La Piazzetta

Quaint…. It was a Sunday so I assumed it would be a relaxed environment. I read many reviews, mostly good. This was a Groupon gift. So I had my reservations…. The staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming. They were attentive and patient. The establishment was clean and organized and when we ordered our food it came out quick and hot and fresh. Everyone has their tweeks but overall I can’t complain about much. Expect the ice water needed more ice…. They were courteous and attentive! We had the short ribs and they were so tender and falling off the bone. I also have to mention the bartender that made our drinks deserves a 5 star ⭐️ rating alone! Never once have I ever not been able to finish my drink! I had the Manhattan and it was superb! The serving portions were enough to fill us and the prices were actually not to bad, we were full and spirited even after we got home!!

Just super delicious. We ordered 8 dishes (lasagna, beef rib, lamb shank, lobster ravioli, pistachio encrusted flounder, calamari & linguininwith clams) We ate everything and wanted more. Will return for sure, fantastic restaurant.

Food was great. Service was awesome. Definitely coming back here.

I have been to Da Francesco Italian Restaurant on Graham Ave in Williamsburg Brooklyn NY several times. The reason I keep going back, is due to my favorite item on the Menu, Braised Short Ribs with Mashed Potatoes. I had read past reviews on that particular meal,and everything I read about it is 100 % True...The Braised Short Ribs is so tender, that the meat slides off the bone. You don't even need a knife to cut it...The meat is so moist and tender and so flavorful...I actually went out on this cold dreary rainy evening, specifically for the Braised Short Ribs and I was not disappointed. I decided to also order two other items, for dinner tomorrow, that I have never had there before. I ordered the Lentil Soup as it was one of the Specials today. When I got home, I took a spoonful of it, to sample it, and it was actually delicious. I am a Veteran of the US Army, and a cooking school grad.....retired from the Port Authority of NY and NJ, worked at the cafeteria in 4 different work sites. I specialized in soups, and food preps, plus working as short order cook on the grill. I know my soups and that lentil soup gets a 10 in my book. I also ordered Chicken Parm with Linguine on the side , and must say that it looks really good. Whenever in Williamsburg , Brooklyn NY, on Graham Ave you should make it a point to check them out. They are open until 10 PM on weekdays and until 11 PM on weekends....By the way the staff is super here, the servers Roberto, Jorge and Javier are so courteous, so polite, attentive to detail, and always focused on their customers and always do a professional job. I met Mr Francesco, the owner of the restaurant and must say he is a down to earth person,so humble and a gentleman.

Had a small family luncheon here today and was very pleased with the entire experience. We were greeted warmly, shown to our table promptly, menus, water and bread were provided quickly. Appetizers, entrees and desserts were all delicious. The server was attentive and the food was served fresh and hot. I would eat here weekly if I lived closer. If you’re in the neighborhood and want a good Italian restaurant with authentic Italian food, this is the place!
