Ortobello Restaurant

Used to come here at least once a week when we lived in Bklyn 35 years ago! So happy to see it's still there, exactly like it was back in the day, now run by their son!! The food is just as great now as it used to be then! The Entrees are big enough to be shared by two, appetizers and white house wine were delicious. The rigatoni vodka sauce was out of this world as was the breaded clam sauce!! We ate the homemade ricotta cheesecake before I could even take a pix... it was fresh, soft, fluffy! Bravo, keep up the great work!! 🤌

Everyone in our party enjoyed their dish. I’ve been coming here for more than 10 years and it never disappoints. The staff is great. Small place so make reservations! You will not be disappointed! If you want cheesecake this is what cheesecake should taste like. You will not leave hungry! Can’t wait til my next visit!!

You cannot go wrong with this place. The food is delicious. The portions are tremendous. The quality is awesome. And the service is very good. Have been going here for years and I’ve always enjoyed the food. Baked clams, fried calamari, chicken and shrimp Parmesan, as well as mussels, marinara are all really delicious. It’s a small place so try to make a reservation and if not expect to wait a little while but it’s well worth the wait. Very old-school inside and the staff is super helpful and friendly.

The food is delicious with very generous portions. A few must to order are the fish salad, stuffed artichoke, baked clams, veal parmesan, veal sorrentino, and pasta with shrimp. Let's put it this way, everything is delicious. Also, thank you so much for the delicious cappuccino with whipped cream. The best way to end a great meal with fantastic service. We will be back soon...

Delicious family Italian fare and very warm and friendly service. The food is amazing. Their red sauce, in the words of my wife, cannot be replicated elsewhere. The space is small but very cozy. Portions are generous. In fact, we were basically full after the appetizers. After dining here more than a few times over the past several years, I can attest that the quality of their food and service has been constantly on point. Definitely worth trying if you're in that neck of Bensonhurst.

This was one of my favorite places ive been in a long time. Typically I don't go out for Italian food because I like to make my own BUT LET ME SAY THIS PLACE WAS OUTSTANDING FOR AUTHENTIC food. Small place great food owner Andy was awesome....just an AMAZING PLACE. Can't believe it took me so long to come in. Highly recommend 👌

Family friendly and Familial touch of old photographs on the wall, small place but parking near the street. Food is plentiful and feels home-made. Italian wines and beers on draft. Attractive desserts and friendly waitstaff and the owner ! Convenient price! Great overall !

Refreshingly authentic mom-and-popper in a sea of commercial chain franchises. Familial touch of old photographs on the wall, and a diorama depicting some saint (from what I could tell). Food is plentiful and feels home-made. Peroni and one more beer on draft. Bathroom small but clean. Attractive desserts and friendly waitstaff. Great value overall!

If you didn't know this place was here you would pass right by like I have for years. Amazing Italian food!!! Portions are generous and the prices are fair. Definitely a great place for dinner with the family it even a date. I STRONGLY suggest you make a reservation otherwise getting a table here will be very difficult.
