Bevacco

We stopped for a light supper at Bevacco on Henry Street on our way to the Clark Street subway station from a Happy Hour. We ate a Burrata Pizza and a Kale Salad. Our food was very good to excellent. We were especially happy with Burrata on our pizza. We were delighted with Bevacco's service. Our servers made us feel like regulars despite this being our first visit. Our table outside was very pleasant. We would go back.

Such a warm & cozy spot for an intimate dinner. Exceptional & thoughtful service; our glasses were never empty and the low-light (& soft music) set the tone for a wonderful dinner and conversation.I had the pomodoro pasta with gluten-free penne and you'd never be able to tell it was gluten free, so delicious! My cosmopolitan was lovely, needed to order a second.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn Heights! I stumbled upon this gem through an incredibly simple search of "Italian food in Brooklyn heights" and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere is very cozy and the workers are all incredibly personable. If you find yourself in this area of Brooklyn, definitely plan to visit. I personally would recommend getting the Gnocchi- it has the perfect about of spiciness and flavor. Plus they have the best tiramisu I've ever had in my entire life- you must order it when you stop in!

The wait staff was so kind and the food was amazing! The place is beautiful with dim lighting and it's very peaceful. We got the duck prosciutto carbonara and the meatballs starter. Highly recommend!

Where do I start??? Service is pretty attentive and good, so thats worth a star at least, and the decor might be worth another half, but the food gets no stars at all from me.The seared Brussels Sprouts were mushy and over cooked. They were obviously boiled until devoid of all flavor, and then seared to attempt to put some flavor back in, but that was a dismal failure.The Bolognese sauce was absent any soffrito. It should be velvety smooth and creamy almost, with a touch of tomato. No way that any Italian chef worth his name would call this a ragu. And the risotto was probably the worst I've eaten. A proper al dente risotto should be creamy and unctuous. Al dente with a slightly chalky core to each grain of rice. This abject failure was composed of tasteless grains of chalk.Having left most of the meal untouched, the server came with a dessert menu. Considering the extremely high rents in this area, we wondered if they survived on the excellence of their desserts.So we ordered a tiramisu and their cheesecake. Big mistake! The tiramisu was a disaster. I could not eat more than a couple of bites of the floury, tasteless cake. The cheesecake was even worse. Tasteless with a strange aftertaste.Probably the worst restaurant experience in memory. A complete waste of time and money.

Brooklyn Heights deserves good dining that's not on Atlantic Ave. Montague Street is a restaurant DMZ, nothing seems to work there. I've passed by Bevacco on Henry St. for years and finally tried it last evening. It's an inviting space with a classy exterior and roomy dining area offering the privacy otherwise lacking elsewhere. Traditionally appointed and perfectly lit with polychrome sconces. I really wanted to like this place. The baby kale caesar was weird. The roasted chickpeas seemed to shout gluten-free replacement for the usual croutons but tasted like stale popcorn. The dressing was acceptable but nowhere close to the caesar emulsion I expected. The pappardelle with wild boar ragu was disastrous. Homemade pasta great, but why ruin a sauce with delicata squash? Again, I get it; squash as a healthy, alternative thickening agent, but it totally destroyed any flavors from the meat. Tasted like dishwater. I noticed delicata squash as an ingredient in one of the pizza selections too. That's enough to sendme right back to Monty Q's for a slice! Service was adequate although the waiters' blue jeans seemed inappropriate for the sophisticated ambiance. Sadly, Bevacco doesn't fill the void. On a lighter note, the bar adjacent Binc had lively frat house scene by 7 pm!

I have eaten here twice and very much enjoyed it both times. The staff does a great job of making you feel welcome. Service can be a bit disconnected but they make up for it with a great attitude. Most recently was there on a Friday night and there was a good crowd. Had a signature cocktail that the bartender brought over. It was delicious. Food is solid. Most of our group had pasta and enjoyed it. One had the Salmon and was happy. One stand-out dish is the Frito Misto appetizer. All of this in a warm inviting environment.

Service is good. Pasta is good. Only complaint was that I ordered the Brussels sprouts and on the menu they are called "charred Brussels". They were not charred, they seemed boiled and there were no pumpkin seeds like the menu had said. I've been here a few times and have got a few different sides and pastas and the only thing that is consistently good is the pasta and the service.

I am writing to share my recent experience at your restaurant on June 13, 2024, as I believe it is important for you to be aware of the service we received during our visit.My two friends and I were looking forward to enjoying a nice dinner together, having made a reservation in advance. However, upon our arrival, we encountered a series of issues that left us feeling quite disappointed. After arriving, my friend and I waited outside for our third party member to join us. Once we entered, we were met with an awkward silence as we stood by the entrance, waiting for someone to greet us. After a few moments, we were approached by our waitress, who asked if we were a party of three and if we had a reservation, but her tone felt somewhat aggressive.It was disheartening to observe that multiple other parties were seated and greeted with warmth and friendliness, while we seemed to be treated differently. Additionally, it was noticeable that we were the only African American guests in the restaurant that evening, which added to our discomfort.Once seated, we were given three menus but only two drink menus. Shortly thereafter, a different waiter took one of our drink menus to give to another table, leaving us with just one menu to share among three people. The waiter waked passed multiple table with drink menus to take ours.When the waitress returned to take our orders, I inquired about mocktails, as I hadn't had the chance to look at the menu yet. Instead of offering assistance, she curtly informed me that everything was in the menu. I began to look for the mocktails, but without the ingredients listed, I sought her recommendations. However, she abruptly stated she would come back and walked away before I could finish my question.Throughout our meal, we noticed that the waitress frequently checked on the guests seated next to us, offering them recommendations and asking if they needed more time. In contrast, she only checked in on our table in passing, never stopping to ask if everything was okay. We felt uncomfortable voicing our concerns, as we did not want to appear problematic.When the check arrived, we felt compelled to leave a small tip, as the service did not meet our expectations. However, shortly after we paid, the waitress approached us in a loud and aggressive manner, questioning why we did not leave at least a 15% tip on a $200 bill. She loudly asked was there a problem with my services. This confrontation drew the attention of other diners, and we felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. My colleague attempted to explain our experience, highlighting the waitress's tone and the disparity in service we received compared to other guests. While she offered a couple of apologies, they felt insincere and condescending.While we appreciated the quality of the food, the service we received overshadowed our dining experience. As a Black woman, I felt particularly unwelcome, and it was disheartening to see such a stark contrast in treatment based on race.I believe that feedback is essential for improvement, and I hope you take this message into consideration. It is my sincere hope that future guests will have a more positive experience at your establishment.

Great food and seasonal cocktails. Love the hanger steak on a bed of broccolini and garlic mash. Also enjoyed the fried seafood platter- great sharing platter.
