Teresa's Restaurant

I came out here on a recommendation of a friend. I came in mid-afternoon and didn’t have any wait to get in. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and it was absolutely amazing! I ordered a glass of the Vermentino wine and it was really good. I ate alone, so finding a table was not difficult. I enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely go back if I’m back in the area.

Title: An Exquisite Italian Delight with Exceptional Service Review: My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Filece Restaurant. The staff was super attentive, going out of their way to prepare a special pasta dish for her. They constantly checked in on us, making our meal even more enjoyable. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere, simple decor, and relaxing music were perfect. The highlights were the food. The vegetable soup was deliciously light and flavorful, and the desserts, particularly the gelato and sorbet, were the best we've ever tasted. They even thoughtfully packed our leftovers, which was great. The prices were quite reasonable for the exceptional quality. Although we didn't try the bar, it looked inviting and popular among other guests. In short, Filece Restaurant in Brooklyn Heights is a fantastic spot for Italian cuisine, offering great food and service. We're planning to return soon.

The food here is good although I think slightly overpriced. For example the cheapest cocktail is $17 and if memory serves the cheapest pasta option is around $25. I recommend the burrata and prosciutto starter and the salmon-rigatoni pasta dish (rich and spicy creamy tomato sauce and chunks of salmon). I can’t recommend the cacio e pepe because it was kind of lacking in flavor despite being topped with parmesan. I do recommend the charcuterie plate it comes with bresaola and prosciutto, 2 cheeses and pickled artichoke and some olives. The arancini were okay, you get 5 small ones and some tartar dipping sauce. I read some other reviews that mentioned they had 3-4 different servers through the meal and we also had essentially the same experience, which was strange because we were there when it wasn’t busy. I don’t understand the rationale behind one person taking your order and another person bringing the food and then having a third person give you the dessert and coffee menu. If its between shifts then whatever fine, but it seems this is happening a lot with other reviewers as well from reading here in google. Lastly we had the lemon tart dessert and it was good, but it was definitely $15.

4.3 ⭐️ what a gem of a spot. I brought my out of town friend here and everyone thanked me for a great restaurant choice. What we ate: fried artichokes & calamari: 5stars, so light and fresh but also crisp, and flavorful. Best thing we ordered bruschetta: not your typical bruschetta, this is with large pieces of tomato and soft bread, but there tomato’s are very fresh and tasty special melon salad: our server really sold this one and TBH is was a bit basic for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ good clean flavors, maybe just not great for sharing. Pasta: we each got a main pasta and everyone really enjoyed their own. Well prepared and balanced flavors, I think any is probably a safe bet! Chocolate Hazelnut torte: very nice, reminiscent of a Ferraro roche. Rich but not too sweet, and good hazelnut flavor. I would get this again. Small ish portion Tiramisu: very nice, we’ll done, would get again, but I personally preferred the hazelnut torte Vibes are classic and put together without feeling stuffy. Service was very friendly without feeling overbearing. We stayed for 2hr and didn’t feel rushed at all. It’s just a really solid spot that is also not hard to get a reservation at. I’ll definitely be back!
