Truly the best Italian I've ever had. Blows the "trendy" places out of the water. Not to mention great value! Lillo's for the win.

I’m born and raised in Italy and I can said that this place is the most authentic Italian restaurant in NY. The food is fresh and delicious. It remember me the food of my mum. I’ll come again for pick up and definitely I’ll continue the recommend this place ! BRAVI!

Delightful. Very tiny. I only had take out coffee - freshly brewed but found the menu enticing, unique - authentic chef made soups, yummy sandwiches, hearty entrees and specialty desserts. I will definitely go back to indulge. The countryman is charming. A real old world gentleman.

A bit surprise at how small and cozy this mom&pop restaurant is. But it was so worth the trip over to Brooklyn. The sign also mentioned a cash only. Be prepare for around $35-$40 for 2 people.

Vanessa Cifuentes

14:57 03 Feb 20

This tiny spot in Brooklyn. They serve traditional Italian fare. If you are looking for some simple delicious homey food then this is your spot. The place is small and really no frills, but don’t let that deter you from having some authentic, simply delicious food.

Visiting from So Cal looking for good Italian, found this place and have to say food was delicious!!! Good size portions, reasonably priced and service was excellent. Very limited seating but worth the wait.

Amazing food, Just like Italia. Great service and Lillo is a true gentleman! A must do !

Trey Hatch

Amazing little secret hole in the wall. Something magic about its sandwiches and pasta. Definitely feels more like Italy than the US (including timing wise - best to not be in a rush).

Great coffee, great little spot for a quick bite and you can always practice your Italian when ordering

Salvatore Davi

Absolutely fantastic! An amazing culinary experience. The only thing I can say that isn't positive is that Lillo deserves a much bigger space to serve his amazing food.

Literally felt like I was in Italy having a meal prepared in a friend’s home. Delicious, homey, wonderful spot. Don’t be on a hurry, enjoy the ambience. Ciao!
