I recently dined at Brooklyn Roots Italian Restaurant in the heart of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and it was a culinary delight! The dishes I tried were all made with care and bursting with flavor. The pasta with clams was a standout, with perfectly cooked clams and a savory sauce. The stuffed mushrooms with sausage were rich and satisfying, while the Chicken Francese was cooked to perfection. The filet mignon was tender and full of flavor.
But the real showstopper was the 7 cheese lasagna special - a must-try while it's still available! The combination of cheeses was absolute perfection. Service was great, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Highly recommend Brooklyn Roots for a delicious Italian meal in Bay Ridge!
My family and I come here all the time as it's one of our favorite spots. They do classic Italian-American style dishes and everything we've had there has been really delicious. The portions are really big so you can definitely make it family style although my family tends to order individual plates because we like to eat. Also, the best dishes are not even on the menu because the specials are what they do best. I highly recommend going there and seeing what specials they have that day.
We always have an amazing experience at Brooklyn Roots, and my family is in often. The staff is warm, welcoming and friendly, and the food is always amazing. No matter what I order, I wind up with leftovers to enjoy the next day (or two). My four year old is obsessed with the fish specials, but the staff is always willing to accommodate any changes to dishes for her if necessary. While I have my favorite dishes, (sauteed calamari, chicken Marsala, Caesar salad to name a few) I also enjoy trying the specials. The Brooklyn Roots burger is so unexpected for an Italian restaurant, and has no business being as good as it is! Easily one of my favorite burgers. My family orders catering for Christmas, and it's the same level of delicious and comfort as a home cooked meal from family. Also, I love how cozy the restaurant looks decorated for the holidays! Can't recommend Brooklyn Roots and the staff enough!
This is an awesome family style restaurant. I have some picky eaters in my family and everyone loved the food! This restaurant is worth the trip (near or far). The staff are all incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They have a wonderful menu packed with amazing food but please take a moment to hear their specials! Either way you can’t go wrong! This restaurant is wheelchair accessible and kid friendly!

Thank you, Ian - we look forward to serving you all again soon!
Okay so unfortunately I was there because of a funeral. But the food was beyond delicious!! I asked what Olive 🫒 oil they used because it was so delicious and the server brought it out to me and said do you want to take a picture to remember, I love that . Then I ate a stuffed mushroom which I usually don't but it was omg delicious he told me what was in it , sausage and mozzarella,which I've never had usually just bread crumbs, best stuffed mushroom I've ever had anywhere.. Everything was delicious wasn't one thing that wasn't fantastic!! I live in Long Island or I'd be there at least once a week!! I eat at a lot of Italian restaurants this one definitely tops them all! I'll definitely be back!
The food was delicious. The atmosphere was very inviting.
The service was excellent, the staff were very nice. Ridley went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable.
We started with the baked clams, crispy artichokes, & mozzarella en carrozza.
Next we had the chicken parm with homemade pasta. We finished our meal with fresh cheesecake and tiramisu.
The food was great and the portions were huge.
We had a really nice time and will definitely come back.
Because portions are very large, you may want to share dishes; otherwise you might find yourself over‑eaten. As one review suggested: “maybe share a starter and a main.”

It is quite casual, so if you’re looking for upscale fine dining or very quiet ambiance, this may not be that kind of place. The vibe is more inviting and robust than ultra‑refined.
As with many popular spots, during busy times the noise may go up. (Though this is not heavily flagged in the reviews, “energetic” is mentioned.)

If you are visiting from outside Brooklyn (or from abroad), note that this particular restaurant is in NYC — so travel/logistics matter.
