Brooklyn Roots Italian

“What a gem in Bayridge!!! Just know you can feel the ITALIAN pride in this place. We did not have a reservation but went in when they first opened around 430pm. They sat us right away. Its very comforting, warm ambiance. I love the servers who was bringing the garlic pan around the establishment and making it smell delicious. Our server was so nice. Well, two of them. A shorter woman and a taller young man. The woman explained the specials and also suggested a pasta and sauce with a couple of meatballs. I ordered the eggplant parm and he ordered the chicken Francese. Everything was very very good. Portions: so big. The only thing I was not too fond of was the way over eggy taste of the francese sauce. Otherwise the pasta was fresh and aldente to perfection, sauce delicious and chicken in the francese was very good! I am excited to go again and try something else! Get two or three plates and share all around!!!”

“HUGE portion sizes was what our server warned us from the start, and boy was that an understatement! What we ordered for dinner was enough for lunch and dinner the next day! Hats off to this place for serving such a delicious menu, from meatballs to their selection of seafood, we were very impressed by how great everything tasted! Service was beyond amazing--very warm and inviting, just amazing people here! Will be coming back now that we know Brooklyn Roots lives up to their reputation. Must try!”

“IMMACULATE. Literally the only word I can use to describe my experience tonight. We were debating all day what to order. (My best friend lives here) we asked what the specials were - so we could narrow down the choices. When he said "Sunday sauce (sawce)" we KNEW that was the choice to make. For a brief moment in my life I had an Italian stepmom who would make Sunday sauce, and I knew immediately nothing else mattered. Give me the sauce, extra cheese, extra bread and a big bottle of red wine. If you're coming to Brooklyn Roots, and you need to feed your soul (and a small army) get the Sunday sauce. Obviously only available on Sunday. First and only runner up was the chicken Marsala. Damn it Bobby that dish was AMAZING also. Since we aren't professional eaters we only managed those 2 dishes plus some cookies. The octopus looked amazing, the chicken parm was HUGE, and some seafood pasta dish also was looking prettyyyy good. Long story short "if you're not getting the Sunday sauce what are you even doing??"”
