Staff wasn’t very friendly but the food and location are worth it

Be sure to make a reservation because at a certain time they won’t be accepting walk ins, I made a reservation. As far as the food goes, before being seated they told us that there wasn’t any pastas which was disappointing for a Italian restaurant but we still decided to go in and try other dishes.
I ordered the chicken paillard definitely NOT worth it at all, got two wood oven pizzas: buffalo and prosciutto, which were great. For appetizers we got the octopus and whipped ricotta which was good. For dessert we got cheesecake, vegan chocolate coppa, tiramisu, definitely not worth it either, bill came to be for 3 people $240
Location was great, got a amazing view and the service was good but definitely not worth it since we didn’t even get a chance to try the pasta and the other food was ok, but not worth the price

This place never fails. Food is always great and the service is super fantastic. Even during these times the food and service meets the same level of expectations. I live in jersey but this is always worth the trip and I can’t wait to return. If you want a quality meal with an amazing view this should be on your NY/Brooklyn bucket list.

We love this restaurant !! The service , the food , the view was amazing . Our server was really helpful , super nice and attentive .

The food was great and the staff was very welcoming and helpful.

I was excited to try this place out especially with the menu that looks pretty solid.

Food:
We had ahi tuna, kale salad, burrata, lamb pasta

All very solid dishes but nothing that said wow about them. Ahi tuna had no acidity but did appreciate the little spice kick whenever it happened. Kale salad was fine. Burrata was fine (great balsamic reduction), and the lamb pasta was ok. Tasted good but nothing out the ordinary.

Dessert was tiramisu as well as the sorbet flavors. Tiramisu was more cake than anything kinda dry we left it. The sorbet was “powdery” dunno if the sugar never fully dissolved but we were crunching on sugar most of the time.

Ambiance:
If you are looking for a restaurant with social distancing this isn’t it. Tables are pretty much next to each other but they do a temperature check when you come in (which I guess it’s just liability because it’s the most minimal effort and more tables is more money)

Drinks:

We got a reserve bottle close to the $200 mark. What I was surprised out was how long we waited to get a second pour (they keep bottles on ice which is nice but not next to the table) we just asked to keep it on our table.

Service:

Not the best coming from a reputation like Cecconi’s. Our waitress wasn’t seen as much but a waitress from another table kept checking on us. Our primary waitress never asked us how our food was and she was running around (this might be more on the restaurant than her)

Overall:
If you want a good view with ok food and are fine with the price point and want to be trendy, go with this. If you want better food at the same price point there are plenty of places who will offer that. Main attraction is the waterfront view and not the food or service.

The experience was very good. Always a pleasure to visit Cecconis.

Came out to dine for the first time since lockdown. Anniversary dinner with a newborn. They were very accommodating and helpful. Great to be back out.
Thank you!

Loved the food, view and ambiance. Appetizers were amazing really enjoyed the lobster spaghetti.

My husband and I had an amazing experience. The hostess was very kind and patient. Our server Cecelia was exceptional. And the food was nothing but delicious. We had a great time and will definitely be coming again soon.

Branzino and cocktails were delicious. And nothing beats a Brooklyn sunset!

Seated right away. Service was quick and food was excellent.

Great outdoor space. Food is just delicious and great service. Will defenitely come back for a glass of the house rosé and another -enourmous- slice of tiramisù!

Food fantastic, excellent service and a killer view!

Food is absolutely delicious! Portions are great. Scenery if the bridge is literally everything. Love this place!!! It is a must go.

Nice to eat outside

Outdoor dining has a great view. Food is always delicious!

Food was delicious - bufflo pizza was very good. For entrees the Pasta dishes were great (lamb dish and lobster) and we had the chicken which was also yummy. Everyone was kind, but service was slow and confusing at times. Outdoor sitting was beautiful and social distancing was done well.

This place is all about the location. Its romantic and so beautiful. And i highly recommend you try it one time.

Pros: The views
Cons: drinks were ok. I should have ordered a beer.
Waiter - mediocre. Straight to the point. No recommendations. Just not warm and welcoming. My party definitely understands the heat and the mask are not fun.
Food - ok at best. The eggplant was over cooked. No bread to start off with. And i know not all locations do this but when i think of an Italian spot i think food,bread,warmth, being full. I was still hungry.

I wont crave to go back here.

My server (Tara E.) was absolutely amazing and the food was prepared to perfection as always. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Downside: The hostess was not so great (rude). Manager was subpar, when asked about if it was the correct vintage of a wine bottle he was passive aggressive in his response. I planned to have an intimate birthday dinner for my partner and I didn’t want to bicker over his error. Aside from that, thank you to Tara for providing exceptional service and the kitchen for their dishes.

Great place, cozy and nice. I’ll come back again definitely.

Not reachable to call about reservation, showed up to find it closed

Booked dinner for 9pm inside. Arrived at the restaurant to be told there was no indoor seating. Nobody wanted to pick up the phone and give me a heads up? Really?

As always the best !

The restaurant was so nice enough to light all of the candles on my cake and the food was out of this world delicious so thank you for a great night with a beautiful view!

On point, great evening!

Everything was very nice, especially for outside dining.

Great date spot with an awesome view. Food was delicious. Definitely will come back again.

One of my favorite restaurant in the city, love it.

Attention to detail and covid precautions taken for guests to be safe

Loved that you've become nut free. Great experience

The food was DELICIOUS! Service was amazing, I think our server was named Allison, she was very nice and attentive. My boyfriend and I visited for the first time and will definitely be back.

We were celebrating our 5 Wedding Anniversary, the restaurant was notified when I made the reservation but didn’t seem to bother making any special amendments or courtesies. I wasn’t impressed at all. Having Food & Beverage & hospitality mgmnt background they could have at least acknowledged it. The ambience was good outdoor seating due to the COVID-19 situation, food was average and expensive overall I’d give it a 2 star rating.

The outside area is so important at this time!! I hope you keep it open out there--the loveliest restaurant in Brooklyn Heights right now, for that reason!!!!!

Food was overpriced and the portions were too small.

How is a pizza $45 dollars.

The most beautiful outdoor view and very good food.

First time there w/ my girlfriend to celebrate our 4th year anniversary. Was referred by my cousin who use to work there. Truly loved the restaurant, the service was excellent and the food and drinks were amazing! Perfect place for any occasion.

Wonderful place
