Osteria Brooklyn

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Italian Hospitality on Myrtle Avenue

On a stretch of Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, Osteria Brooklyn delivers the kind of Italian hospitality that feels personal rather than performative. The restaurant has earned recognition from Gambero Rosso — one of Italy's most authoritative food guides — with a 2 Forks distinction in 2026, a mark that speaks to genuine craft rather than trend-chasing.

Chef Raffaele Solinas

At the center of it all is Chef Raffaele Solinas, whose approach anchors every plate and every event in the fundamentals of Italian cooking: handmade pastas, seasonal ingredients, and refined Italian classics. His presence is felt not just in the kitchen but in the way the restaurant engages its guests — directly, attentively, and without pretense.

A Waterfront Setting for Every Occasion

The space itself offers a warm waterfront setting with flexible layouts suited to both seated dinners and cocktail-style receptions. Whether the occasion is an intimate birthday dinner, an engagement party, a rehearsal dinner, or a corporate gathering, the team builds customizable, chef-driven menus around each event. Curated wine selections complete the picture.

Beyond the dining room, Osteria Brooklyn extends its Italian hospitality through private chef services — in-home dinners, meal prep, and more — bringing the same seasonal, handmade sensibility directly to guests wherever they are.
