Love the outside seating with views of the bridges, in dumbo. Love the food and cocktails here. Pizza options are great, I also love the kale pesto pasta and eggplant parm. The service is excellent every time we go

We went to eat here after the nice lady at Burberry told us that they had the best food and views of the bridges. She wasn’t lying. The views of the bridge’s were great. I would recommend getting a reservation so you can eat outside on the enormous patio. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We walked in and got an inside table at 4 on a Sunday afternoon. When we were done they had a long line. So i would recommend getting a reservation.

This place was bustling on a Wednesday night. We ordered a bunch of food to share and the whipped ricotta and truffle pizza stole the show. The dessert was disappointing though - the cookies were too thin and very bitter. I’d suggest to skip that but we had a great time and I would def go back.

Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious. I went there for a quiet birthday dinner, and our wonderful server Allen noticed the birthday bag, and quietly brought a complimentary dessert with a candle on top! Such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. One of the most memorable experiences for us, thank you so much!

For me this place is always more than 5 stars it is a gem at Dumbo area. The food is delicious, cocktails and atmosphere amazing. Today was actually very special occasion because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The gave us the best table facing the east river and the city. Our server Wendy 10/10 she made the experience even better with all the best options in the menu. If you go to this place please ask for her Wendy is the best. She will take care of y’all because we could tell is knowledgeable about premium hospitality.

Ever just sit by yourself near the Brooklyn Bridge and watch the boats and people go by? If you’re ever in New York, I know the perfect spot to do it—Cecconi’s Dumbo. Total hidden gem—you kinda have to search for it, but once you find it… wow. Instantly gets added to your list of must-eat places in the city. Beyond the food, the aesthetic is gorgeous—lots of art and the cutest lamps scattered throughout the restaurant. But what really impressed me? Their manager, Elicia. I don’t like kale in my salads, so I asked if I could swap it for lettuce. Not only was she super kind about it, but she personally went to the chef to make it happen. I came for the food, but left with a memory full of views and amazing customer service. Definitely stop by on your next trip to the city that never sleeps.
