The world in general is a rough place, and Brooklyn is just as rough. But it’s made all the better by the likes of Gargiulo’s. I had their Caesar salad and risotto. And to put it simply, it was all authentic in an age of authenticity. And our server was also a really cool cat. I don’t know if I’ll ever end up in Coney Island again, but if I do, I wouldn’t mind making another trip to Gargiulo’s for some authentic Italian food and friendly service.
Gargiulo’s Restaurant was a wonderful venue for a christening celebration. We had the pleasure of capturing both photography and video there, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. The staff provided great service, the food was delicious, and the space had a warm, elegant feel for a family celebration. One of our favorite details was the beautiful natural light on the dance floor, which made the moments feel even more special and photographed beautifully. A great location for
We had just arrived in town and needed a nice meal. Wow, did we hit the jackpot! Greeted at the door by the owner, atmosphere was gorgeous yet comfortable, food was amazing, Emilio, our server, was not only professional, but friendly, and made our dining experience that much more special. Very reasonably priced for this quality of food and level of service. On the way out we spoke to George, the bartender, I can’t wait to come back and try one of his espresso martinis! Thank you!
