Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in Bensonhurst

The River Cafe is probably the most beautiful and maybe the best restaurant in NYC. The views are stunning and the service without comparison. We had the vegetarian menu which was varied and delicious . There were a number complimentary “ gifts” from the chef in addition to the amuse bouche . The bread was excellent, beet salad was prepared table side , I had the truffle risotto and my companion the simple pasta dish which was also delicious . We both had the signature dessert - the Brooklyn bridge . I can recommend this restaurant highly . It’s expensive but worth every cent.

Food was amaizing! The best culinairy experience of my life!! Comme back again for sure!

One of the longest standing top notch restaurants in Bklyn. My guests were won over end though they don’t regularly dine in bklyn. The potato wedges are a great treat. Seafood soup new to me and A+. Apple cake and pecan pie hard to resist at the table’s center. Like many servers Tim has been a knowledgeable likable staffer for many years.

An altogether excellent experience: great food and friendly, attentive service in a cozy though completely full restaurant during the height of the Saturday night dinner rush. Piccoli is one of our faves, and didn't disappoint in the least this time around. Good move to offer cocktails in addition to their excellent wine list, but there should be more choices than Espresso and a few other esoteric flavored Martinis. But quibbling aside, a super evening!

Wonderful place. Staff was so professional and welcoming. This is a direct reflection of of Greg the operator.m who makes it a point to visit every table. It was crowded when we got there but worth the wait.
