Flora Caffe

A special little place serving rich, flavorful dishes. I was dining for one, and it’s often hard to find seating at restaurants in the city when you’re dining solo - I was pleased to find Flora staff accommodating and friendly. I ordered the Gnocchi al tartufo and a glass of Prosecco. The gnocchi was delicious, bursting with layers of reggiano and truffle oil. Delicious and satisfying.

Lovely restaurant, it has an upscale modern feel and the service is excellent. They have a great variety of spritzes that were delicious. The bruschetta was flavorful, the bread was thicker and softer than you would expect for bruschetta. The meats and cheese plate was good. The burrata was interesting, nice smoky flavor and well-cooked eggplant. The gnocchi was pillowy and truffle dominated the flavor. The linguine was perfect al dente and I loved the crispy chili but the broccoli rabe cream had a strong bitter flavor. The octopus was perfectly cooked and the ragu was very flavorful. The menu was unique and intriguing and it felt like an authentic experience.

Had the burrata, gnocchi, and eggplant parm. Momma always said leave room for dessert, and while this was the most delicious meal I've had in 2023, the dessert was divine. 100% great date spot, too. Gratuity is included and that is reflected in the pricing but honestly if you go out to eat often you'll barely notice the difference in price. There's a reason they've recently gotten a Michelin shout out.

Visiting New York a few days ago and after so much delicious food from all over the world we needed a return to our culinary origins. Thanks to the ever faithful Michelin guide we discovered this wonderful Italian restaurant capable of making us feel right at home, even discovering that the owners are from our region. Grazie ragazzi, spero a presto!

When you ask people in the area for Italian restaurant recommendations the first on the list is usually Pasta Louise. Or when you go on yelp, Pasta Louise jumps out. I'd like to make sure that changes today and vote Flora be first. Flora and Pasta Louise are separated by one block but might as well be miles apart when it comes to credible Italian food. For those that praise at the alter of Pasta Louise, here's a tip, run don't walk to Flora. It might not be the best Italian restaurant but it's truly authentic and genuine in its representation of Italian food. We enjoyed the mozzarella de bufala with tomatoes which also included beets. I thought it was odd but it worked. We shared the salt cod and the eggplant parm. All simply prepared and packed with flavor. The wine list is a bit expensive, actually I would say almost unaffordable when it comes to the bottle list. It drives me crazy when I go to a neighborhood joint and cannot find a bottle of wine in the $50 range. There's no excuse for not having at least one bottle at that price point. The service was solid. The ambiance is simple and clean. No loud colors or cartoon caricatures. I would encourage Pasta Louise to talk to Flora's interior designers but then again when you run the Italian version of TGI Fridays maybe the point is to hide the food behind clever branding and over the top designs. And cartoon figures. Hmm. I think McDonald's also has a cartoon character like Pasta Louise. Flora recently received a Michelin star. I'm not sure I agree with that designation but I will say it's one of the better Italian restaurants in the park slope area and would put it on par with Terre and Al Di La.

Nice background music you could talk over. Very generous and beautifully presented cheese and cured meat appetizer for 2. Decent reasonably priced wine list. Ravioli with lemon zest was delicious, and my husband loved the linguinie with clams. No tipping required but we left something for the nice service. Would definitely go again.

Oh, what an incredible experience at this charming Italian gem in Brooklyn! It's the perfect spot for brunch or dinner with loved ones, where you'll be treated to the most delightful flavors of Italy. The food was simply wonderful, and I couldn't resist trying the Mascarpone Affogato Tiramisu for dessert – it was truly awesome! The warm and friendly atmosphere made me feel right at home. I can't wait to return with more friends and family for another memorable dining adventure! Grazie mille for a fantastic time! 🇮🇹🍝🍰
