Almar - Brooklyn

The food was good but not as well as an Italian food.

We had a small celebratory work dinner here. Staff was so hospitable, the atmosphere was festive and cozy, and the food was amazing. Dishes were served family-style and there was plenty of food for everyone. They did such a nice job “personalizing” our event and even had our logo printed on the menus, such a nice touch! Al Mar is equally suitable for a casual dinner or a special celebration. It got quite crowded for a weekday, and you can tell this charming place is a neighborhood staple.

Great restaurant with an incredible atmosphere. The food was tasty and their specials were great! Our server, Chris, was on point and highly attentive to details. What appeared to be the owner/manager was friendly and a team player. I had the pleasure of dinning right after the Thanksgiving break, it was nice to see staff consistently greet and have small talk with what appeared to be repeat costumers. Also, It's a Wonderful Life was playing on the projector, peak holiday atmosphere. 10/10 experience and I will be dinning here again. Thank you staff Almar.

As I sit here writing this, I can't help but think about the amazing flavors that I experienced at this restaurant. The Mezzi Rigatoni Pasta was absolutely delicious and truly a culinary masterpiece. I also tried the Spaghetti, but I still preferred the Rigatoni. The Chicken with potatoes and green beans was cooked perfectly, with a crispy skin and juicy meat. The dessert was also amazing, especially the hazelnut gelato. The service was great and the ambiance was perfect for a cozy date or lowkey celebration. I highly recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant is small and there is limited waiting space. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!

Outstanding food!! Everything I tried there was beyond expectations
