Brooklyn Roots Italian

Old School Italian Food - Served with uncompromising love, with Chef Thomas J. Perone at the helm. It's like going to your Uncle's house or Grandma's basement.

Brooklyn Roots is all about people, history, and some good food. If you've been here before, you know it is a little bit of a scene, it's not your typical restaurant. I know one thing for sure my father would have been here all the time, with the Sinatra playing and the old school brooklyn attitude we have. This is Brooklyn Roots.
