Brooklyn Roots Italian

What a gem in Bayridge!!! Just know you can feel the ITALIAN pride in this place. We did not have a reservation but went in when they first opened around 430pm. They sat us right away. Its very comforting, warm ambiance. I love the servers who was bringing the garlic pan around the establishment and making it smell delicious. Our server was so nice. Well, two of them. A shorter woman and a taller young man. The woman explained the specials and also suggested a pasta and sauce with a couple of meatballs. I ordered the eggplant parm and he ordered the chicken Francese. Everything was very very good. Portions: so big. The only thing I was not too fond of was the way over eggy taste of the francese sauce. Otherwise the pasta was fresh and aldente to perfection, sauce delicious and chicken

HUGE portion sizes was what our server warned us from the start, and boy was that an understatement! What we ordered for dinner was enough for lunch and dinner the next day! Hats off to this place for serving such a delicious menu, from meatballs to their selection of seafood, we were very impressed by how great everything tasted! Service was beyond amazing—very warm and inviting, just amazing people here! Will be coming back now that we know Brooklyn Roots lives up to their reputation. Must try!

IMMACULATE. Literally the only word I can use to describe my experience tonight. We were debating all day what to order. (My best friend lives here) we asked what the specials were - so we could narrow down the choices. When he said “Sunday sauce (sawce)” we KNEW that was the choice to make. For a brief moment in my life I had an Italian stepmom who would make Sunday sauce, and I knew immediately nothing else mattered. Give me the sauce, extra cheese, extra bread and a big bottle of red wine. If you’re coming to Brooklyn Roots, and you need to feed your soul (and a small army) get the Sunday sauce. Obviously only available on Sunday. First and only runner up was the chicken Marsala. Damn it Bobby that dish was AMAZING also. Since we aren’t professional eaters we only managed those 2 dishes

I was there on a busy night. Not only was I surprised how fast my food came, it was absolutely delicious. The orange sorbet was a great finish. My manhattan was full and just potent enough to make me have a second.

What could I possibly say. Our children gave us a Christmas gift card to this restaurant. We, finally were able to go. Parking wasn’t bad at all . Was able to find a spot right away. Going into Brooklyn Roots brought back memories of the old days. Small but prefect. So we were greeted by the one of the workers that sat down right away. The server promptly came to us asking the usual. What would you like to drink and what the special’s were. I will definitely say the food was ABSOLUTELY Delicious……the amount of food was incredible. Most restaurants give you small portions but not Brooklyn Roots. I definitely would recommend this restaurant to everyone. If you want great food and a good amount definitely go and try it. You will not be disappointed. To the owner and cook don’t stop what you’r
