Locanda Vini & Olii

Honestly, go somewhere else. I ordered pasta with mushrooms and my husband one with rabbit. Food was meh. Presentation was even worse. I can not believe you can mess up pasta with mushrooms, honestly, I am not a good cook but I wish I stayed home and cooked it myself. Service was fast , very casual and straight forward. We had table reservation for 6.30 and were out of restaurant at 7.14. ( really sad, isnt it?) We did have anchovies as an appetizer, which was okay. General impression of the place was that something really important was missing. Atmosphere was good but couldnt shake the feeling of why am I eating at pharmacy store? Would Not come back and definitely would Not recommend

This review is based on one dining experience, so more research is in order. The trippa alla fiorentina was really good, as was the baccal e ceci. The costata alla fiorentina, however, was a HUGE disappointment. We ordered medium-rare, it was served blue (less than rare) and cold. That's a costly mistake for the most expensive item on the menu, and shows a lack of care and attention. Shame on whoever was on the grill. Sent it back for some more heat, it came back, and we discovered it was tough and gristly, and very few bites were without a tough fight with connective tissue.

We ordered the Ribollita which was good, the MOZZARELLA DI BUFALA we did not like. The cold mozzarella cheese on a warm squash, the textures and temperature of the two foods didnt taste great for us. The AL CONIGLIO pasta was our favourite,while the TARTUFO NERO was not as great. The truffle flavour was overwhelming in the dish and it was a little dry. Food was okay , we didnt love anything . Servers were friendly , it took a while for our main dishes to arrive after the appetizers but the atmosphere was nice so we didnt mind the wait.

the pici pasta with caramelized onions is dense and wondrous

Considering what you are paying I think the food is kinda mid. The menu is definitely original, but some of it feels needlessly complex. I think other restaurants at comparable price in Brooklyn have better food and service. The decor is cool though.
