We've been going there for years.
Foods excellent, highly recommend the veal chop. The appetizers are excellent, the baked clams a must...
Good size portion and very accommodating serve. Parking is a big plus in B'klyn.
La Palina has never disappointed, it's a cut above any Italian restaurant.

This hidden gem has always been a favorite of mine, growing up blocks away. I hadn’t been there in a long time so walking in last night to a nearly packed room brought such joy and nostalgia to my heart. The service was spot on! Genuinely kind and respectful servers who flawlessly tend to your every need. The food was as delicious as I had remembered. Can’t wait to go back!
Excellent food. Best pork chop I've ever had. You have to try their pork chop it's amazing. Sauce is very fresh and tasty on the pasta dishes. Even the free garlic bread is amazing. They seem to get packed so you need a reservation. The staff is fast and friendly.
Classic Italian restaurant.
I was expecting a bit more from the atmosphere but it is just an old school place.
Food is great and that is the most important factor. Service is great as well.
I had grilled salmon with spinach , so delicious, and my daughter got grilled shrimps with salad.
We enjoyed the food.
This place is more for older crowd, we were the youngest ones in the whole place.
I have been coming here 20 years + and it never disappoints. Everything I have tried is delicious fresh and is made with care. Every bite is like a hug. My favorite dish has to be the shrimp Oreganata. I alternate with the filet of sole oregenata. Anything oreganata!! I would probably eat a shoe from this place if it was oreganata. My wife gets the veal spiedini which is perfectly made. It is a great experience. They treat you like family. When you order an espresso they bring the bottle of Sambuca without even asking and they don’t bring you glass of sambuca with an espresso bean when you just want a little pour. This is my favorite Italian restaurant in a borough that is filled with great Italian restaurants

I often get nervous when trying a restaurant for the first time. For some reason I try to interpret the bad reviews. Which is what I did before making reservations at La Palina. An Italian restaurant in a section of Brooklyn I rarely have reason to be in. Difficult to park (if you prefer not to valet, which is an option). We were seated near the kitchen, but I had a view of the dimly lit, aged restaurant. Service was slow to begin. Then the bus boy greeted us with water. Then bread. Then garlic bread. Then he lit the candle on the table. Then the server took our drink order, and things progressed quickly, and perfectly. Baked clams: delicious. Mussels marinara: perfection. Ravioli. Chicken rollatini. Zucchini (on the house). I never order cappachino, but I did this time. Delicious. Servers seemed to be on the job for many years, but instead of having an attitude, they excude professionalism. And very reasonably priced.
Problem was I felt the ‘regulars’ ( and just about everyone else in the place was a regular; whenever someone new walked in they made the rounds, hugging & kissing the people seated) got preferential attention.
Had such a great meal here. Delicious food and excellent service. The sangria was great. Couldn't ask for more! Highly recommend and would definitely go again.
Classic Italian sauce joint, with big portions, and friendly waiters. Spedini all Romana, Mozzarella en Carrozza for apps. Chicken parm is legendary as is the loaded Chicken Scarp. Save money by paying with cash.
Delicious
I’ve gone here since I was a kid. Garlic bread and stuffed clams are one-of-a-kind. Outstanding food, atmosphere and service. I wish I still lived in Brooklyn so I could eat here more.
Great food spot with a very traditional atmosphere. Service was great. It is a bit dim in there though and slightly warm. However lots of delicious food options and very well priced. Perfect to come here with a big group.

Good place for parties. Family style menu. Service was good. Cappuccino was nice! Wine and beer were decent.
Tiny valet parking lot next to the restaurant.
