Flora

I'll start by saying I LOVE the gratuity included/all-in pricing. Wish more restaurants would follow suit and pay their employees living wages and not push it onto the consumer. That being said, I was definitely a bit disappointed by the food. The Negroni spagliato was a bit weak, albeit tasty, but in a gigantic glass that was pretty unwieldy and hard to hold lol. We started with the pickled vegetable and wet bread appetizer which was strange and really salty. Wouldn't order again. The spaghetti al vongole was ok but not super flavorful and the clams were a bit chewy. The fish was also mediocre and tasted too fishy to be fresh, but the sauce it came in was delicious. I wish I had that sauce over the spaghetti!All in all, I wouldn't return but it's an ok choice if you need somewhere quick in the area. Service was great and friendly.

This is sort of the poster child for overpriced Italian food. It seems none of the entrees or pastas are vegetarian by default - all contain some type of meat or seafood. I opted to have an appetizer instead of asking for modifications to the items. The freselle & bufala affiumicata was just OK - smoked mozzarella cheese and crusty bread served with some pickled vegetable shreds, doused in too much olive oil. The flavors are mild and nothing special. This by itself came out to $27 (with tax and credit card surcharge), and was a pretty small portion even for one. The price on the menu at least includes tip. But it seems you're mostly paying for imported ingredients that don't justify the higher price over a domestic alternative. I'd go somewhere else.

Michelin southern Italian restaurant in Park Slope! Great in both sheets indoors and outdoors. We made a reservation at 6pm for two on Friday night. When we get there It was empty! But I always don't understand when they try to give the table right next to other costumers.. anyway. Other than that, we enjoyed our meals everything was authentic. Wine was great. The octopus flit was the best appetizer to start. We appreciate that tips are included in the price. Overall, I feel I expected too much to the Michelin restaurant. Good experience in the neighborhood!

So, I came back for dinner.Cento per cento! The food is prepared with the utmost care and attention. Everything is absolutely fresh and insanely delish. Fritto misto was superb with a light batter over soft fluffy fish and octopus...tasted just like Italy! Ravioli were freshly made and delicate. Fennel salad was perfectly sliced. There are no artificial ingredients and no hyped cuisine here. It's all simple, delicious and elegant in a very relaxed atmosphere. The food is a must try!!

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.

Everything I've gotten here has been delicious! Brunch is great as well. Very cute ambience and outdoor seating. Doesn't have a full bar, but they have wines and some spritz / mixed drinks.

It's a nice place to visit, the staff are good, the salad was good, I like the gratuity-free prices, where they pay their staff decent wages without depending on tips. If the food were better, if the pasta were lighter, if the bread wasn't dry, I'd be back regularly

I was extremely happy to find real Italian food here. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the ingredients used were of high quality. The service was excellent as well. As someone who appreciates fine dining and pays close attention to the quality, service, and pricing, I can say that Flora consistently meets all these criteria. I've visited multiple times, and the quality remains exceptional with each visit. The experience checks all the boxes! Flora offers authentic and delicious meals, along with great wine selections and desserts. They have certainly earned their Michelin star! The food is beautiful and absolutely delicious, I highly recommend.

Park Slope is a little out of my way but i love coming to Flora whenever I'm in the area. I've been for brunch and dinner and would easily recommend both, but the Eggs In Purgatory that I had for brunch easily made this a new favorite restaurant for me.This isn't just an upscale Italian restaurant, this is a distinct Southern Italian culinary experience. I haven't found an italian restaurant in NYC quite like it. Every time i've been, I leave my order up to the waiter who walks me through their dishes. I've found that there really is no bad choice. The tagliatelle dish on their menu was delicious and I recommend that whenever I take someone for dinner (or the ricotta ravioli). Expect to get both an appetizer and an entree per person. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in the area!

We dined at Flora on 9/21/24 and were very underwhelmed. The bill for 2 entrees and a side of spaghetti with olive oil and garlic (an off-menu request), no drinks, no dessert came to $106 with built-in tip plus tax and credit card fee. The octopus and roasted potatoes were dry and flavorless. No sauce was provided. The cod was over-salted while the accompanying tomato sauce with a few chunks of potato was bland. After getting halfway through my meal, I had to flag the waiter to request black pepper as none was offered, and he didn't come back to check whether we were satisfied. Aside from this oversight, service was good and friendly. The pasta was the highlight of the meal, cooked just right with excellent olive oil and garlic flavor. There are a number of better choices in Park Slope for Italian.
