Had an awesome family dinner at Cavatappi in Brooklyn tonight with my wife and our boys, 10 and 12. Kicked off with crispy calamari and those killer meatballs in the best sauce ever—kids loved em.
Pork chop was huge and juicy, seared perfect, but the seafood pasta? Packed with shrimp, clams, mussels, total winner. Family run, and the staff was so friendly, chatting up the kids like old pals.
Wrapped up with a drive through Dyker Heights Christmas lights—those houses are nuts this year! Boys were hyped the whole way home. Real Italian in Brooklyn? This is it. We’ll be back.
I rarely write reviews but could not let this dining experience go without giving this place 5 stars. Not only is the atmosphere homey and comfortable and the service excellent, the food is unbelievable. Everything was fresh, creative and bursting with flavor. I an say with certainty that this is some of the best food in Brooklyn much less the neighborhood.
First time coming to Brooklyn and wanted to eat at a small Italian Restaurant. This place did not disappoint at all. The food was amazing, the staff were so friendly, including the owner. I wish I lived closer because I would always come here. I will absolutely come back if I'm ever in Brooklyn again.

Thank you so much for choosing us!
My wife and I came here for a date night, and everything was absolutely wonderful. They started us off with complimentary bread and olive oil, which was a nice touch. Then came a huge portion of fried calamari — crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a delicious dipping sauce.
I ordered the pork chop, which was tender, juicy, and served with vegetables and potatoes in a cranberry-style sauce. The sauce was unique and added a nice, slightly tangy flavor. The portion was generous and very satisfying.
My wife ordered the cheese ravioli with jumbo shrimp. This dish was rich and comforting, and there were plenty of perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp. She loved it.
The only downside was that we were too full to try dessert — the portions were so big that we simply couldn’t fit anything else. But we’re definitely coming back next time just for the dessert!
The service was excellent — the staff were polite, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, making it a perfect spot for a lovely evening out.

Thank you for the kind words can’t wait to serve you guys again.
Tried out this neighborhood Italian restaurant, was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. Price was reasonable given how generous the portion was. Flavor was on point and authentic, made with care. Went there with my wife and two kids, had a great time. Service was great too!
