My wife and I went to Bevacco in 2017... but we thought about returning to New York and I remembered this place. We had then eaten a pizza and a pasta dish, both spectacular. It was one of the restaurants we enjoyed the most in our 10 days in the city, so I highly recommend it.

Brooklyn Heights deserves good dining that's not on Atlantic Ave. Montague Street is a restaurant DMZ, nothing seems to work there. I've passed by Bevacco on Henry St. for years and finally tried it last evening. It's an inviting space with a classy exterior and roomy dining area offering the privacy otherwise lacking elsewhere. Traditionally appointed and perfectly lit with polychrome sconces. I really wanted to like this place. The baby kale caesar was weird. The roasted chickpeas seemed to shout gluten-free replacement for the usual croutons but tasted like stale popcorn. The dressing was acceptable but nowhere close to the caesar emulsion I expected. The pappardelle with wild boar ragu was disastrous. Homemade pasta great, but why ruin a sauce with delicata squash? Again, I get it; squash as a healthy, alternative thickening agent, but it totally destroyed any flavors from the meat. Tasted like dishwater. I noticed delicata squash as an ingredient in one of the pizza selections too. That's enough to send me right back to Monty Q's for a slice! Service was adequate although the waiters' blue jeans seemed inappropriate for the sophisticated ambiance. Sadly, Bevacco doesn't fill the void. On a lighter note, the bar adjacent Binc had lively frat house scene by 7 pm!

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn Heights! I stumbled upon this gem through an incredibly simple search of "Italian food in Brooklyn heights" and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere is very cozy and the workers are all incredibly personable. If you find yourself in this area of Brooklyn, definitely plan to visit. I personally would recommend getting the Gnocchi- it has the perfect about of spiciness and flavor. Plus they have the best tiramisu I've ever had in my entire life- you must order it when you stop in!

I could give it 4 stars because the food was amazing but unfortunately the service was terrible and the cutlery dirty!Ordered some food, wine and coffee. Let me tell you, they came 4 times to take the coffee cup away from my table (I'm a very slow drinker and I had maybe a quarter left in my cup), they literally tried to kick me out and the place was literally empty at 6pm.The cutlery was dirty so I took a new fork from the table next to mine (empty table, the whole restaurant was empty) because the food was already at my table. The lady there told me to no longer do this because they're for other customers (really Sherlock, I thought they are artdeco, altough they look more italian than the entire restaurant)And for this entire treatment the final payment was 120 dollars, tip is included mandatory and 20%. BAD BUSINESS! The service made me feel very bad.To note, I do have a vast experience as I have traveled around the world and ate in the best and cheapest places. I don't have many expectations when it comes to service but dang this restaurant really made me feel terrible.But the food was amazing. 5 stars! The pasta was great and the fries, amazing!!!!

Such a warm & cozy spot for an intimate dinner. Exceptional & thoughtful service; our glasses were never empty and the low-light (& soft music) set the tone for a wonderful dinner and conversation. I had the pomodoro pasta with gluten-free penne and you'd never be able to tell it was gluten free, so delicious! My cosmopolitan was lovely, needed to order a second.

I came here for an after wedding dinner. As soon as you walk in the bartender at the bar greets you with a friendly welcome. You’re seated faster than most places. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night. The lighting is not too bright and the music is not too loud so you can actually hear who you’re talking to. I had the linguine with fresh clams. The pasta was cooked to a tender texture. Personally, I prefer a little bit more flavor to my food so I had to sprinkle on some salt and pepper. The desserts are delicious and provide a nice ending to your meal. Overall, it was a great experience not taking into account our waiter repeatedly asking us if we wanted to purchase a bottle… Like three times to be exact.. All good.. I still recommend this spot.??
A nice little restaurant around the streets of Brooklyn. The waiters are very nice and welcoming, good to have a little talk even. The food was served fast and tasted amazing. I really recommend the lasagna.

Pros, the resturant is beautiful and modern. The service is decent. Cons, the food is below average, expensive and they give you childern sized portions. You are basically paying for the ambiance and location. Forced 20% tip. This place is not it!

Love this place! It’s a cute, neighborhood spot with great food and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. I’m surprised this place isn’t busier! If you’re in the neighborhood, it’s a solid place to grab dinner or a drink. Were planning on making it a weekly tradition!
Brooklyn Heights's one genuinely undiscovered gem. Lovely, European room and tables, attentive service. Perfect for a personal pizza to a lovingly prepared salmon or hanger steak. Best lasagna this side of Rome. GO, before the place gets discovered.
One word.. wow !!!
