Cremini's - Aperitivo & Kitchen

This place has my whole heart! We originally found this for their authentic Italian piadine that are also highly rated on Eater! And although those are some of my favorite items on the menu that got us through the door at first, upon our second and third meals there we found other treasures like the frito misto and the ravioli and the tiramisu!! What can make this taste better, you ask? Knowing that the food and business is owned and cooked by a wholesome Italian family! We LOVE this Italian gem in Brooklyn!

Cremini's is now my go-to for Italian food. Service-perfection. Really, I cannot say enough about how welcoming Ricardo is.Ambience-intimate without being stuffy. Perfect for dates but also for catching up with old friends.Wine list-great options and great range of prices. Again, something for everyone's taste.Food-wow. Fresh, homemade and you know the chef is putting her heart and love in the cooking and showing off her country and Region.The Olives-get them (obviously!). We did the mixed and my favorite was probably the Gorgonzola but I also just love gorgonzola.We were a table of 3 and also shared the meatball app, the cacio e Pepe and the rigatoni. Seriously was a perfect combo. The meatballs are in a white wine sauce and beautifully light. The pasta was itself was delicious - then you add the sauce. Having a bit of both was great-and I refuse to pick a favorite. Cannot wait to return and to try even more dishes!

I have visited Cremini's a handful of times now and I love how intimate and authentic the place is. Please order "Elena's Burger" and thank me later: 8 Oz of 3 selected meats (pork, beef and chicken) with ascolana olives minced, provolone cheese, bacon, caramelized onions and a homemade mayonnaise. Whenever I am craving a burger - this is my go to spot. I love the flavors. They offer so many other dishes but I just keep coming back to this one (& the desserts)! Order a glass of wine and enjoy the wonderful food & service.

We came here for dinner- we live in the area and just kept meaning to check this place out, and are so glad we finally did! Love the cozy ambiance and vibe!! We left our food/drinks up to Ricardo's recommendations and were so happy with everything he recommended! Everything had beautiful presentation and flavor! He explained to us how they get they best quality ingredients for everything, and you can absolutely tell! They are truly passionate, knowledgeable and genuine. (And so nice!) We loved our entire experience and look forward to coming back, he was telling us that the menus rotate seasonally so we are excited for the upcoming spring menu! Five stars, highly recommend!

My husband and I have been here a few times and love it every time. The owner/server is so friendly and excited to share his cuisine with others. Don't miss out on the pesto pasta--it's the best we've ever had. What a great neighborhood spot!

Their pasta is on the heavier, creamier side, but oh my is it good when you're in the mood for it! We love their pesto gnocchi and cacio e pepe on days when we really want to pasta splurge. There are a lot of great Italian eateries in the neighborhood and, while I'm no expert, I consider this in the category of Italian comfort food when compared to the other establishments.

This restaurant has become mine and my boyfriend's new favorite place. The food is absolutely divine and not at all like your traditional Italian restaurant. The sandwich with truffle cream is a MUST. Not to mention their wide selection of Spritz that I need to go back and try. The ambiance makes it the perfect place to go for a date night or family night, and is run by the sweetest people. They delivered top tier service and I honestly think I will soon become a regular from how often we've been going-and every time they are consistent in bringing only the best out to the table.

We have dined at Cremini's twice, and both visits were SPECTACULAR. They offer the cuisine and wines of Le Marche, which is on the Adriatic side of Italy, and is rarely presented by Italian American restaurants. The owners of Cremini are welcoming hosts. They have both indoor seating and a delightful garden. They have been winning awards! Don't miss a chance to visit and say Ciao

Great neighborhood spot. Food is quite good. Ricardo and Elena are lovely. Love the small family business nature of it all. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed both the food and the ambiance. Had a fun chat with the owner about the region of Italy where the food (and he) is from and it's clear there is a lot of passion behind this restaurant and the food. Feels very authentic and definitely will be back!
