Williamsburg

About the restaurant

Italian for 'kisses and hugs', baci&abbracci's Neapolitan-style pizzas and "fresh", "homey" dishes merit the trip on the L. The white-washed walls of this modern Williamsburg trattoria boasts a small bar, while the sun-kissed garden is an "enticing escape." Neighborhood folk love the bread, mozzarella and pasta which are made fresh daily. Your first order of business: Ordering a Peroni or glass of Italian wine. Then dig into belly-warming dishes like calamari, red beet and goat cheese gnocchi, and wood-fired pizzas (Time Out New York's Best New Pizza Joint 2007) . Finish off with the torta della nonna, with custardy sabayon, chocolate cream piping, and crushed, toasted pistachios. As delicious as the food, is the "exceedingly friendly" staff.

Always the perfect meal with outstanding service. And, although I live in the East Village, this is a 'neighborhood' favorite and my go-to, whether with one other person or a group of friends.

This was our 2nd annual trip to NYC for the holidays. I was with a party of 9. Mike was our waiter. He was very professional, attentive, patient, and he gave suggestions on what to try. Some of us were apprehensive about eating here but at the end everyone was very satisfied. Thank you MIKE!

This year for our Christmas trip to New York City. My kids decided they wanted to eat at Margaritaville Times Square. We’ve always had great experiences at the Orlando location so we decided to give it a try. The host was very polite and accommodating. The servers were upbeat and genuine. The food came out quickly. My kids were raving about the chicken fingers, not so much the craft macaroni and cheese. My husband liked his cheeseburger in paradise. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp. It was good but I wish I would have tried something else. The ambience was great, however we would have liked to see live music like at the other location. It Wasn’t as impressive as Orlando for it being in Times Square . Overall great family restaurant.
