Great spot for pastas and pizzas close to Pier 17. Attention was great and the food was delicious. Get a table outside and enjoy a bau afternoon while sipping some spritzers or a cold Peroni.

Absolutely 1 of the best Italian restaurants I've gone to.. authentic flavors and sooooo good.. I come here at 1 time a month

I stumbled into this place on a hot summer day.. I'm so glad we found this gem. My daughter, who can be a picky eater, was all about their spaghetti with marinara. I had nice pear and gorgonzola salad, and my wife had the bruscetta. The wine was on point as well. The staff was absolutely amazing. If you go to IL Brigante I promise you won't be disappointed. 5 stars for sure!

Service was great, but the food was mediocre. The lasagna was cold (they warmed it up once we notified the server), and the carbonara was greasy. The squash blossoms were good.

Very cozy, ambience is cute. Authentic, fresh Italian food. The service was great, prawns tasted fresh from the ocean, the grill on them was perfect and garlic sauce was amazing. Super cool lowkey spot. Wine with these meals is a great touch not everywhere needs to sell hard alcohol.

Super cozy, charming Italian vibe, absolutely delicious food (the tomatoes in the salad sang in my mouth) great staff, especially Steven. If in the area do yourself a favor and stop by this place. Oh, and the bathroom has live orchids.

Authentic Italian with great service.

Popped in while on the way to ice skate at around 8PM. Asked if they could accommodate 7 of us within an hour or so. Even though the place was very busy, they said yes.

When we returned, we choose to dine outside in their enclosed outdoor space. It was quiet and cozy, and the electronic candlesticks added to the ambiance.

The food was flavorful and amazing! I had the Linguine alla Scoglio which I recommend. The chicken dish was great too. We all enjoyed our meals and experience.

The waitress was knowledgeable about the food and knew her wine selection. By the way, they only serve beer and wine.

Couldn’t get over how delicious the food tastes. Definitely going back!

We were walking down the harbor and got hungry, tried to find somewhere to eat and while there seem to be many not many of them sound good. But this place looked the cutest and food looked the best
We had tuna tartar and short rib pasta , both were very good. they also served some bread to begin with. Service is good as well. Love the outside seating and as the weather was perfect that day
