Where the Locals Eat Rating
Best Italian, Brooklyn
Top 100 Restaurant, New York City
"I sing the praises of Al di Là, sung so many times before, because it deserves the music. Because there are food lovers from outside Brooklyn who have never been, and Al di Là is worth a trip. ... Italian food doesn't need to be fancied up or elaborately fussed over to rise to a high level."
– The New York Times
"For all the praise the pasta gets at this Park Slope Venetian sensation, the entrées might be even better. ... The house-made gelati are wonderful, too."
—New York magazine
"It would be hard to improve upon [the] braised rabbit with black olives atop polenta."
—Time Out New York
"The high-ceilinged room boasts a certain faded chic, with its church-pew seats and eccentric touches, such as the coffee pots hanging from the walls."
—Michelin New York City
