Gargiulo's

"Always a great experience at Garguilos! We have been here several times for holidays, parties and just dinner. Experience is always the same excellent food and service. Definitely recommend going during Christmas time as they decorate the Resturant and have people signing Christmas songs during dinner. They also have excellent desserts and valet service. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a great Italian dinner night in Brooklyn."

"I've lived in Brooklyn my whole life, and I have never been to Gargiulo's up until now. My wife on the other hand has and spent our entire time on the quick drive to Gargiulo's talking about how good the food is....so naturally I was expecting ok food and service because that's my luck. Upon arrival, valet service was professional and efficient. The staff were welcoming and helpful, guiding us to our event hall. The food was spectacular, and risotto was my favorite and highly recommended. My only complaint was how an older gentleman treated the staff. I observed him personally treat a couple of the staff in a manner that I felt was completely out of line. When I asked the staff member, "What's his problem? " The staff member had class and shrugged it off and said nothing bad about this person. They exhibited more class and respect than this person deserved. Kudos to the staff. I highly recommend this place."

"I don’t know how this place is rated so highly. My partner and I had dinner last night expecting good quality everything. However, upon sitting down. We noticed my glass cup had a clear lipstick imprint . (Not from me) we told the waiter and they te quickly replaced with new one. We thought maybe it was just a slip up and though well maybe the food is gonna be better. However c when bringing the bread basket- bread seam stale and hard. Butter was ice cold and hard as a brick. We told waiter to heat it for us which they kindly did. Rest of the food was bland and mediocre. But service was good and accommodating. Wish food was up to part and better cleanliness. Will never be back ever again. But hope people have a better experience than we did !"

"Classic Italian Restaurant in the heart of Coney Island. We went as a large group and quickly found out they are very strict with dress code and who can come in. Several members of our group were not allowed in, which made for some tension at our table. Those who did get in were taken care of with a good meal and service. We started with some fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. To me, it was bland and the cheese rubbery with unripe tastless tomatoes. It needed oil and balsamic vinegar to wake it up. We then had their excellent zucchini fries that were light and sweet and one of the best I have had. Our pasta dish was penne with tomatoe sauce. The penne was cooked perfectly aldante, but I felt the sauce was a bit too sharp. It needed plenty of sprinkled parmasian to smooth it out. I tried the broiled salmon, which was slightly overcooked but good. I thought the egg plant parm I tasted was much better, tender, and very flavourful. The sauce on the parm to me was better than on the pasta dish. We ended with a delicious slice of their cannoli cake. It was light with the perfect balance of cream and mini chocolate chips between the layers. The regular coffee served was strong and a smooth roast but unfortunately served lukewarm. Overall, the food is very good if you choose wisely. But be prepared in this modern day to dress and look, in their acceptable way, or you might not get in."

"I have so many fond memories of this restaurant growing up in Brooklyn. It was a place where we had many celebrations. The food is freshly made & traditional Italian. Highly recommend for a family event."
