We had such a wonderful experience here. We walked in and immediately Appreciated the family vibe of the spot - only to meet the owners and actual family who were lovely. They took our food sensitivities very much to heart and prepared some Of our favorite Italian food we have had in a long time. Maria, the owner, was amazing. And Raquel was awesome. We had the tuna (which was our favorite), gluten free pasta (sooo good), and the branzino and loved every bite. Would highly recommend.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Brooklyn, look no further than Cono’s restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with the utmost kindness and hospitality, making us feel right at home. Unlike many places that claim to be Italian but fall short, Cono delivers true Italian flavors. Every dish we tried was perfectly crafted, rich in taste, and reminiscent of a meal you’d enjoy in Italy. The passion and attention to detail in the food are unmatched, and the service is impeccable. This is a place that truly understands and respects Italian cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real thing!

Been eating here for 20 years. Food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Prices for dishes are way below the normal for such quality of food and service. The food is light and tasty, the way it's supposed to be; not overly cooked with butter and salt. Family owned and operated so you always get the best. Bringing friends and family here for years and everyone loves this place.

Will definitely return. Loved everything. Food is super fresh, homemade, delicious. Had the grilled polpo (octopus) and lobster fusilli. Thank you, Cono!!!

We made reservations for dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised with an opportunity to experience a wine tasting with Omar. Our experience was extremely informative and pleasant. Omar was so knowledgeable, and we were so fortunate to have this opportunity. It is one of our favorite experiences at this resort!

Such a cute spot! I’ve lived down the block for 2 years and only just came in for the first time. Waitress was funny and entertaining and the food was amazing. Will be back!
