Aita - Brooklyn

Technique was there. Flavor was not. The food quality was amazing but I believe it could?ve tasted better. Very hot outdoor seating but if you?re not sweaty go for it.

My fiancé and I were able to hit up Aita to celebrate our upcoming wedding. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, especially with the weather cooling down outside. The decor, music, service and general vibe were all inviting and enjoyable. What stood out the most from the meal itself was the quality of the ingredients and the different flavors that we haven?t tried from Italian cuisine before. We?ll absolutely be back again!

It was for brunch that we returned for our third visit to Aita in Clinton Hill. Previous brunch and dinner experiences were five stars and this one did not disappoint either. We sat outside and I want to mention that they have one of the better outside dining setups. It's well enclosed, warm, and reasonably separated from fellow guests. As it was brunch, we kicked things off with cocktails. The brunch cocktail menu is kinda brief but I'm sure they'll make you whatever youwant. We got the Fresh Photos and Bomb Lighting and the Woke Up Like This. The first was kind of a riff on a Dark Stormy with Cynar and Amaro subbing for the rum and the second was similar to an Aperol spritz w/o the soda, so kinda boozyand bitter. Both were quite enjoyable. We tried the Bomboloni to start, they were delicious. Rich but not too rich, if you know what I mean. A real treat. I chose the Vanilla French Toast for my entree, others chose the Crab Cake Benedictand the Porchetta Sandwich. The toast and benne's were very good but I think we were all jealous of the porchetta. It looked amazing and our friend loved it. The accompanying fries were also quite good. Lastly, our waitress was perfect,attentive and friendly. Can def recommend and will be back for more return visits.

This was money well spent. The Rib Eye Steak was hot and fresh. I ordered it rare, so when it arrived it was medium rare. EVERYTHING was seasoned to perfection. The potatoes and onions paired perfectly with each other and the steak. The ribeye was large as well. Definitely worth the money.

Oxtail Ravioli is AMAZING and the bread they send with it is also delicious. Thanks for including the little container of parmesan, you can never have too much!!!
