Osteria Brooklyn @LIC

Such a great dinner spot! The happy hour drinks for $8 were scrumptious and the chicken parm was a hit. Great food, nice views of the waterfront, and laid back atmosphere.

Hosted a private party here to celebrate our wedding, which was overseas. Service was excellent, food was amazing and our guests raved about the cocktails. The owner was so accommodating and we couldn’t have asked for anything more!! The view is spectacular and the place accommodated our huge party (120 guests). The manager Loren was incredible, attentive and took care of all our special requests. Would highly recommend for a private party, celebration or just for dinner/brunch!

✨ Had the most amazing date night at Osteria Brooklyn ✨ The vibes were super sweet, calm, and not too loud,perfect for a cozy dinner with my boo. We started with their fat pig charcuterie board, and wow… every cut of meat was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The meatballs were out of this world (literally some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤), and the seafood pasta was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Everything about this spot felt warm, inviting, and special….definitely a new favorite. Highly recommend for a date night or just a really good meal in Brooklyn! 💕🍝🥂

I loved loved loved this place!

First, I wanna give a shout out to our wonderful server, Arta. She really elevated our whole dining experience because she gave such excellent service.

Second, the meals were all so good! And I was shocked that their lunch specials were so affordable! On a weekday, you get an appetizer and an entree for $25. The portions were big and they all tasted amazing.

I’ll definitely be back. Such a great find to bring people to chat and enjoy good food with good service.

This is seriously a hidden gem in LIC, the pictures don’t do it justice.

My friend and I stumbled upon Osteria Brooklyn in Long Island City while waiting for our car to finish at a detail appointment nearby and asked to see the menu outside. Right away, we were warmly greeted by Raffaele, the owner himself (we didn’t know and he didn’t make it clear he was), who was not only kind and welcoming but also hilarious — the kind of genuine host who instantly makes you feel at home without pressuring you to dine. Just good vibes, a great attitude, and a clear passion for hospitality - we guessed he was the chef because of how passionate he seemed!

We loved the menu and decided to sit down, and Raffaele went above and beyond to accommodate us. He graciously gave us a larger table upon request (which most restaurants wouldn’t even consider), and personally recommended dishes based on exactly what we were in the mood for — and nailed it.

We had a few special requests and substitutions, and not only were they handled flawlessly, but every dish came out beautifully presented and even more delicious than expected. The food was fresh, vibrant, and plated with care — we especially loved the shrimp Caesar salad, deconstructed mushroom chicken (pictured with ceviche!).

It’s rare to find a spot where the hospitality matches the quality of the food, but Osteria Brooklyn delivers both effortlessly. Raffaele is the heart of the experience, and it shows in every detail. There’s a reason there’s more than one location.

I seriously recommend this place to anyone visiting or living in the area. Whether you’re looking for a cozy, relaxed lunch or a flavorful dinner with great energy — this is your spot!
