Reviews for Aita in Brooklyn, NY
Sitting in a quaint little street of Italy and enjoying Fettucine cacio e Pepe with mushrooms...except it?s a quaint little... street in Clinton hill in Brooklyn. This is an adorable place with well distanced outdoor seating . My pasta was al dente and Ilike that. The music was lovely and the food was great. Just the portion size is small for the $$ Read more
Went for brunch and it was delicious. New service ppl but still great. Beef cheek hash was perfect
The night we strolled into this place, it was 1° windchill weather. We had a reservation for outside gazebo and after sitting... for 2 minutes it was clear that it will be a very cold dinner. The staff was very accommodating and understanding. They lead usto a bar next door- The Mayflower. And a promise to get us a better table in about an hour. The Mayflower was an incredible bar.No menus. No eats. Just a cocktail bar where the bartender chats you up and makes you a cocktail per your palette. Our party hadmore of neat scotch drinkers and the barkeep let me taste a top shelf scotch before getting it. It was a very smoothexperience. Now for Aita! I didn?t know walking in on how the food would be, none of us has been there before and the firstresponse on the google search had left me amused and curious. We ordered 3 appetizers for the table. Wagyu carpaccio. Roastedfall vegetables. Crocchette di baccala. Roasted veggies were amazing, and some of us went for second helpings. Wagyu Carpacciowas beautifully crafted with pomegranate acting as the perfect bridge between the Wagyu and the veggies. If raw red meat makesyou queasy, maybe this isn?t the option for you but for all the carnivore out there, try this out! But the show stopper was theCrocchette di baccala. We all took one and then fought for the last one by butchering it on the plate. The sauce on the side wasperfectly crafted to go with a white fish crocchette. Perfect appetizer to get us up for the main course. We all decide to get aplate for ourselves instead of doing family style since the portions were large. So, we went with Beef wellington & Oxtailburger. About the main course. Imagine cooking your beef to a perfect tenderness that it doesn?t fall apart on the plate but themoment it touches your tongue- you barely have to chew. It was pan seared with layers on bacon on top and bottom giving it aperfect finish of crispness. My girlfriend and I were fighting till our last bite. Oxtail burger was all Read more
Absolutely delicious! 5 out 5 for my first visit in November 2021. We are outside under heated booths. We got to try many dishes... since we went with another couple. Will be coming back this Saturday to try it again with my mother-in law and sister-in law.Can?t wait to show them this spot! Read more
It was for brunch that we returned for our third visit to Aita in Clinton Hill. Previous brunch and dinner experiences were five... stars and this one did not disappoint either. We sat outside and I want to mention that they have one of the better outsidedining setups. It's well enclosed, warm, and reasonably separated from fellow guests. As it was brunch, we kicked things offwith cocktails. The brunch cocktail menu is kinda brief but I'm sure they'll make you whatever you want. We got the Fresh Photosand Bomb Lighting and the Woke Up Like This. The first was kind of a riff on a Dark & Stormy with Cynar and Amaro subbing forthe rum and the second was similar to an Aperol spritz w/o the soda, so kinda boozy and bitter. Both were quite enjoyable. Wetried the Bomboloni to start, they were delicious. Rich but not too rich, if you know what I mean. A real treat. I chose theVanilla French Toast for my entree, others chose the Crab Cake Benedict and the Porchetta Sandwich. The toast and benne's werevery good but I think we were all jealous of the porchetta. It looked amazing and our friend loved it. The accompanying frieswere also quite good. Lastly, our waitress was perfect, attentive and friendly. Can def recommend and will be back for morereturn visits. Read more
My fiancé and I were able to hit up Aita to celebrate our upcoming wedding. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, especially with... the weather cooling down outside. The decor, music, service and general vibe were all inviting and enjoyable. What stood out themost from the meal itself was the quality of the ingredients and the different flavors that we haven?t tried from Italiancuisine before. We?ll absolutely be back again! Read more
Technique was there. Flavor was not. The food quality was amazing but I believe it could?ve tasted better. Very hot outdoor... seating but if you?re not sweaty go for it. Read more
Great service, our waitress was super nice! She knew her stuff with all the wines and food on the menu. Best old fashion I?ve... had in a long time 9/10! Tried a few of the pasta dishes and all were good! The oxtail ravioli was amazing 9.5/10! Read more
