replying to u/reignnyday: The food is fantastic. It’s just so hyped and hard to get in that people have ungodly expectations. Their chicken is incredible though and I never order chicken at restaurants

replying to u/arfyron: Al di La in park slope
“Went there twice over the summer and both times the food was very subpar and the servers weren’t the best. Nothing terrible, but for the price point and hype, my girlfriend and I no longer recommend this spot.”

replying to u/Confident_Load_9563: I haven’t eaten there in at least 15 years so take this with a grain of salt, but al di la was always my family’s go-to for great northern Italian food in park slope
“Ate there last week. The malfati and the pork saltimbocca are still two of my favorite things in the world. They haven't really missed a step.”

replying to u/Unlikely-Guess3775: Some ideas of cozy yet celebratory restaurants with diverse and vegetarian-friendly menus: Ubani for Georgian food in the West Village, Sofreh (if you can get a res) for Persian in Downtown Brooklyn, Cafe Gitane for North African-French in Vinegar Hill, Pasta Louise in Park Slope, or Xixa in Williamsburg
“I would go for Al Di La over Pasta Louise, it's a bit cozier and a tad more upscale (for a celebration). Also I think the food is better.”

replying to u/squirrelshine: Lifelong vegetarian here. Please, skip al di la, and instead , go to sofreh. Still in BK and near barclays but superior in every way. They often have reservation cancellations so add yourself to the resy list. Al di la is a mediocre disappointment.

“Al di la is fine if you live in the neighborhood, but it’s by no means a destination. Your meals here are precious and Al di la isn’t deserving of a spot…”

replying to u/titaniumdoughnut: If I'm understanding the vibe right, try these. This is sadly a bit of a dying breed in NYC as high prices are forcing all the chill neighborhood spots to dry up, and they get replaced by trendy expensive things. \- Frank's and Lil Frankie's \- Kiki's \- al di la Trattoria \- If you're not from a place with good Mexican/American Mexican: Taqueria St Marks Place, bomb-ass LA 90s Mex style \- Holiday Cocktail Lounge And for bonus, one that feels like a chill neighborhood spot while ALSO being trendy and expensive: \- Superiority Burger
“Seconding all of this. All spots that feel reflective of the neighborhoods.”
