We have had two visits here and both were stellar. It has a cute neighborhood vibe with having sophistication. The inside is intimate and the back garden is covered and is nice. The prices are great and a bit lower than other Italian spots but don't let that fool you, care is taken with the dishes. My husbands chicken parm is the best I've had. My branzino was a nice portion. It was served with arugula and I ordered delicious roasted cauliflower as a side. Our first visit, we ordered just pasta dishes and the squid ink pasta was a stand out. They do take reservations and be advised to do so, as this place is popular.

A cute and cozy Italian restaurant in the heart of Carroll gardens! Managed to get a Friday dinner res and Gersi did not disappoint. The chicken parm was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. A little hectic as the restaurant is pretty narrow and we were sat right next to the door however our waitress was really sweet and attentive.

I was at this excellent Italian restaurant a good while back with a small group I believe on a Wednesday or Thursday night. The restaurant isn't that big but they were able to get us a table. The staff was friendly and it wasn't super loud inside. I don't believe any of us went for a drink. The food overall was tasty although honestly I can't remember everything we got as it was quite a long time ago which is rare as usually I have quite good food memory. After ordering, they gave us some excellent focaccia with a really tasty garlicky bean dip which is a bit different than most other Italian spots and I very much appreciated it. I do know that we got a salad to begin with along with one of the bruschetta but I'm not sure which.I went with the Pappardelle Lamb Ragu With Pecorino Romano Cheese which was very tasty. The sauce was meaty with some sweetness from the tomato and clung to the perfectly cooked al-dente pasta which had a good chewy texture. It was very tasty and a good amount better than the usual Italian spot. Another person there got the Chicken Parmigiana served with Spaghetti Pomodoro which they liked. I tried a bit of the chicken as they were getting full as it was a massive portion and it was excellent and just as good as my dish. In terms of dishes I did not try, another person ordered the Linguine Vongole which they liked a lot and another person got the Vegetarian Gnocchi which they also liked.Overall the reviews were positive from everyone else who was there but they weren't surprised as they had been there before and it was nice to try this place having passed by several times when walking. It is not surprising to find such a good little Italian place in Carroll Gardens as per the neighborhood but this is one of the better ones. Low 4. Would go back.

Gersi is one of those places that is solid for dinner & brunch. I had a great experience on both occasions. The dishes were delicious, the service was great, and the price point was solid. We split several of the dishes - good portions! For Sunday brunch, we shared the french toast, and everyone was raving about it. They have a nice selection of drinks as well. The ambiance in both the main / back patio is nice. I would recommend getting reservations. They get busy and you want to avoid the long waits. I can't wait to go back soon!

My favorite pasta restaurant! The pasta is always delicious and they usually have seasonal specials. Their back garden in the summer is also really pretty!

So, so, so delicious! My twin sister lives nearby and we had some friends visiting from out of town. One of us is gluten free, so we wanted to make sure to find a place that would have plenty of gluten free options. Gersi is definitely one of those places! My sister has come many times, so it was highly recommended. We were seated quickly, even without a reservation, and the waitstaff was incredibly friendly. Of note, one of the servers was incredibly responsive refilling our waters -- such great service!The worst part about Gersi is having to pick only ONE of their delicious pastas! Seriously, everything on the menu sounded spectacular, and it was almost impossible to pick what to have for dinner. In the end, a few of us selected the lemon pasta, which was 1000/10. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

Fabulous service and food! And the ambiance is very cute - especially in the garden. My cousin came here for brunch last Sunday and I have to say I was pleasantly. Our waiter was very sweet and accommodating. Our food was delicious. I had the Italian Cobb salad and my cousin had the French Toast. Both looked and tasted delicious. I highly recommend doing brunch here.

I've heard about how good this place is from friends and it really delivered on my visit.Loves:+ Pasta is yum. We had the homemade spaghetti cacio e pepe ($20), handmade tagliatelle bolognese ($23), and rigatoni siciliana ($23). I liked everything.+ Loved the sweet pepper and ricotta crostino ($11)+ Easy to get same day reservations+ Indoor seating but also heated garden seating+ Really sweet and patient staffMaybe too premature to say after a single visit, but Gersi could very well be one of my fave restaurants in Cobble Hill. :)

Best Italian I've found in Brooklyn. Their toast spreads are phenomenal... my favorite was liver on toast, garlic a close second. Everything here is top notch. Staff super friendly and outside seating is a nice plus on a warm day.
