Camillo

"Went with a small group of coworkers. Everything we had was delicious. The artichoke appetizer was amazing! Save room for dessert too."

"Excellent Roman restaurant right in the middle of Brooklyn. Roman food is my favorite of all Italian foods and it's also hard to find authentic Roman food in NYC - but apparently it's been down the street in Brooklyn the entire time. They have the holy Trinity of Roman pastas (cacio e pepe, amatriciana, and carbonara), a variety of pinsa (Roman pizza), and my personal favorite - carciofi giuda (Jewish styled fried artichokes) that I've never found close to correctly made outside of Rome. They also offer a variety of spritzes - I went with the limoncello spritz which was great and apparently the limoncello is made in house. We went here for an anniversary dinner and every dish we had was amazing. I had cacio e pepe which is my litmus test for the real deal or not - it was perfect. They even use tonnarelli pasta - it was better than many that I've had in Rome. My partner had the oxtail pappardelle and loved it. The wild mushroom pinsa was amazing. The selection of mushrooms was unreal - lobster mushrooms, oyster, and maybe chanterelles. Usually restaurants skimp on mushrooms and toss in lower tier shrooms like cremini, white button, and portobello - not at Camillo. For dessert we had tiramisu and pistachio olive oil cake - both were great. Also, the wine selection was good. The service was excellent and not rushed. The atmosphere was friendly and lively on a Sunday night. All in all - I have found my new favorite Italian restaurant for the 11 months out of the year when I'm not in Italy."

"This place reminds of a rustic old Italian place. I think definitely worth a visit and they do an amazing Aperol Spritz, one where they pipe the bubbly from tap, which is fun! We really enjoyed a number of the appetizers and the lasagna was fire. Would say that the meatballs were not that great. Might be a good idea to retire that dish! Service was also spectacular. Looking forward to coming back to here again during the fall."
