Fantastic place!. Especially if you're into good food, excellent drinks, and you're on a relatively limited budget. I love heir sausage! Stop by for a brunch on a Sunday and you won't want to leave.
best in brooklyn. Hands down my favorite Italian in the Cobble Hill area! Great bar for cocktails & sharing food at the bar. Lamb is great my favorite, thought the cheese plate is composed of a good selection of Italian cheeses. Weekends it gets a little crowded (evenings), though is still seems fairly 'undiscovered' for brunch, and in my opinion, they serve the best quality brunch in the area. Though, several of my friends have remarked the portions at brunch are on the smaller side for the price. Still, I highly recommend this place for any meal, anytime.…
sweet treats. I eat here all the time. Best food for value in Cobble Hill. Great Lamb chops. Try any and all desserts here they are all so good.
What's not to love?.
I am in the fortunate position to be able to say that this is the closest restaurant to my front door. Bocca Lupo is jazzed enough for me to have lunch & dinner meetings with my clients, yet enough
of a neighborhood joint for me to swing by for a quick espresso on my way out the door. Highbrow design concealing down-to-earth atmosphere & consistently delicious food -- who could ask for anything more? A well-crafted wine & beverage menu? Yup, they've got that, too. So what's with the negative reviews around here? I dunno. Maybe those folks were expecting to find Le Bernardin? Relax, people. The beauty of this restaurant lies in the informality of its experience: The centerpiece of a visit to Bocca Lupo is the act of sharing the food & drink among the people you're with.
Now about those particulars... Don't pass up the lamb chops (excellent dish, excellent deal), try the zucchini from the Contorni menu (seasoned with black pepper & tossed with almonds, adds an interesting flavor to the meal as a whole), and definitely go for the Nutella panini. If you're there for brunch, the baked eggs are the way to go, but make sure to order the bread pudding for dessert.
See you there...…
Bland and boring.
I took a few friends to Bocca Lupo last weekend and we were sorely disappointed. The food is mediocre and the meatballs are served on bread which turned soggy. The mood is somber yet extremely loud
(How is that possible you ask?). The floor and walls are cement and the seats are made of metal so anytime anyone moves all you hear is the the scraping of metal on cement. Most definitely not a place to relax or chill. Imagine taking a date there......eek!
I haven't mentioned the food because there's not much too say. Bland and middle of the road. It's "Italian" food if you know what I mean. Want genuine, upscale Italian food? Cross the river or go to Park Slope.…
