Patrizia's Pizza Pasta - Brooklyn

Most fun ive had in awhile. good vibes, drinks, and food is divine. coming back for sure.

One of several Italian restaurants in the Kips Bay area and a popular haunt for those who work in the hospitals nearby. They have a great lunch special with various pastas at $18 that comes with a side house salad. I'm partial to the fettuccine alfredo myself, very creamy and classic. There is a rival restaurant called fumo with a similarly low price lunch pasta special nearby as well. Rather large restaurant with high ceilings and plenty of outdoor seating. The decor is a little bit on the nose and cheesy but does the job rather well. Nothing to complain about re: service.

This used to be my local go to when I lived in the area, I would go here all the time. They have the best pre-meal bread I have ever had, it is doughy and I think they use of for the pizza but I have not confirmed. The octopus is the best I've had in the city and the best I've had in the city for tagliatelle and meat sauce. The service is still attentive and friendly and they renovated and the restaurant is super cute now. The portions are huge, and I'm pretty sure much larger than they used to be which is unusual as everywhere else portions are getting smaller.

The word HUGE takes a different meaning when it comes to the serving sizes of the food here. Sandwiches are twice as big as in most other places. The spaghetti with meatballs literally create a mountain on the serving plate. Pizzas are quite big,too. I need to go back to check their salads. I wasn't feeling carnivore and had a Giardiniera pizza: crunchy dough but a little too burned for my taste. I did love the dipping sauce they serve with warm focaccia.... So deliciously garlicky. Solid place with plenty of seats.

Patrizia's Italian Restaurant on East 26 St. 2nd Ave. is a great family style restaurant. The atmosphere is lively welcoming, the staff is friendly accommodating the food is delicious, fresh satisfying. It's a great place to bring the family, large or small groups, couples or to dine by yourself. Patrizia's is an excellent place for birthdays, work related events or just to eat enjoy. If ever you're in the city you must come here! They have other locations as well.
