Best gluten free pizza in the area! Gluten free pasta was also delicious. Highly recommend!

Steak and eggs for brunch was delicious. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Park Slope.

Chill ambiance, cool vibes, large windows, a large open looking space with good lighting, not heavily packed and overly loud, and some solid Italian food; what more can you ask for? They have a good selection of pastas and pizzas with various different ingredients to accommodate just about anyone. We got the Short Rib Tagliatelle and the Diavola Pizza, which paired nicely. - Short Rib Tagliatelle: Served piping hot and managed to stay warm the entire time we were eating. The tomato sauce was absolutely delicious and stole the show away from the pasta or the short rib. I kept dipping my pizza slices in that sauce. - Diavola Pizza: Think of all your spicy cured meats and sausages mixed with provolone and topped with sweet honey. Ingredients make up the perfect combination of flavors you can't resist. Pizza was quite large and is good for sharing if you aren't that hungry. This is the classic Italian style thin crust pizza, where the ingredients drop on the plate the moment you pick up a slice with your hands. Even though the short rib tagliatelle stole the show, this pizza was a close second. They have a great selection of cocktails and beers on tap. Perfect restaurant to come back to as your neighborhood spot for a quick dinner. Our food arrived fast and service was great.

Enjoyed a nice dinner after the gym here! Shared a pizza and the rigatoni pasta. The pizza was quite good with the right amount of spice and sweetness from the honey you can pour on top. The mocktails were ok heavily hibiscus flavor couldn't really taste the other essentials in the drink

4.5 stars Found this place and was excited to check it out so we planned a joint birthday dinner for 11 on a Saturday night. We made a reservation for 7pm and arrived to a quiet setting. We were seated at the bench closest to the pizza ovens which was comfortable and we had the perfect amount of space. The place did definitely fill up and get pretty loud while we were there so the reservation was a good idea for us. Our server, Joseph, was great! He was very patient with our group that was trying to decide what we were getting. I, myself am pretty indecisive about food and always enjoy a good recommendation. We ended up ordering the calamari, octopus, meatballs and prosciutto with burrata. Everything was good, but the prosciutto and burrata were extra yummy. I also got the ricotta and honey which I can't often find on menus and it was so yum! I always think it's funny when our group orders drinks that amount to like half what the food costs lol we also got 3 pizzas - margherita, burrata and the diavola. Honestly, I wasn't wowed by any of them and actually could have done without any pizza (to be fair I didn't try the margherita bc it was on the other far side of the table). Others enjoyed the pizza and the burrata was a hit. For entrees, we got the short rib tagliatelle, cacio e pepe, linguini with white clams, oricchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe (my recommendation), parpadelle Bolognese, with fries and brussel sprouts with pancetta. Everyone seemed to really like their dishes and the cacio e pepe and short rib were a hit. I liked my oricchiette and it was as described - creamy flavorful and I don't normally enjoy pasta like that. I also enjoyed the brussel sprouts a lot. We got all sorts of drinks from the bar and we got some bottles of montepulciano which were really good. For dessert, we got some cappuccino, espresso, tiramisu, Nutella calzone and affogato. They did a nice little candle and birthday song and the desserts were refreshing! The affogato ice cream had this nice crunchy exterior as well and it tasted delicious with the espresso. I had a great time with my friends and Joseph was awesome all around! I'm glad we liked him so much because though we added extra gratuity for him, it is not noted anywhere (until you get the receipt AFTER you pay) that the tip percentage is based on the total check AFTER taxes so it can definitely add up. Like I said, Joseph was awesome so I'm glad (and hope) he got the extra, but it's something to keep in mind.

01/08/24: What an amazing neighborhood gem. Women/family owned.From entering one feels very welcomed. Low key, chic, elegant decor. Classy yet simple serving American Italian dishes, wood fire pizza and full bar. My drink of choice Illyia, spotted Prosecco as an ingredient it was a must have. As I cannot have grapefruit they substitute pineapple. Delicious and presentation was on point almost too pretty to drink. My dinner mates had the Boulevardier they enjoyed immensely. Bit strong for one, however the shot of orange juicier added throughout the consumption made it perfect. Dinner, we chose multiple items and consumed family style. All delicious and pleasant to the pallet, we all had favorites but nothing disappointed. Burrata Pizza made in the oven on premise was on the thin crust side, non greasy which I love. Pure deliciousness in each bite. My favorite was the Cacio e Pepe who knew cheese and black pepper on pasta would be yummy. We added grill shrimp which made it even better. Fritto misto hit with the entire table but as I can't really can't do fried foods I only sampled a bit. People the fried cauliflower, wasn't expecting to enjoy as I did. But then again what doesn't taste good fried. Grilled Octopus: of the best I've had. Only thing needed maybe some form of sauce. Paccheri seafood: so fresh, tomato sauce not overpowering, another savory dish. Salmon with salad. My least favorite. I felt needed a bit more seasoning , but also I think I'm just salmon out so these days salmon no longer does it for me. But definitely try because others enjoyed. Our server Paula simply amazing. Attentive, engaging, knowledgeable about menu and recommendations and all around pleasant. While waiting I had direct view of the bar and I must say bartender gave it her all when making drinks such concentration. Each time server passed our table with a drink you mainly heard oooh what's that that looks good..lol It's rare I give 5 stars as something always out of sync. But from start to end Black Oak earned my 5 stars. Ultimate bonus. They are on Seated. Who doesn't like a little monetary back on dining out. Reviewers download seated app use code michelle1454. You're welcome.

I LOVE this spot. The food is incredible! I've tried the salmon, pizza, meatballs, & buffalo wings - everything is delicious. The service is always top notch and everyone is so kind and helpful. Walking in the ambiance is warm, cozy and welcoming. If you haven't been- definitely go check it out!

Black Oak is a perfect little haven to dip into for a nightcap and that's just what we did on a recent warm evening. It was a Tuesday night and the street was lined with bars and restaurants that had already closed at the disturbingly early hour of 10pm. I lament often on the lack of late night options these days, but it is what it is and Black Oak was thankfully still open... and not crowded. The four of us just wanted one drink and opted to sit at one of the high boys. The space is quite inviting, whether you're having a dinner at one of the tables or at the bar/lounge section. The bar offers a decent array of cocktails, beer and wines. While I can't comment on the food, I'd definitely come back to check out what types of vegan options they have going on as I love the ambiance (dark and elegant). My glass of Sangiovese was just right. And hello, they serve pizza until Midnight, so what's not to love?

We can here for drinks, Rebecca the bartender made us well balanced amazing drinks. The Cosmo was a perfect ballet slipper pink n manhattan was superb. The owner Gloria is fantastic. Next time I'll come back n try the food.
