. I thought the prices for the specialty slices were a bit high, $6.50, but after eating, I felt they were well worth the price. Highly recommend you try this place for good pizza with good quality ingredients and flavor.

Fantastic speciality pizza. Had a really tasty jazzed up pep and cheese (see photo). Good place. Really nice people, enjoyable atmosphere. Clean bathroom. Great overall place.
Masked Maniac Reviews - 2 months ago

5/5, 10/10 EXPERIENCE AND FOOD. The crust is so light and fluffy but crispy and not heavy. The flavors are exquisite and pop with every bite. I got the Chicken Prosciutto slice and my gosh, it was amazing. Literally best pizza I’ve ever had. Also the following pics are the before and after of my slice and if that doesn’t speak for itself, I don’t know what will.

One of the best bagels I’ve had in the city! I had previously checked out another location in Manhattan, but this one is so much better! I don’t know if it’s due to coming in off peak and not during the morning rush, but this bagel was so much more seasoned and warm! Glad I gave Bagel Pub another shot!
Alexa Kafka - 6 months ago

Absolutely loved this bagel shop!!! I got the ABC sandwich and was one of the best bagels I’ve had in nyc!!! There are so many options to come for bagels in nyc but this is a place I’d come to more then once !!! I walked from manhattan to check this place out and have no regrets! So delish!!

The best bagel place I have been to in Bklyn. My brunch go-to is the everything bagel with turkey bacon, egg &cheese and bagel w mixed berry cream cheese for my sweet cravings 😋 👌
Fayvenn - 6 months ago

A first time NY Bagel shop visitor. We don’t get much of these back home. Great people. Amazing food A wide selection of bagel toppings and good breakfast options. The background music was the cream cheese to my bagel. Coffee doesn’t disappoint. Clean restrooms.
Albert Flores - 2 months ago

Honestly the best bacon egg and cheese on a bagel I've ever had. Their bagels are fresh and made in house daily. The atmosphere inside and out is also a nice look. The only reason I didn't give this place five stars is because I'm a huge cold brew fan and to me theirs taste just off, almost burnt. Otherwise this place is a must go if you're a bagel lover like myself.
