This restaurant is very small and cozy with a few outdoor tables. It's very close to the Seaport. Service was ok but a little pushy. The pizza we had as an appetizer was just meh...OK. My grilled chicken breast was unfortunately tough and dry. The green salad was good and had a tasty vinegarette dressing.They have ONE bathroom in the whole place and if you are waiting on line for it, there is nowhere to wait except right in the doorway to the kitchen which is a tight squeeze from all the waitstaff activity.

Our go to Italian whenever by the seaport. Meatballs are just like grandmas and the sauce is perfect! Inside is cozy and rustic. But I usually sit outside during the warmer months. Service is always on point for how busy it always is.

Recently came here with the kids and family to enjoy a meal, and it was a great experience! The pasta dishes were delicious, and we also tried the chicken and Bronzino, which were really good. The calamari was another hit. The drinks complemented the food perfectly, and the service was super friendly. It was a bit light due to how packed the place was, and if you're sitting inside, expect it to be louder than usual. Overall, the service and food make it worth coming back again!Regarding Yelp, I recently had my Elite status removed after 8 years because I'm a business owner. Despite not being related or affiliated with any food businesses--only a local real estate office in NY--Yelp managers believe a business owner shouldn't be an Elite reviewer. In my opinion, being a business owner shouldn't disqualify someone from providing honest and fair reviews of unrelated businesses. My reviews are meant to be helpful and honest, and I believe that shouldn't affect my Elite status.

Really not a bad spot to check out if you're in the area. It's a nice little Italian place with outdoor seating near the Seaport. Good service and decent pasta, I'm not normally a huge pesto fan but I liked this one

Cute little Italian place near South Street Seaport. I love the grilled branzino. It was so fresh and flavorful. My family love their pasta dishes with seafoods as well. The tiramisu was light and had strong rum flavor. The crunchy shaved dark chocolate topping added interesting texture to it. Service was friendly and the place was charming. We will definitely return.

IL Brigante is a cozy Italian restaurant on the South Street Seaport. We came here around 8:30 PM and were seated immediately. I really liked the decor - roses on the table and lamps that were dim, but illuminating enough to see our menu and food clearly. Service was friendly and attentive.We got the insalate di pomodori (fresh tomato's with olive oil and seasonings on top of arugula) and the gnocchi. Fresh bread is complimentary, definitely get it! We got focaccia, which was steaming hot when it came out. It was a little thin, but super tasty with bits of fresh sprigs of rosemary. I really loved the salad (insalate), the tomatoes were fresh and juicy and I thought it was dressed just right - not too soggy or salty. Definitely order this to add some freshness to your order! I thought the gnocchi was solid (7/10) - just a little thick for my liking but the sauce was good. I would've liked a little kick of heat or more seasoning on the dish overall. But, in general, we had a good experience here!
