Camillo

Loved everything about our dinner at Camillo. Came on a Friday evening and the place was delightfully full -- service was kind, patient, and helpful. Our waiter made recommendations and let us take our time. Food was 10/10 -- we shared a pizza and the zucchini blossoms, and then each ordered pastas and mains. Super filling and delicious, would absolutely come again.

I am going to start by saying while I didn't love my dinner at Camillo, I will definitely try it again.The good-- the cocktails and pizza. Pizzas are "roman style" thin crusted, and good for a two person share appetizer or a solo entree.The cocktails were very good. I think for the neighborhood, the bar is well priced but the drinks are a bit on the smaller end.Our waiter was attentive and friendly. The not so good-- I ordered the eggplant as a main course, and that was a mistake. Unfortunately the eggplant was flavorless, burnt on the edges, and very limited on the "parmigiana". The cacio de Pepe was a bit soft and soggy. The inside is very small and I would recommend a reservation. This is not what I would classify as "good for groups" or "good for kids". This is more of a lowkey date or small quiet catch up. Planning another visit I would like to try two of the other appetizers and definitely would go for a happy hour.

We stopped by for dinner came in & were seated right away. Drinks to start Paradiso & Rosemary spritz , good drinks nice taste had a nice buzz by the time we left. On the Appetizers we tried the Zucchini blossom flowers this was not what we thought but it was good, nice tasting combo.. Margherita pizza was a good appetizer for us to share. On the Pasta Gnocchi allá Romana was not what I expected? tasted more on the mash potato side versus a gnocchi but it was not bad. The Cacio e Pepe & Carbonara pastas were both good. Asparagi & Ricotta pizza was a surprised, only because of the interstitial g combo but it was very tasty. Nice looking place is not crazy big inside, nice & dimly lit. Service started off a bit slow they acknowledge when we sat down but took them a bit of time to actually get our order. Nice atmosphere, laid back service was good once they got the ball rolling. Prices were reasonable. Overall we had an enjoyable meal.

If I were a newly-minted Crown Heights hipster who hadn't yet developed a taste for doubles, this would be my favorite neighborhood spot. That being said, I probably wouldn't make the trip here all the way from Williamsburg again.My favorites were the Jewish style fried artichokes, originating from the historic ghettos of Rome - perfectly textured. My mezcal negroni was also well done, and perhaps I would return for a drink and a bar snack.The zucchini blossoms were unfortunately very underseasoned, and I'm not sure why they needed to be encased in such a thick doughy coating when they're already served with focaccia. The pinsa was equally light on flavor.I liked the gnocchi dish just for uniqueness - honestly, it tasted like the matzoh ball parmigiana dish that previously lived only in my imagination.

Cozy authentic Italian place in PLG. They have a variety of spritzes and I tried the mirto one at our waiter's recommendation, which I enjoyed and found refreshing (kind of has a blackberry flavor to it). Fried artichoke appetizer was a little too oily but tasty overall and I liked the addition of mint. I liked the pinsa; the dough was less dense than pizza dough tends to be and the flavors were good. Tried the paccheri amatriciana pasta, which was slightly too salty and I wasn't a fan of the guanciale (basically just chunks of fat), but otherwise tasty. I think dessert might've been the highlight. Affogato was delicious-- simple, no frills, traditional, just high quality espresso and gelato.

WOW! We found this restaurant from a review on Tik Tok. We were going to go somewhere else for dinner but they had us n the review!! We loved the service and the full on Italian accents most of the wait staff had. Being from Florida we have no good Italian restaurants. I do travel all around the country and get disappointed with most Italian restaurants because I believe I can make it better at home. I ended up coming here twice the week I was staying and both times everything was above standards for me. The pasta was fresh the sauce was perfectly seasoned. The pizza had amazing flavors (I forgot to take a pic of that!) the drinks were so good and strong. I highly recommend this place.

Camillo used to be one of our favorite places to eat in Brooklyn. We would frequent it several times a month. A few months ago they made some changes to their menu and although all their food is great they got rid of our three favorite things. They used to have a white lasagna, a chicken and potato plate and a dessert that was ice cream with cream inside that they no longer offer. We have gone a few times since but it just hasn't been the same. From a service perspective the staff is always kind and attentive. The restaurant is clean.

If I could summarize my dining experience at Camillo in one word, it would be: fan-friggin-tastic.We reserved a table online, and the process was a breeze. Even though we were a little early, they gladly welcomed us and made accommodations to seat us promptly. We started off with a wild mushroom pizza (Funghi), and that was a crowd pleaser. The salad (Insalata Mista), not so much. The main dishes were 'chef kiss'. Several people ordered the oxtail pasta (Coda alla Vaccinara), which they enjoyed once they realized it was a braised oxtail sauce rather than actual whole pieces of oxtail.I loved my order, the Abbacchio alla Romana. The goat was fall-off-the-bone delicious. I'm craving it as I write this. This is a can't-miss dish. I promise you. The service was friendly and engaging. Great value and an awesome dining experience with authentic Italian flavor and hospitality.I highly recommend this gem of a place, and I look forward to dining there again very soon.

Great atmosphere & a stellar staff. The food is excellent as well as the cocktails and at an affordable price.

Tony and I hit up Camillo recently ahead of a concert at Kings Theatre. What a treat this place was. I would definitely recommended it.Here are a few highlights:A+ for the custom Negroni cocktails! Definitely get one of these. Of course, they feature the traditional recipe Negroni, but their exotic iterations on this classic drink are pretty awesome! OMG for the fried artichoke. No words for how good these are (look at mine and other reviewers' photos).Yummy all around for the pasta dishes! I'd say yo likely can't go wrong with any of these.The only dish that was "just okay" for us was the Baccalà-- a Alaskan cod with roasted with tomatoes, olives, capers, mashed potatoes & fresh oregano. The fish portion was a bit small, and the dish just wasn't mouthwatering like everything else we tried.As for the atmosphere at Camilo, the interior appears to be mostly new construction with a modern Italian cafe sensibility. It is definitely super inviting. The staff are also first rate--that is, they are all very friendly, knowledgeable about the food and drink selections, and quick to accommodate.
